Galatians 3:5-7 5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith? 6 Even as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.” 7 Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Abraham. (WEB) Abraham was an amazing man. He packed up and left his home town just because God asked him to. He wandered around in a strange country for years not knowing where he was going simply because God was leading...

“When the day comes that the Groom is taken away, then they will fast.” –Matthew 9:15 After a brief moratorium on fasting, Jesus promised that His disciples would fast with such zeal that they would not have been able to withstand it unless they had received a new wineskin, a new life in the Spirit (Mt 9:17). Now is the time for vigorous, rigorous, powerful, loving fasting in the Spirit. The Lord has decided to drive out certain demons only in this way (Mt 17:21, NAB).

“His answer was, ‘I will never believe it without probing the nailprints in His hands, without putting my finger in the nailmarks and my hand into His side.’ ” –John 20:25 St. Thomas fell into the sin of doubting because he had fallen into the sin of pride. He was tempted to pride not because he was weak but because he was strong. The temptations stemming from our strengths are probably the most dangerous. Thomas was smarter than the average apostle.

Psalm 37:39-40 39 But the salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40 Yahweh helps them, and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, Because they have taken refuge in him. (WEB) When I think of a stronghold, I think of a massive fortress with huge walls surrounded by a mote. Nothing can penetrate it and once you are inside and it is a place where you feel completely safe and secure. In today’s Bible reading, our God is declared to be our stronghold in the time...
