Even if you're at a place of no hope, there is hope in Christ Jesus! Paul vocalized his faith. Even in the midst of the storm, when the ship was about to sink, Paul said to his fellow 276 sailors: “Be of good cheer!” If we anchor ourselves in God, we can go through anything.

When Jesus Christ suffered and died as our substitute, He did it in the place of the people. Why as a substitution? It's so that we didn't have to take this place. The power is in the Gospel. It's in the message of the cross: the death, the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah foretold: He took our infirmities and bore all our diseases.

The Bible tells us that there was a prophet who had a message from God, but he was deceived by another prophet. The devil is out to deceive everyone and to keep you from enjoying God's best. We've got to measure what a man says by the Word of God, because that needs to be our standard.

The greatest need in the world is to simply bring the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Not only by the clergy, evangelists or preachers, but by the ordinary man or woman, who will simply tell what he or she knows about Jesus Christ.

John the Baptist never performed a miracle, yet Jesus said he was a burning and shining light. You and I are children of light and God has His own stars. How can we be illuminated and be the dazzling star that God wants us to be? Then there are three things that must happen..

Since the world begun God has spoken by His prophets, by kings and priests and at last God has spoken by His Son. He said: “Whosoever cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out.” And He is still speaking today!

The people of Israel were held in slavery in Egypt for more than 400 years. Pharaoh refused to let them go. One moment the Pharaoh would let the people go, except the children. If the devil can't put you in bondage, then he is out to get your children. This is the reason why we need the power of the Holy Ghost to come before an individual, that is held in the clutches of the enemy.

From the moment Jesus died and was resurrected, the message of God’s Word is only good news! The message is God’s promise to everybody and it has been fulfilled! Jesus was raised from the dead. Now anyone that longs for it, can receive new life! And that’s where we find our identity.

Ezekiel had a vision of a river, flowing out from under the temple. The further Ezekiel walked into the river, the higher the water came: from his ankles to his loins, until he had to swim. This is what God wants for your life; a rapid increase of living water. God is looking for a dwelling place. Get the river flowing! God promised that out of your belly rivers of living water shall flow.

This is the hour of the church. God is preparing a body of believers who have no fear in their heart and will go out to preach the gospel. They use one hand to fight the devil and the other hand to be a blessing to the people in the world. We need to adjust ourselves to all the necessities of the Masters work. We have one aim and one desire, and that is to make Jesus King!
