The second spiritual stronghold that plagues many churches is that “youth are the future of the Church.” Let’s remember that spiritual strongholds are patterns of thought that sound logical, but that are not biblical and are based on a lie.  Read More

The Bible may be 2,000 years old, but it has not lost its razor sharp edge. The Bible is more relevant than headline news and more personal than a text message from your best friend.  Read More

When Jeremiah receives an assignment from God to establish His Kingdom over the other kingdoms and nations, he declares that it is necessary to uproot, destroy, ruin, and tear down before being able to build and plant. In other words, he specifies the need for a demolition process before God’s Kingdom can be built and planted.  Read More

God not only wants you to read the Bible, He wants to encounter you in your daily Bible reading.  Read More

No one wants to live knowing that they have an enemy. Since we were young, we have all been taught to be kind to everyone. Well, unfortunately, we have an adversary who is at work to drag us down. It is his primary goal to do anything and everything to cause our faith to shrink. As we seek the Kingdom of God and specifically the return of the King, our enemy is doing all he can to pull us down.  Read More

If you want a word from God, read the Bible. We are rapidly becoming a generation in danger of becoming so focused on prophetic Words from God that we are in danger of neglecting Scripture.  Read More

We have all been exposed to various kingdoms, but the Kingdom of God is not a fantasy like Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom. It’s also not political, like the United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, the Kingdom of God is unlike any other kingdom.  Read More

All prayer moves towards the vortex of the manifest presence of Christ, and the Lord’s prayer demonstrates this.  Read More

It doesn’t take Fox News or CNN to tell us the world has changed. We are living in a world full of uncertainty, full of corruption, and we are seeing the end times prophecies unfold before our eyes.  Read More

Humility attracts the presence of God the way a low pressure zone attracts a storm. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true—pride repels the presence of God the way a high atmospheric pressure will repel a storm center. It is no wonder God says that He opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble (see James 4:6).  Read More

Two days ago I wrote that to be kingdom ready is to be humble. Yesterday I wrote that to be kingdom ready is to be childlike. Today, I want to help us understand that to be kingdom ready is to be a servant. In Mathew 20:25-28, Jesus addresses our problem of position and power.  Read More

The devil will tell you unforgiveness, resentment, retaliation is the greatest power on earth. He is a liar. The greatest power on earth is forgiveness. The only Person who could ever effectively lead us in a forgiveness revolution was God Himself, and He does it every day in the Person of Christ.  Read More

Today I want to go back again to what Jesus said in Matthew 18:4, “Whoever humbles himself like a child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”  Read More

On this day, January 14, in the year of our Lord 1739, George Whitfield, one of the greatest preachers who ever lived, was ordained. He spent the day before his ordination in prayer and fasting, praying late into the evening.  Read More

Using the Lord’s prayer as a religious instrument would be like biting into a banana before you peel it.  Read More

When we pray, “your kingdom come, your will be done,” we are inviting the kingdom of God to invade earth. We are announcing the authority of Jesus Christ and using the keys he has given us to bring the culture and will of the King to earth. God first gave Adam and Eve a kingdom and dominion.  Read More

As kingdom people we learn to pray kingdom prayers—prayers not rooted in our agenda, but God’s.  Read More

Twice when Jesus gave parables about the kingdom of God he mentioned finding treasure or great value that required making a change or sacrifice to obtain the treasure that would bring joy and success. The kingdom will always be worth any sacrifice. The kingdom will always move us forward.   Read More

As you follow the Lord’s prayer pattern today, use His Name to boldly declare the supremacy of Christ. Clear the atmosphere of static and interference.   Read More

To understand what it means to be Kingdom ready, we must understand what it means to have a king. A king is king from birth unless he chooses to forfeit his kingdom. The kingdom belongs to him, he is not elected or chosen, he is king by birthright. The king’s loyal subjects are also born into his kingdom and serve him as their duty from birth.  Read More

Every part of the Lord’s prayer pattern is intended to be Christ-encountering. As we will discover over the next seven days, when Jesus gave His prayer pattern, He was not providing us with a religious instrument. He was imparting to us a means of encountering the manifest presence of Christ every day.  Read More

Do yourself a favor—make it your goal in life to be kingdom worthy.  Read More
