Few topics polarize the Body of Christ like the spirit realm and spiritual warfare. The discussions may not be as passionate as the gift of tongues, but good-hearted folks can disagree fervently over the impact of demons and Satan in our lives today. I want to outline 12 points that I believe are relevant and important for the times we live in. [Read more…]
Are You a Doormat for Demons?
No one wants to be a doormat, especially for demons!
Doormats get walked all over, they collect the dirt off everyone’s feet and go unnoticed.
Doormats are passive.
Passivity is defined as the acceptance of what happens without active response or resistance. In other words, what you allow will continue, and it will be done to you as it’s done to them via your allowance. (Num. 33:55-56)
If you are laying under the feet of the enemy, then you are in the wrong place! The blood of Jesus paid to put the enemy under your feet, but first, you have to stand up and sit at the table of your inheritance. [Read more…]
Who Are You in the Spirit Realm?
How do you view yourself in God’s kingdom? Are you still a sinner saved by grace who has no power and still needs the Father or Jesus to step in and fight for you.

“You will never be anything.”
“You are not (pretty, smart, thin) enough.”

Is This Your Life Mountain Top?
When I hit a milestone birthday a few years back, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Reaching 30, 40, and 50 presented no problems. For the first time in my life, I started to look back instead of ahead and upward. Have I reached the pinnacle in my journey? Is it all downhill (or maybe flat) from here?
Don’t get me wrong – I was (and still am) very content in my marriage and family situation. However, pondering my career and financial position created some angst.
Like many career folks, I’ve spent my life working, stretching and pressing ahead on life’s journey. It’s a narrow road that leads to life (Matthew 7:13-14) and I have always viewed it as an upward trek, with greater views to come along the way. [Read more…]
