Do you know your enemy? Football coaches and players study the teams they are planning to compete with. Warriors send in spies to study the enemy and report back to make battle plans. Christians have a lot of information recorded for them in the Bible about who the enemy is and what he is up to. The Bible is a progressive revealing of Jesus, His will, and thanks to the enemy and our rebellion, God’s plan of redemption! None of…
The Holy Spirit speaks to me from WORDS on a page. For this post, the word was ARMOUR. And that word led me to the question, “Where is your armour?” Seeking the answer to this question led me down a path of new understanding and revelations of what is MINE in CHRIST through HIS ARMOUR. Then, I was led to this song with the title THE ARMOUR. THE ARMOUR – The lyrics touched my heart >> And the best way to get back…
Why did Jesus say “Get behind Me, Satan” when He was rebuking Peter? I thought God is love (1 John 4:8), and love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)! But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Mark 8:33, Matthew 16:23 Love is Kind “Get behind me Satan!” was the kindest thing Jesus could have said to Peter! Peter was being deceived by the enemy and trying to get…
Addiction is real. Whether it’s food, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. It is miserable and it is real. The good news is that if you are struggling with addiction, you can stop fighting addiction today, right now. It’s Not All In Your Head When I began studying Dr. Jason Fung’s books about Diabetes and Obesity and other dietary diseases, I began finding out that our bodies react to our actions. When Dr. Fung explained that we are not fighting willpower but…
All Means All The Bible plainly tells us that it is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance (Romans 2:4). The devil wants us to blame God for theft, murder, and destruction. Jesus plainly tells us in John 10:10 these come from the devil. God wants you to know that you already have access to and can experience the unlimited promises of God unto the glory of God! For all the promises of God in [Jesus] are yea, and in…
Jesus was crucified and buried and had risen. Then the disciples met Him in Galilee, and Jesus says, “All power is given: Matthew 28:18.” After Mary Magdalene and the other Mary had followed Jesus’ rich disciple, Joseph of Arimathea to lay Jesus in his tomb. The distraught women continued sitting against the tomb after Joseph rolled the stone against the opening and left. But, at the beginning of dawn on the first morning of the week, the women returned to…
I just finished a lesson in Power Academy about hearing God’s voice. This is a powerful lesson and clears up so much confusion about the various ways to hear him! You can hear God’s voice! Let Transformation Begin Ashli and Carlie Terradez have been and continue to be instrumental in transforming my life through their testimonies and ministering God’s word. I “met” Carlie over a decade ago through some healing material Wesley had ordered. I was so young in the…
The simple answer to this question is yes and no. God is the beginning and the end. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Revelation 21:6 God created everything that has ever been created. He holds it all together. And he is patiently waiting because his desire is that none should perish….
The Bible starts out by telling us about the beginning of time as we know it. “In the beginning, God created (Genesis 1:1).” Paradise. God created (Genesis 1:1) the heaven and earth and everything beautiful and pleasurable for a life of bliss (Genesis 2:8) and dominion (Genesis 1:28) (law: absolute ownership). Everything He has just spent days creating, God calls, “good (Genesis 1:25)” until He creates man and woman (Genesis 1:27) in His own image. Then everything He has made…
