Salt In Matthew 5:13 and Luke 14:34-35, Jesus tells us that we are the salt of the earth. He also warns that if salt loses its flavor it is only good to be trampled underfoot. But what does that mean? In the ancient world, salt was more valuable than gold! You see, they discovered that salt had three very distinct and valuable qualities… It cleansed, healed, and preserved. This changed the way the...

Unforgiveness             We have all heard the quote about unforgiveness that says “harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” But do we really understand it? Certainly, we understand how accurate this definition of unforgiveness is and how ludicrous a notion this is cognitively, but does that change our reaction when we are wronged? It is my opinion t...

What am I thinking?   Have you ever wondered if the thoughts you are thinking are yours, Gods, or the devils? I certainly have. The Lord showed me a few years ago how to discern. The first ground rule that you must have is that the devil is not  Omniscient – meaning, he cannot read your thoughts. He can of course plant thought seeds in your head. There are many scriptures that alert us to this fac...

Have you ever seen those old videos of church goers handling snakes just to prove they wouldn’t be hurt? If not- I highly recommend looking one up on Youtube as an example of what NOT to do! The question is though, does that verse from Mark 16 actually tell us to do that? In this session, I answer this question and explain to you how impactful this promise of God really is…. I bet you don’t think...

What’s your path?     Hi!               Have you ever noticed that there are certain times when you follow God, and everything runs smoothly and quickly? What about the times that you follow God and you come under spiritual assault? In this week’s session, I discuss how the path of the righteous is supposed to look.  Isaiah 26:7 {NIV} says that “ The path of the righteous is level; you, the Uprigh...

Happy Friday!!     This week’s session is about how God makes the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult. Have you ever noticed that when you are outside of the will of God, that you perceive checks in your spirit? If you are not familiar with “Christianease” then you will know this as gut feelings or intuition. Some people believe that these checks are the Holy Spirit convicting you becau...

Hi!                           Have you ever had a need that you felt wasn’t met? If you’re like most of the population, the answer to that question is obvious. We all have needs. If we didn’t, it would have been arbitrary for the Lord to say that He “meets all of our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” {Philippians 4:19} The problem is that most people don’t realize that God al...

Slap the devil!               Wouldn’t you like to just slap the devil shut when he attacks and accuses you? Well I’ll bet you didn’t know that you can do just that?! Psalm 22:3 says that God is enthroned in the praise of Israel. {Of course it is understood that this refers to anyone in the body of Christ now.} The word for enthroned here implies that He abides or dwells in the praises. When we pr...

The value of Jesus                 In Matthew 10:37, our Lord Jesus tells us that if we love our fathers or mothers more than we love Jesus, we are not worthy of Him and if we love our children, more than Him we are not worthy of Him. In Luke 14:26, we are told again by Jesus that if we do not hate our parents, children, siblings, or our own lives, we cannot be His disciple. To understand what our...

Have you ever heard the expression “Hunger is the best seasoning”? This is a very true sentiment. It is so true in fact, there is a verse about it. Proverbs 27:7 states that the satisfied soul tramples the honey comb, but to him who is hungry, every bitter thing tastes sweet. Although this is true when it comes to food and eating correctly, it is more applicable to our lives.              When our...

I don’t know one person, whether they are Christian or Pre-Christian, who doesn’t want to have all of the wonderful promises in the Word of God manifest in their lives. In this short lesson, I briefly cover how to do that  based on  Matthew 13:18-23 and Mark 4:14-20. This is where our Lord Jesus explained the parable of the sower and the seed to His disciples. Here are the four steps to making thi...

How to hear the voice of God is the single most valuable piece of knowledge that a person can have. Here in this simple video, I explain how you can begin to hear the voice of God reliably and regularly. There are two prerequisites, however. The first is that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ as your savior. The second is that you are baptized with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of spea...

Meekness. What does meekness really mean? The word itself is defined as humble or lowly- but we still have NO IDEA what that actually means. The root derivative of “meek” in the Bible implies the idea of “looking down.” There was something in me that fought against this definition. Somehow it made me feel “less than” or “not good enough.” Although God hasn’t had anyone “good enough” working for Hi...

Learning to trust God and entering into His rest can be scary. However, it is where we must desire to be. Before we desire it, however, we have to learn how to manage our own emotions so that we can listen fully to Him. Our ability to enter into the rest of God comes in stages. First we begin to hear Him, then we begin to flow with Him, then we begin to look to Him when we are scared, distracted,...

How certain are you that you know the difference between God’s voice and the devils? I thought I knew. I also thought I knew how to ride well…. And for the most part I do. However, in this session, I re-tell the story of how IO learned to ride better. Some time ago, I was given Moses, a big black horse who was off of the race track. I knew I needed to start him completely over, like I would any ot...

In Psalm 32:9, God instructs us not to be like a horse or a donkey who needs a bit to even come near us. If you know horses, you know that most horses {and donkeys} have to have a bit in their mouths so that we can direct them. What God is saying here is that He wants us to be so “broke” to Him that we don’t just come close to Him when we are pressured to do so by pain, discomfort, stress, etc. He...

  Did you know that God has promised that He will bless us in our land. This promise is found in Deuteronomy 28:8-   “The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”    I learned from a pastor named Andrew Wommack that I could claim the same promise of blessed land over my...

God wants to be involved in our lives even to the smallest detail! In this lesson, I introduce you to two of my horse- Rainface and Moses. Both of these horses were an answer to prayer for me. They are the manifestation of the desires of my heart. To receive them, I stood on Isaiah 45:3 and Psalm 37:4. These two phenomenal verses show us that God will give us the desires of our hearts, and He will...

Blessed Livestock                  This week the video is about blessed livestock and Deuteronomy 28:11. This subject matter may not be something you feel like you need…. And you probably don’t, however the lesson itself is about God caring about what you care about. I am beginning a new type of video for the next few weeks. I will be illustrating how the God has taught me His word and how I have...

Isaiah 58: Fasting             What is a fast? Do you really think that a hunger strike will move the hand of God? What are you five? So many times people think that we have to fast and pray because they read that Esther and Daniel did that- even the disciples and Jesus did it. That notion couldn’t be further from the truth. Did all of those people fast? Yes they did. Did God move on their behalf...

Isaiah 55 There are many times in the New Testament that we read of a certain thing happening to fulfill a prophecy, or “what is written.” Generally we assume that all of those “what was writtens” have already been fulfilled and therefore can no longer be fulfilled. That is not the case with the blessings of God. When Jesus came, we received all of the blessing in spiritual places, so the way we g...

Isaiah 54 is power packed… This chapter has something for everyone of us! Here are some of the highlights from this session: 1.    Isaiah 54:5- God will be your Husband. I know it sounds a bit odd {especially if you are male and don’t particularly want a husband}, but the essence of the Word of God here is that God will provide for you all the things that a husband would normally provide a wife. I...

            Isaiah 60:22 is a verse that many people have asked about on Youtube, so I decided to answer their questions. This verse is a bilateral prophecy that foretells of the plight of Israel as a nation as well as Christianity. In terms of Israel, it shows us that Israel, although a small nation is among the most powerful on the earth and has multiplied exponentially in human genomes. As an e...

This verse is one of the most powerful in the Bible. Did you know that Isaiah 54:17 says that no weapon formed against you shall prosper? All weapons, no matter their size, shape, impact, spiritual or natural come from two places. Of course we know that their inception is always from the enemy, but exactly how does a weapon form against us in the first place? The answer to that is found in in Prov...

Isaiah 53         This week’s lesson is on Isaiah 53. This chapter is so important because it teaches us who Jesus is, what He did and what impact that will have on our lives. We can understand that Jesus paid for all sin for all mankind for all time from this chapter. This is so impactful for our lives today because sin is the root cause of all sickness, disease, addiction, lack and even death. S...
