Mindset Mondays: I Don’t IMPLY!

I Don’t IMPLY! Imply means to suggest something without saying it directly. I don’t imply. One of my favorite TV series is The Last Ship. It’s about a navy warship that was sent to help find the cure for a deadly pandemic. The captain of the ship is Captain Tom Chandler. He made a statement to an adversary, and the adversary asked what he was implying. Captain Chandler said, “I am a military man, and I don’t imply!” We need to have that same attitude with the devil. We, too, are military men and women in God’s service, and we Read More

Mindset Monday: All Power and Authority Are Yours

Power and Authority in  Christ are yours. Authority means “the power to determine, adjudicate, or otherwise settle issues or disputes; jurisdiction; the right to control, command, or determine.” What I want to convey in this post is how as a believer, you have authority in the earth to speak to your situation and expect that situation to change as it relates to the Word of God. Mark 11:23-24 says, speak to the storms in your life and do not doubt. In Luke 10:19, Jesus told the disciples, “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy (the devil). You have been Read More

Panic or Pray: Speak to your Storms

Panic or pray. Those are two choices we have every day. Today’s weather forecast calls for storms all day; some severe. When you hear those words do you panic or do you pray? As believers, we have authority in the earth to speak to our situation and expect that situation to change as it relates to the Word of God. Mark 11:23-24 says ‘speak to the storms in your life and do not doubt’. In Luke 10:19, Jesus told the disciples “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy (the devil).  You have been made kings and priests to Read More

Girl, Cleanse Your House!

Girl, cleanse your house! This is a 2-part series on cleansing your house. There is a popular book series (The Girl series) currently taking the book world by storm. This blog post is in no way referring to that series. I want to take a few moments to talk about an issue that I believe is very important; spiritually imperative even. Cleansing your house. The house I am referring to is not your body; it is your physical dwelling place; the place you lay your head at night and wake up to in the morning. I am not referring to Read More

Authority of the Believer: Dunamis

Authority means “the power to determine, adjudicate, or otherwise settle issues or disputes; jurisdiction; the right to control, command, or determine”.  This week Hurricane Florence came ashore on the coast of North Carolina. Even though the storm has been downgraded to a tropical depression there is still a threat of severe flooding in many areas. Before the storm hit I noticed a lot of prayers on Facebook and in the media. Prayers are good. What I want to convey in this post is how as a believer you have authority in the earth to speak to your situation and expect that Read More

How to Escape the Dark Clouds of Life

Dark clouds sometimes come our way; but God has provided a way of escape. I know we all have had our dark, dry seasons when it appears there is no way out of the situation.  The enemy has you thinking, who really cares about this but you?  You feel you are not hearing God clearly or not hearing God at all!  You must immediately cast down those thoughts and vain imaginations and take every thought captive that exalts itself against the knowledge of God!! ().  How? Start by saying what God’s Word says about your particular situation.  Find the scriptures Read More
