Words are extremely powerful because words ushered in the creation of the universe. Words still have creative power today and carry the fullness of our hearts message. Never has a greater lie been spoken than “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Conversely, Proverbs 18:21 states, “Death and life […] The post Your words are powerful! first appeared on Carl Jos...

If ‘faith works by love’ (Gal 5:6), then obviously to operate in great faith, we mustn’t compromise our love walk. Love is the foundation of Christendom. Consider Faith to be love’s twin. Faith has been described as the ‘currency of the kingdom.’ Yet it can waver sometimes in our lives. In some rare instances, our […] The post What can shut down your faith? first appeared on Carl Joseph Mini...

Without doubt, this is the most important podcast you’ll ever listen to, in your lifetime. According to pollster George Bana, 76% of Americans believe in a literal heaven, but only 32% believe hell is an actual place of suffering and torment.

Ever since the serpent beguiled Adam and Eve, man has been subject to both physical and spiritual death. God never intended for this to happen. Transhumanism is a modern means to achieve immortality by circumventing our Savior.

In 1949, Eric Arthur Blair (aka George Orwell) wrote his dystopian novel ‘1984’, as a stark warning of a future totalitarian government obsessed with surveilling its populace.

Some people believe in God and others believe in science, but why not both? The Holy Bible has never once contradicted science and never will. Many of the greatest scientists who’ve ever lived were either Christians or held a belief in God.

Is it possible to pray beyond God’s ability? Most would respond saying, ‘of course not…God can do anything!’ In actuality, God is restricted by His logos word and for Him to contradict it, would be an act of hypocrisy. The manifestation of His will not only depends upon our knowledge of His promises but faith […] The post 9 common hindrances to answered prayer first appeared on Carl Joseph M...

There’s a common notion within Christendom that God is ‘sovereign,’ which infers He’s in control of everything. What exactly is He in control of? If He’s in control of ‘everyone’ and ‘everything,’ then He’s not doing a particularly good job of it! This false notion that God’s in control of everything insinuates our Heavenly Father […] The post Is God Sovereign? first appeared on Carl Joseph...

The halls of academia are adorned with the statues of men who’ve propagated evolution. Charles Darwin is revered by academics as the father of modern evolutionary theory.

Are you one of […] The post 17 reasons why Evolution is a lie first...

The Body of Christ understands Jesus died for their sins but few appropriate the physical healing our atonement also provides. Jesus’s sacrifice was all encompassing. It catered for both our healing and deliverance, in addition to our assured salvation. A study of the Hebrew words for ‘grief’ and ‘sorrow’ in the fifty third chapter of […] The post Jesus our Healer first appeared on Carl Jose...

Did you know you possess riches beyond compare? Your ignorance of this wealth is costing you on a daily basis.

As we gain understanding of the heavenly […] The post The Power of the Cross first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .

If the tenets of scientology sound like they came straight from the pages of a science fiction novel, then you’d be right. Its founder, Ron L. Hubbard, was a popular science fiction writer of the 1930’s and 40’s but he made a statement at a New Jersey science convention that made people curious of his […] The post Scientology or Science Fiction? first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .

As the saying goes “ignorance is no defense in the eyes of the law”; that’s why the Bible compels us to cry out for ‘knowledge,’ ‘wisdom’ and ‘understanding.’ Many believers are aware of the numerous laws mentioned in the Old Testament. The Mosaic law was indeed the schoolmaster that led us to Christ, yet few […] The post Laws of the New Testament first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .

“Right now, Mormonism or the ‘latter-day Saints movement’ has about fifteen million adherents worldwide with roughly 57% of them living outside the United States. These numbers stem from an aggressive form of evangelism, having a very zealous missionary program but does this movement’s doctrine align with Biblical text or could it be considered a cult?

Some people seem to get in their own way – I’m sure anyone can relate, but did you know the Epistle of 2nd Timothy speaks specifically of those who ‘oppose themselves’? Many believers have pre-conceived notions of who God is and what He’ll do, without even consulting His word to find out His ways. If […] The post Are you at odds with yourself? first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .

On the surface freemasonry poses as a benevolent fraternity of brothers doing good deeds within the community, however a careful evaluation of the source documents of this secret society reveals a spiritually dark genesis. With over three million worldwide members and counting, freemasonry or ‘the lodge’ is by far the most popular secret society. Join […] The post Freemasonry: Sodality or Se...

Godliness is profitable (1 Tim 4:8), but in order to maximize our profit we must take the time to search scripture and discover the treasure of knowing who we are in Christ Jesus. This treasure is found within the Epistles of the New Testament in more than 140 expressions that document our bountiful Christian inheritance.

Man yearns for purpose but without purpose life is futile. Man’s aching heart cannot be fulfilled unless he knows the very reason for his existence. On a personal level, how can we possibly know our earthly purpose unless we connect with the architect of purpose?

Did you know your spirit and soul are separate and distinct? This distinction was one of the key revelations of Kenneth E. Hagin’s ministry. Your spirit-man is sealed by the Holy Spirit and the enemy cannot influence it. Albeit your soul (comprised of the mind, will and emotions) is a work in progress and can […] The post Is your Soul saved? first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .

Few Christians have considered the immense risk Christ took when he bestowed so much authority to the Body of Christ. If we don’t utilize our God given authority, then the enemy is able to take advantage of our passivity. Not enforcing our authority is equivalent to having no authority at all. God respects our authority […] The post Enforcing your Authority first appeared on Carl Joseph Mini...

Some people no longer believe God is in the healing business, but I’ve got news for you. The same Holy Spirit that manifested His power two thousand years ago is still going strong today.

This is not by accident but part of a much wider global agenda; […] The post Globalism: The greatest threat of our time first app...

When we pray, we must realize that God always has our best interests at heart. Someone once said, ‘good is often the enemy of best.’ Too often believers will settle for what’s good, often missing out on God’s best for them. In the realm of prayer, patience is what separates good from best. Abraham inherited […] The post Trusting God for His best first appeared on Carl Joseph Ministries .
