There are three classes of people: those who have been in the desert, those still in the desert, and those who have your day coming in the desert ! If you have been there, you need no explanation from me. If you haven’t been there, no words of mine will explain it to you. It is not a popular topic, and God’s people perish for lack of knowledge. Being “ on the backside of the desert ” is not a self-inflicted inconvenience or a detour because of our spiritual slackness. It is one of God’s major destinations for those He wants to take deeper. He is deliberate in leading us into the desert to speak tenderly to us and to make our trouble a gateway of hope. God says, “ Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and sp eak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope” ( Hosea 2:14-15 ). There we give ourselves to Him in a new way, and He affirms to us that we are bound to Him for...

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. – 1 Peter 1:23 One of the attributes of God’s word is that it is imperishable, that is, it cannot be destroyed. People may criticize the Scripture. They may react violently to what is written in the Bible. But they can’t get rid of it. Even if people turn away from the ways of God, the seed of God’s truth in their heart can’t be uprooted. For those who have family or friends who have heard the Scripture but have walked away, take courage. The very nature of God’s word is embedded in their soul as a reminder (and an oasis) of His faithfulness.

YOU PUT THE DEVIL OUT, BUT DID YOU LET HIM LEAVE HIS BAGS? This is powerful! You got out of a bad relationship because it was bad, but you are still resentful and angry (you let the devil leave his bags) You got out of financial debt, but you still can't control the desire to spend on frivolous things (you let the devil leave his bags) You got out of a bad habit or addiction, but you still long to try it just one more time (you let the devil leave his bags) You said, I forgive you, but you can't seem to forget and have peace with that person (you let the devil leave his bags) You told your unequally yoked mate that it was over, but you still continue to call (you let the devil leave his bags) You got out of that horribly oppressive job, but you are still trying to sabotage the company after you've left (y ou let the devil leave his bags) You cut off the affair with that married man/woman, but you still lust after him/her (you let the devil leav...

I am the way the truth and the life. John 14:6 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. My Father's house has plenty of room; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:1-6

Make knowledge of the Scripture your love.

"I believe with all my heart that these are the days Jesus spoke of when He said, 'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come' (Matthew 24:14). I thank God that He has anointed us for this very purpose in these latter days: to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and hurting world - through our Breakthrough ministry together - as a witness to all the nations! And it is happening - with life-changing power! Our TV broadcast is now seen in the Middle East and in Muslim strongholds of Africa. Across the USA, it proclaims the truth of God's Word. And our Bridge of Hope ministry displays His love in practical ways to the poor and needy."

"Mark 14:61-63 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, 'Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus. 'And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.' The high priest tore his clothes. 'Why do we need any more witnesses?' he asked."
