‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

We are forgiven by the blood, saved by grace, changed by the Spirit, rewarded by our deeds, and disqualified by rebellion. This is the Gospel in its simplest form. (Rev three:five)

If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it

The sins you refuse to conquer, will eventually conquer you. This lesson also applies to the Churches, the sins that churches refused to preach about, will eventually take over their cities. (Gen Four:Seven)

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.

Don't tell God how big your problems are, tell the problems how big your God is. Either Praise will break your chains, or your chains will break your praise. (Acts Sixteen:Twenty five to six)

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

One generation's ceiling, must be the next generation's floor. In order for the Church to be everything it's called to be, each generation must go farther, higher, and attain more than the previous generations. This first Church in the book of Acts was not the perfect model church, it was simply a starting place, and Jesus said we would do even greater things that He did. (John Fourteen: twelve)

There are Three misunderstandings that all false religions are based on: Who Jesus was; The Authority of His Word; His Finished Work on the Cross. The distortion of any one of these, will lead you seriously astray

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings...The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.

The God of Heaven is looking for sons and daughters, but the god of hell, is looking for slaves. I saw this after talking with many Muslims, and realizing, their god is looking for slaves. Also, note that the Lord wants to cover you, but satan wants to leave you naked. But, for God to cover you, He must first remove your fig leaves. (John One:twelve) &(Gen Three:seven & twenty one)

If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, ...These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

satan can only attack the parts of you that are not on the cross. Therefore, the safest place to be during spiritual warfare is on the Cross, because satan can't influence, temp, scare, or hurt those who are dead to this world. (Col Two: twenty) For all spiritual warfare, there is the battle on the outside, and the battle on the inside. So, if you don’t have peace & joy during spiritual warfare, then you already lost the battle on the inside. (Rom Fourteen: seventeen)

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness...Boasting is necessary, though it is not profitable; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord.

A good man wants to do great things for Jesus, but a wise man wants Jesus to do great things through them. You can't serve God wearing flesh. So don't just do ministry for God, do ministry with God. (Rom Eight:eight) Because you can be running toward Ministry and away from the Lord's presence at the same time. Also, a wise man knows his weaknesses, and it drives him to be more reliant on God. (Two Cor Eleven: thirty)

For the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Atheism is the byproduct of a Church that shows no power. If your Church has no healings, not deliverances, not miracles, no spiritual gifts, no prophecies, no visions, and no encounters, it won't take long for people to realize that the Supernatural God of the Bible, isn't working there. (First Cor Four: twenty) Many times, the larger a church gets, the less responsive they are to the moves of the Spirit, and the more they rely on man's established systems of success. Another important point is this, the power of God is Christ Crucified, (First Cor One: eighteen) and the power of Christ is you crucified. Therefore, the more you pick up your cross, the more Christ will move in power in this world.

But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.” Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.

The False Church spreads by acts of coercion, but the True Church spreads by acts of sacrifice. (Phil One:fifteen) So if you want to truly advance the kingdom of God, then never use the enemy's tools. Many use this expression, "His Will, His Way." Trying to do “His Will, Your Way,” just won’t be successful. (Acts Nineteen:thirteen to sixteen) And remember, for everything the Lord has, satan has a counterfeit. (Second Thes Two: Nine)

Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

The blood of Jesus was shed to get people free from sin, not to make them comfortable and stay in their sin. So this is how you detect a false gospel, or the hyper-grace gospel, by seeing if it actually gets people out of sin. (First John three:nine)

How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Sin is the dare of God's justice, the rape of His mercy, the Mockery of His patience, the insult of His power, and the contempt of His love. So don't take sin lightly, it is often a form of worshiping the devil. (Heb Ten:twenty nine)

I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord

Without GOD, you can't. But without man, GOD won't. Like it or not, God uses people for His plans and purposes. So when people refuse to follow God's calling, it slows down the progress of His Kingdom. (Ez Twenty two: thirty to thirty one)

Or how can anyone enter the strong man’s house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house

First deal with a problem in the spiritual realm, before you try to fix it in the physical realm. Some preachers say it this way… First, go to the Courts of Heaven to deal with an issue, before you go to the battlefield. This is why Jesus tells us, "The first bind up the strong man, then take his goods." (Matt Twelve:twenty nine)

First, we overlook evil. Then we permit evil. Then we legalize evil. Then we promote evil. Then we celebrate evil. Then we persecute those who sill call it evil. This is how cultures slowly fall into darkness. And this is what happens to any organization that is not standing on the rock, they slowly sink into the sand.

The Spiritual worship the God 'I AM.' The religious worship the God 'I Was.' It's easy to know what God did in the past, but few know what God is doing today. (John Nine: twenty nine) Therefore religious people will see Goliath and panic, but the spiritual will see David and rejoice.

God loves the most impossible challenges, when the enemy has every apparent advantage, and everything looks hopeless. But then right before defeat, God turns the tables and wins a great victory. We see this all over scripture, where God wins these impossible situations. One pastor said it this way. In order for God to show the immense tidal wave of His Glory, He will permit satan to build sandcastles on the beach

You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.

There are 7 spheres of influence that guide and shape a society: Religion, Education, Family, Business, Government, Arts/Entertainment, and Media. Christians must drive the enemy out of these areas, otherwise, the whole culture will go into darkness. When the enemy occupies the government, he is able to persecute the righteous, and defend the wicked. When the enemy occupies the business sector, he is able to fund the corrupt, and bankrupt the righteous. When the enemy occupies the Media, he is able to promote wicked ideas, and silence Godly counsel. When the enemy occupies the education system, he is able to corrupt the next generation. So Christians need to fight for these 7 Mountains, otherwise Millions will perish. And it's been shown prophetically that in the future, most people will get saved, by what will be done in the marketplace. (Matt Five:Fourteen)

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

Your spiritual maturity is measured by how much of your life you are willing to put on the Altar for God. Sacrifice is still a major part of the Christian's walk. (Matt Six: twenty four) Just remember it's for building the Kingdom, not for redemption. That sacrifice is complete and finished.

You can't convince a good man that he needs to repent to a bad god. You can only convince an evil man that he needs to repent to a Holy God. So, when sharing the Gospel, if the person is not convinced that he has done evil, and that God is Holy, they won't understand their need for repentance.(Rom Seven:seven)

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

When a believer falls into sin, a Christian will reach out their hand to restore, but a religious person will reach out their sword to condemn. A Christian's primary focus is redemption, not condemnation. (John Three:seventeen) Though we may pray for God's Judgment, we never pray for God's wrath onto a person.

Prayer is not limited by distance, and the Blood of Jesus is not limited by time. You can pray for things on the other side of the world, and the angels will get there before you even finished speaking. (John :-) You can apply the Blood of Jesus to incidents that happened centuries ago, and blood can go back in time and bring atonement to those events. (Rev :) This is because the literal blood of Jesus, is actually on the physical Mercy Seat above the Ark of the Covenant.

Prayer is not limited by distance, and the Blood of Jesus is not limited by time. You can pray for things on the other side of the world, and the angels will get there before you even finished speaking. (John Four: fifty two to three) You can apply the Blood of Jesus to incidents that happened centuries ago, and blood can go back in time and bring atonement to those events. (Rev Thirteen: eight) This is because the literal blood of Jesus, is actually on the physical Mercy Seat above the Ark of the Covenant.

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

The most prolific demon possessing Westerners in these days is the jezebel spirit. The most prolific activity that gets Westerners possessed and cursed is Freemasonry. witchcraft, occultism and idolatry always lead people into spiritual bondage. And Christians can't be totally free, until all evil spirits inside are removed. Many Christians still have spirits hiding inside, which need to be removed. (Mark One: thirty four) These entered their bloodline from events that happened long before they were born.

People learn more from your scars than your trophies. Every ministry is eager to talk about all their accomplishments, but they often neglect to share the mistakes they made getting there. If you don't tell the people behind you, about the pits you fell into, they'll fall into the same ones. Remember, after every pit you get out of, and every peak you climb, always leave a ladder behind for others.

When judging others, use a velvet glove. When judging yourself, use an iron fist. Remember, you can't get people out of any prison that you're locked inside of. (Matt Seven:Five)

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

When a sheepdog, who protects the flock, acquires too many unhealed wounds, he slowly turns into the wolf. If you don't get your wounds healed, you’ll cause more and more damage to the people around you. Hurt people, hurt others. But remember, true worship can heal the deepest wounds.

The more you advance spiritually, the easier it will be for you to fall to pride, and the easier it will be for others to idolize you. (Isaiah Fourteen:Twelve-Fifteen) One pastor said it this way. The things you can get away with in the Outer Court, will get you killed in the Holy Place.

How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.

The goal of a Christian is to open as many portals to Heaven as possible, and shutting as many portals to Hell. That's why it's good to leave on anointed Worship & Praise music, because it brings God's presence into an area. (Psalm Twenty:Three) But this principle works both ways. As rivers of living water come from the belly of the righteous, so do rivers of death come from the mouth of the wicked. And these rivers of filth can be inhabited by the demonic.

But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

Don't forget in the dark, what you learned in the light. It's easy to obey and follow God when you feel His presence, it's much harder when you can't feel Him. (Heb Twelve:Two)

looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

satan's most powerful army is in the Church, waiting to betray any move of God. Remember, none of the disciples recognized Judas until he made his move. (Luke Twenty two: Three) The enemy has his agents in the Church, we often don't know who they are, until it's too late. Another pastor said it this way. When God starts a movement on Earth, it will often be resisted by the people who were in previous movements, because the un-anointed persecute the anointed. (First Sam Nineteen: One)

Now Saul told Jonathan his son and all his servants to put David to death. But Jonathan, Saul’s son, greatly delighted in David.

If a Christian focuses more attention on the corruption of the world, than the work of the Lord, then they will become more and more cynical and pessimistic. If a Christian has more faith in the devil’s ability to deceive, than in the Lord to give revelation, then that Christian will blindly reject any message from the Lord.

God is not done with Israel. The Church has not replaced Israel. The Covenant Land belongs to Israel. And those who bless Israel are still blessed, and those who curse Israel are still cursed. This sums up a lot of teaching on Israel. (Gen Twelve: Three) (Gen Seventeen:eight) The reason satan so vehemently hates Israel is because his final defeat (Rev Twelve:seven to nine) will come from the Jews.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Don't finish your race with a big head and a small heart. If you put more focus on study than service, you may be headed for this mistake. Remember, Jesus said, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.” (John thirteen:seventeen)

When the full message of the Cross is removed from the pulpit, the preaching will often turn into the Prosperity Gospel. In the Prosperity Gospel, the whole purpose of God is just to please man, and the whole purpose of becoming a Christian is just for self-advancement. In a nutshell, that's Humanism cloaked in Christianity. The Cross-less gospel states that Jesus picked up His cross, but you don't have to pick up yours. It comes from the Verb-less bible, in that bible, (Luke Six: Forty Six) every responsibility and commandment that God has given us, is seldom mentioned. And because this message only focuses on having a blessed life, the recipient will often fall away during hard trials. (Luke Eight: thirteen)

You'll need to go through many easy doors, to get the same spiritual growth as going through one difficult door. Because some things are freely given to us by God, but other things and positions need to be attained and earned, so don't skip difficult and challenging assignments by God, they'll get to your destination much faster. And the more you overcome, the more you can help others overcome. But don't forget, between a promise of God, and its fulfillment, there is often a wilderness that you'll need to go through.

Many Christians fall right after a great victory because they let their guard down. If you ever get to a position that is so prestigious, that you must NEVER be seen repenting, then you're headed for a fall. Repentance, in a very common action for the mature. (Luke Eleven: Four)

The atmosphere of expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles. The more people expect miracles to happen from God, the more likely their faith will draw it. (Matt Thirteen :Fifty-eight)

Don't have shallow friendships. If your friendship can be broken by a heated argument, a loss of money, or a political disagreement, then it never had a solid foundation. I once had a pastor tell me that five minutes of anger has often destroyed thirty years of marriage. Rage and anger can destroy a lot of things, but make sure all your relationships are thicker than five minutes.

Baptism is NOT a symbolic act, it washes away the enemy like the Red Sea washed away Pharaoh's army. (Matt :) Baptism can even be a form of Spiritual Warfare, so never skip it in a believer's life. It took dead people until I realized this. I would baptize a person, and then on that very day, one of their family members would die or even commit suicide. It was how the enemy was threatening them not to get baptized. And I realized that Baptism was NOT just some symbolic Christian tradition. satan wouldn't fight so hard if it was just a symbolic act. (Second Cor Two : Eleven) Now I always cover a person's entire family in prayer, when I baptize them.

Through scripture, we see that God's highest aspiration is to be one with His children. This is why worship is so important, so we can be one with God, who is the most emotional being of all. (John Four: Twenty Three) In fact, it was the main reason God created our Physical Universe.
