Catfishing God doesn’t work. You can’t deceive God. The only way to get to heaven is to do the will of God the Father. “This is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes In Him will have eternal life” (John 6:40). Works or being good won’t get you into heaven. You will have eternal life only by faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone. “For by grace are you saved through fait...

You are saved if you have believed in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus Christ said, “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again” (John 3:3). When you believe in who He is and receive Him as your Savior you are born again. Believe is not something you do over and over. You make a volitional decision to believe in Jesus Christ and you are saved. Once saved, alw...

Nowhere in Scripture are we told to have human mentors to guide us through the devil’s world. Your mentor is God the Holy Spirit. You need to learn the mechanics of the spiritual life and the iron for this to happen is a well-qualified pastor plus the filling of the Holy Spirit, not a fellow Christian. Our Lord prophesied the mentorship of the Holy Spirit in John 14:16-17, “I will ask the Father a...

Your power source to stand firm in the angelic conflict is the filling of the Holy Spirit so the Lord can work in and through your life and God’s Word in your soul. “Be steadfast and immovable and abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Cor 15:58). The work of the Lord is your spiritual gift, what God expects you to do in the body of Christ. Your spiritual gift becomes operational through spiritual...

Our country's sands are shifting, requiring you to orient and adjust spiritually. You need objective optimism these days and it comes from having wisdom, knowledge, discretion and understanding as taught in God’s Word. “How blessed is the man who finds wisdom and gains understanding” (Prov 3:13-15). It’s time for you to be spiritually cognitively independent, to stand on your own. Learning and app...

Wisdom comes from the instruction of God’s Word designed to be taught by a pastor and learned through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Solomon told his son “You will die from lack of instruction” (Prov 5:23) We are to live by God’s instruction. The Word of God is designed to give you a wonderful, fulfilling life. This is how to not make bad decisions—get divine wisdom from Biblical instruction. “L...

God’s 10 problem-solving devices are divine resources you need to use during your time on earth. By using the faith-rest drill, (the third problem-solving device), it is possible to have peace and a relaxed mental attitude during conflict. This is how God intends for you to live. “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You” (Is 26:3). When someone is fa...

Putting garbage into your mind will result in garbage coming out of your heart. In a hardhearted person, the thinking skills in the mentality of the soul become dull. Many in this country are dull to hearing God’s Word. This is negative volition. “They scarred their heart from the vanity of their mind” (Eph 4:18). They operate on arrogance skills and believe "my way" is better than God’s way. Ther...

Evil represents the genius of Satan in relation to the human race. Satan is trying to replace God’s plan of grace. If you link anything to grace it cancels out grace. Evil can be a system or a deed. “The tongue can no man tame. It is unruly and evil, full of deadly poison” (James 3:8). All sin is evil but all evil is not necessarily a sin. The mentality of the soul is the battleground. If Satan ca...

Tying current events with Bible prophecy is speculation. What you see happening in America is the downfall of a client nation but not necessarily an indication of the return of Christ. According to the Bible, the next prophetic event is the Rapture. “We who are still alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we will be with the Lord fore...

God’s primary will is that everyone believes in His Son and has everlasting life. “Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom 10:13). It’s not God’s will that anyone spends eternity in the Lake of Fire but He has no choice for anyone who rejects His Son and the forgiveness He offers. Divine guidance and executing God’s will are private matters between you and God. The fillin...

If you die today, will you go to heaven? You can answer Yes, with certainty, if you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:11-13). Our Lord clarifies that the way to have eternal life...

Today, the American temperament is Impatient, irrational, irreverent, insolent, inconsiderate, ignorant and inconsistent. We are at a crossroads in America. God mandates us to deal with all people using His problem-solving devices of personal love for God and impersonal love for all mankind. “Let us love one another for love is from God and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God” (1 John...

Your body will age but your soul is forever young. Your spiritual life is lived in your soul. Your soul, and what’s in it, is what goes to heaven. “Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil 2:5). As you get older there is a change in the arena of contention inside your mind from fleshly desires to now battling aging attacks on your mentality such as frustration, bitterness, doub...

America is under attack by satanic forces. This attack is against the divine institutions of freedom-volition, marriage, family and nationalism. The siege includes replacing divine viewpoint thinking with human viewpoint thinking. A divine viewpoint must be learned from Scripture. You don’t inherit it. Therefore, it is critical you are committed to obeying God’s mandate “Grown in the grace and the...

Expect suffering and testing in your life. This is part of the process to advance to spiritual maturity. “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2-4). God allows trials in your life to develop your patience and test your dedication to Him. You will go through infirmity and distress. Why? On behalf of Christ. “For to you...

I fought. I finished. I kept the faith. These are Paul’s final words. “I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand. I fought a good fight. I finished the race. I kept the faith” (2 Tim 4:6-7). Paul contended with an adversary his entire life. His ministry was one tremendous test after another. Like Paul, the moment you accept Christ as your Savior you step into the arena o...

Rage is a symptom of the epidemic of anger and hatred in America. America is divided and Satan loves this. Satan wants to see God’s client nation America fail. Unhappy and angry people are easily manipulated and there’s no doubt Americans are being manipulated. Hatred is a terrible sin. Hatred turns off the light in your soul. “Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself because it only l...

Love for God motivates the spiritual life in old age. Continuing the series on aging, Rick Hughes teaches how personal love for God sustains believers through life’s later challenges. Using examples from Peter’s ministry and the faith-rest drill, he shows how to prioritize God above passions, embrace His timing, and live each day as a trophy of His grace. It’s a practical guide to motivation, obed...

Old age: an opportunity for spiritual victory in God’s plan. Rick Hughes explores the spiritual significance of aging, emphasizing that old age is not a decline but a divine opportunity. Discover how to manage time, maintain spiritual growth, and remain a trophy of God’s grace by applying Biblical problem-solving devices. Learn how God’s timeless perspective and grace provisions empower believers...

If you think you’re having a bad day, remember this lesson on Job and your day won’t look so bad after all. The Bible records the history of Job who had the worst day ever. In just a few hours, maybe even one hour, everything Job had was taken away (his wealth, his children, his possession, his health), and yet he never cursed God. Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. “The Lord g...

One of Satan’s traps is to get you out of sync with God’s timing due to your impulsive behavior. Impulsiveness is the act of doing something without thinking it through. Impulsiveness will destroy your destiny. If Satan can cause confusion and controversy, he can divide and conquer. The number one flaw in the Christian life is arrogance and often impulsive behavior is part of this flaw. Think befo...

You are in the arena of contention of the angelic conflict. To be a winner in this conflict it requires spiritual self-discipline. “Run in such a way that you may win” (1 Cor 9:24). To receive the winner’s wreath, you must learn God’s Word by means of the ministry of the Holy Spirit and you must understand the protocol plan of God and adhere to its demands. “If anyone competes as an athlete, he wi...

Are you willing to invest in learning God’s Word? It is going to take time and effort. If you aren't, you will be a spiritual tumbleweed, blown about by the lures, lies and distractions of the world. Only if you have a solid, sound spiritual life rooted in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can you have what you’re seeking. “Cursed is the strong one who depends on mere humans, the person wh...

God is aware of what’s going on in this country and in the world. Nobody’s going to get away with anything. God sees everything and no one is going to escape His justice. “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chron 16:9). The divide we see in America has been created by the neglect of God’s desi...
