"THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE"
THE HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK IN JEREMIAH: God’s call and anointing upon Jeremiah’s life as a prophet began in the womb. God reveals to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC). This reveals that the…

"THERE'S DANGER IN TWISTING SCRIPTURE!"
Deuteronomy 4:2, “Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you.

"Beware of What 'SEEMS' Right!"
Proverbs 16:25, “Sometimes what SEEMS right is really a road to death.” (CEV) “Seems” is defined as “to give the impression of being; appear; feels like; or comes across as“) In other words, it’s not a fact or the truth, just an impression or appearance. Two other versions say it like this: Proverbs 16:25, “Some people THINK they are doing right, but in the end it leads to death.” (NCV); and…

"Is Jesus IN You?"
2 Corinthians 13:5, “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves [not Christ]. Do you not yourselves realize and know [thoroughly by an ever-increasing experience] that JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU—UNLESS you are [counterfeits] disapproved on trial and rejected?” (AMPC) Lydia’s grandson was…

"DON'T WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING TO THANK HIM!"
Read: 1 Chronicles 16:7-36 “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever” (1 Chronicles 16:34 AMP) We often think of Gratitude in terms of Gain: Someone gives you a ride to work. A neighbor cooks a meal when you’ve had surgery. Your boss notices your hard work and gives you a raise. The kids clean up the house or your husband cooks dinner. For…

"THE BENEFITS OF FASTING"
WHY DO WE FAST? There are different kind of fasts. There are private fasts that you do privately: Matthew 6:16-18, “And whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy and sour and dreary like the hypocrites, for they put on a dismal countenance, that their fasting may be apparent to and seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full already. But when you fast, perfume your head…

"SYMPTOMS OF DEMONIC OPPRESSION"
The subject of mental illness is very controversial in Christian circles. Inside the extreme schools of thought we find balance and a scriptural viewpoint. First, let me say clearly, all mental illness is NOT the result of demonic attack. Further, good psychological care from Christian professionals is vital and in order when an individual is struggling. Also, professionally administered…

"CONFRONTING THE ENEMY'S TACTICS!"
Psalm 144:1, “Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my keen and firm Strength, Who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight” (AMPC) The main tactic of the enemy is deception. “Deception” is defined as, “the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid; to trick; to cheat; to defraud; to be dishonest.” And that’s exactly who the enemy is, a deceiver, liar and the…

"HOW TO SAVE YOUR CHILD?"
1 Samuel 1:27-28, “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted my petition made to Him. Therefore I HAVE GIVEN HIM TO THE LORD; AS LONG AS HE LIVES HE IS GIVEN TO THE LORD. And they worshiped the Lord there.” (AMPC) It was so dramatic that the cable news networks just kept replaying the video. A mother and her baby were trapped in a burning building. Some people saw the mother leaning out…

“DON’T SAVE THE FLOWERS FOR THEIR FUNERAL”
1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage and comfort one another and build up one another, just as you are doing.” (AMP) If it’s one day I remember vividly it is the day it aired that our beloved Princess Diana had died. Yet, when Princess Diana died, I still don’t believe anyone could have ever predicted the massive public outpouring of love and grief that came from the British people in the…

"PRACTICE SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE"
If I were to choose the most important thing as the key that has kept my marriage united and healthy, I would have to say it is loving my husband and family more than myself and practicing spiritual warfare EVERY DAY! Since we are spiritual beings, we cannot direct our combat against a human person. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, “For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and…

"THE DANGEROUS ROOTS OF INSECURITY AND INFERIORITY IN LEADERSHIP"
Insecurity and inferiority have torn many great men of God from their positions of honor and anointing. They start so strong and humble before God, but their lives end in destruction. Probably one of the best examples in Scripture is the story of Saul and David. Saul had been anointed king over Israel, and the Spirit of God was upon him: 1 Samuel 9:15-16, “Now a day before Saul came, the Lord had…
