Rick Joyner's Word for the Week
2012
Week 7, 2012
True holiness is not legalism but love. The reason the bride wants to be without spot or wrinkle is not out of the fear that if she is not perfect her Bridegroom will smite her, but because she is so in love with Him that she wants to be perfect for Him.

As a professional pilot, I was in continuous training to keep my skills sharp, and 90 percent of this training was fortifying the foundations.

The New Year is always a time for hope, and hope is one of the most powerful forces. It is often a time when we resolve to fulfill certain vows like getting in shape, spending more time with family, or being faithful to certain spiritual disciplines like more prayer or Bible study.
