  Authority over Demons

  

  I recently wrote an article that outlined three keys for deliverance from demons. If we are going to minister effectively in the area of deliverance, we must have a keen awareness of the authority that we have over evil spirits. This authority is what we use when we command demons ...

  Power of Words

  

  Words have immense power. Words are the instrument God used to create the world and all within it. Life comes from His word. The deeper meaning (from the Hebrew root) of “word” and “speak” conveys the concept of revelation. Words reveal the depths of reality. Humanity alone has the power ...

  A Christian Response to Rogue Government

  

  When the Nazis rose to power in Germany in the 1930s, many German Christians did not resist their hellish ideals, but instead incrementally compromised with Hitler’s party. These “German Christians” sliced and skewed Scripture so as to omit entire books of the Bible, even arguing that Jesus wasn’t a Jew, ...

  Is God a Stranger to You?

  

  The billboard caught my eye: “When you die you will meet God.”   As we continued down the highway, I thought about those words. There are only two kinds of people who will someday meet God: those who have longed for the day they will see Him face-to-face, and those for whom ...

  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). Despite our aversion to suffering, the Lord uses it for good, for a purpose and to lead us to where He wants us to be. ...

  A Renewal of Both Body and Spirit

  

  For years now, I’ve sat by as my health went steadily downhill. Every once in a while, I’d get fed up with my poor health to the point that I would make some changes. I’d watch what I was eating and exercise more, but after a few weeks, I’d find ...

  5 Stress-Free Ways of Giving to Others

  

  You don’t have to empty your bank account in order to give to others. And you don’t have to spend hours in a community center or a nursing home to offer your services. I say this because it’s easy to use limited funds and limited time as an excuse for ...

  Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman

  

  As women, our culture does not teach us how to be godly; in fact it teaches the opposite! There is much confusion over how women should act and behave. On one hand, we are shown how to be sex symbols and that we are worth nothing more than our physical ...
