There are mindsets that cause us to win or lose in life. Fools never win because they don't learn from pain or from success, but most people learn from pain, because we are open to relearning everything when there is a big enough failure. But God is wanting us to come up higher. You can continue learning even while you are winning. But there is still something higher, hearing and learning from the...

Replacement theology states that God's promises in the Bible are no longer for the Jewish people but only for Christians. There is so much deception and propaganda spreading in our time. We are truly in a spiritual war, and we must be fighting for truth to prevail. Narratives are growing in popular culture that the current Jewish people in Israel are not Abraham's Biblical descendants, but before...

If you know God's Voice, the Lord will use you for assignments when no one else knows what to do. Hearing God is not magic. It's not rigid. It's something that must be searched out to be truly found. Other people's methods will not work for you. There is something unique God wants to birth in you. There are different methods and ways the Lord wants to speak to you. Many times, He is teaching us ho...

Pressure, pressure, pressure. Everyone faces pressure. Some people are comfortable applying pressure. Some people are working to remove pressure, but pressure is unavoidable. When the enemy puts the squeeze on you, what do you do? Do you run? Do you feel numb? Do you fight? Or do you fly? Up is the only way to climb. God has an answer, but it can only be seen from above the enemy's lies. 

Recorded in India - Psalm 91 is a family affair and it was written for the dangerous days we live in. Do you know how to dwell in the secret place of the most high? There is a secret place in God were we can find refuge. The world is in chaos but you do not have to be. Work to get the promises of Psalm 91 deep down in you so the Word comes out of your mouth when you face trouble.   

First, fear disguises itself. Second, fear is a magnet that draws the things you fear toward you. Third, relating too strongly to people's problems can bring fear into your life. Fear is not your friend. There is nothing in the Word of God that tells you to ignore the devil. There is nothing in the Bible that tells you to ignore fear. Fear must be recognized and faced. We cannot allow what we fear...

Where was Jesus for the 3 days from the cross to when the stone was rolled away from the tomb? There are 3 major beliefs on this subject. 1 - He stayed in the tomb. 2 - He ascended to the Father in Heaven. 3 - He went to hell and fought the devil. Are any of these doctrines true? Or does the Bible lay out something completely different? 

Have a lot of things happened in your life that are not the will of God? Those things are like sour grapes. You wish you had never experienced them. They happen at a time in your life before you were walking in authority. Authority is needed to see God's will come about in your life. The truth is, God's will is so much better than our past experiences where the devil took advantage of our perceive...

The precious blood of Jesus. Each of us should be forever grateful that Jesus took our punishment on the cross. Part of being grateful for what Jesus did in taking our punishment is not receiving the punishment the devil tries to place on us. If Jesus took our punishment, we don't need to bear it again. The blood of Jesus will deliver you. Because the devil's time is short, he is very angry and wo...

What is the difference between facts and truth? Facts and the Word of God? Facts are not final unless we let them stand. But you cannot simply avoid the facts and live in denial. Facts must be faced head-on with the Word of God. And then the facts you were facing become part of your testimony of what God overcame. 

In Matthew 28, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth. In that same passage, He passed the baton of authority on to us as believers. All of us as believers should be walking in Jesus' authority. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon in Mark 9, Jesus called them an unbelieving and perverse generation. Could it be that Jesus' frustration towards us comes from our lack in doing t...

Do you have moody faith? Faith in its fullest form does not depend on your feelings. It comes from your spirit. When it seems like your faith is not working, when all hope is lost, that is when it matters most that you keep believing God. When all hope seemed lost for Jairus and his daughter, Jesus told him to keep believing. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spoke their faith even in the face of th...

God is looking for people on earth whose lives produce results. Smith Wigglesworth's life produced results from heaven like few others in all of history. What was his secret? How did he pull God's will from heaven to earth? 

A Valentine's lesson on Smith and Polly Wigglesworth. The love story of two people who loved the Lord. From ministry to marriage, to miracles, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you have ever sought God on why miracles happened in Bible times but not in our time, this Bible study is for you. 

When the world goes through a very intense time, are you ready for it? We are living in unstable times. No one seems to know for sure what is going to happen next. Do God's promises work in the worst of times? Even in the middle of a war. Or are God's promises only for the good times and the "safe" locations? Most people are content to survive bad times, but there is a special group of people that...

Do you test out theories with God? Do you take risks to see if He will come through? God might want to bring your theory, the question you are asking, into reality. There is no question we ask God that He won't answer. If we seek Him, it is a guarantee we will find Him. If we ask, it is guaranteed that He will answer, and when we knock, it is guaranteed He will open the door. Do you have an assign...

Is there a spirit behind your problems that you aren't discerning? Sabotage is a spirit that works undercover. It works to make you the victim and perpetrator. Where you are unknowingly causing the very problem you are a victim to. God is a good God. It is His nature to give, so if there is good being withheld from you, ask God what you are doing to sabotage it and how you can defeat the spirit of...

We are all a product of what has been blessed and cursed in our family lines. In Exodus 20:5-6 it says, the blessing of those who love God goes for a thousand generations, but the iniquity of the fathers goes to the children of the third and the fourth generations. The good news is you don't have to continue to live under the curse of past generations. The blood of Jesus has given each of us a cho...

Great callings come with great passion. It was Jesus' compassion for the people that caused Him to do miracles. And the reality of heaven and hell should stir us to do something to reach the lost. We tend to suppress passion because we don't think God likes extremes, but truly He wants us either hot or cold, all the way in or all the way out, never lukewarm. It is the passionate, those who are on...

The secret to success is learning to hear God's voice. Deep down, you must believe that God is speaking to you and wants to speak to you. The devil's voice should sound like a stranger to you, not familiar, and the Lord's voice should sound like your Shepherd. Hearing the Lord's voice is not all-knowing on our part. It starts with a willingness to trust the leading of His voice, not knowing the ou...

Can we stay in unforgiveness and still go to heaven? In Matthew 6, Jesus clearly says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Forgiveness must be of utmost importance to God. Forgiveness is not weakness. It is not God making you the world's punching...

The history of stress started in 1936. Now, a little less than a century later, according to the "experts," stress is responsible for every mental and medical problem under the sun. Is this true? The problem might be that we are believing the "experts" more than God's Word. It is the negative things we believe about stress that cause it to be detrimental to our well-being, not stress itself. Stres...

Sometimes we think of prayer as figuring out the best strategy to get something from God. After all, He has everything, and we have less. But have you ever stopped to think about what God is wanting? And what could you give Him? There are things we give to one another in relationships without a single word being spoken. It should be the same with God. Gratefulness truly makes a huge difference in...

What motivates you? The high side or the low side? John the Baptist sang the funeral song, and Jesus sang the wedding song, but still the people didn't move. What does it take for you to go deeper with God? Do you need to be yelled and told to repent like John the Baptist, or does the love and celebration of a wedding with Jesus move you? We may not realize it, but it is our choice whether we oper...
