I keep hearing people talk about Satan as powerless, and fully defeated. This got me to thinking. And honestly, I believe it has led me to a balanced position on healing that I have not heard anywhere before. 

What…

The word apekdyomai in the Greek means to wholly strip off, lay aside, or disarm. 

Paul uses this word in Colossians 2:13-15 to describe what happened at the cross. Satan was forever disarmed and no longer has POWER over…

As a societal whole – many of us hold negative, faulty belief sets not only about ourselves … but also about God. 

From the things they have read or been told, or by what they’ve seen other people do…

God IS love. Yes. All day. But we can't say God IS only love. 

The God of the universe, the God of peace and righteousness can not be pigeon holed and placed into a single box marked love. 

…

The scripture says, in all things God works for the good of those who love him. It doesn’t say all things are good, Paul is saying that in each and every circumstance – good, bad, or ugly – GOD is…

Last night I was trolling the internet for news regarding my favorite baseball team – The New York Yankees. Instead of finding something uplifting about their rash of injuries, I came across an advertisement of some dude that was ripped…

YOU are God's place of victory. 
YOU are God's place of hope. 
YOU are God's place of service. 
YOU are God's place of spoken truth. 
YOU are God's place of healing. 
YOU are God's place of testimony. 
YOU are God's…

You are human. Humans worry that when they disappoint (grieve) the Holy Spirit they will LOSE their salvation. 

No. You are already SEALED with His Spirit! 

Yes. Sealed with a deposit that GUARANTEES the rest of your inheritance!! 

We offer $$$ to the work of the kingdom because: 

• We are hard wired to be a blessing - no matter. 
• We are compelled by His love. 
• Our new nature is HIS own giving nature. 
• Our obedience (led by…

I met my wife in 1987 while attending college in Boston, and by 1991 we were looking to move to Texas. At the time we were engaged, I was jobless after finishing my masters degree, and she was offered a…

Love, patience, humility, and kindness wrapped around truth cleans the 👉INSIDE of a person. 

Anger, fear mongering, rules, threats, and judgment of man cleans the 👉OUTSIDE of the person. 

The truth of love cleans behavior. The threat of…

Last week God told me in a vivid dream to “START a fire.” And, as a declaration of public faith (which both pleases God and moves mountains) I believe this will be a five alarm forest fire. 

Faith sees…

After Jesus was placed in the tomb, the 11 remaining disciples hid in a locked room from the angry Jewish elite. They thought with Jesus they were now going to overthrow Rome - instead Jesus was dead and they saw…

My take on anxiety and panic attacks: 

Our mind has many locked doors - and behind each individual door is something we are afraid of. We keep these doors tightly locked - because the stuff behind them are things…

As I have written previously, salvation and the kingdom both run on belief. There is simply no way around, “without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and…

I’ve been writing most of the summer about how we supernaturally died with Christ at the cross. Honestly, it’s not the news we WANT to hear - but it’s the good news that we NEED to hear because it will…

If you learn just one thing from me ... ever.  

Emotions do **NOT** = The Holy Spirit.  

Emotions can be: 

• chemical 
• situational 
• reactionary 
• short sighted 
• fear based  
• and mostly generated by our own thinking 

There’s lots of dangerous doctrine. Most of which makes people feel condemned, afraid, worthless, bitter, helpless, or even trapped.  

But there is no worse teaching than “selling” the idea that God is in 100% control.  

This breeds…

So, someone who receives Jesus on their deathbed is now saved, but someone who receives Jesus as a teen and has a life filled with strife, abuse, hardship, struggle, drugs, alcohol, addiction, fear, and pain is now *not* saved because…

I have a new Facebook friend that I have become quite fond of. She does so much for the kingdom and loves on the extreme wounded, and deeply broken hearted.  I have much respect for her, and today she asked…
