"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John 13:34
These were some of the final words Jesus shared with His disciples before going to the cross. They are not suggestions. They are not optional. They are commands from the Savior Himself. Yet, in our time, this commandment is often drowned out by noise, by politics, by fear, and by pride—especially among those who call themselves His followers.

The word restoration has several meanings in the Greek language. It means bringing back to a former or normal, balanced condition. Restoration also means recovery, to establish again, to rehabilitate, or to improve, and it means to compensate for. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." You see, what God wants to do with us is something like restoring antique furniture. I love antique furniture and have quite a few pieces, some over 200 years old.
Have you ever felt like your soul just needed a good washing? How many times I've felt that way. If you've ever felt this way, don't think it is unusual. We are in this world but not of it. Sometimes there are things that, if we are not discerning, we open the door to. It pays to seek the Lord at all times and ask the question… Why am I not experiencing God's presence right now? When you know it is His will for you to live in that place and also know that Jesus is your greatest example — as He lived in the absolute reality of God's presence continually.
When I seek the LORD, I try to seek His face and not His hand — I seek to know His will and to have His Presence. If you seek Him first and the needs of His Kingdom, all your own needs will be met, but some get out of balance with this and do things out of presumption instead of by His leading. Many put their ministry ahead of The LORD's and come at a loss. Other things creep in like lust for fame, fortune, and the pride of life, which brings a fall.
Have you ever felt stagnant or at a standstill in your life? Have you ever felt as if you were meant for more, but did not know how to attain it? In this article, I would like to discuss the concept of feeding the spirit while starving the flesh. In order to advance in God, it is essential that we are aware of what we are feeding our spirit on a daily basis. It is okay to watch television. Although you should have fun and enjoy yourself, it should not take away time to feed your spirit. Our spirits need to be fed on a daily basis with the word of God, encouragement toward activities that are aligned with our purpose, and an environment conducive to productivity if we are to move leaps and bounds in the spirit realm and have a significant impact in the Kingdom.
We live in a time of global shaking. What once felt secure is now cracking beneath our feet. The middle class—long seen as the backbone of economic stability—is being stretched to its limits. Wages are stagnant. Inflation has risen. Investments are volatile. And the old formulas for success no longer hold. For many, the dream is slipping away, and it feels like the floor is falling out. Some commentators have sounded the alarm: "The middle class is becoming the new poor." And it's not just a dramatic soundbite. It's the lived reality for many.
Have you ever seen someone healed? Do you need healing in your own body? In this blog, I'll be talking about the gift of healing. It's a gift that is available to us through the power of the Holy Spirit. There's nothing you need to do to earn it: it's free! Because of Jesus' sacrifice for us, we can experience healing in our bodies. It even says in the Bible that by His stripes we are healed! (Isaiah 53:5)
Ever found yourself swirling in a sea of self-doubt? After teaching for more than 40 years, I can safely say that countless women struggle with feelings of worthlessness and a lack of confidence. This was certainly true for me. But over time, God showed me how to put my confidence in Him. Let's examine together some ways you can begin to grow in your confidence. I believe that as you seek the Lord and apply these seven keys to your life, you too will begin experiencing the boldness and confidence God put inside you.
When you and I became children of God, we began to partner with Him to bring heaven to earth. Jesus even instructs us on how to pray for God's presence to reign on earth: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:10). How does His kingdom come to earth? His will becomes reality if we allow Him to work through us. We become carriers of His glory. How do we become a glory carrier?
For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands, so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. Psalm 91:11-12 NLT If you look carefully at the Scriptures that Satan used to try to get our Lord Jesus to throw Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple, you will find that it has nothing to do with endangering yourself to test God's protection. Psalm 91:11–12 is not encouraging you to throw yourself in harm's way. It is saying that as you go about the course of your daily life, "in all your ways" the Lord will protect you. The Hebrew word for "ways" in verse 11 shows this clearly—it is the word derek, which means path, road, or journey.
