This morning I was enjoying the portion in Philippians 2:9-11, 9. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10. That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11. And every […]
God is willing to do many things, but He waits for our cooperation, our prayer
There are some very encouraging verses in the Bible like “all things that you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and you will have them”(Mark 11:24) and “… that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you” (John 15:16). These and many other verses (John 14:13, 15:7, 16:24) show […]
spending time with the Lord to have His desire and thoughts imprinted into us
A genuine man of prayer – a genuine Christian – is not only one who spends time with the Lord every day, but also one who allows the Lord to mingle His desire and His thought with his own. We need to allow God to infuse us with Himself, to mingle Himself with us, in […]

the surpassing greatness of His power towards us who believe

The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19. And what is the surpassing […]
All that Christ has attained and obtained is to the church!
When we were regenerated, we became members of the Body of Christ – where Christ is the Head and we, the believers in Christ, are the many members of the Body. Just like in a human body, whatever the head does/has/attains unto, it is the same for the body (of the head). If the head […]
we were seated with Christ in the heavenlies – we can live a heavenly life on earth!
This morning I enjoyed being reminded what our position is in our salvation – when we were saved, we not only received the divine life into us, but we also were raised together with Christ (Col. 3:1-2) and seated with Him in the heavenlies (Eph. 2:5-6)! Actually, even “when we were dead in offenses, God made […]
