God wants every believer to experience His power and glory. In fact, God is only glorified when we do things that emerge from His power. There is no glory for Him when we do that which we do by our strength, tenacity, and willpower. Join me this week in CyberChurch to discover the simplicity of demonstrating the power of God that manifests His glory.

The times we are tempted to run away from God in shame or hide behind our excuses are the times we should run directly to God. When we find the Most Holy Place of God, we don’t find a Judgment Seat, we discover the Mercy Seat and the Throne of Grace. God never condemns us because of our failures; instead, He accepts us with compassion and kindness. He doesn’t send us back into the world to do the...

Some believers spend their entire life trying to understand the will of God for their lives. However, the Bible clearly states the will of God for our lives. Most people are really asking, “What is my destiny?” God has one overall destiny for all the human race. In order to understand my personal destiny, I must first understand the destiny of all mankind. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we re...

There are so many dimensions to the blessings God offers the believer. Religion would have you believe there is a secret formula, special faith, new revelation, or unique anointing needed to access each different gift of God. This comes from Gnostic religious beliefs that have crept into Christianity over the centuries. Actually, the Scripture makes it clear how we can experience the many dimensio...

If you asked God for great power and strength, and He promised to give it, what would that look like? Moses asked to see God’s glory. God agreed to reveal His glory. But what Moses was expecting was radically different from what he experienced. Many requests we assume to be unanswered may simply result from us having a different definition than God’s. Discover the wealth of spiritual treasure God...

Our God lives beyond the dimensions of space and time. This is why He can see and predict the outcome of everything that occurs in our universe. One of His names is Jehovah-Jireh. Many have simplified this name to mean “Jehovah will provide.” Actually, this name means He will see and provide. He will look ahead in our lives and provide us insight and direction to avoid the “potholes.” Join me this...

There are hundreds of prophecies that foretell what is coming upon the earth and provide instructions about how we can prepare for what’s coming. The Holy Spirit wants to be our counselor and comforter. He wants to lead us to victory in every area of life. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we talk about Prophetic Preparations and how you can know God’s plan for your protection and provision.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus explains what can be done to keep your heart engaged, which makes you strong and stable enough to be delivered from the tribulation. In Luke 21, He explains it from another perspective. Instead of looking at all that is going wrong and the horrors to come, we should be looking to and listening to Jesus explaining how we can escape. Join me this week in CyberChurch...

In 40 AD, Titus of Rome began a siege against Israel. According to historians, 1,100,000 Jews died in this siege. That same historian also says that no Christians died in that siege. How is that possible? Thirty-eight years beforehand, Jesus provided instructions for surviving the destruction of Jerusalem. By following His instructions, the church enjoyed unique protection. Jesus continues to prov...

Of all our fears, the greatest is probably the fear of death. It is the ultimate unknown… or is it? We are facing a unique time in history. There are actually options arising that give us choices we’ve never had. For the first time in the history of the world, we can choose how we will die. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover your biblical options and how you can cross over with peace an...

In the not too distant future, Jesus, the bridegroom, will call out for His bride, the Church, to come to Him for the great catching away. While the world is plunging into the worst tribulation since the beginning of Planet Earth, the bride of Christ will enjoy one of the greatest heavenly celebrations in all eternity! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discuss the great catching away and the...

Jesus anticipated these dark times in which we live. But, He didn’t leave us without hope. The word “hope” means a confident expectation of good things. The secret to hope and comfort in these troubled times is to think, share, meditate on, and ponder the rapture. The rapture is the most bizarre promise God has ever made. Not only will the rapture deliver us from the evil of this world, but it wil...

A day will come when every believer will stand before Jesus. The Bible calls it the Judgment Seat of Christ. Unfortunately, religion has led us to believe that all judgment is negative; but that’s not true. The Judgment Seat of Christ is not about discovering all our faults; it’s about discovering everything we did right! In fact, all we have done that is unacceptable to the Lord will actually pas...

So many people live in the guilt and shame of personal failure. Religion has convinced you that God is finished with you. But Jesus says just the opposite. Join me this week to explore one of the most tender heart warming stories of God’s willingness and ability to love you even after you fail. “Fallen not Forsaken” will touch your heart and move you past the doom and gloom of past failures.

One of the most overlooked and ignored teachings of Jesus is the fact that He will return to earth and overthrow the antichrist and his followers. Jesus will then establish His Kingdom here on earth where He will rule and reign for 1000 years. The exciting thing is this: we will rule and reign with Him. We will all have a role in His earthly Kingdom. Do you want to have some understanding of your...

Knowing the difference between rewards, inheritance, and our position in Christ is essential for the believer desiring to live the best quality of life possible. Jesus' parables of the Kingdom were not about going to heaven or hell; they were about the Kingdom of God and our inheritance in that Kingdom. Join me this week in CyberChurch and begin to discover how you can share in your inheritance no...

In the ancient Hebrew family, the heir was raised under a tutor that taught him how to make good decisions. He learned how to manage the inheritance. His capacity to manage the family resources affected him and his entire family. God has given us a personal tutor: the Holy Spirit. He works in us to lead us into the very best decisions possible. If you want to discover how to flow with your persona...

We’ve been taught that our adoption took place when we were born into the body of Christ. But if we were born into the body, we can’t be adopted into the body. We were born again by the Spirit of God, thereby becoming children of God. Adoption is about our connection to our inheritance. In a Jewish family, the heir apparent was tutored so he would be ready to inherit and manage the family resource...

The Apostle Paul tells us of a mystery unfolding here on Planet Earth. It is educating all the principalities, powers, and names that can be named. The full revelation of this mystery will be so overwhelming, it will transform our every concept of God! We will see and understand God in ways we never imagined. You can begin to share in the mystery now, and it will forever change everything in your...

One of the most insidious lies promoted by religion is this: When you fail or give in to temptation, you give the devil authority over you. When Jesus was raised from the dead, He said, “All authority is given to me in heaven and earth.” If the authority was given to Him, we can’t give it away. It’s not ours to give. The Bible says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The Hol...

There have been all kinds of debates about the evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit, and it is doubtful that any single gift of the Spirit is conclusive evidence. The most important evidence we should desire to validate the work of the Holy Spirit is this: inwardly, we should develop the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Externally, we should have power working through us to minister to hurting p...

The Holy Spirit has a clearly defined “job description.” Everything He does has one specific goal: to help the believer. “How does He help,” you ask? He manifests the power of God in your heart that expands your capacity, strengthens you physically and emotionally to do, be, and have all God says you can do, be and have. Join me this week, and we’ll identify the many ways the Holy Spirit works in...

The Holy Spirit is not the doer of the word; He is the one who helps us do the word. When we believe the truth and make the decision to put it into practice, He immediately begins to work in our hearts to make us able. But He can do nothing until we decide whether or not we will trust God’s Word. Join me this week in CyberChurch for a whole new look at how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, makin...

No matter what your desire may be, the Holy Spirit has a way to lead you into its fulfillment with absolutely no destruction in your life. Sons of God are led by the Spirit. A son of God is like the elder son in the family who has been qualified for his inheritance. God wants to lead you by His Spirit into your inheritance which is better than anything you have ever seen, heard, or imagined. Join...

Jesus promised to send us a helper who would be with us and in us. This helper is the Holy Spirit. “Just what does the Holy Spirit help us do?” you might ask. He helps us do everything God says we can do, and He helps us take hold of everything God gives. He opens our eyes to see what the natural mind cannot see. Without the Holy Spirit to help and strengthen the believer, all we have is informati...
