Apart from revelation from the Spirit of Jesus, we have a very difficult time discerning times, people or spirits. Time Magazine named him “Man of the Year” in 1939. The strength he gained from promoting racism and nationalism caused him to be appointed as Germany’s Chancellor in 1933. In 1936 he was appointed as chief over the government and the military of Germany, after creating a large absence of leadership […]

Conquering Evil
It is not likely that the King Who is raised from the grave will conquer powers and principalities and world rulers and unclean spirits through us until He has first conquered our uncleanness and rebellion and coldness of heart. Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good. Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lack diligence; […]
Disciplined to Liberty
What child has not been jealous of another child, whose parents seemed to impose less discipline and to offer more gifts? Yet, which environment prepared which child for success in the real world? Which environment equipped which child for fruitfulness or productivity in their lives? Even as adults, we are still being disciplined by our Father, still being prepared for future fruitfulness and deeper, more righteous character. Assign the proper […]
Enjoying Good Luck
It is interesting how much luckier someone is who spends a few hours a day practicing. The one who understands a matter finds success,and the one who trusts in the Lord will be happy. Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning,and pleasant speech increases learning. Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor,but folly is the instruction of fools.(Proverbs 16:20-22 HCSB ©®)
Not the Law of Sin and Death
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He […]
Studies of the End
The word “escatology” is built from “eschata” and “logos” and means words about, or study of, the farthest or last of something. Popularly, it is teaching about “end times” of the earth. Eschata was a form of the word Jesus used to say the first would be last and the last would be first. In its “last days” form of usage, eschatology is the various sets of beliefs regarding the […]
Praying and Prophesying
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. She was always doing good works and acts of charity. In those days she became sick and died. After washing her, they placed her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to him who begged him, “Don’t delay in coming with us.” So Peter got […]
Needing Comfort
Your flesh would like for the Spirit of Jesus to pity you and comfort you and baby you when you are afraid or tired or embarrassed or attacked. That is because your flesh is at odds with Jesus. Paul said “For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the […]

Praying for Boldness
After they were released, they went to their own fellowship and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. When they heard this, they raised their voices to God unanimously and said, “Master, You are the One who made the heaven, the earth, and the sea, and everything in them. You said through the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of our father David Your servant: […]
