Keep Your Eyes on Jesus! |
July 2, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
I want to encourage you to “keep your eyes on Jesus” – the times require it! Isaiah 26:3 says that “You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.” (Amp) Our ability to keep our focus & trust in God during difficult times will determine whether we walk in His peace, or allow worry and fear to dominate our thinking.

Child-like Faith |
June 1, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
Have you ever noticed that almost every child thinks he or she is an artist at age five? Young boys are convinced they will be the next major league all-star player, and nearly every little girl thinks she is a princess soon to be a queen! It is this “child-like faith” operating in their lives that has them convinced that all things in life are possible. In like manner, Jesus told us that if we are to receive from Him, we must come to Him as a little child. Little children usually don’t question or doubt, they take people and God at their word.

R E V I V A L: Get Ready, It's Coming!! |
May 14, 2008
by Randy Clark
I have spent more than 10 years taking teams overseas to minister healing. During these overseas trips I have been casting vision for a divine visitation in the Untied States for healing. I believe the time of such a visitation has come. I have just returned from Lakeland, FL where I witnessed a healing outpouring through Todd Bentley. What I saw convinces me that the season has come for another Healing Revival.

Season of Restoration |
May 1, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
I love the spring season, especially in the desert. Flowers and cactus are blooming, mesquite and other trees have new leaves, the birds are singing, and the fragrance of the desert in spring is awesome. It all speaks to me of new beginnings and restoration. God controls the natural seasons and He is the one who brings new beginnings into our lives. For some of you reading this, God wants to bring you into a season of new beginnings and restoration.

Conflict is my Friend! |
April 1, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
Recently I was having lunch with my wife, one of my daughters, and a friend. While discussing the virtues of healthy eating, we began to discuss how difficult it can be to confront others when there are issues to be resolved. A great lunch time subject!

Developing Unity |
February 21, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
I shared last month that developing unity with others is essential for the success and health of any family, business, church or organization. We cannot walk together in a common vision or purpose without some measure of agreement and unity. Unity is not automatic; it is something to work toward in our relationships. In the book of Ephesians 4:3, Paul told the people to be “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

Unity is Essential |
January 8, 2008
by Bob Sawvelle
I love taking vacations with my family. Some of the best memories we have as a family are from those special times when we are able to unwind and be together. Family vacations are a perfect setting for everyone to have fun and quality time with each other. I have discovered that there’s just one hitch: everyone needs to be in agreement with the what, where, when, and how of the vacation!

Honor Releases Life |
December 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Most of us don’t like the word “authority.” Even good authority can cause us to react in the strangest ways. Have you ever been speeding along the highway, only to find yourself suddenly slowing down when you see a policeman approaching?

The Father's Love |
November 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Several years ago, I was traveling with my wife and youngest daughter. We were in the airport, just enjoying each other’s company and having fun before our flight. I can still see my daughter as she lovingly reached her hands and heart out to me wanting another hug. While enjoying this moment, the silence was broken by a family sitting next to us.

We're Going Shopping! |
October 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Just say the phrase “we’re going shopping” and this will release different emotions in each listener. For some, its pure joy and excitement, for others it’s dread! Some folks just love to shop, even spending hours just “window shopping,” walking through malls and stores. For others, shopping is a necessary task that is simply endured!

Surprised by His Love |

Have you ever noticed that there is something “infectious” about a group of teenagers? Their enthusiasm and zeal tend to influence everyone around them, young and old alike. If you were in any of the Tucson malls this summer, no doubt you witnessed this phenomenon first hand!

A Miracle Heart |

“I’ve heard about God parting the Red Sea, I’ve heard that Christ was resurrected from the dead, I’ve heard about miracle healings in the Bible, but where are the miracles today?”

God at a Gas Pump! |
July 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Don’t you love the price of gasoline? If you’re like me, one of your least favorite weekly tasks is to stop and refill the gas tank. Between my busy schedule and the price per gallon, it tends to be an activity to be endured, not enjoyed. A few weeks ago I was headed to the airport to pick someone up and realized that the gas tank was on “E.”

Heaven's Agreement |
June 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Recently I was ministering to a large crowd of people in India, and I shared the story of Jesus and the centurion. We had seen many healed of various conditions and diseases, but many of the people present had friends and family members who needed healing but were unable to attend.

Strength When Weak |
May 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
It was a hot evening meeting, and there was a large crowd in attendance that night. I was exhausted and I didn’t have much compassion left – I just wanted to get to the hotel and rest. Suddenly, a young woman approached my translator and me, limping with her right leg. She was believing God for a miracle.

Miracle Kidneys |
April 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
“Oh, by the way, I went to the doctor after you prayed for my kidneys and he was amazed.” He asked, “What kind of treatment did you receive for your kidneys?” She said, “None, I had the people at the church pray for me.” He said, “Well, it is a miracle, both of your kidneys are functioning 100%!”

You see, what Jabez really wanted was to hear something like, “I love you and I am proud of you, you’re going to do just great in life!”

Healing the Broken Heart |
February 1, 2007
by Bob Sawvelle
Here is the good news; Jesus Christ came to heal the brokenhearted. A myth is that time is a healer. Time only hides the hurts and wounds in our lives. The truth is that only through Christ can we experience true freedom and healing.

"When the enemy comes in like a flood," the Bible promises... |
January 12, 2007
by Dick Joyce
“In my ninety-two years,” she said, “I’ve never seen the world in such turmoil.” This comes from a woman who personally remembers two world wars, the Korean crisis and the Viet Nam struggle. She well remembers the decades-long cold war with the Soviet Union. She watched as Hitler tramped across Europe and threatened the very survival of the free world.

When We Strive, God Waits. When We Rest, God Acts |

Restlessness is the feeling that there is something more that I have to do or put in order to feel valued.
