It troubles me that many people who claim to be Christians live with limited, powerless, finite thinking. How is this even possible? I mean, how do people who claim to have the Creator of the Universe living inside of them, the mind of Christ thinking through them, and the Spirit of God influencing the world around them even have the nerve to think small? I’d propose that we believers don’t have permission to live with limited mindsets as that would be a waste of our heavenly inheritance! We have a mandate to make earth like heaven and to disciple nations, so it’s time we begin to bring heaven ..read more

The spirit of suicide is one of the most nefarious thieves to prowl the planet. Many years ago, I was under the influence of a suicidal spirit for several grueling months. One of the biggest challenges I faced was that every time the spirit talked to me, it injected a desire to follow through on the thought to end my life. It came not only with a lie but with a compulsion that sometimes felt like it could take over my thoughts and even my actions. If you’re battling a spirit of suicide, I want to remind you that not all of your thoughts are your own! It would have been easy to separate my expe ..read more

In my experience, unforgiveness is the number one reason why Christians are oppressed! Unforgiveness leads to bitterness and offense, which can cause you to waste your life trying to get even instead of fulfilling your own destiny by walking in your call. Many people spend their lives hating others and planning for revenge. However, bitterness has no friends. There is no container known to man that will hold it. It always leaks out onto those we love the most. It is important that we forgive all those who sinned against us so that we can be free to go on with our lives! It is also crucial that ..read more

If you want to change the world, it’s imperative that you learn to submit your life and remain accountable to wise people! Over the years I have seen that one of the greatest stumbling blocks to achieving your God-given destiny is the desire to run the course alone, stifled by your own blindspots and confused as to why you cannot move forward. I understand more clearly now than ever that with great authority comes much responsibility. The more influence you have in the world, the more wisdom you’ll need to navigate life redemptively so that the purposes of God are fulfilled in your time. Favor ..read more

When you’re in the middle of what feels like a debilitating trial, it’s easy to think that God favors others more than you, or that the situation that you are going through is somehow beyond God’s ability to fix it. I know these feelings all too well… In the midst of the darkest time of my life, I went to see a professional counselor who is a friend of mine. Of course, the first question he asked was, “Why have you come to see me?” I shared the story of my family crisis and my daughter’s nervous breakdown. I went on to explain how discouraged and depressed I was over these situations. He asked ..read more

Many Believers are concerned with being spiritually defensive that they forget the practice of offensive spiritual warfare! Sometimes the enemy can create circumstances that promote storms in our lives, so it is vital that we keep ourselves prepared for action and do not fall prey to deceptive mind games that can war against our souls. Let me be clear, I’m not talking about looking for demons behind every corner. Rather, we must proactively prepare our minds for action so we do not get caught off guard and fall for his evil devices (see 1 Peter 1:13). If you struggle with living a lifestyle of ..read more
