Lk.2:7 – And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. The most shocking of all mysteries, that the Lord became a human baby, is cloaked in the business of our holidays. It is …
Mk.5:3-6 – He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him. …
Eph.1:14 – Amp. – That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it—to the praise of His glory.

Present yourself unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. Rom. 6:13 You can never present your old life to Christ, He has no use for it. You must see yourself as dead to sin, crucified with Christ, and alive in Him before we have anything to …

For some it will …
Psa. 40:3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD. I was shocked by the suddenness and the dramatic degree of the change I experienced in the summer of 1973. Christ came into my life and …
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Sometimes the truth is as hard to see as the nose on our face. Recently, I came face to face with one of these noses. It was so simple I had somehow …
CREATED FROM NOTHING Psa. 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Man is capable of some pretty horrible stuff.
