    On Him Alone

    Writing #4 in the series: I had just gone through revival in 2002. That is when the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart, and he told me that I had not forgiven him.

    Discussion Doctrines of Demons?

    In Timothy we read about the doctrines of demons the Spirit through Paul warned us about. I think I see they began in the RCC, with priests not being allowed to marry and in some fasting rules. But more obviously when the Pope's first began to burn at the stake the so called "heretics" after...

    Psalm 51 Introduction For the choir director. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. David, a man after God’s own heart, who followed the Lord with all his heart, was still flesh and blood. He was still human, and he was tempted to sin as we...

    Many Are My Adversaries

    Psalm 119:145-148 NASB I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord! I will observe Your statutes. I cried to You; save me And I shall keep Your testimonies.

    Harmful Alliances

    The Holy City today is the church, the body of Christ, the saints of Almighty God. We are the Jerusalem which is from above. Physical Jerusalem is no longer the Holy City, for it is of Hagar, because her children are still in slavery to sin, i.e. because of their rejection of Jesus Christ. We...

    Great Words To Change Your World!

    The presence of God is our divine immunity for total security. And one of the ways to enjoy this presence like the Apostles did is by taking the word to the world. When Jesus gave the great commission in Matthew 28:18-20, He told them to preach the word to the world and then he gave an assurance...

    Zephaniah 3:1-5 NIV Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord, she does not draw near to her God. Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave...

    What Paul Prayed For: A Prophetic Parable And Pattern For The Church

    Someone has rightly observed and perhaps curious to know why most of my articles or teachings are heavily tilted towards prayer?
