Jesus Confronted Demonic Spirits— We Must Do the Same When a demonic spirit enters a person through sin, invitation, or bloodline, it expresses its personality through the host. The demon violates the person's will and causes them to do things outside of their personal character. Sin opens the door, and demons align themselves with whatever sin is practiced — lust with perversion, lying with error, anger with jealousy or even murder. But one of the greatest weapons believers

The controlling power over the people of pride is a Leviathan spirit. Pride is inordinate self-esteem; an unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, accomplishments, rank, or elevation in office . Pride manifests as rude treatment of others, contempt for others, and self-exultation. Haughtiness is a step above pride. Scripture warns us plainly: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18. Haughtiness giv

The word jubilee defines a special anniversary celebration of fifty years of a reign or activity. But it is not just a time of celebration; it is a time of remembrance. When God called for a jubilee celebration, it was to rest the land and release debt. The farmland was to rest for one year, and the people would live off the previous year's supply. Slaves were freed, and debt was released. If a person sold their land because they could not afford to keep it, the land was retu

Be Strong in the Lord: A Call to Stand, Resist, and Believe Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might! Put on the armor of God so you can stand firm against the devil's plots and plans of death, destruction, and theft. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but is it against the rulers, powers, dark forces of this world, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places! Because of this fact, you must put on the full armor of God so you can stan

The demonic diagnosis of Jesus’ death on the cross was that it was over. This movement of the Way is shut down. Satan believed he won, but he failed to notice that the OT prophesies were actually being fulfilled. The trial of Jesus, along with the Jews rejecting Him as Messiah, only served to make Jesus famous throughout all nations. The devil has never and will never stop harassing the servants of the Lord. He will use the same techniques he has always used. He will at

What do fear and insanity have to do with each other? If you have ever been on the brink of “losing your mind,” then you know that fear was part of that disturbance. I used to be afraid of going crazy, to the point that I did not want to get deliverance because I might lose my mind. This was an irrational fear; there was no natural substance to provoke me to such fear. However, a spirit of fear was an inheritance from my mother. She had many fears, and so do most people; we j

A woman with chains broken on her wrist Transforming Your Mind: Embracing God’s Truth “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” – Romans 12:1-2 The devil comes for only one reason – to kill

Many people don’t receive deliverance at the altar because they are still attached to the very thing that opened the door to the enemy. Soul ties and freewill bonds can keep a person connected to people, places, events, names, or items that hold them in spiritual bondage. What Are Soul Ties? Soul ties can form through any relationship—healthy or unhealthy. When they form through trauma, sin, rejection, or ungodly connections, they bind a person to the pain of their past. Rej

For those of you who struggle to break out of negative thinking, this is for you. You have the power inside you to destroy every thought that does not bear life and to build ones that do. A construct is an idea or theory containing concepts that are subjective and not based on real evidence. These are the lies in our minds—lies that become our truth because we focus on them for so long. Pulling Down Strongholds “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the

God is always calling us. He asks that we listen for His voice. Today, if we listen and do not harden our hearts as our parents and ancestors have done, we may encounter God’s glory revival. But we must be ready to have such an encounter. If our hearts are more aligned with the world than the word, we are not ready for God’s glory to pour out on us. What Is a Plumb Line? The phrase "plumb line" is often used to describe a time when God draws a line between something. A plumb
