(Hebrews 4:11) “Let us LABOUR therefore to ENTER into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.” Unbelief stops us from resting in the finished works of Jesus. Wrong Desires stands between us and that rest; we must actively work to resist the temptations and gratifications...
(2 Corinthians 3:18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”. When we’ve been born again, the Holy Spirit accepts responsibility for our transformation....
(Psalm 37:4)“Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart”. In this context, to “delight” is to come to know God and what He has done, and to receive Him. A relationship with Him changes our desires to the point where we want...
(Romans 10:17 NLT) “So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” The more we hear the Gospel of Grace preached and taught, the more our faith increases. Only the Word of God has the power to change us from the inside out. Blessings Pastor Gary

(Romans 8:14). “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. BEING children of God gives us authority on every level and in every realm, including the emotional realm. When we’re led by the Spirit, we’re empowered to maintain emotional control in...
(Hebrews 4:12 AMPC)For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the...
(Romans 2:4 NKJV) “Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” Repentance does not mean simply apologizing, but instead undergoing a change of mind and heart that produces changed behavior. An encounter with God...
Be Strong. Your logical mind will always try to talk you out of obeying God! (2 Timothy 2:13) “…if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.” Even in our weakest moments when our faith falters, Jesus’ faithfulness toward us always stays strong. We can bounce from one...
