Survival Strategies: Listening (Get Understanding)
My number two survival strategy is listening. You can play all the music, read all the Word, and pray all the time; however, if you never stop to listen to the voice of God, you have already lost the battle. God speaks and He expects us to listen. Sometimes we are so caught up in the problem we forget to listen for the solution. We try to figure it out on our own, usually making the situation worst. I often wonder why people think God listens to our prayers, but we never consider that He also speaks to us. Conversation Read More
Survival Strategies: Worship (Supernatural Playlists)
To fight and defeat any enemy we need to have survival strategies, including supernatural playlists. I don’t know about you but the last couple of weeks have been weeks of intense battle. I sensed the fiery darts of the enemy being fired repeatedly at me during this time. Just one thing after another. Through the years I have developed survival strategies to defeat the enemy during these attacks. A lot of these attacks have to do with time management. My already full schedule is being bombarded with so much more to do and not enough time to get it all done. Read More
Part 2 – Supernatural Provision: Choices
Supernatural provision, Part 1, defined lean times as an absence of food, finances, etc. In other words, not enough. In those times, we must consider the choices we make. Part 2 reveals how you can still receive supernatural provision in the worst of times by studying the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-50). Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt. When we study his reaction to all of this and the choices he made, we find a young man who refused to allow his circumstances to dictate how he lived his life. He stayed true to his Read More
Part 1 – Supernatural Provision: Trust God in the Lean Times
We have to learn to TRUST God in times of famine and times of plenty. Lean times are defined as a time when there is not enough. A time when there are shortages of food and finances. Supernatural provision is not the norm for most people; however, it is very possible. So when does God provide for you supernaturally? Is it when you have a need? Is it when you spend hours crying and complaining about what you do not have? No. God responds to FAITH, not need. Take a look at Exodus 16. God sent manna from heaven each day Read More
Your Past: It’s Under the Blood
Your past is exactly that, your past. As we say in Pentecostal circles, “It’s Under the Blood”. There are times when we think about our past and we wish we could erase some of the bad and add some good things. There are times when we want to hide who we were and pretend that we were born as someone else. When the enemy approaches you with tales from your past (even if it was just 5 minutes ago), you can say to him, I don’t know what you are talking about. Tell him, it’s under the blood. It’s not what Read More
