Precious Promises
NO WORDS ARE PUT INTO THE BIBLE ONLY FOR EFFECT. WHEN GOD SAYS, "CALL UPON ME AND I WILL ANSWER THEE," BELIEVE IT, because it is from the mouth of God Himself! The mouth of God has spoken! Today, this day, now, the very Words of God are tingling with supernatural power to be released by the touch of your faith. ...

Appropriating Faith

Who sinned: The man or his parents
What do you suppose such a great man ever did, for God to put this thing on him?" Now don't you think that that's an unusual judgment of such a case? For I find it rather the usual thing in my experience that people will always wonder what sin the person had committed, what wrong they had done that brought such and such an affliction or such a punishment on them. ...

How to be rid of doubts
Only he must ask in faith, it must be in faith that he asks, with no wavering, no hesitating, no doubting." -- Now the Word is saying that you must not doubt when you ask God for something.

God's faithfulness
...The moment of supreme testing should be the moment of divine illumination, when you find with positive assurance that the resources of God are sufficient and unfailing for your every need because of His great faithfulness.

Forgetting the Past
But there's one thing we do know, and this is that we can leave behind the past with all of its cares and frets and its pains and heartaches and mistakes and blunders. Isn't it wonderful! -- Forever in the past, beyond our recall. We can't undo one single act and we can't un-say a word that we have said.

Just a Closer Walk
If you have a problem today, a great need in your life, maybe your problem is like this dear woman's problem who has just written in to us. She said, "I have done all the things you have suggested and read all the books, but everything is just the same...

...That's a wonderful verse for those of you that are in distress right now, who feel like you have come to the very end of your rope! And there are times in life when everything looks like absolute defeat....

The Whole man

The Tongue: Life and Death
Of all the weapons of warfare, the tongue has been the greatest when it gets loose! A tongue out of control, an unkind tongue, a bitter tongue, a tongue that says hard critical or bitter things, ...

Daniel
I always think when I think of Daniel, that old prayer warrior of days long ago, that one of the most beautiful pictures in God's Word is the picture of Daniel on his knees by the window, as he prayed three times a day with his face toward Jerusalem. ...

Be Still
I WAS IN SORT OF AN INWARD TURMOIL, WHEN SUDDENLY THIS VERY VERSE CAME TO ME, just be still, get quiet, know that I am God.

It's so Because God said so
I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WAS THAT SOMEONE HADN'T TOLD ME THE TRUTH OF THESE THINGS! But suddenly a deep conviction dawned on my soul that God could not fail His Word. I true, God said it and it's true!" ...

Transformed by Beholding
I will be 79 years of age, and yet I have such a busy life: counseling, speaking appointments and writing! And I have my homework also, so life is a busy thing for me, and many times I have to look to the Lord to renew my strength, and I think about this Verse. ...

Hold On
I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WORDS THAT YOU ARE NOT TO "CAST AWAY YOUR CONFIDENCE." And it does have great recompense of reward because God will not fail, He cannot fail. ...

The Standard
I have a friend who is so very frail that it just seems a miracle that she lives on, but she has a secret:...

The Secret Place - Victory over Temptation
God is in the Secret Place of prayer and it's so filled with His Love! It's love that awaits you there, no matter how weak and sinful you've been, or how hard your heart, or how little your faith.

Compromise and Conformity
Daniel himself was about 14 years of age, and here he is standing out against all of the conformities of that day. I want to read you a part of this. It is such a long story here, written...

The Will of God
From these letters that we have received, there are some very pathetic cries that come in. One from a sufferer who lives in a wheelchair, terribly crippled with arthritis. She tells of the long years of bondage and then she sums it all up in these words ...

Wait for the Light
"'Oh no,' he whispered, 'Don't go until the lights come on!' So I waited. The room became darker, the shadows deepened, the windows were ugly and repelling and I wanted so much to leave. Then suddenly the street lights came on in full and the whole scene was changed! ...

Sense of Values
How true that the Lord calls us over the tumult of life's wild restless sea! Some time ago, I mentioned to you that I was sitting in a little coffee shop overlooking the ocean here and I was watching the boats far out to sea, and that I was dreaming of the Crystal Sea. ...

The Bread of Life
...Just as we've said, it's just for the asking! Tonight there in your bedroom alone, or there by your radio now, get to God and accept His gracious invitation! He says, "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." ...

"The possibilities of prayer are founded by the promises of God." -- You know I take God's Word literally and because of this I've sometimes had to stand out against leaders who try to spiritualize so many things in the Word of God. ...

Man's Heart
As I'm sitting here in the heart of Los Angeles and praying about this message, this meditation that we're to bring to you, not very far from where I am there is this terrible situation, this rioting that really is just like anarchy!

The Secret Place - Renewing Your Mind
The Devil attacks us first in our thoughts: that's the door through which he finds entrance. But thank God we can slam that door shut!

Beginning Again
But things swept under the rug have a bit of coming back to harm and haunt us. You can't pretend all is well, for you'll be exposed and humiliated and hurt when the cover-up is found out. "Be sure your sin will find you out," God's Word says in Num.32:23. ...

The Ladder of Faith
