Last week I wrote that I would share the two things we must do to have the Lord pay off the entire world’s debt. The first is to simply turn to Him in repentance for thinking we did not need Him, asking Him to help us. The second is to let Him help us. It is that simple.

          Will the world do this? Yes. As we see in Isaiah 60:3-5, after darkness has covered the earth and deep darkness the people, the glory of the Lord will appear upon His people, and the nations will turn to the...

          The Lord Jesus said that we could not be trusted with the true riches of the kingdom until we learned to handle earthly riches. It has been estimated that from one-third to one-half of the biblical teachings on righteousness have to do with stewardship. Obviously, managing well what has been entrusted to us is what the Lord considers fundamental to righteousness. Not doing this is why one was called “wicked, lazy slave” in the Parable of the Talents (see Matthew 25:26)....

         The kingdom of heaven has authority over the earth and over all natural laws. The miracles of Jesus were a demonstration of how the authority of the kingdom of heaven has dominion over any condition on the earth.

We can be sure that the prayer of the Son of God will be answered. The body of Christ will come into unity.

          I want to address three major thrusts we are now seeing that are taking place in the body of Christ. The first is unity, and this is making unprecedented possibilities unfold for the church. Those with faith will seize the possibilities. We can expect those who live by fear instead of faith to begin fading away.
