As Moses arms were raised in battle held up by his servants so Israel would win the fight,Jesus’s arms were raise in the ultimate battle held up by the nails so that all who trust in Him would win their fight.

There is no profit in skimming the Book of God. We must dig and mine the Word until we obtain the hidden treasures. The door of the Word can only be opened with the key of diligence. C.H. Spurgeon

Do nothing that you would not like to be doing when Jesus comes. 

Go no place where you would not like to be found when Jesus comes. 

Say nothing that you would not like to be saying when Jesus comes. 

Becoming more Christlike is the result of surrender to God. Romans 12:1-2 says that worship involves a total self dedication to God. We volunteer our bodies as “living sacrifices,” and our minds are renewed and transformed.

I think sometimes people confuse who they are with what their circumstances are. That’s not correct. Our circumstances do not define who we are. Difficulties and trials are just obstacles that we can and will overcome in Christ Jesus. When we trust Christ, He will turn our problems into a promotion.We are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus!

The kingdom of Heaven is like a man who found a treasure hidden in a field. And for the joy of it, sells all that he has and buys that field. The person has Jesus has everything! The person who does not have Jesus and has everything in this world, has nothing.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105God’s Word is like the sun, a heavenly light that guides us all through the day; and through the dangers of the night, a lamp to lead our way.  

“Let your light so shine before men that they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 It’s not about how “Christian” you look from the outside. It’s about your personal relationship with God on the inside that causes that heavenly light to shine from God’s true servants.

Unbelief hinders God’s power! Matthew 13:58 “Now He (Jesus) did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” As soon as we are willing to allow the Holy Spirit to have His way, we will find the great things will happen all the time.

2 Peter tells us; “To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:” This like precious faith that Peter was writing about is a gift that God is willing to give to all of us, and I believe God wants us to to receive it so that we may subdue kingdoms, work righteousness, and if need be, stop the mouths of lions(Hebrews 11:33). Faith is the true information highway needed to operate in heavenly power.
