DEFEATING THE LIES OF THE ENEMY I just blew it by getting frustrated with a family member and returned hurtful words with my own hurtful darts in response. As soon as I said these words, I knew they hit their mark and I had hurt someone I love dearly. I desperately wanted to change how I responded in anger and how I felt, but that’s not the real issue. I realize I need to change what I believe. 2 Corinthians…

The Forgotten Person Of The Trinity (Series) Romans 8:5-6    Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.   Experience healing, wholeness, joy, and peace of mind through the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

The Cost Of Rebelling Against God  When speaking about ungodly people, who pervert God’s word,                                                       to get what they want, Jude, James’ brother wrote Jude 1:11 about three C men, Cain, Balaam, and Korah, who rebelled against God’s authority.   Jude 1:11   Woe to them!  They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error;  they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. Being religious without faith is the “way of Cain”. It is the way of pride,…

Which Door Will You Choose? John 10:9-10   I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  When Jesus said, “I am the door,” He was stating Eastern custom of shepherds guarding the sheep by acting as a gatekeeper by spending the night lying down across…

The Blessings Of Obeying The LordActs 10:43 All the prophets testify about Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him [whoever trusts in and relies on Him, accepting Him as Savior and Messiah] receives forgiveness of sins.” Even if you can fool everyone else, you can’t fool yourself for very long and you can never fool God. If you violate your own conscience, you’ll have to pay a serious price for that. But if you allow God’s truth…
