 Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, my body is Your temple (1 Cor. 3:16).  You have washed me, sanctified me, and justified me (1 Cor. 6:11).  You make me completely new again (Titus 3:5).  You live in my heart and have sealed me (2 Cor. 1:22).   You bear witness with my spirit that I am Your child.

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 ...

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 ac...

Loving Our Enemies Includes ISIS

Loving Our Enemies Includes ISIS I firmly believe it is important to approach prophecy humbly, prayerfully, and carefully, removing assumptions, pre-conceived notions, and avoiding becoming too dogmatic quickly. Since much of what happens in the future is somewhat unclear (even with our knowledge of prophecy), this should give us due cause to be careful about being too dogmatic and consider the end implications of our conclusions. I recently listened to a sermon of a pastor who was making a strong case for the literal, physical return of Christ -- to which I totally agree. However, he also indicated that he believed that the feet of the statute in the book of Daniel chapter 2 represented the Islamic Caliphate. I would take a bit of an issue with the way that it is presented, especially with regards to ISIS and the Islamic Caliphate. For one, I don't believe that's what the prophecy means. As well, most of you know I have lived in Israel and the Middle East, shared Christ wit...
