How to Mature in Your Emotions

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

Life isn’t always easy; it’s to be expected that we’ll struggle with adversity from time to time. However, the believer always wins because our triumph is in the finished works of Jesus Christ. No matter what the situation looks like, we’ve already won because of what Jesus accomplished. He provides us with supernatural strength to overcome problems when they show up; therefore, whatever the devil throws at us will fail because we’re empowered to outlast the enemy. God’s love for us reassures us and gives us confidence that He’ll rescue and deliver us from whatever trouble we fall into.

When Will I Be What God Says I Am?

By CDM Staff

Summary

On our Christian walk, we are gradually becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. Despite our progress, however, there is still a gap between who God says we are and what we see in our everyday lives—although He says we are the righteousness of God, sometimes we still do unrighteous things. Our faith in Christ is a critical component in this journey; we must believe what God says we are, even when our lives do not reflect that yet. Our belief in our redemption contradicts what religion tells us, which is that our salvation hinges on what we do. The truth is that we are saved because of what Jesus did, and our trust in that. God never contradicts Himself. Although our stance in perfection was forever determined when we believed in Jesus, our state of perfection, which refers to our earthly lives, is still unfinished..

Why We Run: The Importance of Not Running from Battles

By Taffi Dollar

Summary

We’ve all encountered rough spots in our lives when trouble showed up and we wanted to disappear and hide from it. The tendency is to think that doing this will somehow change the situation or make it go away; however, it’s important not to run or pretend that the battle doesn’t exist. We can learn how to handle the situation from David, who didn’t run from Goliath but instead stood up to him. Making the decision to stand and fight while depending on God in the midst of the battle can change the entire trajectory of our lives and everything concerning us..

How to Have Hope When It’s Hard

By Taffi Dollar

Summary

The world we live in is filled with negativity, despair, and hopelessness; however, the Bible reveals to us how we can experience victory despite what’s going on around us. In the Old Testament, David the young shepherd provided a strong example of how to overcome challenges. Despite the fear around him when Goliath showed up, David never gave up hope; he faced a giant much bigger than himself and slew him. There’s an enemy loose in the world today—Satan—who wants to make his presence known, but we don’t have to feel intimidated, afraid, hopeless, or inferior; we can draw from the lessons David taught when we face the Goliaths in our lives..

Grace Teaches Us Godliness (Part 2)

By Creflo Dollar

Summary

To be godly is to put God first and regard Him above everything else. The base of a godly lifestyle is to voluntarily live a life which is totally dependent on God. Grace is inextricably linked to Jesus Christ because He is grace in human form. It is therefore impossible to live godly without Jesus. We must depend not only on God’s power but also on His wisdom, which is far greater than ours..
