"For where envying and stife is, there is confusion and every evil work." (James 3:16). Peace at Home. Have you ever notices that the easiest place to remain self-centered is at home? There's an incentive to be lovely with others, but with your famlly you are tempted to allow yourself more selfish privileges as if it didn't count there. Before I was a Christian, I was more courteous and nicer to friends that to my own family. I was more demanding and less forgiving with those dearest to me than with anyone else. But after I made Jesus Lord of my life, I realized all that had to change. I began to learn through the Word how important harmony is within our family. I learned that if we wanted the Power of Agreement (See Matt. 18:19) to work in our lives, we could not allow strife in our home. Strife drops the shield of faith, stops prayer results, and invites Satan and his cohorts into your midst. Discord is deadly. It paralyzes the Power of God in your life. Don't allow the enemy to stop you at your own front door by allowing strife in your home. If you do. you'll be no threat to him anywhere else. Put the Power of Harmaony to work in your family. Do it today. In Jesus Name. Amen.

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God." (Deut. 28:2). His Extravagant Love. Some people have very low expectations of what God will provide for them materially. They trust Him to feed and clothe them, but they don't trust Him to feed and clothe them very "well!" Somehow they've gotten the idea that God is an old miser who will do little more that put rags on their backs and beans on their tables. But that's not what Jesus told us. He said in Matthew 6 that God would clothe us better than He clothed Solomon. That one statement alone proves that God wants to do more than just meet our basic needs. He wants to bless us abundantly. I know from personal experience. A few years ago I came home and found two expensive automobiles parked in my driveway, for example. They'd been given to me to use by men who'd been blessed by the Lord through my ministry. I was baffled. "Lord," I said, "I didn't "need" these cars. I hadn't asked You for them and I wasn't believing for them. What are they doing here?" Then the Lord spoke up on the inside of me. "Have you ever read the scripture in Deut. that says blessings shall come on and overtake those who hearken to My voice?" "Yes," I answered. "Well son," He said, "you've just been overtaken." Am I saying God gave me those expensive cars just so I could enjoy them? "Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying." First Timothy 6:17 says, "He giveth us richly all things to enjoy." God is a loving Father. He gets great pleasure from blessing His children. He's Extravagant where we're concerned. But don't let that worry you. He can afford it. Hearken to His voice and it won't be long before His blessings will be overtaking you also. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen.

"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." (Galations 5:16). He Will Lead You. Walking in the Spirit. That's the key to overcoming the flesh. If you follow the promptings of the Spirit of God within you, you won't be dominated by the pressure your flesh tries to put on you. As you listen to the written Word and the Holy Spirit telling you what to do, you'll constantly be making little adjustements in your life according to what He says. And those little adustments will keep darknesss from overtaking you. You see, God knows just what you need. He can look ahead in your life and see the traps and pressures the devil is laying for you. So follow the Holy Spirit's leading and He will maneuver you safely around them to Victory. In the Name of Jesus. Amen.
