The beginning chapters of the book of Judges record some of the darkest times in Israel’s history. After mightily defeating the enemy under Joshua’s leadership, Israel failed to maintain a close walk with God. In fact, over the next 200 years they remained in a cycle of sin, suffering, supplication, and deliverance. Their sin always …
One of the most destructive mistakes in war is the failure to identify the enemy. Our enemies are not flesh and blood. Our spouse is not the enemy. Neither is our employer, nor the government. Our enemies are the wicked spirits who have set themselves against God’s kingdom. Do you remember when Moses and Israel …
There has been constant conflict throughout the history of God’s people. From the very beginning, Cain rose up against his brother, Abel, and murdered him. There has been continual conflict between the Kingdom of God and Satan’s empire ever since. And the conflict between kingdoms continues today. In the last days Satan is fighting against …
The anointing that is deeply embedded within is what moved the Apostle Paul to pray this over us: “And I pray that Christ the Anointed One and His anointing will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him…” (Ephesians 3:17). We must focus our thoughts on the power of …
The writer of Hebrews tells us what to do when burdens hinder our progress: “…Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on …
We can continually progress toward the powerful resurrection living that the Word of God promises us. Notice the bold and challenging statement Paul makes to the Colossian church: “If indeed you have experienced God’s resurrection power, then live a resurrection life” (Colossians 3:1 Ben Campbell Johnson). This bold statement is not written exclusively to the …
Jesus reserved the best for last. Jesus called the fourth soil representing the condition of the heart good soil that belongs to the receptive heart. Simply defined, this is someone who hears the Word and is willing to accept any changes needed. This person has a listening heart that pursues understanding. Because of the attitude …
The second type of soil representing the condition of the heart that Jesus spoke about is stony ground, referring to a shallow heart. This is someone who has not allowed the Word of God into his life with any depth. They joyfully receive the promises of God but they have no root. They have never obtained …
Most Christians have a burning desire to be controlled by the Spirit of God. This burning desire has the same effect on us that fire has on gold: It purifies. When a goldsmith removes impurity from gold, he heats a small amount of the precious metal until it liquefies. The heat brings the impurities to …
When we consistently look into God’s “perfect law of liberty” we will not forget what we see. Instead, we will begin to recognize the freedom that belongs to us. We accept God’s image of our lives rather than our old distorted thoughts. The “law of liberty” frees us from the limitations of our old life. …
