King Saul Loved Worship Yet Was Unchanged

July 19, 2015

Here in America we have experienced some of the greatest in quality and anointing of worship for several decades yet the church grows more secular almost by the day. People often pick the church they go to with the worship as the primary consideration. As so many of us have felt a flood of His Presence […]

Prophecy Series, Putting Prophecy to Work

June 28, 2015

0

In some churches and individual’s lives prophecy is very common in others prophecy is completely absent so where should it be? One thing is for sure we have a pattern in the Bible of prophecy and prophets as common place.  There prophets mentioned in the Bible that we were never given any of their prophesies […]

Prophecy Series, Encouraging Words Only Fallacy

June 21, 2015

1

A very common doctrine among some of the spirit filled movement is that God gives encouraging words to us exclusively in this, the church age.  This doctrine trains people to give prophetic words that encourage others and that the prophets of the Old Testament and their ways are gone now. This doctrine is based on […]

Prophecy Series, Does Character Increase Gifting?

June 7, 2015

One thing I have noticed is when a person moves in the gifts of the spirit people automatically equate that this person moving in the gifts has a life of good character and is most likely very sound on all their doctrinal stands.  This is complete non-sense and a huge trap.  The church in California […]

Prophecy Series, Prophetic or Prophet

May 31, 2015

A common question concerning prophecy and prophets is just because someone prophesies once or twice are they a prophet?  So I hope to distinguish the difference between prophecy and the office of prophet.

Revival is always about what a mighty and powerful God wants to do, seeing the His big plans and purposes for the individuals and the entire world He created. Too often we think revival is about our best plans placing together a strategy and idea of what we know from what we have learned and […]

Stories From A Pastor, Side Effects of Pride – Subtitled Prideful Free Agents

April 19, 2015

0

Seems like the pulpit messages about pride are few these days compared to what used to be heard years ago. In times past you might get questioned if you used the word “pride or proud” even about one of your children but not today, no risk at all. As the devil is described in Ezekiel […]

Unappreciated, Living Sacrifice

April 12, 2015

Whether in a local church setting, a work place, or in a marriage there are many times that an individual can find themselves in a situation where they are key to a particular aspect of duties, skills, or knowledge and real or seemingly not get recognized for their part. When this happens we feel unappreciated […]

Is Tradition Trumping The Word In Your Life? Part Two

April 5, 2015

This is my second post about traditions often taking precedent over the Word of God. What a day to make this post when so many are celebrating Easter by tradition and possibly not understanding what the Word of God says. The Apostle Paul said that we were to be happy in any way that Christ […]
