Have you ever wondered how men and women of God move in great power? The answer is a combination of their personal walk with God (the inner anointing), and the anointing that God has released over them to fulfill a purpose (outer anointing). The outer anointing comes upon us for service and is often the result

Safe shelter.  Plenty to eat. A choice of clothes.  Shoes on my feet. A loving family.  A comfortable bed. Friends to laugh with.  Pillows for my head. They are simple things that I’m thankful for And each year I appreciate them more  Eyesight to see.  Books I can read. Doctors close by to help when

You are meant to live with a sound mind, full of God’s power and love. You are to be so full of the Holy Spirit and the presence of God that everywhere you go, God leaks out and gets onto others. People are to be transformed by being around you because you are so radiant

See the scene. You are ready to be brave. You’ve heard of the power of vulnerability and being your true self because God loves you no matter what. You step out and say something brave to your family and BAM – you hear the replies: “You’re weird” or “Okay…. Whatever….” or “Are you serious?! Did

Do you prefer the presence and power of Jesus Christ over the demonic realm? You may immediately answer yes; however, I would caution that we get comfortable with what we live with.

It is no coincidence that this morning we experience a blood moon visible to North America on election morning. The Scriptures repeatedly state that God will show wonders and signs in the heavens before the second coming of Christ. “I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and

If pride is not dealt with, it will introduce into our lives, a bolder and more arrogant emotion called pretension. It’s what pride becomes when we start believing we are invincible and don’t need God. Pretension is when an inflated sense of self-importance takes over our lives.

Most of us have encountered sacred cows. They are the things, programs, even deeply seated beliefs so enshrined in our minds they are blindly embraced as truth or essential to our faith. We may not realize it, until someone questions or tries to change them. Then our opposition can be stiff and vicious. They can

Being prideful is not just an attitude. It’s also an emotion God hates. It’s the emotion that He wants us to ditch, and He tells us exactly how to do that in His Word. Pride is the foundational emotion on which all other emotions, which lead to sin, are built. Pride says, “I’m number one,

Probably the most well-known name for the Holy Spirit is the Paraclete, often translated as the Counselor or Advocate. He is a personal helper. The Holy Spirit is the ever-present, ever-welcome, divine Paraclete (Comforter/Counselor). No English word adequately translates the Greek word parakletos, according to A.L.

The definition of “the baptism with the Holy Spirit” is the reception of the Holy Spirit as confirmed by speaking in tongues. Many people wonder why we use the term “baptism.” David du Plessis, in The Spirit Bade Me Go, explains that God gave the word to John the Baptist when John told the people,

Are you hungry for the gifts of the Spirit? Do you long to see the gifts of the Spirit manifest in everyday life in ways that impact the world and bring people to Jesus? I know I do. Paul the apostle told us to eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit (see 1 Cor. 14:1).
