Aug 31 - Put Your Spirit in Charge
“So too the (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer…but the Spirit Himself…pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.” (Romans 8:26)
Dear As long as you live on this earth, you’re going to be saddled with a weakness. What is it? The flesh and blood...

Aug 30 - Pure Spiritual Power
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
Dear So many believers think of the fruit of the Spirit as little more than a passive list of pleasant qualities that can help improve their personalities. But they’re far greater than that! They’re...

Aug 29 - You Hold the Key
“I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19)
Dear The Greek text of that scripture would literally read, “I give you the keys of the kingdom. Whatever you declare locked on earth is locked in heaven and...

Aug 28 - Abide in Jesus
“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered.” (John 15:6)
Dear If I were to ask you to make a list of a hundred things you need to do to please the Lord today, you could do it, couldn’t you? In fact, you probably have so many spiritual “do’s” and “don’ts” cluttering up your mind that you’d hardly know...

August 27, 2011 Not of This World
From Faith to Faith — Daily Devotional
Gloria Copeland
Whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
– 1 John 5:4
Years ago the devil started a rumor. He told a few Christians that as long as they lived in the world, they had to suffer as the world did. He told them they had to share the diseases and the defeat, the...

Aug 26 - Take the First Step
“The steps of a [good] man are directed and established of the Lord, when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].” (Psalm 37:23)
Dear God’s will is to lead you on a day-by-day basis. He’s given His Spirit to guide you every day. Most believers don’t know that. They expect God to reveal His complete will for their lives in one big...

Aug 25 - Choose Friends Wisely
”I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate(closely and habitually) with unchaste (impure) people.” (1 Corinthians 5:9)
Dear
The company you keep has such an influence on your spiritual life. Fellowshiping with godly people will help speed you on to victory, while fellowshiping with those who are ungodly will drag you down to defeat. That’s why the Bible has some...

Aug 24 - Tradition--A Killer!
“Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.” (Matthew 15:6)
Dear Cancer. Heart disease. Multiple sclerosis. When we think of killer diseases, those are the names that come to mind. But the truth is, there’s a far more deadly killer on the loose in the Church today. And it’s destroyed more lives than any of us can imagine. It’s...

Leaving the Low Life Behind
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. – Matthew 16:25
The high life…or the low life? God’s kind of life…or the world’s kind of life? You can’t have them both. It’s one or the other. You have to choose. You may try to put off that choice. You may try to hang on to the low life while...

Aug 22 - No Consolation Prize
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye maybe perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” (James 1:4)
Dear I talk a lot about faith. But there’s another force that goes along with it that’s just as important. It’s patience, the ability to stand fast on the Word of God even when your victory seems slow in coming. Patience is not automatic. It won’t...
