Psalm 23:1 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, not only comforts and protects us from external dangers but also ministers to our hearts from the inside. The Holy Spirit, as our Advocate, brings comfort, peace, and joy from within. The comfort we receive isn’t just external protection; it’s an internal transformation that helps us overcome fear and anxiety.Just ...  Read More

What is the secret of longevity in ministry? After 31 years, I can say, “I am a hard guy to run off.”I am often asked, “What is the one thing that makes longevity possible”? There is no one thing. It’s like after getting a fly wheel spinning at a high speed asking someone, “What was the big push that made it go that fast”? There is no one push. There are several elements involved.In this study, we...  Read More

Jesus teaches that the source of our struggles—anger, depression, fear—comes from within our hearts. Like an unstable bomb, these feelings can be triggered by external circumstances, but the root lies inside. The Holy Spirit’s work in our hearts is to bring healing and peace to these internal struggles. When we allow Him to fill us, He replaces turmoil with His peace and joy.The external circumsta...  Read More

In John 16:23-24, “In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full,” Jesus makes a profound promise: we can now ask the Father directly in His name, and He will give it to us. This access to God was made possible by...  Read More

Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness is fleeting and dependent on our circumstances, while joy is rooted in the presence of God. Jesus explains that when we focus on Him, joy fills our hearts, even when life is hard. Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” We are reminded that in God’...  Read More

Jesus tells the disciples that though they will experience sorrow when He dies, joy will follow. Just like a woman in labor forgets her pain when she holds her newborn, the disciples' sorrow will turn into uncontainable joy when they see Him again. This joy is deeper than temporary happiness—it is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit.Life’s circumstances can lead t...  Read More

John 14:1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.”In John 14, Jesus addresses His disciples’ troubled hearts. They were scared and uncertain about His departure, feeling abandoned by His promise of leaving them. Yet, Jesus reassures them, saying that He will send the Holy Spirit—the Comforter, or Paraclete—to be with them forever. The Holy Spirit’s role is multifaceted...  Read More

The second type of peace is the peace of God, which guards our hearts and minds. Philippians 4:7 says that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. This peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God in our lives. It is the calm assurance that no matter what circumstances we face, God is with us and will sustain us.This pe...  Read More

We must define the win. If the win is defined by the world, such as, money, fame, numbers (alone), your sense of mission will wane with time and pressure.John 15:4,5 says, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ...  Read More

The first type of peace is peace with God. Romans 5:1 tells us, “Since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Before we came to faith in Christ, we were enemies of God because of sin. But through the death of Jesus, we are reconciled to God, and there is no longer any conflict between us. This peace is the foundation of our salvation and a prec...  Read More

But Jesus offers peace that transcends these fears, anchored in the certainty of His victory.When we feel overwhelmed, we...  Read More
