The apostle Paul begins his exhortation on spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6 by calling believers to strength—not in themselves—but in the Lord and in the power of His might. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10). He then commands them to “put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11). This call is not passive. It is a militant cry to readiness in the face of a cunning and relentless enemy. The very purpose of the armor of God is to enable the believer to stand ...

The term "shadow government" typically refers to a perceived hidden or behind-the-scenes power structure that exerts control over politics, society, and global events. It suggests the existence of a secret or elite group influencing or controlling political decisions, economy, media, and culture from behind the scenes, often without public accountability. In some Christian contexts, this idea aligns with interpretations of spiritual warfare—an unseen influence by powers and principalities mentioned in Scriptures like Ephesians 6:12. Many Christian authors argue that a "shadow government" ...

The Purpose and Motivation Behind the Gifts The gifts of the Holy Spirit are bestowed upon believers for specific purposes that align with God’s overarching plan for His Church. These gifts are not given for personal glorification or self-exaltation but to serve others, to strengthen the Church, and to advance the Kingdom of God. The Apostle Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 12:7 that “the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.” This underscores the communal nature of the gifts; they are meant to benefit the entire body of Christ. Edification of the ...

The history of nations is filled with cycles of blessing, rebellion, warning, and judgment. Scripture gives us Israel as the clearest example—a nation chosen by God, blessed above all peoples, yet repeatedly falling into idolatry, lawlessness, and moral corruption. Eventually, when the warnings of the prophets were despised and the law of the Lord cast aside, judgment came through war, famine, pestilence, and captivity. Today, the United States of America—founded with a profound reliance on the God of the Bible—appears to be repeating that same tragic pattern. The cultural shift, the ...

The Church as the Bride of Christ is one of the most profound revelations in Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the imagery of marriage is used to illustrate the intimate relationship between God and His people. This theme reaches its fulfillment in the Church, which is called to be the spotless bride prepared for union with Christ. The ultimate purpose of the Church is to be joined to Him in perfect unity, sharing in His life, love, and glory for all eternity. The foundation of this truth is laid in Ephesians 5:25-27, which states, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved ...

For all who say the Antichrist is just a spirit, or a religious political system the volume of evidence which teaches the Antichrist is also an individual will be clarified. As the apostle John spoke of both of an antichrist spirit, and the actual person in his epistle of 1 John. Then in his final writing the Book of Revelation John’s visions of the Antichrist are recorded as confirmation the Antichrist is both a government and a person. When Christians warn of a coming one world government ruled by the Antichrist, I confirm this is the true position of Bible passages.

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has positioned itself as a movement of divine restoration, claiming to reestablish apostles and prophets with unique authority in the Church. However, its leadership has repeatedly failed to uphold the biblical standards required for those in spiritual authority, particularly regarding the moral character and integrity of high-profile leaders. Rather than addressing and removing leaders who fall into sexual immorality, the NAR has developed a culture of excuse-making, covering up scandals, and even justifying blatant moral failures. This stands in direct ...

Mormonism, at first glance, presents itself as an admirable faith centered on family, community, service, and moral living. Many who observe the lifestyle of practicing Mormons recognize their commitment to strong familial bonds, their dedication to help others, and their focus on personal discipline and wholesome living. These values create an appealing sense of security, stability, and purpose, which draws many people toward faith. In this sense, Mormonism offers an attractive outward structure that appears to promote a righteous and fulfilling way of life. However, when one moves beyond ...

The concept of the New Jerusalem, often referred to as the city of God, holds a central place in Christian eschatology and theology. It is depicted vividly in the Bible, particularly in the book of Revelation, where it represents the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to His people. The New Jerusalem is not merely a physical city but a symbol of the perfect and eternal communion between God and humanity. This heavenly city is described with rich imagery and profound theological implications, reflecting the culmination of God's redemptive plan and the eternal destiny of the redeemed. The...

In the current cultural climate, few theological concepts provoke more discomfort or resistance than the idea of God's wrath. To many, the notion of a wrathful God appears outdated, harsh, or incompatible with a modern understanding of love, tolerance, and inclusivity. Contemporary Western society, in particular, has been shaped by a dominant cultural narrative that emphasizes self-expression, therapeutic well-being, and moral relativism. Against this backdrop, the idea that God would be angry—let alone righteously angry—at human sin or rebellion seems not only archaic but morally ...

Jesus Christ's designation as High Priest after the order of Melchizedek is a cornerstone of Christian theology, representing the fulfillment of divine promises and the inauguration of a new covenant between God and humanity. To understand Jesus as High Priest, it is essential to look back at Melchizedek, a figure who appears briefly in the Old Testament yet holds profound significance in the understanding of priesthood and kingship. Melchizedek’s unique role in the Bible foreshadows Jesus’ ministry and His ultimate role as the eternal mediator between God and humankind. Unlike the ...

The five-fold ministry, as outlined in Ephesians 4:11-13, plays a crucial role in the spiritual development, unity, and mission of the Church. These ministry roles are foundational to the health and growth of the body of Christ and serve as a means through which the Church is equipped to fulfill its divine calling. The five-fold ministry consists of the roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, each contributing uniquely to the mission of guiding believers into maturity and preparing the Church for the second coming of Jesus Christ. The purpose of these ministries is ...

A Biblical Account of the Second Coming. The Saints Entrance Into Into the Kingdom of Heaven Age.

While the New Testament speaks about believers being judged, it's crucial to note that this judgment is distinct from the final judgment of unbelievers. The focus is on evaluating believers' lives and works, determining rewards or loss of rewards in the kingdom of God. These scriptures collectively form the basis for the understanding that Christians will face judgment at the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing the importance of a faithful and obedient life. Studying these passages and their interpretations within the broader theological context provides a deeper understanding of the ...

The calling to be a revivalist is one of the most profound and intense spiritual assignments a person can receive. It is a call that demands a total surrender to God’s purpose, an unwavering commitment to seeing spiritual renewal, and an extraordinary perseverance in the face of challenges. Those called to be revivalists must be people of deep character, conviction, and spiritual fortitude, for the task of sparking revival is no ordinary endeavor. It involves being a vessel through which God can pour out His Spirit, bringing transformation to individuals, churches, and even entire nations...

Romans 8:36 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Introduction This verse encapsulates the reality of Christian suffering, drawing from the psalmist's lament in Psalm 44:22 and emphasizing the enduring struggle of those who follow Christ. It paints a vivid picture of discipleship marked by sacrifice, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to God despite facing overwhelming adversities. The imagery of being "killed all the day long" and "sheep for the slaughter" underscores the vulnerability and submission expected ...

Love is a profound and multifaceted emotion that has intrigued and influenced humanity for millennia. It is woven into the fabric of human experience, shaping relationships, inspiring art, and motivating selfless acts. While love can take many forms and meanings, the Greeks developed a framework for understanding different types of love, which allows us to appreciate its complexity more fully. Three primary types of love—eros, phileo, and agape—capture the varying dimensions of how love is expressed and experienced. Each of these forms represents a unique facet of love, encompassing ...

Intercessory prayer, a central practice within the Christian faith, involves standing in the gap for others, bringing their needs and concerns before God. Rooted deeply in the biblical tradition, this form of prayer reflects a profound love and compassion for others and a recognition of the power of collective supplication. When the disciples approached Jesus with the request, "Lord, teach us to pray," they were not merely seeking a formulaic recitation but a deeper understanding of how to engage with God in a manner that aligns with His will and brings about divine intervention (Luke 11:1)...

The saints must rise to confront the powers of darkness and even cast out evil spirits who have entered the bodies of those they can possess. Learning how to effectively pray to cast about evil spirits is a big part of what Jesus Christ has commissioned his disciples to do. Christians must become equipped in these last days to minister deliverance to those who are demonized. I have written on a wide range of topics related to spiritual warfare to help equip the saints for this spiritual warfare battle. Let us walk out the Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and ...

Let’s walk out the Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and in Jesus' name cast out evil spirits. Let us not faint at the battle with our adversary the devil, as the weapons of our warfare are mighty in God.
