•Speak Your Faith
by Daniel N. BrownGod wants you to live an abundant and prosperous life. But, please don’t think the devil is going to just stand by and watch while God outrageously prospers you. The devil’s whole purpose is to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) Well, if that’s the case, what are we to do? Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Truth, righteousness, preparation to share the gospel, faith, salvation, and the...
•Abiding in the Word
by Daniel N. Brown How many Christian people do you know who are bearing no fruit? Jesus said, Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. (John 15:4)The meaning of the word “abide,” means “to live” or “to dwell.” So, to abide in Christ, means to live in Christ together as one person. Jesus Christ and the Word of God are one in the same (John 1:14). So, if we will abide in Christ, we will abide in...
•Fight the Good Fight
by Daniel N. Brown The Bible says the just shall live by faith, and without faith, we cannot please God. (Romans 1:17; Hebrews 11:6) Operating in faith is taking God at His Word by believing what He says is true. We can know that we believe what He says is true if we are acting like it is, for faith without works is dead. (James 2:20) Sometimes we can become so weary in waiting for our dreams to come to pass that it becomes discouraging. Just like I said last week, the devil will not just...
•The Power of Thoughts
by Daniel N. Brown How often have you gotten started on something new with great positive energy and everything went well in the beginning? Whether it was a new job, a new relationship, moving to a new area, a new project, anything. You started off with zeal and passion. But after a while you grew tired. Your positive energy began to turn negative and your thoughts began to work against you. Before you knew it you started creating things you didn't want. It all started when you lost focus...
•A Biblical Perspective on the Secret and the Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is a biblical concept, but has been perverted by worldly teachings; therefore, the church should seek teaching on the biblical Law of Attraction.
Now I'm sure you've heard of the teaching known as The Secret. The concept is, by using this secret, which is The Law of Attraction, you can attract anything you want in your life: more money, a bigger house, more business, the perfect mate, literally anything you want!
While the teachings conveyed about the Law of...
•Right Thinking
by Daniel N. BrownNothing ever happens by chance. Everything, good or bad, that comes into our lives is a result of the thoughts we have engaged in, or by what God has ordained to get our attention. I believe we create our own luck, whether it be good or bad. Consciously, or unconsciously, we may have ourselves at some time or another, produced our conditions, desirable, or undesirable, either in our bodily health or other circumstances. There used to be a bumper sticker that read, God is...
•How to Hear from God
by Daniel N. Brown We want to hear from God so that we may be led to pursue the right things. Unfortunately, there are always three voices in every ones head at any given time; God’s voice, the devil’s voice, and the voice of our own flesh. So, how are we to be sure to hear from God with all the noise going on? It really is very simple. If we want to hear from God, we need to shut up the other two. So, how do we do that? First of all, the devil is easy to shut up. Psalm 22:3 says, “But thou...
•Are you facing some challenges in your life
Are you facing some challenges in your life?” by Daniel N. Brown Are you facing some challenges in your life right now? If so, rejoice! “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:2-4)We all know that athletes need endurance training for physical stamina and mental toughness. When game time arrives, he or she will be ready to...
•Consider the Conditions You Are In
by Daniel N. Brown Consider the condition you are in. Think about your life. Your job, your finances, your health, your relationships. Do you ever wonder what brought about the conditions of each area? How much of it was God? How much of it was other people? How much of it was you?I believe in the law of attraction. Jesus said, “Whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.” (Mark 11:24) The conditions you are in are not by accident....
•Make a Decision
by Daniel N. Brown Is your attitude, “I am a king’s kid and I deserve the best?” It should be, because you are a king’s kid. If you’re born again, you were adopted into the family of Christ and are now joint-heirs to the kingdom of God. What is His, is yours as well (Rom 8:17, Gal 3:29).Let me ask you, are you living from paycheck to paycheck? Do you have unpaid bills lying around? Do you have bald tires on your car? These things ought not to be. Determine, right now, that you will not...
