The Enemy Within

No one can win a war if he is fighting the wrong battles, or in the wrong arena. Until you locate your enemy, you cannot experience your victory. So, which battles should you be fighting spiritually?

A Life-Altering Decision
Posted on August 3, 2016 3 Comments
Be careful what you focus your mind upon because whatever you focus on will change you, for better, or for worse. Focus on lack and you will become anxious; on evil and you will become fearful; or on an offense committed against you and you will become bitter. Focus on Satan and you will experience bondage. Focus on the love of God and the grace of the Lord Jesus and you will experience righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit every day. One of most life-altering decisions you make every day is on what you will focus your mind upon!
This is why you will find passages in the Bible that urge you to Read More
Did Jesus Come to Make Bad Men Good?
Posted on July 27, 2016 6 Comments
Contrary to what many religious people believe, Jesus did not come to make bad men good. He came to make dead men live. That is why Christianity is not religion. It is not self-improvement. It is not about you doing your best to be holy. Christianity is Life. It is God’s Life, imparted to you, working powerfully in you, flowing miraculously through you.

The Law Is Not The Answer to Holiness
Posted on July 20, 2016 2 Comments
Have you read Romans 7:1-6 lately? If not, I encourage you to take a look at this passage. It declares that the Christian has “become dead to the Law” and has been “delivered from the Law.”
The Amplified Bible puts it this way:
“But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life].” Romans 7:6 AMP
Obviously, God does not think we need the Law to please Him. And Paul tells us why our relationship with the Law must come to an end: Read More
Hold On!

“And they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die? If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.”
This was the condition four lepers found themselves facing in 2 Kings 7. They were under siege. They were dying of starvation.

Who Created Evil?
Posted on July 6, 2016 14 Comments
“If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world?” This question is often stated as a charge against God, and many use this as a rationale for denying God exists, or rejecting the notion that He is Love. But is this justifiable? Let’s see.
Evil exists, and such groups as ISIS remind us every day that the world is not becoming better with time. Human beings continue to Read More

Have you read 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 recently? You should–it’s an amazing scriptural passage that really will liberate you, if you embrace its awesome promise.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. (I Thessalonians 5:23-24 NKJV)

Who is a Christian? I will let John G. Lake answer this question for us.
“A Christian is not a reformed man. A Christian is a man renewed, remade by the Spirit of God. A Christian is a man indwelt by God, the house of God, the tabernacle of the most high! Man indwelt by God, becomes Read More
Don’t Bargain With God
Posted on June 8, 2016 5 Comments
Do you sometimes find yourself trying to bargain with God to get answers to your prayers? Or, perhaps, trying to find enough good in you to convince yourself God will bless you in spite of your shortcomings? I have. And even now, I find myself from time to time Read More
Faith Made Simple

I want to receive answers to my prayers every time I pray. I know you do, too. So it’s important to understand the principle of faith that governs prayer and see how Jesus makes it possible for us to fulfill it. It’s wonderful to see how He truly supplies every need we have, especially our need for faith.
One of the conditions of answered prayer is believing when you pray that you have received what you ask for, even before you see any tangible evidence or result.
Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Mark 11:24 NASB
Notice, He did not say you should Read More
