We pray to the Father by the mechanism of the Holy Spirit, who helps us stay focused, brings order, guides us in all truth, and gives us the burden of what to pray for. It is not natural for us to pray; the Spirit makes intercession for us because we don’t know what to pray for or how to pray. We...
We pray to the Father through Christ, who opens the door to God for us as our High Priest. In the Old Testament, God appointed priests for men, but now the institution of the priesthood is done away with. We do not need a human to be our mediator because we have Christ. We have direct access to God through grace. God wants us to take our prayers boldly to His throne and come to ...
Christ taught us to address God as our Father when we pray. Through Christ, we have a new relationship with God; we have the kind of access that comes from being His children, partakers in the Sonship of Christ. We ...
Following the Apostle Paul’s instruction to “continue in prayer,” we begin our excursion by studying the prayers of the patriarchs through the Pentateuch. Analyzing how they prayed, what they prayed for, and how they responded when God answered their prayers helps us to understand how God deals with us when we pray. VF-2317 Colossians 4:2
Several words in the New Testament Greek reveal that God expects His children to have great faith and bold courage in these tumultuous times we’re living in. But He doesn’t expect us to have this courage on our own. He has actively equipped us through the inner might and inner workings of His Spir...
God builds His church through the work and activity of the Holy Spirit in us, not by human enterprise. Paul’s description of being crucified with Christ is an identification with Him by the power of the Resurrection. That power changes the believer from what they were to one in union with Christ. He gave His life for us. Read more
Meekness and temperance are part of the provisions that God has given us to overcome the flesh. Whether that’s keeping our tongue, our thoughts, our temper, or our anger under God’s control, God has made provision for it all. Since God’s Spirit is doing the work in us, we’re not “using” these tools...
The faith that’s spoken of in Galatians 5:22 is more than just exercising faith in response to hearing God’s Word, or the gift of faith that’s spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12. It’s an attribute of God, an added measure of faith which He deposits in us as part of His nature. When we stand on God’s statement of faith that He has ‘amened’ the building of His church, then we can expec...
The fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5 describes attributes of God in us. The fruit of gentleness is not a description of a weak Christian. The original Greek word is better translated as useful or profitable to God or our fellow man. When we yield to God, He will enable us and make us prof...
Don’t come into the body of Christ thinking you won’t have to suffer. Part of the equipment God has given us to accomplish His work on earth is longsuffering. When we get out of ourselves and look at longsuffering from God’s perspective, the effects teach u...
When we yield ourselves as surrendered vessels, He will give us peace. If you are still fighting God, or if you are struggling with worries and fear, recognize that He is in control and He has overcome the world. He is already working in us, and He has given us the tools to build the church. VF-245...
The joy that comes from God is completely separate and distinct from fleshly, carnal joy or happiness. It is not natural to us and we cannot will to have it. It’s a dimension of God’s nature that flows out of divine love, which He imparts to us by the vehicle of the Holy Spirit. It has multiple ...
There is a great chasm between natural love and the divine love of God imparted to us through the Holy Spirit. The love of God in us is a transformative power, that will accomplish His purpose for us if we trust in Him. VF-2454 1John 4

Part of our spiritual problems stem from a lack of deeper connection with God. We must examine the nature of our relationship, and where we may be lacking in order to move forward. Are we putting our needs first, or are we focused on expressing gratitude to Him? <...
When we resist or put off God, we are quenching the Holy Spirit in us. However, if we yield ourselves to God, He will enable us for His purposes. Yielding to God is not about what works we can do for Him; it is about what He is able to do in us and through us as yielded vessels to His will. VF-2452
The key to solving many issues that are plaguing Faith Center and the body of Christ as a whole begins with the recognition that flesh alone cannot produce fruit for God. That can only be done through divine manifestation. Thankfully, the love of God has been poured out on our hearts by way of the Holy Spirit, and as a result we have become partakers of God’s divine nature. The ...
We are new creatures in Christ. As Christians we receive the deposit and seal of the Holy Spirit at salvation, but there is an ongoing process of growth and empowerment. Christ baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, which equips us to be witness of Him, to preach and teach His Word. When we let our light shine, other people who have the ability ...
Two Greek words, dechomai and lambano, are translated by the same English words, “take” or “receive” in our English Bibles. Understanding the difference between the two gives us insight into how we receive from God, specifically how we receive the Holy Spirit. ...
There are two Greek word groups for the English “to fill” and its related words in the New Testament. One word group describes a filling of the Spirit that is foundational and required for the Christian. The other is a discretional gift from God that is a pouring out of His Spirit to equip for service and accomplish His work.
