And you will be hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name, but it is the one who has patiently persevered and endured to the end who will be saved. Matthew 10:22 Life for the Christian requires suffering, for it is what marks the way of the narrow path. At times, it seems at every turn there is […]
The surge of deception and false doctrine being taught in churches and on YouTube ministries today is leading many Christians far away from sound doctrine. This is not the time to fall away from the true gospel message and the true Jesus Christ of the Bible.
You can claim you are walking in love as Jesus commanded, but your fruits will expose the true condition of your heart and the words you speak will bear witness against you.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV) Weapons of spiritual warfare? What are these so-called weapons, and how do we use them? I have covered the basics of spiritual warfare in a recent post. If you haven’t read it yet, click here. I suggest you […]
Recognizing The Dangers of The Occult When you hear the term occult, what comes to mind? My initial thoughts when I hear the word occult are a group of people standing in a circle, draped with black cloaks, chanting some ritualistic mantra, surrounded by candles somewhere in an underground cave dwelling. Though there are absolutely groups that do those things, […]
Part One: Understanding Basics of Spiritual Warfare There is a process an individual must go through before becoming a soldier deemed fit for war. Just the same, we too must learn the boot-camp basics of spiritual warfare before venturing into battle. There are a few key things you need to have a solid understanding of before moving forward. Every solider going […]
People are jumping on board with this idea that these higher beings will be the world’s “savior”, protecting us from our own self-destruction or preventing an apocalyptic event. Getting people to believe this is Satan’s ultimate agenda. It makes sense that Satan would reinforce this because we know he wants to exalt himself, and if people are worshipping these higher beings considering these aliens to be their “saviors” he has succeeded in putting himself in place of our true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to those who fall for the deception.
By now you should realize that you have a lifelong enemy; Satan. Every day when you wake up, you are entering a spiritual battle, the battle for your soul. Satan would love nothing more than to ensure that you remain unaware, unprepared, and deceived. Once you realize this, you will begin to recognize his evil works in your daily life. There are no limits to how far he will go or how low he will stoop to walk out his evil plans that are specifically devised for you.
Let’s get one thing straight, the name of Jesus is not some magic word anyone can pull out and expect divine protection while continually sinning against God. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that a non-believer can’t call out the name of Jesus and experience his power. I absolutely believe that can and will happen. The defining factor is whether the person calling out the name of Jesus is doing it from a sincere heart or using it as some magical incantation.
How did the choice of self medicating lead to my heroin addiction? It all started with a desperate attempt and last-ditch effort to escape what I could not handle. The persistence of my clinical depression and bipolar disorder completely hijacked my life. I sought professional help, antidepressants, therapy and all the self-help books I could stomach. Year after year, it […]
One common topic that seems to be deliberately left out of Sunday sermons and Wednesday Night Bible studies is the subject of the spiritual realm. Could it be that preachers just don’t believe it, or do they avoid it because they themselves do not understand it? The Bible is full of examples of the spiritual aspect of life, with mention of things like angels, demons, strongholds, healing, and deliverance. How is it that these extraordinary details are being skimmed over or left out altogether? I want to focus on these things in this series of blog posts because I believe it is the missing link that connects many biblical topics and events.
