Take Authority
God has given you authority over the things in your life just like He gave Adam authority in the Garden of Eden. You have authority over your family and your household. But if you don't exercise your authority, the devil will come in and take over your garden just like he took over Adam's garden.
When Ken and I were first born again, we didn't understand that. We just keep bumping around in the same old ruts we'd been in before we were saved. We stayed just as broke and as sick as everybody else in the world.
Oh, we knew God worked miracles. Ken saw them firsthand when he was working as co-pilot, flying Oral Roberts to his healing meetings. When they would arrive at the meeting, it was Ken's job to get the people in the invalid tent ready before Brother Roberts came in to minister to them.
The invalid tent was the place where the people went who were too sick to go into the regular meeting. Most of them were on stretchers or in the last stages of some terminal illness.
Yet, as Brother Roberts laid his hands on those people, Ken saw amazing miracles. One woman spit the cancer up, right in the middle of the floor. A girl, who came in strapped to a board because she was totally paralyzed, jumped straight up when Brother Roberts touched her, and began to run around the tent totally healed.
Ken saw those miracles with his own eyes. But do you know what? They didn't do anything for our family. It was when we heard that Jesus had already borne our sickness and carried our diseases that our personal lives changed.
It was when we saw in the Word of God that we had authority over sickness and began to say so, that we began to get free. When we realized that we weren't the sick trying to get healed, and the devil was trying to steal our health, we began to take dominion and say, " Devil, get out of here!" And he would flee and take his sickness with him.
Of course, its a thrill to see God work miracles. But you can't live day in, day out on miracles. What will change your life is taking hold of the authority that belongs to you in the Word of God and releasing that authority from your mouth. If you'll do that, you can keep the devil under your feet where he belongs.

"I Love You, Brother.""Brother, sometime ago was deeply hurt by another Christian. I've tried to forgive, yet everytime I see that person . I still feel angry and resentful. Will I ever be able to truly forgive?"
I've been asked that question many times. And the answer is, "Yes, you can, and you must!"
Unforgiveness is downright dangerous. It will make your spirit feeble and your prayers ineffective. It will pull the plug on your faith so completely that you won't have enough power to move the molehills in your life - much less the mountains.
In Mark 11, Jesus didn't say, "When you stand praying, try to forgive" or "When you stand praying, forgive if you can." He simply said, "Forgive." Period.
Jesus made forgiveness a command. It would be unjust for Him to command us to do something we couldn't do. So you can be sure it's within your power to obey His command and forgive - no matter how you've been wronged.
Most people don't realize it, but unforgiveness is actually a form of fear. Quite often we don't forgive because we're afraid of getting hurt again. We're afraid we're never going to recover from the damaged that person has done to our lives.
If you want to freely forgive, get rid of those fears. Cleanse yourself from them by the "washing of water by the word" (Ephesians 5:26) Fill your mind and heart with promises of God that apply to your situation.
If you'll do that, I can assure you from my own experience, your feelings will change. It may not happen overnight.. but it will happen. One of these days, almost without thinking, you'll throw your arms around that person, give him a big and say, "I love you, Brother." What's more, you'll mean it from the bottom of your heart.

Fear the Lord
What does it mean to fear the Lord? It means to give Him total respect, to honor Him, to let Him be God in your life. If you fear the Lord, whatever he says, you'll do. When you find something in His Word, you implement it immediately. You're quick to make changes.
God says people who live that way have no want. No want! That's a vast statement. But read the Bible and you can see that it's true. God has always taken total care of His people. When Israel followed Him, there was no lack in the whole nation. They had everything they needed. They were strong. They were prosperous. No enemy could stand before them. There was no sickness or disease among them.
God doesn't have any problem backing up His Word. The only problem He's had since the Garden of Eden has been finding people who would do would do what He says and allow Him to be God in their lives.
Listen to me closely. God knows exactly how to get you out of trouble. He hasn't forgotten how to part the Red Sea. He never changes. When He finds somebody who is loyal to Him, He's loyal to them.
2 Chronicles 16:9 says, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." That word perfect doesn't mean one who doesn't make mistakes. It means "one who is loyal."
God isn't just willing to deliver you from trouble, He wants to deliver you. He is constantly searching for opportunities to show Himself strong on your behalf! But he won't force it on you. You'll have to fear Him, give Him total respect and honor Him. If you want to walk in the delivering power of God, you will have to want it enough to let God be God every day of your life.

Tap Into the Mind of the Spirit
Most believers don't realize it, but praying in the spirit or praying in other tongues, is a spiritual exercise that strengthens your inner man. Just like barbell build up your arms, praying in tongues will build up your spirit. If you'll do it faithfully, it will help to keep that flesh body of yours in line.
"Well Gloria," you may ask, "why can't I just do that praying in my native language?"
Because the Bible says your "weakness" gets in the way. Many times your natural mind doesn't have the first idea how to say prayer that will strengthen you against temptations or bring the answer you need.
Your mind is not informed like your spirit is. Your spirit is in contact with God. That's why, as Romans 8:26-27 says, the Holy Spirit comes to our aid because we do not know how to pray as we ought.
Praying in tongues enables you to pray the perfect will of God for your life. It allows you to step out of the realm of the flesh and into the realm of the spirit so that no matter how weak or ignorant you may be in the natural, you can pray exactly what you need.
Praying in tongues is the tool God has given us to tap into the mind of the Spirit. When we pray in tongues, we activate our Spirit to understand as the Holy Spirit enlightens us.
But be warned, it won't work for you unless you put it to work. The Holy Spirit is a gentleman. He's not going to come storming in and make you pray in the spirit. He's going to wait for you to put your will in gear.
So yield to the Holy Spirit today. Begin to pray in tongues every day and build yourself up. Tap into the mind of the Spirit. You'll be blessed to have the strength, ability and answers you need for every situation!

All things are Possible with God!
Have you ever felt hopeless.. ready to give up? Maybe you've already given up.. felt there were no answers and that you were simply trapped right where you sit. Well, according to the Word of God, you don't have to stay here.
According to the Word, hopelessness isn't caused by lack of money. It isn't caused by lack of education. It isn't caused by negative circumstances. Hopelessness comes from being without God in the world. It comes from being a stranger to His covenant (Ephesians 2:12). Anybody anywhere can have hope if they know Jesus and the covenant promises of God. Your background, race or financial status doesn't matter. You can live in the worst slum in the world and still have hope in God because He isn't limited by the man's resources. He isn't limited by man's prejudices. God is an equal opportunity employer!
Some have said people have said to me, "You ought not preach that prosperity message in poverty-stricken area. You'll get those people's hopes up, and they don't have the same opportunity to prosper that you do."
Yes they do!
I've seen God prosper people in places where there was absolutely nothing. No food. No jobs. No welfare program. Nothing! There is one country in Africa where the government wanted a tribe to die out, so they just stopped the flow of food and began to starve them to death. But that plan failed because some Holy Ghost - filled. African Christians refused to give up hope. They knew their covenant, so they prayed. "Give us this day our daily bread." Do you know what happened? The people were fed and the government went under!
The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:20, "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that nothing I shall be ashamed..." Ig you'll look up the two Greek words translated "earnest expectation and hopes," you'll find that both mean the same thing. So hope is earnest expectation.
"But how can you so intensely expecting isn't dependent on the world's economy. It's based on what God has promised in His covenant. Because He said it, I earnestly expect it! I have a covenant with Almighty God and I can be filled with hope. If you need hope today, ask God into your heart. If you are already a believer, take authority over the devil and cast hopelessness away from you. If not yet, this is the day that you believe Him.. Stand on God's Word, His personal promises to you, and let hope rise up within you. With God all thing are possible to him that believes!

Jesus is Inside You!
I believe you are about to receive a revelation from God that will turn you inside out and upside down. It's a mystery hidden in God from the beginning of time. It's "Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing - in you, the hope of glory"
Before you shrug that off as something you already know and understand , I want to ask you a question : Do you really - really realize - that Christ, the Anointed One Himself, lives in you? Do you realize that at this very moment you are His body on the earth?
You and I are not just Jesus' representatives, We're His literal, physical Body on this earth! If the people of today's world are going to see Him , they'll have to see Him through your body. They'll have to see Him through my body.
It's a staggering thing to think about - so staggering it would be unbelievable if it weren't in the Bible. But 1 Corinthians 12:27 says it so plainly, even a child can understand: "Now ye are the body of Christ."
When you or I lay hands on someone, Jesus is in us to bring that healing to pass. When we open our mouth to utter words, He's in there to give us utterance in the Holy Ghost. The Word says, "He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit" with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17)
Think about that! You are one spirit with Jesus and Jesus has never changed. He hasn't lost any of His power. And He is in you, able to do the very same things He did when He walked the earth Himself 2,000 years ago!
Why then aren't we doing those things? Why isn't His power being revealed in our lives?
Because we are not expecting it to be! We're not exercising our faith and believing Jesus Christ is to be revealed in us.
That shouldn't surprise you. After all, nothing in God's kingdom just drops on you automatically. To receive healing, you have to believe for it. Not even the new birth was dropped on you. You had to receive it by faith.
Everything we get form God takes faith. So, for the Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed in you, you're going to have to believe He's in there and begin expecting Him to manifest His presence through you.
So start doing it. Get revelation on the inside of you.. Christ in you, the hope of glory!

God Loves You!
Something's missing. You feel it. You know it. You trust God's power. You know His promises. But inside you're wavering. How can you be sure He'll come through for you?
To answer that question, you need more than a knowledge of God's power and promises. You need a personal relationship with Him. You need a personal revelation of His Love.
He gave everlasting, unconditional, never-failing love. God's love. Our natural minds cannot grasp it. Yet Paul prayed in his letter to the Ephesians that we might "know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:19)
God wants to give to you. It His desire that every person know His vast love for them. If you've never known God's unconditional love, start the new day off right. As Him for a personal revelation. If you've never ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life, ask Him onto your heart. You can pray like this:
