  Exodus 3:14-15 – And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’” In praying about this new year, the Lord began to speak to me about three things, covenant, commitment, and commissioning. In the Word of God, the number 26 is the numerical equivalent of the name of God in Hebrew. It is the sum of the Hebrew letters, YHWH. Yod = 10, Hei =5, Vav = 6, Hei = 5 = 26. This is the personal name of God. In English we add vowels and get the names, Yahweh or Jehovah. When God reveals His name to Moses in Exodus 3:14–15, He identifies Himself as “I AM WHO I AM.” The phrase “I AM WHO I AM” in the Hebrew text carries multiple shades of meaning, including “I will...

      Leighton Farrell was the minister of Highland Park Church in Dallas for many years. He tells of a man in the church who once made a covenant with a former pastor to tithe ten percent of their income every year. They were both young and neither of them had much money.       But things changed. The layman tithed one thousand dollars the year he earned ten thousand, ten thousand dollars the year he earned one-hundred thousand, and one- hundred thousand dollars the year he earned one million. But the year he earned six million dollars he just could not bring himself to write out that check for six-hundred thousand dollars to the Church.             He telephoned the minister, long since having moved to another church, and asked to see him. Walking into the pastor’s office the man begged to be let out of the covenant, saying, "This tithing business has to stop. It was fine when my tithe was one thousand do...

  Hebrews 8:6 – “But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.” At the beginning of each year, we spend time in prayer asking the Lord, “What are you saying to us about this coming year.” Why is this important? Because we need prophetic direction from the Lord.  In Jeremiah 33:3   the Scriptures declare , “ Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”    The word mighty is also translated from Hebrew as secret things. This verse in the  Amplified Bible  reads, “fenced in and hidden, which you do not know.” God shared His secrets when we ask in prayer. We prophetically declared 2025 a year of Abundant Grace. John 1:15-16 from the English Standard Version says, “(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he...

  A man fell in a pit and couldn’t get out. A SUBJECTIVE person came along and said: “I FEEL for you down there!” An OBJECTIVE person came along and said: “It’s logical that someone would fall down there.” A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST came by and said: “You only think you are in the pit.” A PHARISEE said: “Only bad people would fall in a pit.” A MATHEMATICIAN calculated HOW he fell in the pit. A NEWS REPORTER wanted the exclusive story on his pit. A FUNDAMENTALIST said: “You deserve your pit.” CONFUCIOUS said: “If you would have listened to me, you would not have fallen into that pit.” BUDDHA said: “Your pit is only a state of mind.” A REALIST said: “That’s a pit.” A SCIENTIST calculated the pressure necessary (lbs./sq.in.) to get him out of the pit. A GEOLOGIST told him to appreciate the rock strata in the pit. AN EVOLUTIONIST said: “You are a rejected mutant destined to be removed from the evolutionary cycle.” In other words, “He is going to die in the pit, so he can’t produce any pit-f...

  Acts 1:8  – “ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”              Each of us are called by God to be witnesses of His grace and goodness. We can share what God has done in our lives. We can share how God saved us. We can tell others about our own experiences with His love and grace.              John 3:16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.“ “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” If we believe these scriptures are true and it is God’s will to save those who are lost, then we have a responsibility to share our faith with those who ...
