Dull with Deafness
Dear Ones: Dull with Deafness! The lying voice of the enemy comes to accuse the Lord of not hearing your prayers, declarations, or cries in the night hours.

Outward Appearances
Dear Ones: Outward Appearances! There is an old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This proverb has its roots in what the Lord told Samuel. Outward appearances can be very deceiving. Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that, “For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” In order to keep us from being…
Great Oaks
Dear Ones: Great Oaks! The Lord Jesus quoted this verse in Luke 14:18 because He is Messiah and came to rescue mankind from the tyranny of death, sin, and the grave. These wonderful promises belong to every Christian because we have been grafted into the Vine. Romans 5:17, NLT, explains it this way, “For the…
Wells of Salvation
Dear Ones: Wells of Salvation! This is a very short chapter dedicated to praising the Lord God. Shout and tell those around you what He did for you. That means to give your testimony with great passion. In John 7:38 the Lord said, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart…
