In England, royal protocol dictates that when one goes to see the Queen, one must not speak to her unless she speaks first. She asks the questions; she initiates the conversation. One must bow in reverence and wait for her to speak. It sounds crazy, doesn’t it? Yet, that’s how it is, and everyone must […]
The flesh uses our five senses as gateways to feed its desires:• Sight: Like Eve with the fruit that was “pleasing to the eye” (Genesis 3:6), our eyes are often drawn to things that seem beautiful but are spiritually destructive.• Touch: The pursuit of forbidden pleasures or immediate sensations strengthens carnal desires.• Taste: Esau’s case, […]
Paul goes on to say that we must tear down “every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” These “high things” represent internal strongholds that claim to rival God’s authority within us. This includes: In my case, these strongholds tried to establish themselves in the form of distrust: “Don’t trust anymore, don’t […]
Another major problem with this so-called “deliverance ministry” is that people become so caught up in delivering one another and organizing “deliverance meetings” that they lose sight of Jesus’ first command: the evangelization of the nations (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). Nowadays, entire churches and ministries are engaged in this so-called deliverance. As a result, they […]

“This passage from James, written to Christians, also deals with the subject of the works or ‘pleasures’ of the flesh.” JAMES 4:1-3 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from YOUR DESIRES for pleasure that war in YOUR MEMBERS? YOU LUST and do not have. You murder and covet […]
We need to go beyond the outward appearance presented by this pagan cult and dig deeper. What we see on the surface is merely the tip of a deeper and broader iceberg. In reality, the angels who were bound and imprisoned in the darkness, along with the spirits of the giants, have become adversaries of […]
“Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” — Proverbs 2:5 True fear of God and the knowledge of the Lord do not happen by chance. They don’t just “fall” on us without us having desperately sought them. It’s already been five weeks since the year began and […]
“To call out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way.“ — Proverbs 9:15 When faced with a choice, some people who were once walking on the right path with God opt for what seems best to them—”where they can gain the most”—regardless of the consequences for the rest of their lives. […]
“No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.“ — Proverbs 12:21 This is what I was telling you the day before yesterday: God’s will for us is peace! However, if you have a background in traditional religion (whether Catholic, Evangelical, or otherwise), it is very likely that you struggle with this […]
