This verse is one of the most powerful and meaningful verses in all the Bible for you and me. The word here rendered "power" is more literally translated "authority." Therefore, it would read, "All authority is given to me in Heaven and in earth." Jesus has all authority and all power, there is none higher than Him nor is there any mightier than Him.When Christ ascended, He transferred His authority to the Church. He is...read more
What I am going to share with you today will fly in the face of most of the religious community. The reason it will is that it will seem to go against one of the most sacred doctrines of the Church.The problem is that we've preached a "cross" religion, and we need to preach a "throne" religion. By that, I mean that people have thought they were supposed to remain at the Cross. Some have...read more

There is no doubt that the traditional view that is taught concerning the sovereignty of God is robbing many Christians. It is immobilizing faith and stealing away victory. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in the sovereignty of God, I just don’t believe in it the way that I hear most everyone talking and teaching about it. This includes Christians and non Christians alike.The dictionary defines sovereignty as supreme power, the greatest in rank. I...read more
I know the importance of obedience. As a parent I have learned the necessity of teaching obedience to your children. There are times when instant obedience is not only pleasing to the parent, but also is absolutely necessary and beneficial to the child to insure their safety and protection. When a car is coming and your child is about to dart out into the street, there is no time to stop and explain all the...read more
The epistle to the Ephesian church is filled with deep and wonderful truths that will enable and empower the believer who comprehends them and is able to apply them to everyday life.One of the greatest and most revolutionary of these teachings has to do with the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and how that applies to believers now. Through Paul, the Holy Spirit is saying that as a believer, you have been quickened,...read more
We are truly called to be a special people. In fact, the Bible states it as we are a peculiar people. Now by that, it doesn’t mean, as some Christians seem to think, that we are to be misfits, holier than thou, who are no earthly good because they are so heavenly minded. I tell you, that you cannot be heavenly minded without being earthly good. We are to be peculiar in the fact that...read more
We hear all the time on television, radio and in the newspaper about thieves who break into homes and businesses and steal the goods of these places, often even taking lives of those who happen to be present at the time. There is nothing more despicable to me than one who steals from another. It may be goods, money or innocence that is stolen, it does not matter, it is all devastating. Jesus spoke of...read more
Jesus was teaching His disciples how to pray. They had ask if He would do this, since John had taught his disciples. It seems kind of strange to us that they had to ask Jesus to teach them how that they were supposed to pray. Most of us have grown up around church and have heard prayers all of our lives, so we know how to pray. This was a fairly new concept to the...read more
One of the most effective tools that the devil has against you is fear. He uses it very successfully and very often. The main reason for his use of this against you is, first of all, it is actually the only real weapon that he has. Secondly, if he can get you, or anyone for that matter, to be fearful, he can dominate you and steal your joy, your goods, your testimony, even your very...read more
