Bless Francis Myles for God revealing restraining orders to him. There is a defensive aspect to restraints. It gives the believer protection, and the concept of restraints protects our authority.  At some point, most people ask themselves why there was a tree in the garden that God had forbidden. God’s restraint allows us to have authority in the earth when we honor it with our obedience. For year...

Are you reviling the enemy or taking authority over the enemy? They are two very different things. One is done out of the flesh and one is done with the power of God’s Spirit. 

​​It's dangerous to think your prayers are not being answered. Prayer is meant to be effective and powerful, never boring or stale. Prayer is what brings life, authority, and excitement to our lives.

Does God defend the promise He speaks over our lives? Does God ensure what He speaks comes about regardless of what the enemy does? Can God's Word be twisted or invalidated even? There is a part we play in hearing and protecting the Word of God.  

The blessing of the fear of the Lord: fear of the Lord creates a boundary between those who belong to the Lord and the wicked. God's presence is love to those that love Him but terror to those who are His enemies. Download fear of the Lord Scriptures at www.crosslines.net

A first-of-the-year Sunday morning group discussion on joy. 

The story of George Washington having the resolve to face impossible odds as America was being founded. 

The story of George Washington and his troops facing impossible odds in the dead of winter.

The lessons the Lord teaches you when a witch is trying to make your life considerably shorter.

We want God to speak to us, but it is easy to move or be pressured into making decisions before He speaks. How many of us are willing to struggle and contend until we hear from God? Do we truly value what He has to say above all other voices in our lives?

How much is too much? How much does God really want to give? Is God withholding from us or are we limiting Him?

What thoughts are you receiving? It is said that people have anywhere from 6,000 to 60,000 thoughts in a day, most of them repetitive. Are you answering the thoughts the enemy sends?  

Jesus prayed during the night and commanded during the day. Most of the time, we as believers pray to God but never command. Praying and commanding is the key to doing what Jesus did on the earth.

The secret to selling out with the Lord.

Who is to blame? God? The devil? Us? Or are we even asking the right question? 

Beautiful teaching of Jesus' response to two sinners. Have you survived your past? Or are you playing offense with the testimony God has given you? Some of us are forever playing defense, hoping to hold the ground we have. Jesus has a way of taking our area of weakness and making it a place of authority. 

How do you get fear out of your life? Knowing about the topic doesn't win you any points. There is an environment of fear in the world around us and we have to learn to overcome it. Even in this day and age, you can live your life without fear.

When the pressure is on and a decision needs to be made, we tell ourselves there is only one bad option. Abraham did something similar. When there was a famine in the land he went south without consulting God. 

The true test of whether you have a sound mind or not is insane times. Everyone's mind is calm when the circumstances in the world around them are calm. But how sound is your mind in the world we currently live in? 

God is always working to change us. Are you allowing God to change you? To correct you?

To who much has been given much is expected. 

The time for Psalm 91 is right now! It is the chapter to be declaring over yourself and your family every day as things in the world become more intense. Listen to the testimonies of how God protects over and over again.

The enemy cannot be ignored. WE MUST RESIST WITH THE WORD. When we ignore the enemy it gives him the signal to keep shooting arrows our way. But when we stand and resist using God’s Word it sends the enemy running the other way. 

Many people who should be picking up their swords have instead picked up their wine glasses and are avoiding the calling God has put on their life. The writing is on the wall. The greatest problem God might have with us is not what we are doing wrong but the sin of omission; we aren’t doing anything for God at all.
