Are you reigning as a king and priest?
We have been raised with Christ and seated in "Heavenly places." Most people misinterpret this to mean we have been "resurrected" with Christ. "Raised with Christ and seated in Heavenly places" is actually a declaration of authority. You haven't been resurrected yet but you have been given authority.
Believers have the same authority on this planet as Jesus and we are to be reigning on this planet as such. Not so you'll drive a Mercedes and live in a mansion, but so that God could increase the influence of his kingdom in the earth through you.
Your Will Be Done, On Earth As In Heaven
Prayer... What is it? Why should believers do it? Why do you pray? How do you pray?
These are all good questions. While the answers may seem obvious, many Christians do not have an active and effective prayer life. I think the reasons most Christians only pray when something is wrong is because we don't understand our role as ambassadors. Pray has very little to do with asking God to meet a need and much more to do with applying God's provision.
I Am a Friend of God, Equipped by God to Represent God
Prayer as a new creation in Christ is less about asking God to intervene and more about using your authority as a king in His kingdom. Imagine that you are a representative from God's kingdom sent by Him into a distant land to help that land experience the rule and reign of your king. Imagine that you are already a citizen of Heaven and God has given you the task of going around and declaring His wishes and decrees all throughout neighboring lands.
Astrophysics and Faith, What Do They Have In Common?
There is as much "faith" in science as there is in religion, more really if you think about it. For believers, faith is not choosing to believe in something even though you lack evidence, faith is actually an internal confident persuasion that God is who he says he is. The religion of science says, we don't know why things work they way they do but we know it's not because of God. A statement like that takes great faith.
Meditate On This List of the Names of God
Names mean something. They mean something because they represent something. Names don’t just identify people. But not just the fact the person exists, it’s much deeper. A name implies all that person is, has done and has the potential to do.
Do you feel like you don't fit in?
Ever feel like you don't fit in? You're not alone, everyone feels that way. I have a solution for you, choose to fit in. Don't be fake, don't play games but make a choice to connect. Anything left to itself tends toward decay, even relationships and callings.
Is life one step forward, two steps back for you?

Maybe you've decided to improve your health or financial situation only to face a challenge that makes it worse. Or you have decided to overcome a repetitive sin habit only to continue to give in. WHY?
How Do You Please God?
No amount of effort that you muster up makes you any more pleasing to God than what Jesus has already accomplished in you. Trust God, rest in his acceptance of you and do good works from that place of relationship.

A list of the names of Jesus
“Who do you say I am?” This is a vital question posed by Jesus to Peter. Peter looked to God’s point of view to find an answer.
