“I have prayed for you” – Five precious words. Those are the words of Jesus to Peter. “But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” (Luke 22:32). When the disciples were arguing about who should be the greatest , the Lord after answering their question turns to Peter & …

It was Billy Graham who said, “You cannot prevent a bird from flying over your head; but you can surely prevent it from building a nest on your head.” In John 13:2 we read about Satan putting a thought into the heart of Judas Iscariot; the thought to betray Jesus. Then we find Judas in v.27, which says that Satan …

We all pray, and are delighted when God answers our prayer. Our God is a prayer-answering God. We have many examples of answered prayers in the Bible. Moses, who led the Israelites from Egypt, prayed whenever he was in difficult situations. Abraham, Daniel and David are all examples of great prayers. God was the king of Israel till the days …

His ways & thoughts are higher than ours, this we can learn from the life of Bible characters like Job & Moses. God forgave Job’s friends for their …

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” (1John 4:1) Here Apostle John is warning all believers. Paul also warns the believers about “the deceptive spirits in the later days.” (1Tim.4:1) As believers, we must discern (not judge) the spirit …

Prayer is communication with God. If we call ourselves as disciples of Christ then we should also have a daily communication with God. In a family, if a child has less/no communication with the parents, then it is not a healthy sign. They do not know each other as they ought to. There will be lot of misunderstandings and assumptions …
