Emmanuel (Immanuel) means "God with us." God is above us. God is against us when we sin. God is among us. God is for us. God is in us. God is with us.
And because Jesus came to be with us, we can now be with Him. He lives in us and we can live in Him...

Our foundations are in shambles, our minds have been overtaken, and our eyes blinded to see what is right in front of us. The snatcher (aka Satan) truly has done a magnificent job of distracting us from the liberating power of the truth of God’s Word...

Promises delayed are painful things. Will they ever come to pass or is this just another place for sadness and complacency to hide? Jesus did come the first time. The promise was kept. The second promise of His second coming is yet to be fulfilled, a...

Joseph and Mary were not sinless but they were holy, living in obedience to the Law as it had been brought to the Jewish people through Moses and the Prophets. The world was full of political unrest, injustice and power grabbing, just like it is toda...

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.

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...
