All tagged Name of Jesus
In this day and age when the Church has been taken hostage by the influence of the world, and often forgets who it really is and who it represents in power; it isn’t surprising that we as individual believers can find ourselves weakened in our faith, and led astray.

Do you lean on God’s promises for your hope? Does His Word not only give you hope, but does it allow you to live abundantly again? Sometimes our hopelessness becomes a millstone around our neck, and it is so burdensome that to go on living seems futile, but even in such drastic times we can find hope and relief in the Word of God, and certain joy in His promises.
There are messengers who deliver the words of the king, and then there are Regents who act act in the place or name of the king. When it comes to Jesus which are you? Which of these roles did Jesus intend for us to fill until His return, and why is it important for us to understand this?
Do you ask God to do something for you in prayer and then wonder how long it will take Him to accomplish it? Do you ask and then couch what you have requested in language which shows your doubt in His power by providing Him a way out of doing that thing you have asked of Him? When we do not expect God to do the things we have asked in the name of Jesus then we have lost our faith, and no longer believe and trust in the Lord... we have relegated ourself to chasing after clever fables. Do you truly believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit? Then, expect!
