Prayer: it’s war on the floor
There are going to be times in our journeys that it seems like we are in the midst of a great physical battle. The real war is against the powers of spiritual darkness. The enemy’s goal has not changed since the fall of man. Satan knows the His destiny, but…

fight from your knees.
The key to winning spiritual warfare is from the posture of your knees. First, I need to say that we do not fight men or circumstances. We fight against evil. “Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that…

why are you angry?
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you furious? And why do you look despondent? 7 If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:6-7…

the voice.
Yesterday I was joyful to share that Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows our name. We as sheep, know him by His voice. Anything else that speaks to us through the spirit, is a stranger and we should run and scatter from that voice. As Christians, we need to get very…

I came across this saying a while back. There was a really dumb saying most people my age (late 30s early 40s) will remember. It became the cornerstone of schools and guidance counselor posters all over school. Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words won’t. What an incredibly…

identity crisis.
Yesterday I implored readers to consider the most insidious net, the worst trap of all shame. Shame is satan’s weapon for keeping our eyes on the ground. Shame is an identity we keep when we can not let go of our past sufferings or past wrongdoings. We keep our old…

the net.
When we think of a net, twenty years ago, we would have been thinking about a hair net or maybe a fishing net. In today’s world, we almost automatically think of the world wide web, or as we call it, the net. The internet. I came across an interesting verse…

labels.
While studying Philippians, I came across a man, mentioned by Paul, Epaphroditus. He is mentioned in Philippians 2:25-30. I thought his name was interesting. We can elarn alot from biblical names. If you take the “Ep” and “us” off his name, you get aphrodit. Aphrodities was a greek goddess worshipped…
