The Custody Battle
“Our flesh and our spirit are in conflict, an internal battle to be in charge. It is a custody battle for the heart of every believer.” Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. ~Psalms 37:5, 6 Within the heart of believers is a battle for supremacy over their life. It is the battle between flesh and spirit to…
The Lion of Judah Is On The Move!
“More remnant hearts will be as the Lion of Judah, free from chains and walking in power.“ Deborah and I just returned from a 10 day ministry journey in Texas and New Mexico where the Holy Spirit stirred the hearts of entire churches to embrace His move in this day. I am excited to report a great move of the Spirit toward unity and purpose for those who responded with ‘send me’. Just as a small group of God’s…
Holy Spirit Hot Spot
Gal. 5:22-26 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. The Apostle Paul wrote these words to reveal the fruitful essence of living under the influence of the Holy Spirit. The potential for bearing the fruit was released almost 2000 years ago with the resurrection of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Everything in history shifted in a new and profound direction. …
Keeping in Step with the Holy Spirit
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. Gal. 5:25, 26 People who have a deeper understanding of grace know that their very life only exists by the Spirit. They know their spirit is alive, they have eternal life, and they have empowered life, only because of the undeserved favor and blessing sealed by the Holy Spirit. Their spiritual life is by the Spirit. However…
There Is a Remnant!
In my last post you may have wondered, “this is horrible, how can so many people be confused about what the Bible says?” You may have stood on the threshold of despair from such deception in the church. But remember I said there is a remnant! Hallelujah, there is a group of believers that knows their identity in Christ. They know who is their enemy and who is their friend. They are clear in their beliefs and have not succumbed…
Does Response to the Voice You Hear Bring Good Fruit?
We are continuing our series on hearing the Voice of God by showing you how to test the voice you hear. I have described two tests so far: (1) does it have scriptural integrity of the new covenant, and (2) does it reflect the character of Christ. Now we move to test number 3: Does response to the voice bear good fruit? This is a more challenging test because it requires longer term experience to complete the test. You may…
Being Available to Hear God’s Voice
We must be available to hear God’s voice. Our availability is not about physical location but about our attitude. The Bible says in 1 Cor. 6:19 that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in us. God is not far away in distance but He may seem far away in perspective, in our view of Him. Our view of Him must be as one who is close to us, as our daddy, our “Abba Father.” He…
Leaders Cannot Afford To Burn Wasted Energy
This week I’m talking about Last Days Leadership again. Jesus told us in Matt. Chapter 24 that bad things would happen as we lead up to the end times. However, there will be great opportunity to propel passion among the people who are firm in faith and steadfast in spirit. It will be the passion of the Spirit. In the last days we will not be able to only rely upon our five senses to live each day. We will…
Draw From the Well of the Spirit
This week I’m talking about Last Days Leadership. Jesus told us in Matt. 24 that a sign of the end times would be that the love of many would grow cold. We see this today as many believers simply run out of energy. They are drawing their love from a shallow well. It is the well of their own soul rather than the well of their born-again spirit. Our spirit is directly connected to the Holy Spirit who has a…
Leaders Who Stand Firm in Christ Will See His Power
This week I’m talking about Last Days Leadership. The Bible is very clear that the last days will be chaotic and crisis-laden for people across the world. However, leaders who stand firm in Christ will see great and mighty works of God. The current global financial crisis is luring many Christians to look not to God, but to a man or a political system to solve problems. We must stand firm in our resolve to look to God for solution…
You Have Everything You Need
This week I’m talking about the need for encouragement. Ever start your day wondering if you’ve got what it takes to succeed or if you’ve got what it takes to make it? You need a full dose of God to make it today, but you may be seeing the glass as only half full. I want you to know today that your glass is not half full, it’s full of Him. If you have Jesus in your heart and have…
Are You Serving In the Old Way or the New Way?
One of the awesome indicators of Christians truly living under the New Covenant is that they are not legalistic. Romans 7:6 says “we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.” The ten commandments and the associated regulations were the old written code. But under the new covenant we are serving by following the Holy Spirit. 2nd Corinthians 3:6 says that…
