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...

The Holy Spirit is the one who manifests all the power of God on Planet Earth. Without Him, there is no manifestation of God. This manifestation isn’t just miracles, signs, and wonders; it is the work of God within us. Millions of believers around the world are crying out to see and experience the “God of the Bible.” They do not realize that the God of the Bible cannot be seen or experienced when...

A New Year is coming, and many people are trying to figure out what they will do to avoid repeating last year. Some are making a list of goals; others are creating positive affirmations; a significant number are refusing to set new goals because they do not want another defeat. Too many believers think renewal is a one-time event occurring at our new birth. The truth is: if we are still the same p...

There are at least four different ways people view and experience Christmas: those who participate as a time for family and love it; those who participate out of obligation and begrudge it; legalists who consider it a pagan observance; and believers who struggle to make it more meaningful. This week, I want to show you how to turn Christmas into an incredible experience. If you are struggling with...

The same sun that hardens clay melts butter. The Bible explains that nothing is inherently good or evil. We make something good or evil because of what is in our hearts. In the Hebrew language, the Bible also teaches that footprints have covered our hearts. Based on the damage to your heart, something incredibly painful for one person could cause rejoicing by another. The holidays are emotionally...

All of God’s mysteries are laid in plain sight. All it takes to see His mysteries is to have a repentant, teachable heart. Jesus explained that He was the door to the sheepfold. Religion has reduced the scope of the sheepfold to the new birth, but it is actually the realm of the kingdom, wherein all of God’s resources are available. In John 10, Jesus explained that He is the only door to all of Go...

The Bible is like a hologram, you can lose some of the pages, but the overall message is never lost. One of the realities that is never lost is the transforming power of simply abiding in the presence of God. When abiding in His presence, He takes us through transformation, superseding anything said or requested. Join me this week to discover the simplicity of experiencing the life-changing presen...

In 1 Corinthians 14:33, the Apostle Paul said, For God is not the author of confusion. The Greek word for disorder means “instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, or confusion.” All of creation reveals the fact that randomness is a foreign concept. God does all things based on consistent patterns of organized design. All of creation and all the works of God reveal His character, order, and d...

A committed believer rarely gets into difficulty by completely rejecting God’s Word. But we do find ourselves struggling to be sure of what God actually meant. The serpent asked Eve, “Hath God said?” That could mean anything from “Did He say it at all?” to “Are you sure He said that?” to “What did He really mean?” In other words, he was looking for any area of the interaction where she lacked conf...

The average person thinks that science has proven miracles to be non-existent myths. With the advent of quantum science, we discover more and more factual data that validates the biblically defined creation process, and intelligent design. As we discover how the universe was created and functions, we realize that our world was made for the miraculous. Join me this week as we unveil the hidden real...

For thousands of years, there has been hostility between “science” and the Word of God. Originally, science was the product of occult, religious ideas. These ideas were introduced into Planet Earth by the fallen angels in their attempt to create a worldwide rebellion against God. Eventually, Bible-believing scientists used the Bible to bring true and accurate science to the forefront. Then, once a...

Only recently has science actually discovered what the Bible has revealed for thousands of years: throughout the universe, there are portals whereby one can move through various dimensions. In fact, it was a thirteenth-century theologian who first discovered from the Bible that there are ten dimensions to the universe, and how that was affected by the fall of man. The most important portal into an...

All children in the ’50s understood decoding. Certain brands of cereal came with decoder rings, which were used to decode secret messages. It was so exciting to get a decoder ring and get busy operating as a secret agent. Interestingly, God has encoded many secret messages in nature, science, and the Bible. He doesn’t completely hide the messages; He wants His truth available to everyone. However,...

We all have vulnerabilities. As a matter of fact, different cultural groups have vulnerabilities specific to their traditions. The thing that creates a vulnerability is this: We either don’t perceive or we perceive but lack the self-control to resist them. Our greatest weaknesses nearly always come from the overuse of a strength, making them nearly impossible to recognize. Every serious believer h...

John 1:4-5, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” The Word of God is living and active. When we prayerfully read and meditate on the Word of God, something happens in us that is unexplainable. But Jesus pointed out the life is not in the Scriptures, the life is in Him. “You search the Scriptures, for in...
