It will start growing in your spirit and eventually change your whole life. "As God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people" (II Cor. 6:16). Jesus is in you. That's the most glorious truth in the Word of God. Let that truth come alive in you today. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"And those are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have not root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended." (Mark 4:16-17). Don't Be Stony Ground. There seems to be an abundance of "Stony Ground" Christians these days. Initially, they get excited about the Word of God. They'll hear a message on prosperity, for instance, and they'll go home saying, "Halleujah! I'm going to prosper in the Name of Jesus!" But then, somehow things don't work out like they thought they should. Their bank balance doesn't double overnight. They go through some disappointments. They suffer some criticism. Then, before you know it their faith has withered away. If you don't want that to happen to you, make up your mind right now that you're not going to let the rough times defeat you. Decide now that you're going to hang onto the Word even when the persecutions and afflictions come--because, I can guarantee you, they "will" come. When you decide to walk by faith, you don't get rid of trials. You learn to overcome them. When you let the Word of God get down into your heart, you're going to learn more about the devil than you ever wanted to know because he's going to do his best to see to it that the Word is unfruitful in you. He's going to be trying to mess you up every time you turn around. You'll have problems, but the differece is "now" you have the answer--the Word of God. Thank God, however, through Christ Jesus you have the power to defeat Satan. When he brings problems and disappointments your way, you don't have to lie down and let them steamroll over you. Just keep fighting the good fight of faith until you win. If you get knocked down, get back up and say, "Look here devil. I'm not going to let you steal the Word out of my heart. It's in there and I'm meditating on it: I'm saying it with my mouth; and I'm acting on it until God's blessings overtake me. If you don't believe me just hide and watch!" If you'll take that attitude, no matter what that devil does, he'll never make a "Stony Ground" Christian out of you! In the Name of Jesus. Amen.

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24). Four Words That Work. Believing. That's the key to everything in the Kingdom of God. It's the way we tap into the very Power of Almighty God. Most us know that. But do we know how to put it into action? Actually it's so simple, it's startling. It's as simple as saying, "I believe I receive." Something happens in your spirit when you say those words. I don't understand how, but it does. I don't understand how my digestive system knows what to do when I swallow something, but it does. All I have to do is take a bite of food and it goes to work. I don't have to make it happen. I don't have to feel it happen. It just happens. That's the way the body is made. In much the same way, when you feed on God's precious promises and "swallow" them into your spirit by saying, "I believe I receive," faith is released. You don't have to make it happen. You don't have to feel it happen, It just happens. The reborn spirit is made that way. When you constantly say with you mouth, "I believe I receive my healing" or I believe I receive my financial needs met," and then quote the scriptures that back those things, faith is released to bring Power to bear on those needs. "You need to keep the switch of faith turned on." In the face of darkness when it looks like your not receiving. When everything looks the worst, say it the loudest, I believe I receive. Four Words That Work. Do you want to activate your faith today. Then make these four words the most important words in your vocabulary. Use them everyday. You'll soon discover that indeed that will work.

"And let the peace(soul harmony which come) from the Christ rule (act as umpire continualy) in your hearts--deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds....And be thankful--appreciative, giving praise to God always." (Colossians 3:15, The Amplified Bible). Let Peace Rule. Have you been praying that God will let you know whether a certain action you want to take is agreeable to His will or not? Let the Peace of Christ be your guide. Let it help you settle the issue. If you start to take that action and you realize you don't have peace about it, don't do it. Remember, though, that this inner leading of the Holy Spirit, this subtle sense of uneasiness or Peace He gives you, is something you have to watch and listen for carefully. He generally won't just come up and knock you out of bed one morning and tell you what you need to do. The primary way He speaks to you is by what the Bible calls an inward witness. So, you have to listen. You can't just stay busy about the things of the world all the time. You have to give Him time and attention. Also, watch out for strife. If you're irritated and upset about things in your life, it will be very hard to receive that quiet guidance from the Holy Spirit. So take heed to the instructions at the end of this scripture and "be thankful...appreciative, giving praise to God always." Maintain a thankful, grateful heart. You'll find it much easier to hear the "umpire of Peace" when He makes a call. In the Name Of Jesus. Amen.

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Rev. 1:8). Make His Word the Last Word. Jesus is the beginning and the ending. He is the Almighty. When he told us that in the Book of Revelation, He wasn't just giving us a general piece of information about Himself. He was giving up a powerful truth we can apply now today! Let me show you how. He said He is the beginning. So no matter what challenge or situation you may be facing right now, you need to start with Him. John 1:1 says Jesus is the Word. That means, if you're going to start with Jesus, you're going to start with the Word. Don't do anything until you find out what the Word has to say about it. Then, stay on the Word. As Colossians 1:23 says, "Continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard." Continue in the faith. The only way the devil can defeat you is to pressure you into throwing away the Word. Everything he does, every challenge he brings you is intended to make you doubt the Word of God. So don't let go of the Word of God, no matter what may happen. Settle it with God in prayer and stay with it forever. It is written! Then end with the Word......................................................................................................

Jesus said he was the first and the last. That means the word of your doctor is not the last word. Even the word of your pastor is not the last word. The Word of Jesus is the last Word. Remember this: You are now what the Word says you are. You can do what the Word says you can do. And you can have what the Word says you can have. Begin to say it loud in faith. Now shout the Victory. Yes, "now!" You don't have to wait to see the outcome to celebrate. You have Jesus' Word on the matter, so you know beyond any doubt that your breakthrough is coming. Once you've settled yourself on Him, you can be assured that He will have the Last Word! In Jesus Name. Amen.

"And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance......That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth.....and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his Name there." (Deut. 26:1,2). Tithe With Joy. Tithing. Most Christians aren't very excited about it. But they should be--and they would be if they understood how to do it properly. Scriptural tithing stirs up faith. It activates the power of God in our lives when we do it in gratitude and joy, expecting our needs to met abundantly. In Deuteronomy 26:8-9, God told the Israelites exactly what to say when they brought their tithes. He instructed them to acknowledge the fact that He had brought them out of bondage of Egypt and to say: The Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. What does that have to do with you and me? God has done the same thing for us! He's brought us out of a life of bondage and poverty into a life that flows with the abundance of God. So when you bring your tithe to the Lord, follow the example set by the Israelites. Make it a time of rejoicing. Make it a time of realizing anew the wonderful things Jesus Christ has done for you. Thank Him for delivering you from a land of darkness and scarcity and bringing you into His promised land of plenty. Thank Him that it is a land of mercy, a land of joy, a land of peace and a land of prosperity. Tithe in faith, expecting the rich blessings of that land to be mulitiplied to you. You may soon find it to be one of the most exciting things you can do. In the precious Name of Jesus. Amen.

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." (Matt. 5:4). Called to Intercession. Do you know what Jesus was really talking about when He said those words? He was talking about the mourning of the Intercessor. He was teaching about the comfort that comes to the Intercessor when he is assured by the Holy Spirit that he has "prayed through." To "pray through" means "to break through the barriers that have stopped the work of God in the lives of others." It means using your spiritual armor to push back the forces of darkness that surround them. There's a desparate need for believers who are willing to do that today. There's a need for Intercessors who will go before God and reach out for His mercy and compassion for the sinner, for the sick, and for this downcast world. There's a need for prayer warriors who will stick with it until they have the assurance inside, in their spirits, that every barrier is broken and every area of bondage has been abolished. God is looking for Intercessors like that--and there are certain things that won't happen on this earth until He finds them. There are blessings and moves of God that won't come until someone gives birth to those things by prayer. Even the Lord Jesus Himself was ushered into the earth by Intercession................................................................................................................

Remember Simeon and Anna? They were both Intercessors, prayer warriors of God. They'd spent years in spiritual mourning, praying for the Messiah to come. But when they were done, they experienced the comfort of the Holy Spirit. For when they saw Jesus as a tiny baby in the temple, they recognized Him and rejoiced. If you're wondering if you're one of those who's been called to Intercession, then you probably are. God is calling believers everywhere to experience that unique kind of mourning that only the Intercessor knows. He's calling you to lay down your life for others through prayer. Somewhere in the world, someone needs you to pray them through. Spend some time on your knees today. In the glorious Name of Jesus. Amen.

"Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." (Matt. 7:7). You Can Open That Door. How long has it been since you were backed into a corner, hemmed by a seemingly insurmountable problem? Some spend years trying to work their way out of financial binds only to end up more bound by debt then ever. Others work doggedly on marriages that despite their best efforts deteriorate from year to year. Still others fight battles against fear or depression, drug addiction or disease. Deep within our hearts, each of us knows there must be an answer to the problem we face. But often it seems to be out of reach, hidden behind a door that's tightly against us. What I want you to know today, however, is this: WE CAN OPEN THAT DOOR! Jesus Himself has given us the keys. Right now you may be facing a situation that looks utterly hopeless, but God has a key right full of keys that will unlock "any" situation. He has the keys that open the doors for you spiritually. No matter how hard the devil tries to trap you, if you'll get hold of the right key, you can find your way out. God's Word is full of keys of Kingdom principles--keys to bind the devils operations and keys to loose yourself from his snares. God has a key that will unravel any knot that the devil can tie. He also has a key that will lock up the devil's operation so tightly that he won't be able to move. Remember this: There's no situation so dark and so cleverly designed by the forces of darkness that there is not a Kingdom key that will unlock it with Kingdom Power............................................................................................................

There "is" an answer to your situation. So keep digging for it. If you've been digging in the Word of God in one spot and haven't found your answer, then look at another chapter, a different verse. Keep digging until you find the key. Keep knocking at every door until you find the one that opens. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Halleluja  

God Bless you, J ds revenge, and be encouraged. Minister Moseley.

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." (Matt. 5:11-12). Welcome to the Big League. When persecution comes don't sit around whining about it. Don't waste your time feeling sorry for yourself. Despite what you may think, that persecution hasn't come because the devil gets his kicks out of picking on you. It comes because you've become a threat to him. It comes because you've put the Word in your heart, and he knows that if he doesn't get it out, you're going to cause him more trouble than he can handle. So rejoice! Heavy duty persecution means you've made it to the Big League. It means the devil is taking you so seriously that he's sending in his best players in an effort to get you out of the game. The players that make it to the Superbowl don't look for some way out of it, do they? They don't say, "Boy, I sure wish I didn't have to be in that Superbowl game. Those guys are the biggest, meanest players in the country. Maybe I'll get sick and I want have to play." No! They relish the opportunity. "Let me at 'em," they say. "I've worked all my life to get here and now I'm going to prove I'm the best!" That's how you should be when the devil challenges you. You should accept that challenge with joy, knowing you're going to come out a winner. After all, your God is sufficient to see you through. He never stops and wonders if He's going to have enough resources to get you over your problems this time. He knows He can beat anything the devil brings against you. So, when persecution comes, trust Him and rejoice, knowing that you've made it to the Big Leagues! In Jesus Name. Amen.
