Let us continue with our list of guidelines from the previous time: 1. Listen to Christian music.

Music also aids in praise […]
11. Growing in your new creation – 2
Let us continue with our guidelines from last week on how to grow in our new creation and lead a flourishing life: Speak life-giving words over yourself every day out loud. Your old sinful nature needs to hear it and give way to the life-changing truths within you. I have found this to really work. […]
10. Growing in your new creation – 1

9. The fruit of the Spirit manifesting in the present moment
We should follow the “easy route” and find love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in the presence of God. Through spending time in God’s presence in the present moment, His good work will produce fruit in our lives. The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) will reach maturity if we allow […]
8. One of the biggest secrets of living in the new
In order to live in the new, we need to reprogram our minds. Our minds should be renewed by allowing only godly thoughts to enter and, in turn, restricting the enemy’s wrong thinking. If only godly thoughts are allowed to enter in, it will build us up and help us to live supernaturally, above the […]
7. We are the bride of Christ
We are all being prepared for the most wonderful wedding ceremony the world has ever seen. “Let us be glad and rejoice and honor Him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and His bride has prepared herself. She is permitted to wear the finest white linen” (Revelation 19:7-8). We […]
6. We are citizens of Heaven as well as priests
We are all citizens of heaven: “We are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives” (Philippians 3:20). I have read this verse a number of times, but it was only recently that I truly realized the significance of it. We are citizens of heaven, which means that legally we are the rightful heirs. […]
5. We have the victory and His Spirit
We have overwhelming victory: “Overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us” (Romans 8:37). “For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory” (1 John 5:4). The victory Jesus won on the cross is ours too. We have overwhelming victory over every circumstance because we don’t belong […]
4. We have God’s power and share in His inheritance
We have God’s power: “I pray that you begin to understand the incredible greatness of His power for us who believe Him” (Ephesians 1:19). “We too are weak, but we live in Him and have God’s power” (2 Corinthians 13:4). We have God’s power . . . just think about it for a minute. God’s […]
3.We are part of God’s family and will share in His glory
“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God” (1 John 5:1). “Now you are no longer a slave, but God’s own child” (Galatians 4:7). We were “created” anew as His child. God is now our Father. He will look after us from now on. He has wonderful dreams and visions […]
2. You are truly new
The wonderful Word of God tells us that we are born again the moment we acknowledge that we are sinners and we accept Jesus Christ into our lives as our personal Savior. A physical new person is created inside of us and born as a child of God. The creation of this new person inside […]
1. We are part of His bride and He is coming soon
In heaven, the Lord sat majestically on His royal-embedded, golden throne. In His right hand, He had an ancient scroll sealed with seven seals. The scroll contained the world’s, and the bride’s future. All the events of the world still to come were predicted in this scroll. All of heaven stared intently at the Lord, […]
117. New Year 2023
2023. Wow, time has flown. I actually cannot believe that I am writing a message concerning 2023. It feels like yesterday that I wrote about 2022. And this just reminded me that we must make most of our time. We shouldn’t take time for granted, but use every opportunity that we have to further the […]
116. Christmas 2022
Twice in the Bible we read that Holy Spirit hovered over water. The first time was right at the beginning of the Bible before Creation: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of […]
40. Similarities between Jesus and Joseph
Thank you for journeying with me through the life of Joseph. I hope you have learned as much as I did and I sincerely hope that you have been inspired by his life as much as I have. He was truly an extraordinary man. And what made him so extraordinary was his unfailing trust in […]
39. You are part of His puzzle
Joseph was an amazing person. His life started out quite good. He had a father and mother who adored him and gave him everything that he could ever desire. He was even favored above his brothers and got a beautiful coat. He didn’t work as hard as they did, for his father was scared that […]
38. All things will work together for good
Last week we learned that God has forgiven all our sins, past, present and future. He is not holding a grudge; Jesus has been punished in our place. He has taken all our sins on Him so that we can be the righteousness of God in Christ. He has freed us from the bondage to […]
37. God has forgiven you
Last time we learned that God wants to use us right there where we are. He wants to use us to make a difference in people’s lives all around us. He wants us to build His Kingdom right there where we are and show His love to all the people around us. We are His […]
36. God wants to use you
Last week we learned that it would be a good idea to bless our children on a regular basis. Our words carry power and it would be wonderful if our words carried the promises of God over their lives. When we pray to God He will lead us what to pray and say over their […]
35. Bless your children
Last week we were reminded that all of God’s promises are yes and amen in Jesus who fulfilled it all for us. All of His promises are therefore ours for the taking. We can truly claim it for ourselves. We should search out the promises that apply to our situation and then we should speak […]
