Creflo Dollar's revolutionary teaching, Favor Revealed by the Cross, reveals the two aspects of Jesus' ministry. Many of the things Jesus said were directed toward the Jews, who were subject to the Law at the time.

Knowing how to handle our feelings is part of being emotionally mature. It is necessary not just during the holiday season, but on a daily basis as well. We all experience struggles, disappointments, and anxieties, but we do not have to let them dominate us. The ability to give thanks is a powerful tool in exerting our authority over our emotions. …

Regardless of whatever situation we are going through or any challenges facing us, pausing in the midst of it to give thanks helps us to keep our perspective. God gives us good things we do not deserve; there is no need for us to look very far to find something to be thankful for. Having a grateful heart is important and reminds us of everything we…

There is much to be said for a grateful heart. When bad things happen, thanking God may be the last thing on our minds; however, learning how to thank and praise Him unleashes tremendous power in the spiritual realm. What many people may fail to understand is that we do not thank God for the situation, but in the midst of it; there is a difference.…

We are in the midst of a spiritual battle against the devil, and we gain the upper hand when we learn to control our emotions. Satan tries to use negative emotions against us, but he is rendered powerless when we take authority in the emotional realm. Life is by no means perfect and bad things happen, but God has given us His Word on what to do whe…

This kind of addiction leads us to seek others’ approval before we can value ourselves, and causes us to greatly fear rejection and disapproval from people who do not even care abou…

Believers are called to live life on a higher plane. God has declared us righteous because we’ve been born again. This position of righteousness and holiness is not something we could ever earn; it is a grace gift from Him that is permanent and independent from anything we do.
