Life can feel like a series of roller coaster rides. There is the upward climb , the peaking moments , the thrill of the downhill speed and alas, the stopping points. Think of your life. Certainly, you see your failures; they seem to stand out in bold print. You see the successes and all the steps in between. Scripture instructs us to look at what is unseen. What does that mean on a practical level? Perhaps the place to start is by closing your eyes.
Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus
Paul was a man full of zeal. Most would not be able to hold a candle to his...

Don't judge me. I do an excellent job all by myself! I should do this, but I didn't. I shouldn't do that, but I did. Others do so much better. All I ever do is mess things up. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Failure! This is the voice of judgment. This type of judgment is the natural man deciding right and wrong, good and bad.In performing this judge and jury act, we put ourselves in a high place, albeit unknowingly. We position ourselves in the place of the allknowing judge.Our natural man wants to judge by right and wrong, good and evil. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil stood in the midst of the Garden. In case you didn't know, it was the wrong tree, its fruit forbidden. So why do we insist on eating of that same tree now?It ties into the lie Satan sold to Eve; ....

HE HAS RISEN! Who now will govern the heavens? The words of a popular song refrain state because He lives I can face tomorrow. As true as this is, it is still an earthly view of a vastly greater spiritual occurrence. Jesus Christ rose from the dead and ascended to His heavenly Father. The mighty resurrection power that raised Him from the dead seated Him in heavenly places. What does this mean for those who are born again through His resurrection life? The usurper assumed the government of the heavens after the fall. The early church knew with unshakeable certainty that Jesus ascended. They knew their King sat on the throne. His government was now to rule the heavens.Satan knows the power of the resurrection. He recognizes the authority that the church holds. He continually sows seeds of doubt, eroding the confidence of God's people.Jesus Christ is head. The church...

What is the world coming to? How can things get any worse? Perhaps you have heard, or even been involved in conversations just like this about the state of the world.Jesus associated His return with the days of Lot. Why then are we surprised by the rampant changes toward evil in this generation? The Holy Spirit begins his record of the heavenly order of Melchizedek in the days of Lot.Just before His cross, Jesus warned His disciples, both then and now, that they were to endure days like the days of Lot. They were going to have to endure through very difficult days. Perseverance would take prayer and courage, the necessary ingredients to stay strong and not give up. Lot chose to live in Sodom. His days were involved with Sodom and Gomorrah. Both towns were associated with all kinds of wickedness.It is very easy to look at the conditions...

There are countless circumstances. One question stands in front of it all. . . Are you going to believe God? Pressures come from many places. Testing and trying at times seems endless. Often we think if this or that were resolved, all would be well.When our physical body is affected, it can feel all consuming. Living in stressful environments can command our constant attention. Worry and fear over provision may continually knock at the door of our mind. Physical, mental, and emotional problems seem to be the plague that threatens to take us out. Our heart cry is Lord change it, remove it, release me! Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years. The issue before them was the same. Are you going to believe God? Their challenges arose on every front. Certainly they questioned how long God? They encountered stress in every aspect, physical, mental, and emotional. The Lord...

There is a great cosmic clash. It is the clashing of kingdoms! The kingdom of this world clashes against the kingdom of our Lord of and His Christ. The ultimate and final end is established. The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of the Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever and ever! In the powerful transaction of new birth, believers’ extradition from the kingdom of this world is complete. They are citizens of a new kingdom. Although their physical body yet remains on earth, their dependence is no longer on its government. Their source is the kingdom of heaven.How then do we access the kingdom of heaven? In its pure simplicity, as with all things in Christ, it is by faith. If it is by faith, then what part does this declaration by Jesus play in kingdom access?
And from the days of John...

Let the Abraham inside of you arise!
Grab hold of the heavenly vision and walk in it. Do not look to the left or the right for confirmation. Do not look back, look ahead, and dare not even a glance over your shoulder to see if it is coming forth.
Let the Moses inside of you arise!
Stand up and resist. Refuse to let the world enamor you through worldly accomplishments and recognition. Refuse to be enslaved. Rise up to lead in word and deed.
Let the Daniel inside of you arise!
Maintain your alien identity. Cling to your allegiance to a King that is foreign to this land. Refuse to bow a knee to this world’s idolatries, no matter how seemingly legitimate it dresses them.
Let the Esther inside of you arise!
Recognize that you are here for such a time as this. Refuse to consider...

The one world government already exists! Believer you are living in a hostile land! Behind all that is tangible, there is something intangible. It is wicked in its intent, highly organized, and hostile to God. The mind behind this ultimate mob organization is Satan himself.The apostle John tells us that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.i He is the rebellious kosmokrator , world ruler. This word, used only once, is in the plural. It speaks of Satan's lieutenants, the world rulers of this darkness.iiThe Prince of the power of the air was determined to stop Israel from taking and occupying the land that God had promised. He is even more determined to stop the church from living in the good of what they have in Christ.The powers that be, the world rulers of this age, are fully present and active.There will be war if we...

YES, this is the answer, the key to success. I am sure of it! You heard the wonderful testimonies. You read the success stories. The plan laid out for you to follow is clear. You assure yourself that you have finally discovered the secret. Does any of this sound familiar?There are a gazillion diet plans that claim to have the solution where others failed. They all but guarantee success. Do you know that most any of those gazillion plans will work? They will work if you actually take hold of the plan and walk it through.There is an old adage if at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again. When that fails, perhaps it is time for some good oldfashion detective work . Put on your sleuth hat and begin the surveillance. It is time to search out the rascals that are contributing to your failure. Could it be...

Like the return of the Frisbee, it all comes back to you. Every truth in Christ is inherently powerful. For that power to be manifested in your life it must be planted inside of you. It must find a place of residence deep within your heart. The process is important and only you can carry it through to the end, the resolution within your heart. It can be likened to the light dawning, the marble dropping into the hole, that aha moment, or whatever you choose to call it. It is when mental assent descends into the heart. It is then that you go beyond merely knowing, you own it! This necessitates a transaction. There needs to be interaction. There may even need to be confrontation. Often God puts us in between the proverbial rock and a hard place to press us. Situations arise that will not go away. They...
