But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 The Word of God says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Now, what is the kingdom of God? The apostle Paul tells us in Romans 14:17 that the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit."
Do you ever regret reacting in anger? It's important to remember that anger, as an emotion, is not sinful in and of itself. Ephesians 4:26 says, "In your anger, do not sin." But if left unchecked, anger can lead to sin and become a stronghold for the spirit of anger. There are ways to recognize if the spirit of anger is at work in your life and have victory over it. Once recognized, you can learn how to break free from this destructive spirit of anger and replace it with the authority of God's Holy Spirit.
One of the greatest revelations of my life is: I can choose my thoughts and think things on purpose. In other words, I don't have to just think about whatever falls into my mind. This was a life-changing revelation for me because as Proverbs 23:7 says, "As he [a man] thinks in his heart, so is he." I like to say it like this: Where the mind goes, the man follows. Now God is concerned about the hidden man of the heart, which is our inner life. Our inner life is what we think about. And like the scripture above says, the way we think determines how we live and who we are. That's why we need to think about what we're thinking about.
The concept of creative destruction has long shaped the economic world. As innovation disrupts old business paradigms, new opportunities arise, paving the way for growth and prosperity. This principle extends beyond the marketplace and carries deep spiritual meaning. As God's people, we must recognize that crisis and upheaval are not simply times of loss—they are divine moments where new blessings and promotions can emerge. This is your opportunity to break out, rise to the top, and thrive!
Have you ever wondered about words of knowledge and how people receive this gift from the Holy Spirit? As an evangelist, I have seen this gift operate in the United States and across the globe! First, let's name what a word of knowledge is: A spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit that allows believers to receive divine knowledge about a person, event, or circumstance, for the sake of the Kingdom of God!
Do you realize that joy is something you choose? There is a time for mourning, but it is not healthy on a daily basis. If gone unchecked, it can become a downward spiral of self-focus. Oppression is not a fruit of the Spirit. It takes no faith to be depressed. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. Galatians 5:22 God has given us joy in His Presence. It takes a God-focus to enter into His joy. Jesus said the joy that I give you no man can take away. Even with the cross before Jesus it was "the joy that was set before Him" that gave Him the strength to endure it.
There is hope for the hopeless! Some people have great financial burdens and in the natural it looks impossible that anyone can help one with such a great need, but The LORD has shown me that if you follow the leading of The LORD, He will have you plant a seed. I've seen the fruit of doing this. The LORD had me plant a seed literally in my own life with my husband.
As we approach the mark of beginning for a new year, I am proclaiming: Jesus Is Lord Over 2025! I am proclaiming it for my own life, Capps Ministries, our nation, and FOR YOU. Won't you join with me in making that proclamation? Our words are powerful in our own lives and corporately they are even more powerful as we join in unity of the Spirit. Colossians 2:9-10 tells us "…in Him you are made complete, and He is the Lord of all princes and rulers." (Weymouth translation)
In a world that often pressures individuals to conform, living authentically is a radical act of self-acceptance and courage. To live authentically means embracing who we truly are, rather than molding ourselves to fit societal expectations. It requires honesty, self-awareness, and a willingness to stand firm in our values, even when faced with opposition. Authentic living begins with self-acceptance. This means recognizing our strengths and weaknesses, embracing our uniqueness, and acknowledging our emotions without judgment.
This past week, I discovered a fascinating place in the ocean's depths known as "the cushion of the sea." No matter the chaos above, this underwater sanctuary remains undisturbed. I find that so beautiful! Especially after two weeks of hurricanes, it's comforting to imagine that beneath those raging waters lies a realm of complete calm and tranquility. As I reflect on the cushion of the sea, it paints a vivid picture of how our souls can remain steady amid life's storms. God's peace serves as a soft cushion for our hearts in turbulent times.
