Cast Your Cares on Him

When I first learned to cast my cares on the Lord, I was down in south Texas preaching a meeting that nobody was coming to. I’m telling you, people were staying away from that meeting by the thousands; and after a service or two with just the preacher, one or two others and me in attendance, I was starting to sweat it. But the Lord said, “Cast that care on Me,” so I did.

Defeat Your Giant

You may be facing a giant today. He may be a giant of sickness or failure, of financial shortage or another kind of trouble. But don’t let him scare you. You have a secret weapon. A weapon that once turned a shepherd boy into a bear-busting, lion-killing, giant-slaying champion. That weapon was a blood covenant with Almighty God.

Four Words That Work

Believing. That’s the key to everything in the kingdom of God. It’s the way we tap into the very power of Almighty God. Most of us know that. But do we know how to put it into action?

Actually it’s so simple, it’s startling. It’s as simple as saying, “I believe I receive.”

Believe the Love

One day I was walking along a highway through a park praying and I asked a simple question, “Lord, what do You want me to tell Your people?” Without a moment’s hesitation, these words came ringing through my spirit and my mind:

Tell them how much I love them.

They were so filled with love and compassion that it defies words to express it. For days afterward all I could think of was 1 John 4:16. “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.”

The Nature of God

The following statement is the first principle the Lord gave to me as He began teaching me about how to live trouble free:

All scripture must be interpreted in the absolute knowledge of this truth. That God is Love.

If we do not understand that God is absolutely and only love, we will misunderstand His Word. This can cause us to think wrong thoughts about the nature of God, therefore not understanding His methods and motives. Understanding God’s nature is absolutely necessary in order for us to properly interpret His Word and His plan for our lives.
