When God Calls You Beyond Your Limits

Sometimes, God will ask you to do things that seem far beyond your ability. He will place dreams in your heart that appear impossible, tasks that seem overwhelming, and callings that feel beyond your reach. But God wouldn’t ask you to do something if He hadn’t already equipped you for it. The challenge is not in your ability but in your mindset. Will you see yourself through the lens of faith, or…

Do Believers Have Authority to Command Angels? A Biblical Perspective

Many Christians have heard the claim: “We don’t command angels. We don’t order them here and there to do our bidding.” Some believe that angels only obey God directly and that humans play no role in their actions.

From Rituals to Relationship: Praying with Authenticity and Power

Prayer is not about reciting memorized phrases or following a formula. It’s about connection—speaking to God as a Father, not chanting words like a ritual. Too often, prayer turns into lifeless repetition, as if saying the right combination of words will force God to respond. But real prayer is a conversation, not a spell.

Rejoice in the Lord Always: Worry Is Not an Option!

Unleashing Samson’s Strength: Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit

When we think of Samson, we picture raw, unstoppable power—enough strength to tear a city’s gates from their foundation and carry them to a distant hilltop (Judges 16:3). His strength was supernatural, not from training or diet, but from the Spirit of the Lord. Now, here’s a question: Is Jesus the Lord of your life? If so, do you realize that the very same Holy Spirit who empowered Samson lives…

Faith in Action: The Danger of Being Just a Hearer

Many profess faith, but faith without action is empty. Scripture warns that simply hearing the Word is not enough—we must live it out. If we only listen but fail to obey, we deceive ourselves. True discipleship demands both faith and action. Faith Without Works Is Dead A tree filled with Scripture but no fruit—because hearing the Word without doing it leads to nothing. James 2:26 makes this…
