The Cross of Christ

  Kenneth W. Hagin One of the paramount questions believers ask today is not whether God is able to heal, but whether He is willing to heal. Is it always God's will to heal? You can know for sure. When we want to understand God's will about a subject, we go to God's Word. God's Word is God's will. And the Bible tells us that healing is the will of God. The Bible also tells us, "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven" (Ps. 119: 89) and "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my [Jesus'] words shall not pass away" (Luke 21:33). Healing is a forever-settled subject because God's Word is forever settled! God Took Care of Sin and Sickness Most of us understand that God dealt with the sin problem of humanity by sending His Son Jesus to be a Sacrifice and a Substitute for us. Isaiah 53:5 says, "He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities. . . ." First Peter 2:24 says, "Who his own self bare...

  Faith to Faith - Daily Devotional (Date: August 8, 2024) Keep Paddling Upstream (Kenneth Copeland) "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips." (Psalm 141:3) Do you really believe that you need to watch over your mouth? Most believers don't. You can tell that just by listening to their conversations. They profess, for example, to be trusting God concerning their health. But you're likely to hear them say something like this: "I'm just sure I'm going to get the flu. I get it every year. I'll be sicker than a dog too, you'll see...." Do people like that have what they say? Oh yes! Check with them a few weeks later and they'll be quick to tell you that they got just as sick as they said they'd be. But, odds are, if you try to tell them there's any connection between the words they spoke and the illness they suffered, they'll look at you as if you were out of your mind. Of course, if they'd dig into the...

(November 27, 2021) Verse of the Day “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord shew his face to thee, and have mercy on thee. The Lord turn his countenance to thee, and give thee peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26 DRC1752)

Victory comes one day at a time. Get a word of encouragement…a word of inspiration…a word of faith every day of the year. Imitate the Faithful (Kenneth Copeland )  "Remember your leaders and superiors in authority, [for it was they] who brought to you the Word of God. Observe attentively and consider their manner of living...and imitate their faith." (Hebrews 13:7) The Amplified Bible) Apart from the Word of God itself and prayer, nothing can do more for you than watching and imitating a real man of faith. I found that out in a big way many years ago when I was a student at Oral Roberts University. As co-pilot on the airplane that transported him and his staff to his healing meetings, I had the opportunity to study Oral Roberts up close. I followed him around. I heard him preach. I watched him lay hands on the sick. I'll never forget the day I had the opportunity to put some of what I'd learned from him into action. I'd just been to a few of his meetings. Spirit...

Be Filled Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. — COLOSSIANS 3:16,17 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. — 1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 Notice how yesterday’s scripture and today’s scripture are very similar. A song in the heart and the giving of thanks simply go hand-in-hand. And if you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will experience this praise and this thanksgiving. If you don’t, then you’re simply not filled with the Spirit. Be filled! (See John 7:37-39, 14:16,17; Acts 1:4,5, 2:4, 8:14-17, 10:44-46, 19:1-3,6.) Then you’ll have a spirit of praise and a spirit of thanksgiving. Confession: I let the word of Christ dwell in me richly. I benefit from teaching and...

Thank-Filled: For Promises NOVEMBER 27, 2021 I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you. Isaiah 46:4, NIV Recommended Reading: Isaiah 41:1-4 “When I was going through COVID,” said Joni Eareckson Tada, “the hardest part was having to stay in bed…. I wanted to be sitting up in my wheelchair so that I could breathe more easily. It was risky for me to be in bed because of my frail lungs. But the fact was, Ken was sicker than I was, and finding caregivers was nearly impossible…. So for a few days, I stayed in bed. And there, I depended on a different ‘helper,’ as it were. At night in bed and in the dark, God reminded me of his words in Isaiah chapter 46…. ‘I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.’ Wow. I clung to that promise.”[1] No matter what you may face, there’s always a promise in the Bible on which to cling. The Bible contains thousands of promises, each one for a sp...
