When will all this suffering end? The longing for things to change, the sorrow and loss of loved ones and the blatant injustice? In the fullness of time God sent His Son Jesus as the Ransom Redeemer to set us free from the tyranny of Satan. We are to...
Not easy to do unless you know that the grace and goodness of God are going to make it right and repay those who trouble you. But wait, there is more. We get to live in and by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to glorify Him in and through those tri...
We are here in a dark place and commanded to be anxious for nothing and in everything to give thanks. The only way any of that can be done is through the power of the Holy Spirit and faith in the words of Jesus. Jesus said “be of good cheer” for I ha...
When the jailer was awakened by the earth quake in the middle of the night he thought his two notorious prisoners, Paul and Silas had escaped. Seeing his only option was to kill himself the jailer drew his sword. Then he heard "we are all still here ...
The day of reckoning is drawing near. What is holding you back from giving your all to following Jesus Christ? It is time to declare your faith in the promises of the One True God. He is the only One who can save us from eternal destruction and the ...
No that is not a typo, it is the real source behind the sugary coated fear tactics of bullying and bribery that expose the roots of the devil’s dark holiday, Halloween. When we participate in the festivities of this “fun” night we are making an agree...
How would our lives be different if we really knew we were loved by God? Not for what we do but for who we are. We would be less anxious and more confident in receiving answers to our prayers. We would be less prone to falling prey to self-condemnati...
We have been raised to think love is based on performance and dependent upon our behavior. We are caught up on the torture racks of conditional love and project those concepts onto God our Father. We have a hard time working through the negative exp...
There more than six wars described in the Bible that will occur in the "latter days." To many these would appear to be those days. The major concern would be how far will this war in Israel spread and how long will it last? Is this World War III? For...
How do I know if I need deliverance? The false gospels preach getting rid of our sin which obscures power of the gospel of grace and good news. Getting rid of our sin and not realizing it is the demon that is tempting us to sin flips the focus on us ...
Who has bewitched you, Paul asks. Jesus tells us deception will be one of the overarching themes of the last days. Perilous times will come, where men are lovers of lies as they give heed to seducing spirits. Satan is taking the sacred truth of God's...
Knowing who I am comes from knowing that I am known by God. Jesus called people by name, even before He officially had met them. Jesus would stop, stand still, listen to their cries, go to their dying children, have compassion on them, heal and deliv...
Everything has rules, including Spiritual Warfare. We set out the first principles of this war last week. There are two Kingdoms, NOT three. There is one Rule. That rule is Romans 6:16, whom you yield yourself servant to obey, that’s whose slave you ...
We are in a war and the war operates on rules. There are mathematical principles that govern this war. There is one war, which implies there are two kingdoms, God’s and Satan’s, not three. There is one equation that manages the outcomes of our spirit...
We are laborers together with God. He planned salvation to be a joint effort. He would supply the Plan and make sure all things would end up being judged according to truth. Jesus was the Savior Who initiated the Plan and reopened the portal for us t...
We are in the days of perplexity. Things are weird and seem to come out of "no where." But the Word says, the curse without a cause does not come. Pr. 26:2 There are reasons, rules and deliverance from the lies that have locked you and your generatio...
Jesus shared the parable of the Sower and the Soil. Parables are used to “reveal” and “conceal”. Only those with eyes to see and ears to hear would benefit from its message. He warned that the birds (AKA the devil, the Evil One, Satan) would come to ...
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them...
Jesus warned us in the last days to not be deceived. Many would come in His name and deceive many. The curse of false teachers and wolves among His sheep is nothing new. Satan's target has always been the church and the people coming out of darkness....
Modern day struggles with wickedness and injustice in the war between God and Satan for the souls of men is not any different. We see the hand of God in these spiritual disruptions that have saved the human race on many occasions. At some divine mome...
So now we are “Following Jesus.” We believe what He said, now we can do what He did! What does that look like? What is the fruit of doing what He did? Miracles, praying, healings, bringing hope and the good news to others - good things. It also looks...
Jesus said "follow Me". What does that actually mean in practical spiritual terms? Lots of opinions, books, and schools of theology have tried to extract the essences and deeper meaning out of those two little words. It is really very simple, so simp...
Fear and anxiety are on every side and yet Jesus tells us to be anxious for nothing. How do we obey His command to be “anxious for nothing” when fear is on every hand? God is our ever present help in times of trouble. He is with us. He loves us there...
Demons gain control over us through incremental agreements. They do not just show up and jump into us. The permissions they need must come through invitation of the host (us). Many of these permissions have already been given by our ancestors who hav...
