Unforgiveness is a Negative Witness

Why is it that the devil is attacking so much in the area of offenses and unforgiveness? In John 10:10 it says the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came to give us abundant life. If the devil wants to kill, what does he want to kill? He wants to kill us, but

Knowing How Sin Works

If defeating sin is a problem for you, it is important to understand what sin is and how it works against you. Then, you can apply the blood of Jesus and defeat this problem. First of all, let’s define sin. Sin is anything that is opposed to the will or the Word of God. So,

Using Words to Overcome

The Word of God has countless scriptures to show us that we will have what we speak. Our words are vitally important. Remember, life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). The reason Jesus warned us about using idle or useless words in Matthew 12:36 was because our words have the

Faith to See the Prize

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy

Temptation is Not the Problem

Once a man came to me for counseling and was very upset because of some great sins he had committed. The more he talked, the more I began to realize that he hadn’t actually sinned, he had just been tempted to sin. Hebrews 4:15 tells us that Jesus was tempted just like we are, but

How Do I Know If It’s God?

“God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints” (1 Corinthians 14:33).

Let me give you the definition of a patient man. A patient man walks and talks the same way all the time. He walks like God and he talks like God. When you are in church and look around the auditorium, depending on the size of your church, you may see 25 or 2,500 people.

Supernatural Miracle Power

While Peter was in Joppa talking to Cornelius and his relatives and close friends, he made a very interesting statement. He said that God had anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). A nugget of truth that
