Overcoming Addiction
Everyone needs to be loved. It's God's will for us to know and experience His unconditional love and have a personal relationship with Him (see John 3:16 and 1 John 4:16). He created us for acceptance, not rejection, and connection, not separation and abandonment.

Do You Know Who You Really Are?
It seems we have an epidemic of insecure people in our society today. People have an identity crisis because they don't know who they are. They try to find their identity in who they know, their position at work, their academic degrees, what they own, the clothes they wear…and the list goes on.

Breaking Up with Worry
Worry and I used to be very close companions. We spent a lot of time together and back then, I thought that was a normal way to live. But through the years, God has helped me end my relationship with worry. And He did it with the help of my husband, Dave.

Giving Up the Guilt Addiction
Are you bugged by a guilty conscience? Are you carrying around baggage from a certain mistake or bad decision that produces feelings of regret and self-loathing? If so, God wants you to know it's okay to let it go.

Your Anointing and How to Use It
So what's the key to living in God's power? The anointing. The anointing is God's ability in you to enable you to do something with ease, without it being a struggle. Much like a car's engine eventually won't run very well without motor oil; trying to do life without the anointing will leave us with some issues.

Live…in Christ…and Let Live…in Christ
The greatest gift you can give to someone is to let them be who they are. People just want to know they are loved and accepted for who they are. And we have the power to do that for each other, either by our verbal communication or by our actions toward one another.

Understanding the Root of Your Fruit
Nehemiah 8:10 is an encouraging scripture that says, "…Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength" (AMP). God wants us to stay joyful no matter what difficulties we face in life, because His joy is our strength. Simply put, it's the fruit of joy that strengthens us to go through whatever we have to deal with and make it to the end result. That's why, as Christians, joy should be our normal mood.

Having Hope While Waiting for Change
God has good plans for us, and He wants us to be filled with hope for the abundant life He wants to give us. Yet a lot of believers are trying to have faith when they're feeling hopeless. But Jesus didn't die so His people could live depressed, hopeless lives. He wants us to live with the happy, confident expectation of the good things He will do in us and through us.

The Cure for the Insecure
I once heard a story about a little boy named Johnny who was visiting his grandparents. Johnny had just received his first slingshot and practiced in the woods nearby, but just couldn't hit a target. When he came back to his grandma's backyard, he noticed her pet duck. On an impulse he took aim and shot a rock. The stone hit – and killed – the duck. Of course, he panicked. His sister saw the whole thing, but said nothing.

Alive in Christ = Dead to Sin
God's grace is amazing! We're saved by grace – God's undeserved favor – and we live by grace, which is also God's power in our lives to do what we could never do in our own strength. And it's all because God is love, and He loves us unconditionally, constantly and completely.
