    The Oft-Overlooked Key to Get the Devil to Flee

    Though temptation may be extremely enticing, falling to it isn’t automatic. We can’t avoid personal responsibility by claiming, “The devil made me do it!” No, the Bible assures that we are never tempted beyond our abilities to overcome.

    The Single Solution to Destroy a Stronghold Once and for All

    Admittedly, I’m a sucker for a nice lawn. I like the grass to be thick and green, borders to be edged and no weeds in between. The edges are easy, but the weeds can seem impossible to control. As many of us know, without the proper care, these often-unsightly nuisances can eventually take over. And

    What You Need to Realize if You Feel Stuck in Life

    Have you ever wondered, Why am I here? Maybe “here” is a certain job, location or even a church. I think we’ve all been there. No doubt, it’s challenging to withstand something you’re not passionate about or be surrounded by people you just can’t seem to click with. Certainly, being stuck where you’d rather not

    Activating Jesus’ Ultimate Devil-Defeating Declaration

    The Bible contains thousands of truths relating to who we are and what we have in Christ, which we should declare over ourselves. In my book, Activating the Power of God’s Word, I explore 16 of these, which include “I am a child of God,” “I am loved unconditionally” and “I am a new person

    This Hidden Spiritual Law Activates God’s Promises

    God is a law-giving, law-abiding God. A study of creation reveals He designed the universe to be governed by a host of physical laws such as gravity, centrifugal force and inertia. These laws are constant and unchanging and give us faith that what worked yesterday will work the same today. God’s Spiritual Laws More than

    The Often-Untapped Power You Can Evoke to Win Your Battles

    Many years ago, while flipping through the channels, I stumbled across an enticing infomercial. This one was stacked with uber-fit people, all attributing their rock-solid abs to some electronic stimulator belt. Strap it on for “just 15 minutes a day and you’ll have a six-pack in no time,” it touted. It had my attention. Within

    3 of Jesus’ Top Devil-Defeating Declarations

    Barely a month after launching my own ministry, I experienced an all-out onslaught of attack. I often describe it as a nagging voice perched upon my shoulder, which redirected my mind’s eye to my every sin and struggle since potty training. Ultimately, these accusations attempted to convince me I wasn’t good enough for ministry—that I

    This One Question Shuts Down the Devil’s Lies

    Have you ever asked yourself, “Is this the devil or is this God?” One might think the answer should be obvious, yet God’s people continue to struggle intensely with issues rooted in lies, such as insecurity, fear, guilt and shame.

    Have You Overlooked the Greatest Gift God Gave You?

    With today’s always-on media, there’s an ever-present temptation to compare yourself to someone else. You swipe in envy of someone else’s success and believe that their style, personality or gifting will achieve the same for you. That is, until you see come across another whose secret sauce is different. Consequently, you’re only left confused from

    The Truth About God’s Promise to Give the Desires of Your Heart

    A spouse. A sports car. A house on the beach. A multi-million-dollar salary. What do these have in common? They are all wants I’ve heard fellow Christians contend God will provide because “He gives the desires of your heart.” God’s promise here, found in Psalm 37:4 (NIV), is an encouraging one. Yet far too many

    This Single Verse Will Pick You Up if You Fall to Temptation

    Temptation is certainly nothing new to the human experience. It’s nearly as old as the creation itself. And the feelings of guilt and shame that follow are too. Think back to the beginning. After succumbing to the bait of Satan, Adam and Eve quivered among the trees of the garden, naked and ashamed. It was

    Just before penning his now-famous advice to the Corinthians about the weapons of our warfare, Paul confessed, “Indeed, we live as human beings” (2 Cor. 10:3, NRSV).

    Why Do So Many Christians Overlook This Common Way God Answers Prayer?

    Gazing at creation, all around we see the results of the power of God, who flung the stars into place, the planets into alignment and brought about life—all out of nothing.

    At the beginning of each new year, about 50 percent of North Americans set a goal they’d like to achieve in the 365 days that follow.
