The Whole Counsel of God (Why we stand with Bethel, Todd White, etc.)

We align ourselves with many other born-again, Spirit-filled Christians in the Body of Christ and honor teachers who we see as Apostolic or Prophetic leaders in the Body of Christ in our time.   Almost all of our dearest Christian friends would do likewise. Recently a movie was released which claims to point out all of the errors of some of these preachers and ministers, using such evidences to make a case that they are preaching a "false gospel".  At the same time, it is holding up the message of Jesus Christ's death, burial, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins.  I will provide this as a Scripture the Lord gave me regarding the message of the video (and similar messages): “ It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while

Why Christians Should Believe for a Christian Nation

Why Christians Should Believe for a Christian Nation  I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—  for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:1-4 Here, the Lord exhorts us to pray for all of those in authority, but he goes further to indicate the Lord's will -- for us to live peaceful and quiet lives.  We don't have to go far in the world to see the impact of how ungodly rulers can disrupt the lives of Christians or the innocent.  Whenever we can stand up for those oppressed in other countries, while making a difference in our own, we should (Prov.31:8,9).  Real faith and prayers are attached to action -- doing something that demonstrates your trust and belief that what you are asking for should actually happen.  If some

31 Days of Prayer and Declaration for Israel (May 2023)

  31 Days of Prayer and Declaration for Israel (May 2023) We ask that love, prayer and intercession for Israel and for the Jewish people would unbelievably increase over the next month and be sustained until eternity. Raise up intercessors for Israel throughout the world. Put more watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem, who will give You no peace day or night until You establish Jerusalem and make her the praise of the earth (Isaiah 62:6-7). Holy Spirit, as you are poured out on all flesh (Joel, Acts 2), move on your people and enlist us in Joel's army (Joel 2) – to groan, travail, and intercede for your people, Israel. Prompt us to pray with our minds and with our spirits (and in tongues). Romans 8:26-27: “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through groanings that cannot be expressed in words.” Holy Spirit, pray for us in ways that we don't even kno
