A Message From Pastor Ron and Kathy

We would personally like to thank you for visiting our website.  DeGraw Ministries is a ministry focused on equipping and teaching believers to go to a higher level in their walk with the Lord and to develop a deeper level of intimacy with him.  We do this through hosting personal inner healing and deliverance sessions and by hosting conferences, gatherings and teaching schools consisting of praise and worship, Holy Spirit led teachings and healing and deliverance services.  We are currently mentoring other people for their own ministries and working with leaders to establish apostolic regions in Iowa and Colorado and wherever else the Spirit of the Lord leads us!  Our hearts desire is to usher in the manifest presence or glory of the Lord so everyone can walk out of the meetings changed.  We invite you to join us at one of our gatherings in order to equip you to take it back to your home, workplace, community and church.  We love seeing people healed, set free, delivered, equipped and on fire for the Lord!  Our gathering "In His Presence" for women only is held every Tuesday in Grandville, Michigan.  Please visit our special events and calendar pages for more opportunities to be with the Lord through our ministry.

Blessings!

Pastor Ron and Kathy

Weekly Teaching by Pastor Ron DeGraw

Scripture:  These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (Joh 16:33 NKJV)

Message from the Word: Many believers today feel that they are at the mercy of all that the world throws at them. They feel they have no power over the economy, their jobs, or their finances. Yet the Bible tells us that we are overcomers and conquerors. Jesus said “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world”. Jesus has overcome all the trial and tribulations of the world, and if you’re a believer, than you have Christ in you and you too are an overcomer. Just look at what the word says about those who have the Lord on their side.

• Num 13:30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it."
• Rom 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
• 1Jn 2:13 I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one.
• 1Jn 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
• 1Jn 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
• 1Jn 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
• Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

You are an overcomer and a conqueror; you have Christ in you and with you. You have overcome the world. So take what the word says about you and begin to apply it to your life, your finances, your job, and your world.

Prayer: Lord, through Christ, I am an overcomer. I no longer will allow the world to toss me to and fro with every storm that comes along. I take authority over my job, my finances and my family. Through you Lord, I overcome the world and the devil, in Jesus’ name.
