When receiving by faith, there are certain keys to success which we can follow along the way. What begins in our fellowship with the Father must be completed by a life of faith in God. Even as we face the battle of the "time lapse," we must continue to put our trust and faith in the God who is faithful!

God never intended for man to die. Adam opened deaths door. Though God wants to satisfy us with long life, His will is not automatically done in our lives. Our confession of faith based on the Blood of Jesus releases power that enables us to live victorious lives and overcome every work of the enemy.

Praises shouldn’t be difficult to understand. We praise our children for their achievements and for doing right. Employees are praised for working hard. God, above all, is to be praised by His people for Who He is and what He has done. Praise releases power that defeats the enemy!

Fulfilling our purpose requires passion. Purpose has to do with our head; passion has to do with the heart. No matter the purpose, it’s passion that separates success from failure.

Everyone has a destiny - a predetermined future that leads to a destination. A destination is the goal of a journey, a destiny is the trip along the way. God has His plans for our destiny, the devil has his plans. It is our faith that can change our destiny to line up with God’s plans.

The resurrection is what distinguishes Christianity from all world religions. Jesus lived, died, and rose from the dead- who is alive for evermore. The body is not a prison for the soul, but the temple of the living God, purchased by the Blood of Jesus, and will one day be raised up glorified.

Why call it Good Friday? It was the darkest day in human history. The innocent Savior of the world was betrayed, arrested, falsely accused, judged, beaten, publicly shamed, and crucified. This was all part of God’s constructive plan for man’s eternal salvation.

The week before the crowds cried out, "Crucify him!" they were shouting "Hosanna!" We can learn from the fickle faith of the Palm Sunday crowd. Peace with God must be on His terms. So where are we in the crowd? Who do we see Jesus as?

All of creation was made by the unseen. It was the Word of God spoken and the work of the Holy Spirit of God which caused the formation of the world. Because every created thing responds to the sound of God’s Word, we can expect healing to manifest by commanding our situations to line up with the Word.

When one does not fear God, there’s no motivation to listen to God. Fearing and obeying God are closely connected. Our goal is to grow in the fear of God as Job, on whom God bragged.
