Throughout the pages of the Bible, lying is consistently portrayed as a behavior that is contrary to God’s character and detrimental to individuals, relationships with others, and our walk with God. Let’s look at what the Bible says about liars, exploring the moral, spiritual, and […]

Lies We Believe Before giving my life to the Lord, I would have to admit to my own inaccurate view of God. I too, like so many others, regarded God as “The angry man in the sky”. Overtime my own corruptible thoughts coupled with the world’s perception of God had constructed the view I had of Him. Between all the […]
Recognizing The Dangers of The Occult When you hear the term occult, what comes to mind?

The first thing that needs to be established is a correct understanding of the attributes of God. Proper interpretation of God’s character will set forth the groundwork for a powerful prayer life.

Satan likes people to view God as an unpleasable and judgemental angry man in the sky, who sits on a throne in the clouds. This is the flawed perception of God that many people have that keep them in spiritual bondage. Inhibiting their ability to grow in their relationship with him.

The attributes of God describe his divine nature, his magnificence, and character, which altogether provide us with a clearer understanding of him.
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.

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.
