The Word of God

In a world driven by movement, progress, and constant noise, the word abide feels almost foreign. Yet, it is one of the most powerful principles in the life of a believer. To abide is to remain, to dwell, to stay connected—and Jesus emphasized this truth so deeply that He tied it directly to fruitfulness, prayer, and eternal life itself. The Call to Abide In John 15:4–5 (KJV), Jesus said, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” Here lies the foundation of all spiritual growth—the principle of abiding. Jesus doesn’t invite us to visit Him occasionally in prayer or to acknowledge Him in times of need. He calls us to abide in Him continually. Just as a branch cannot live apart from the vine, so too can we not flourish apart from Christ. ...

One of the greatest challenges believers face today is not the power of darkness, but forgetting who we are in Christ Jesus . Many Christians live defeated, fearful, or uncertain—not because God has failed them, but because they have not yet fully discovered their identity in Him. When you know who you are in Christ, the way you see yourself, your circumstances, and your future changes completely. You stop living as a slave to fear and start walking as a child of the Most High God. 1. You Are Chosen and Loved Before the foundations of the world, God already knew you and called you by name. Ephesians 1:4–5 (KJV) says: “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.” You are not an accident or an afterthought—you are divinely chosen. When you understand this truth, re...

In a world filled with distractions, pressures, and hidden battles, many believers wait for someone else to help them break free. But what if God is calling you to rise up and become your own deliverance minister —not by your own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit living inside you? Understanding Deliverance Deliverance is not a dramatic event reserved for a select few who move in power—it is the daily walk of every believer. Jesus said in Luke 10:19 (KJV), “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Deliverance begins with recognizing who you are in Christ. You are not a victim of the devil’s schemes; you are a victor through the finished work of the cross. When you understand your authority as a child of God, you stop waiting for others to cast out your giants—you start confronting them in the name of Jesus. The Heart of Self-Deliverance Becoming your own deli...

  “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” — Philippians 3:10 Many believers long to know the power of Christ’s resurrection, yet few understand that true intimacy with Him also includes the fellowship of His sufferings . This is not about seeking pain — it is about sharing His heart , His burden , and His love for a lost and broken world. 💔 1. What Does It Mean to Share His Sufferings? When Paul wrote these words, he wasn’t asking to experience physical crucifixion — Jesus already paid that price once for all (1 Peter 3:18). Paul desired to walk so closely with Christ that he could feel what the Lord feels — to be moved by His compassion, to grieve over sin as He does, and to love people enough to intercede for them. This is not a fellowship of torment, but of love and holiness . It is the Spirit of God impressing on our hearts the same sorrow Jesus carried when He wept over Jeru...

That was last week — and ever since then, I’ve felt a confidence I hadn’t known before. No more confusion, just clarity. There are moments when God speaks so clearly that every doubt fades away. Recently, the Lord sent His prophet to deliver a word that brought deep peace to my heart — a word that confirmed what He had already been stirring within me. It wasn’t about me; it was about His faithfulness. Through that prophetic word, God reminded me that He still speaks to His children and that His guidance never wavers. It gave me boldness — not in myself, but in knowing that the Lord truly leads those who desire to walk in obedience. Many believers wrestle with the same question I once had: “Am I really hearing from God?” It can feel confusing when we’re trying to discern His voice amid our own thoughts and emotions. But Scripture promises us, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). That promise isn’t for a select few — it’s for all who belong to Him...

In a world that hungers for relief, restoration, and healing, not every source of “miracle power” comes from God. The Bible warns that in the last days, the enemy will use false signs and counterfeit healings to deceive many, to glorify man rather than Christ, and to prepare hearts for the Antichrist system . Let’s look at what the Word of God says. 1️⃣ False Miracles and Deceptive Healings “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” — Matthew 24:24 Jesus warned that supernatural demonstrations will increase — but not all will be from Heaven. Some “healing” and “energy” manifestations are lying wonders meant to entrap souls . “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” — 2 Thessalonians 2:9 The enemy mimics the miraculous to divert worship away from Christ . His goal is not restoration but dec...

 In the book of Isaiah, we find two sobering declarations from God: “And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.” (Isaiah 59:16, KJV) “And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.” (Isaiah 63:5, KJV) These verses paint a vivid picture: God looked across humanity and found no one able to stand in the gap, no one righteous enough to bring true salvation, no one strong enough to deliver His people. The prophets, priests, and kings had all fallen short. Humanity was helpless, unable to intercede for itself. So what did God do? He acted. His own arm brought salvation . The Divine Dilemma Sin had separated man from God. Every attempt at righteousness was like “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). The law revealed the problem but could not cure it....

  Reflection John the Baptist knew his role was not to draw people to himself but to point them to Jesus. This is the heart of true discipleship and ministry — to make Christ the focus. When we try to hold on to our own recognition, comfort, or control, we risk blocking others from seeing Jesus clearly through us. To “decrease” doesn’t mean you lose your worth; it means surrendering pride, self-will, and the need for glory. As you step back, Christ steps forward. His love becomes more visible, His wisdom more evident, His Spirit more powerful in your life. Every day is an opportunity to ask: Am I living so that others see more of Jesus and less of me? Prayer Abba Father, in the name of Jesus, I humble myself before You today. Teach me to step aside from pride, ego, and selfish ambition, so that Christ may shine through me. May my words, actions, and even my silence point people to Jesus and not to myself. Let His love, His power, and His glory increase in every part of my li...

  “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” Here’s the meaning, broken down: 1. Promise of a Coming Prophet God tells Moses that He will raise up a prophet for Israel “from among their brethren.” This shows the prophet would come from Israel itself, not from another nation. The phrase “like unto thee” means he would be similar to Moses—someone with unique authority, intimate fellowship with God, and a role in delivering His Word to the people. 2. Authority and Words of God The verse emphasizes that this prophet would not speak his own words, but God’s very words would be put into his mouth. His role would be to declare only what God commands—nothing less, nothing more. This highlights divine authority and complete obedience. 3. Immediate and Ultimate Fulfillment Immediate sense : After Moses, God raised up prophets in Israel (like Samuel, Isa...

📖 Mark 3:28–29 (KJV): “Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.” “All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men” Jesus opens with a sweeping promise — forgiveness is available for all sins. God’s mercy is greater than our failures when we repent. 📖 Isaiah 1:18 (KJV): “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” 👉 Meaning: God’s grace covers every kind of sin, no matter how deep. “And blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme” Even words spoken against God can be forgiven. Peter denied Jesus with his lips, yet was restored. 📖 1 Timothy 1:13 (KJV): “Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtai...

  📖 Mark 3:27 (KJV): “No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.” “No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods” The “strong man” represents Satan, who guards his possessions (souls under bondage). No ordinary man can rob him — his power is too great. 📖 Luke 11:21 (KJV): “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace.” 👉 Meaning: On our own, we cannot overcome spiritual bondage. “Except he will first bind the strong man” Jesus declares His authority — He is the One who binds Satan. Deliverance comes only by Christ’s power, not human strength. 📖 Colossians 2:15 (KJV): “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” 👉 Meaning: At the cross, Jesus disarmed Satan’s power, binding him once for all. “And then he will spoil his house.” Once the strong man i...

  📖 Mark 3:24–25 (KJV): “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.” A kingdom torn by internal strife will collapse. Jesus shows the absurdity of claiming Satan is working against himself. 📖 Daniel 2:44 (KJV): “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.” 👉 Meaning: Earthly kingdoms fall when divided, but God’s kingdom stands forever. “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” Division destroys not only kingdoms, but also households. Families, communities, and churches fall apart when torn by strife. 📖 Psalm 133:1 (KJV): “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is ...

  📖 Mark 3:23 (KJV): “And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?” “And he called them unto him” Jesus does not ignore His critics; He draws them close to confront their false reasoning. He engages with patience and wisdom, even toward His accusers. 📖 Isaiah 1:18 (KJV): “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” 👉 Meaning: God invites even the doubters to hear truth and be corrected. “And said unto them in parables” Jesus uses simple, earthly comparisons to reveal deep spiritual truths. Parables expose the foolishness of unbelief while opening truth to the humble. 📖 Matthew 13:35 (KJV): “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” 👉 M...

  📖 Mark 3:5 (KJV): “And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.” “When he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts” Jesus’ anger was holy — directed at the stubborn unbelief of the Pharisees. His grief shows His heart of compassion; their hardness broke Him more than the man’s hand. 📖 Ezekiel 36:26 (KJV): “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.” 👉 Meaning: Hardened hearts grieve Jesus — He desires hearts soft to God. “He saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand.” The command seems impossible — yet in obedience, the miracle happens. The man’s faith is shown not in words, but in stretching out the ver...

  📖 Mark 3:3–4 (KJV): “And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth. And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.” “And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.” Jesus brings the man out of the shadows into the center. The withered hand, a visible weakness, becomes the stage for God’s power. 📖 Isaiah 35:3–4 (KJV): “Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.” 👉 Meaning: Jesus does not hide brokenness; He brings it forward for healing. “Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil?” The Pharisees clung to legalism, but Jesus reveals the true heart of the Law. The Sabbath was made for rest and life, not restriction. 📖 Micah 6:8 (KJV)...

  📖 Mark 2:23–28 (KJV): “And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” “Have ye never read what David did…” Jesus reminds them of Scripture: David ate the consecrated bread when in need. Human need outweighed ceremonial regulation. 📖 1 Samuel 21:6 (KJV): “So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there bu...

  📖 Mark 2:21–22 (KJV): “No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.” “No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment” A new piece of cloth shrinks when washed, tearing away from the old fabric. Jesus is teaching that His gospel is not a patch to repair old religion. 📖 Galatians 2:21 (KJV): “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” 👉 Meaning: Christ doesn’t just fix the old ways — He brings a completely new covenant. “And no man putteth new wine into old bottles” In Jesus’ time, wine was stored in animal-skin wineskins. As new wine fermented, it expanded. Old wineskins, already stretched, would...

  📖 Mark 2:20 (KJV): “But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.” “But the days will come” Jesus looks ahead — a prophetic word about His coming death and departure. The joy of His presence will soon be met with sorrow and longing. 📖 John 16:20 (KJV): “Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.” 👉 Meaning: Times of mourning are real, but they are not permanent. “When the bridegroom shall be taken away from them” A foreshadowing of the cross — the violent “taking away” of Jesus. The disciples will feel the loss deeply, like friends losing their beloved bridegroom. 📖 Isaiah 53:8 (KJV): “He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken....
