The practice of double speak, the art of saying one thing while meaning or believing another, is far more than a cultural quirk or a rhetorical device; it is a hidden sickness of human society that has existed from the earliest days of civilization. It thrives in politics, in religion, in business, and even in daily relationships where words are used as masks instead of transparent revelations of the heart. At its core, double speak is a denial of truth, and truth, according to Scripture, is not merely an abstract concept but a person revealed in Jesus Christ who said, “I am the way, the ...

The claim “I speak for God” has become one of the most dangerous distortions within portions of the modern Charismatic and prophetic movement. While Scripture clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit gives spiritual gifts—including prophecy, exhortation, and words of encouragement—the Bible never authorizes modern believers to place their own words on the same level as the infallible voice of God. When individuals declare that their personal impressions, visions, or predictions are the direct speech of God, they step into territory the Scriptures treat with the utmost seriousness and ...

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

Origin of Manifested Sons of God The teaching commonly known as the “Manifested Sons of God” doctrine did not arise in a vacuum. It developed historically within the mid-twentieth-century Latter Rain movement and has continued to echo in various forms within segments of the modern New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). While terminology has shifted and emphases have evolved, the theological architecture linking these movements remains traceable. At the center of this connection is an over-realized eschatology — the movement of future resurrection glory and kingdom consummation into present ...

There are many images in Scripture that define discipleship: walking with God, running the race, fighting the good fight, standing firm. Yet among them all, one of the most tender and profound is the image of sitting at the feet of Jesus. It is quiet. It is unassuming. It carries no outward display of power or productivity. Yet it may be the most transformative posture a believer can assume. In Luke 10:39, Mary “sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.” In that simple sentence, we are given a picture of true discipleship. Mary is not speaking. She is not serving. She is not striving. ...

The last days are marked by widespread deception, lawlessness, and rebellion against God’s created order, and one of the clearest targets of this rebellion is the feminine woman. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible honors the distinct roles and characteristics of women, exalting femininity as a holy and beautiful reflection of God's image. Yet in these final hours of human history, the feminine woman finds herself under assault—not only by the culture but by demonic ideologies that seek to erase the glory of what God has made. As 2 Timothy 3:1–3 foretells, “This know also, that in...

1️⃣ Despising the Law of the Lord “They have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments…” Judah’s primary sin was not ignorance — it was rejection of revealed truth. When a nation or church: Replaces Scripture with cultural consensus Redefines sin Silences biblical authority It repeats Judah’s error. The apostle Paul warned: “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine…” (2 Timothy 4:3) Psalm 119:126 says: “It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.” When God's Word is treated as optional, judgment ...

The kenosis heresy is a doctrinal error that misuses the biblical idea of “kenosis” (Greek kenóō, “to empty”) from Philippians 2:6–8 to teach that Jesus laid aside His divine nature, attributes, or authority when He became human. In its heretical form, it claims that Christ stopped being fully God in order to live as a man. The kenosis heresy refers to a theological distortion of the biblical teaching about Jesus Christ’s incarnation, drawn from a misreading of Philippians 2:6–7. The Greek word kenoō means “to empty,” and orthodox Christianity has historically ...

Understanding the cultural revolutions of the past sixty years therefore requires both historical awareness and spiritual discernment. These transformations have reshaped American society in profound ways, influencing how people think about morality, authority, identity, and truth.

The following sections explore several of the major cultural revolutions that have shaped America during this period. Each represents a significant shift ...

Are you running from God’s call upon your life? The story of Jonah forces readers to confront this possibility honestly. Jonah was not a pagan or an unbeliever; he was a prophet who knew God and had previously served Him. Yet when God’s call confronted him with a difficult assignment, he chose to flee. His story reveals that even those who know God can struggle with obedience when His will conflicts with personal desires, fears, or ambitions. The narrative therefore becomes a mirror in which each person must examine their own life. Running from God does not always look dramatic or ...

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 ...

The Bible presents a unified testimony about human depravity from the Fall in Genesis to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Scripture does not flatter human nature. It does not portray man as morally neutral, nor as steadily progressing upward through enlightenment and civilization. Instead, it reveals a tragic but realistic portrait: humanity, created good, fell into sin, and ever since that fall the corruption of the human heart has expressed itself in countless forms—sometimes crude and violent, sometimes polished and sophisticated, sometimes openly wicked, and sometimes clothed in ...

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 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 imprecatory psalms are a unique and complex component of biblical literature that grapple with themes of justice, vengeance, and divine retribution. They are set apart by their intense calls for God to bring down judgment upon enemies, those who have committed acts of wickedness or injustice. This genre of psalms, scattered throughout the Book of Psalms, often shocks readers due to their raw emotions and unfiltered expressions of anger, grief, and a desire for retribution. In a broader context, these psalms serve as a testament to the range of human emotions found within biblical ...

Kingdom Come is a Book written to address the concerns of the modern charismatic movement called the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Kingdom Come is written to give a biblical response to the prevailing theology within the NAR movement, which is Dominion Theology. Many questions and concerns have arisen over the last several decades about the formation, doctrine and practices of the NAR movement. Author, Don Pirozok

The worship of Baal did not disappear when the prophets of the Old Testament fell silent or when ancient Canaanite altars crumbled into dust. Scripture reveals that idolatry is not merely the devotion to carved statues but the elevation of anything above the living God. Baal was never only a name; he was a system of worship rooted in power, sensuality, prosperity, and control. When we examine modern culture and even many sectors within the visible Church, we find that the spirit behind Baal worship remains active, though clothed in contemporary language and structures. The forms have ...

This self-revelation of God as “I Am” is more than a theological concept; it sets the stage for understanding the divine nature of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Gospel of John. Throughout the book of John, Jesus declares Himself through a series of seven “I Am” statements, each of which reveals a different aspect of His divine identity and mission. These statements are not isolated claims; they are deeply connected to the self-sufficient and sovereign nature of God as first revealed to Moses. In these “I Am” declarations, Jesus not only identifies Himself with the God of ...

In a very real and sobering way, the sins of entitlement and presumption rarely appear ugly at first glance. They often wear the garments of success, confidence, charisma, influence, and even spirituality. Among the popular and powerful, entitlement can look like leadership strength. Presumption can appear as bold faith. Self-exaltation can masquerade as vision. The world frequently rewards those who project certainty, who assume their right to rule, who move as though consequence does not apply to them. From the outside, such people often seem enviable. Yet Scripture consistently warns ...

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 ...
