Souls are being caught “like birds” (Ezek. 13:17-23) with the drugs, Pharmakia, charms, and the Enchantments of the Evil One. We are living in the Devil’s Snake Pit, being seduced by the spirit of divination and bewitched by the sorcery of those who have been bewitched by the Enemy themselves. How did we get here? Or has this always been the case? What makes us vulnerable to being caught and bound by the lies of the Evil One who has made the truth look like the lie and the lie look like the truth? How do we get free from the power of witchcraft that is operating at so many different levels in ..read more

"For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything be kept secret but that it sould come to light."

Jesus reduced life into one power question, "For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mk. 8:37) "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" How much is your soul worth? The worth of something is determined by how much someone is willing to pay for it. How much was God willing to pay for the redemption of our soul? And will we despise the blood of God in selling our soul for a moment of pleasure, a moment of relief, a bowl of soup, a loaf of bread or a handfull of barley?   Impulsive, critical choices we make carry eternal significance and cons ..read more

How big a deal is the Fear of the Lord in a believer's life? What does is do? Where has if gone? The first first sign of the loss of fear of the Lord is the subtle  corrusion and corruption of our relationship with our Heavenly Father. The lack of fear of the Lord promotes the fear of everything. We are overtaken by fear of man, fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of making a mistake, fear of being left out, fear of being alone, all because we do not live inthe fear of the Lord! Learn about the dangers of idolatry, the deceptive nature of worldly desires, and how a distorted view of ..read more

Do not be deceived, Jesus said. “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ And will deceive many.” -Mt 24:4-5 “If anyone says, here is the Christ, do not believe it.” Mt. 24:23 Paul was afraid that if anyone came preaching “another Jesus” the people might put up with it. -II Cor. 11:4 One thing we may have completely overlooked in understanding the mysteries of iniquity is how the Enemy uses counterfeits to deceive us. Jesus Christ and the true gospel of Jesus Christ are two of his primary targets. But how do we know if we have the real Jesus ..read more

We all have mothers. Our relationship with our mother is our first connection with life. The bond is strong, but the diabolical work of the enemy to undo the foundations of the righteous begins with how we treat our mothers and how they treat us. The pain of children losing their mothers and mothers losing their children to the wiles of the Evil One, whether it be through drugs, gender identity confusion, other controlling relationships,  or one of a thousand other deceptive schemes to pull them away from their parents, is real. The pain it creates in our hearts can almost immobilize ..read more

Are you caught circling around old habits, stuck in a rut, living your life in passive un-fulfillment,  up against a mountain of resistance and difficulty? It is time to speak to the mountain, as Jesus told us and move out, into the place of the promise. For the Hebrews, it was going to reclaim the land God had promised to Abraham. For us, it is the Abundant Life, Jesus died to give us. Getting up and moving out of the rut fear has dug all around us will require that we first identify the traps that hold us, the lies that we believed that led us to sin. Repentance for believing those lies ..read more

As Moses charges the Children of Israel with his last words before he dies, he tells the people they have hung around this mountain long enough. They had been going in circles for forty years, and it was time to move on. Their inheritance was waiting to be reclaimed. What are the mountains you have been hanging around too long? Is it a mountain of offense, unforgiveness, discouragement, self-condemnation, or being too comfortable with the familiar that the fight to get up and conquer what is rightfully yours looks too overwhelming? It is time to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to get your div ..read more

Mary needed faith to move the promises of God forward in the redemption of mankind. We look for results, outcomes, answers to prayer. God looks at the process, the refining of our faith to believe in the faithfulness of God. He promises to go with us through the flood and the fire.  Jesus's identity and faith was forged in the heat of the 40 day trial in the Wilderness where all distractions, escapes and comforts  were removed. Our journey is not much different. Will we continue to believe and let God complete His workmanship in us as we journey together to the promise of completion ..read more

As the world faces upheaval and turmoil, we are reminded of God's mercy, ever-present and unyielding, in keeping His Promises. From Genesis to Bethlehem to Revelation, God overshadowed HIs people with mercy and strength.

We too can flourish amidst doubt to see God's promises fulfilled in the middle of our struggles. Let us meditate on the miraculous events surrounding the birth of Jesus, the unwavering mercy of God, and the profound joy brought by the reali ..read more
