God didn’t create you to be a spectator, but a participator. You have been designed by God with talents, abilities, certain inclinations and personality traits that are the “core” of who you are. As strengthening your core muscles helps prevent injuries and empowers you to perform your best in the physical realm, so strengthening the “core” of who you are will improve your performance as you run the race He has set before you. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created ...

Learning to Love

One year I was seeking God concerning His goals for my life and He revealed this word: “Let love be your highest goal” (1Corinthians 14:1 NLT)! It’s always wise to keep the main thing the main thing. According to this Scripture and many others like it, the main thing is love. Pursue love like your life depended on it. Every thought, word and action should be filtered through the eyes of love. Every day you wake up you have an opportunity to pursue and accomplish meaningful

Prophet Bob Jones went home to be with Jesus, his first love, on February 14th, 2014. Bob will be greatly missed by many. It is no surprise to me that he went to his home in heaven on Valentines Day.
I once heard Bob share a testimony of dying, going to heaven and being sent back to earth to complete his assignment. While in heaven, he watched the Lord speak to people that were coming there. And He asked them only one question: "Did you learn to love?" He did not ask t

Faith Will Take You Places Beyond What Human Effort Can

Don’t let circumstances dictate God’s will. God’s word dictates his will. God’s word is his will. If you find yourself in the midst of a storm (a troubling situation), this does not mean that you have necessarily missed God’s will. The presence or absence of difficulty does not indicate whether one is in or out of the will of God. God’s word and His Spirit are what lead us. Often, adversity comes with opportunity. The apostle Paul said, “There’s an amazing door of opportun...

Joy: You Can Experience It
by: David Cannon

0
Do you live in a perpetual state of joy? Is experiencing uninterrupted joy a utopian dream, not a realistic pursuit? Or, is joy provided and accessible for every believer in Christ? If joy is available, why are so many professing Christians living such stressed out lives, fighting off depression and barely keeping their head above the emotional water level?
If joy is to be our normal, regular and consistent state of living, then Jesus Christ should have modeled and encoura

Do You Have to "Press into God's Presence"?

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.” – Psalms 100:4. Psalms 100:4 is a well known Scripture verse and has been included in the lyrics of many praise songs. We can learn many important principles from it. However, if we do not view this verse from a new covenant perspective, we will miss out on one of the greatest upgrades from the old covenant to the new covenant.
Under the old covenant, people had to enter into the presence of God. Under the ne

Prayer: A Conversation With God
by: David Cannon
01/01/2026

Prayer at its core is conversation with God. There are different ways to pray and varieties of issues to pray about, but fundamentally prayer is having a conversation with God. Prayer is God’s idea. He is the one who initiates prayer. As one studies the prayers, conversations with God, in Scripture, we discover that in most cases, God began the conversation and He began it with a question. It seems that today, this is still a common discovery.
The first prayer in the Bible

Faith in God: The Bridge and Pipeline of Heaven

12/18/2025

Prayer, laying hands on the sick for healing, commanding mountains of problems to move out of our way, confessing or declaring God’s word over situations, or any other spiritual activity we are engaged in, are not the “bridge” by which God’s provision is carried into our situations. These are not the “pipeline” through which flow the will of God in heaven becoming the will of God on earth. For example, If prayer alone were the bridge and pipeline to transport God’s power,

Imagine Your Life Without Fear

Imagine what your life would be like if you didn’t have any fears. Would you pray differently? Would you minister to the sick differently? Would you be more confident as you shared your faith with others? Would you pursue that relationship that seems out of reach? If fear was extracted out of your heart, would you make that change in your career to pursue a different dream, one is which you are truly passionate about? How would life be different for you, if you weren’t hel

“Power praying”, now that’s a thought. After all, who wants to pray without power? Who wants to pray ineffectual, worthless, unproductive and unsuccessful prayers? What do I mean by power praying? Power praying receives SUPERNATURAL ANSWERS! Power praying can shut the heavens, shut the mouths of lions and lying demons and close the doors of hell’s agenda. Power praying can also open up the heavens, releasing the powerful provision of God to be harvested!!!

Faith and Patience Lead to Fulfilling God's Will

Fulfilling the will of God for your life is not a one-time event but a process. It will require faith and patient endurance. What you start in faith must be continued in faith, which is what patient endurance really is. Patient endurance is simply faith over a prolonged period of time. God’s word instructs you to “follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.” – Hebrews 6:12. If this were viewed as an equation it ...

The Devil Wants to Steal Your Faith. Don't Allow It.

Does the devil want to steal your health? How about your prosperity and provision? Does the devil want to steal your joy and peace? The devil is more interested in stealing your faith in God, than he is in anything else. The devil targets your health, financial prosperity, peace of mind, healthy relationships, etc. not as an end in and of themselves. He is really after your faith in God. That’s why you are instructed in Scripture to “fight the good fight of faith” – 1 Tim...
