Some Christians delight in the subject of spiritual gifts, while others get nervous. Nobody wants to be weird, but nobody wants to miss out on what God has in mind for his church either. The apostle Paul wrote, “Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed” (1 Cor. 12:1). This nine-day reading plan is a “tour” of the nine gifts he listed later in that chapter. Each day gives a brief definition, an example from the early (first-century) church, and then a second example from here and now in our time.

Through these powerful teachings you will uncover a deeper understanding on how to create a strategy to outsmart and defeat the enemy and thwart his plan to destroy your life.

WHAT IS FASTING? Fasting is giving up something for a specified number of days for a specific purpose. The type and length of the fast you choose is between you and God and should not be determined by what anyone else is doing. Fasting, prayer, and reading God’s Word go hand in hand. When you fast, also pray for God’s purpose and plan for your life to be revealed.

Jesus speaks to “when” we fast, not “if” we fast. How often do you fast?  Perhaps you have fasted but would like to explore this tradition in a deeper way.  This plan will help answer many of your questions and offer structure to experiencing the peace of Christ through meditation.

Awakening helps you stir up your slumbering soul. You’ll discover how to break out of your season of dryness or get off to a great start either in the New Year or the next season in your life. Take your faith-walk from a “going through the motions” or “have to” mindset to the stimulating, fresh “want to” experience of enjoying God’s presence—24/7. Are you ready to experience an awakening?

We all know that there is power in prayer. Prayer is defined in several ways: it is how we praise and worship our glorious Lord and Savior; it is our most powerful weapon; our open door to communication with the living God; the vehicle to confess our sin; how to find God’s will for our lives and one of the ways we can hear the voice of our precious Savior. It is not very often that we hear about fasting with prayer, either from the pulpit or in our conversations as a church community. Yet, the Bible has so much to say on this subject and so many wonderful accounts of deliverance, forgiveness, and miracles that happened when God’s people did fast and pray together.

In this reading plan, you will consider what it means to fast and learn how to choose a fast that is right for you—a holy fast to feast upon God. You may go without food for 24-hours once each week or without your favorite beverage for a month. The goal will be to choose the best fast to seek the Lord and feast upon Him!

The Lord is inviting you to a greater measure of faith, faith without limits! Many of us have promises and prophetic words from the Lord but they’re sitting on the shelf. In this devotional, you will learn how to see through a heavenly lens, beyond the natural realm, and step out in faith!

God loves His children. His Word, the Bible, details His wondrous thoughts, actions, and plans for His children. Then why are scores of us living in situations beneath His promises? One reason is a lack of knowledge in applying faith. This Bible Plan shares how to use our God-given faith to experience God’s promises. God’s Word is His will for you. Transform your life by applying Faith That Delivers!

The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works. Join Matt Chandler for 13 days going verse-by-verse through the book of James.

Share this devotional with others as Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this faith-filled and timely message. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. Stand on the Word of God.

Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most challenging, but life-giving aspects of the Christian faith. In forgiving we find healing for our own hearts. When we forgive, we become like Christ in offering undeserving mercy and grace in love. In this 7-day plan, you’ll embark on the journey to healing and restoration as you receive and give forgiveness in the power and presence of Jesus.

Life will kick you in the gut. It’s never a matter of If, but When. Whether a diagnosis, a death, or failure, life will happen. When it does, you have to decide whether to fall down and stay down or to fall forward. This five-day devotional offers a path to true forgiveness and healing. Hope, peace, and wisdom are not a matter of choice, but of survival.

You are forgiven through Jesus. Jesus reconciles with you, draws you close, and assures you that you are still his follower and friend. Knowing you’re forgiven helps you forgive those who’ve wronged you.

God’s forgiveness is no light thing. The Cross is God’s complete answer to all the deepest of human needs in respect to our relationship with him. We only come to know God as we enter and live in a realized experience of his total forgiveness, and we only go on knowing God as we go on knowing and living in that same experience of liberation.

Relationships aren’t perfect! Some days, we find ourselves emotionally bruised and battered by the words and actions of others. And sometimes, we are the ones whose choices inflict deep pain in someone else. This reading plan will help you learn to walk in the freedom of forgiveness, as you study the example of true grace—our Heavenly Father.

How do you find lasting love? And once you find someone, how do you date well so that love will last? Single Christian men and women around the world report they are seeking authentic Christian partners with whom they can share their life, but are a bit confused about the purpose of marriage, and therefore, the purpose of dating. This plan will systematically address each of these from a Biblical perspective.

Marrying someone who doesn’t share your faith in Jesus Christ is no casual affair. Disagreeing between chocolate and vanilla is a relational speed bump.
