But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting […]
You live in a desperate danger. There is a terrible and immeasurably costly threat that is waiting to consume your life: that you would discover one day that you really could have lived the life of obedience and purpose you have dreamed of, but didn’t, because it was too scary, or too costly, or too much trouble, or too late, […]
I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope […]

Trustworthy leaders are prevented from using many systems of communication by which they could lead in opposition. Holy Spirit of Jesus is not deplatformed or silenced. Desperate dependence on His revelation, His strength, & His directions will keep us tuned to His signal and […]

Every encounter you have had with any demon has had in it, probably hidden in it, an opportunity to learn more about how to conquer demons. The clue may have been how to recognize any similarities your attitude or values have with the unclean spirit. It may have been the exposure of some appetite your soul has for the bait […]
How would satan introduce you to people who didn’t know you yet? It wouldn’t matter, really. He is a liar. Even if he said something nice, it would probably be a lie. It would be bait in a trap. What would Jesus say to introduce you to people who didn’t know you? You could be sure it was true. Would […]
Search me, God, and know my heart;test me and know my concerns.See if there is any offensive way in me;lead me in the everlasting way.(Psalm 139:23-24 HCSB ©®)
