It’s time to speak up and confront the lies. The battle between God and Satan is being fought within our very souls, and it’s time to have an honest conversation about it. Although the Lord has already won the battle, the Enemy still has a lot to say, leaving many of us feeling doubtful and confused. Join us for discussions on spiritual warfare, generational curses, deliverance, sin, relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, healing, suffering, and more. Tune in to our podcast and…
Jesus talked a lot about what we can look forward to. Paul and Isaiah gave us a glimpse of the future for those who love and look for the Lord's return. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former thing shall not be remembered or come to mind,…
The people of Jeremiah's day considered the word of the Lord to be a reproach. They were given to greed, and everyone dealt falsely with their neighbor. No one was radical for the truth, or, as we would say in our time, no one was radical for Jesus, who is the truth. We contrast that with the conversion of the Apostle Paul, who was not lukewarm, but already radical for the religious self-righteous…
They'd never lie to me. Or would they? How gullible to think people would never lie to me. We grant blanket immunity and undeserved credibility to trust certain people because of their position. We must look at character, integrity, and the fruit of the Spirit in discerning the safety of the people we are trusting. But telling lies is not as dangerous as believing those lies. We are to be His…
Jabez was named Pain Maker by his mother! Some of us have had similar words spoken over us: trouble maker, you are never going to amount to anything, you are worthless, and I'm so ashamed of you! How did Jabez handle the curse attached to his name? He cried out to God and said he did not want to be under the curse of those words anymore. He wanted to be blessed and not be shaped by the negative…
How many times do we panic or worry, forgetting about the faithfulness of God, who is committed to keeping us in every situation? He said, "I will never leave you or forsake you. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in us." The problem is not in God's faithfulness; the problem is in us. We judge God by the things He must permit. Because He honors us in the use of our free will, even…
Why is it so hard to admit we have been lied to? When Jeshurun grew fat, he kicked. (Deut. 32:13) When we become well fed, we begin to take our opulence for granted. God's people had been blessed, but their hearts toward God had become hardened. Stiffness of neck, stubbornness, and the blind leading the blind led to spiritual blindness. The ability to repent and admit we have sinned and been…
Where do apathy, indifference, and spiritual lethargy come from? We have been enchanted, sidelined in our lives, and struck down with the deaf and dumb spirits. These spirits make it hard for us to hear and dull our understanding even in normal conversations. The ears are the receptor sites for Words and sounds. If they are blocked or plugged up, the power of the words is lost. Jesus cast a spirit…
Jesus' command is simple: "Come, follow me." "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." Mt. 16:25 Simple but not easy because the bottom line on following Jesus is death to the old, carnal man, the reconstructed man, adapted and modified to live in the paradigm of the Snake Pit with its new goals and expectations. We are tempted to…
Jesus said, "If the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness." Mt.6:23 Deception is one of the Enemy's greatest assets in the war against Truth. He dresses up the lie to look like the truth and the truth to look like the lie. He baits the hook with what we are hungry for. The Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were…
Jesus told us He is coming as the Son of Man, to gather us up unto Himself. He tells us about the "catching away" we call the Rapture. He tells us that the day of His return will come as a thief in the night. He tells us about the Great Tribulation and that Babylon would fall. He tells us about the judgment of the world system that corrupted the whole earth and the avenging of the blood of the…
