The Devil is famous for the sly laugh he dishes out when he sees the saints of God backed into a difficult situation. He snickers. He mocks the saints of God who have put their confidence in the Almighty. He badgers them with accusations and lays the revilement on thick. But, it’s high time that the saints of God turn the tables on this satanic nonsense. For our God will not be mocked. The one enthroned in heaven is the one doing the laughing. And, last time I checked, we are seated in heavenly places in Christ. I guess that means, we are in the One doing the holy snickering.

The idea of "perfection" has been a tripping point for countless believers. After all, if Jesus said that we must be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect, I guess we ought to try and pull it off. And yet, everyone who has tried to live perfectly in their own gumption has failed to pull it off. This message confronts this seeming conundrum and shares "how" God intended us to walk out this impossible commission.

The word "smashing" has two meanings. To crush. And, something that is beautiful. It's interesting how the Christian life is built to reveal those two "smashings." On one hand, we are called to crush the spiritual powers that oppress the weak. And on the other hand, we are called to be beautified by the Holy Spirit, to be a Bride, holy and blameless. When we get these two "smashing" dimensions of the Christian life humming, the power of the Kingdom of Heaven is revealed on earth.

God is doing something in the world right now. As believers, this is what we have been praying for--this is what we have been aching to see. But, now that it is here, are we ready to receive it? Are we ready to change our lives in order to get in stride with it?

The Church finds itself in a unique and exciting time in Christian history. And there has likely never been a time more apropos to rise up in the authority, the power, and the majesty of Jesus Christ. A functional, faith-filled, fervent Church is an absolute dread to the Devil. It's high time we cause a panic in Hell.

A strange delusion has settled upon the world. A delusion so strong that it could almost be termed "mind-control.” And “mind-control” is a fitting term for it, because biblically speaking, the mind was designed by God to be controlled. However, if God is not invited in to be the mind's “controller” then something other than God will move in to that preeminent position. The question this message presents is, “Has anything other than God claimed that control position in your life?”

The Church of Jesus Christ has struggled with contention and division for two thousand years. Paul's letters to the church at Corinth show us that contention and division isn’t a new issue facing the Church. But, it’s important to note that if this problem isn’t new that neither is the solution. This is a message about that ancient solution.

Most believers know that Christianity is supposed to be a relationship between God and man, but, even with knowing that, most believers never enjoy a real vibrant relationship with Him. If you are desiring to fan a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Living God, it is our hope that this message helps you better understand how to reach the top step.
