The Ministry Gifts – Part 3
The Prophet A prophet is one who sees and knows things supernaturally by the Spirit of God. They are first and foremost a preacher and teacher of the Word of God. They speak from the impulse of a sudden inspiration, from the light of a sudden revelation at the moment. To stand in […]
The Ministry Gifts – Part 2
The Apostle Ministry Gifts Think Differently The ministry gifts think differently from other Christians, and other ministry gifts as well. Because of that, there is a misunderstanding of these offices and those who stand in those offices. • Apostles sometimes want to take over the whole world and get frustrated at others because they […]

Could You Not Watch With Me One Hour
And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? (Matt. 26:40) Jesus Christ came to the disciples and found them asleep. They represent eighty to ninety percent of the church today. I have said for years now, “Find out which way […]
Develop the Character of God
The Lord told me, “Tell my people to develop the character of God in their lives. That is the only thing that is going to sustain them in the coming times that you face.” We will be tested in our character, morals, values, and belief in God’s Word like never before. Some Christians don’t believe […]
No Other Choice But Seek God
When Jonah found himself in the belly of a whale, he was forced to seek God with a sincerity he hadn’t shown before. Jonah’s initial disobedience, believing he knew better than God, led him to a place of desperation. Swallowed by a great fish, Jonah prayed from the depths, and the Lord delivered him. The […]
Pray or Play
I was invited to speak at an international ministries’ convention. I was sitting in the speaker’s room reading my Bible, meditating and praying quietly before I spoke. The leader of the worldwide organization was there also. This individual was gazing intently at their iPad. To me, they appeared to be typing something. After about an […]
Violating Safety and Health Principles with Faith
Some have asked, “Can I use my faith and believe God in any situation even though I violate natural safety and health principles?” This was asked and believed by many during 2020. Let me tell you this true story. There was a young pentecostal, faith couple that had a little toddler child. They both worked […]
Can You Fast Too Much?
Moreover when ye fast… – Matthew 6:16 Can I tell you something? Yes, you can fast too much. Now, most of us probably don’t have that problem. But, I’ve known people who did. You hear stories about it, but I knew a man personally who fasted so much that it didn’t end well. He was […]
The Church Is Ignorant of Spiritual Things
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. – Hosea 4:6 Christians today need to understand the truth that there is a […]
The Importance of Consecration and Dedication
In the past, the old-time Pentecostal believers, though not ardent scripture theologians, were fervently dedicated and consecrated to God. Their commitment paved the way for the miraculous, healing revivals, and charismatic renewals. These movements were characterized by a deep spiritual fervor that was fueled by a strong sense of dedication. “For Moses had said, Consecrate […]

The Price For The Anointing
Receiving the Lord’s anointing requires us to be in the right place at the right time. Elisha positioned himself for this by following Elijah and being present when the mantle fell. We see in 2 Kings 2:14 that Elisha struck the waters with the mantle, and they parted, signifying that he had received the anointing […]
Stop Waiting On God
You have to have a foundation of the Word in order to go forward in God. You’re never going to accomplish anything on your own without the Word. If you’re going to get your prayers answered, you have to have a good foundation in the Word of God. The Bible talks about ‘as many as […]
Developing a Desire for Prayer and Bible Study
God’s thoughts are my thoughts. God’s ways are my ways. God’s plans are my plans. God’s purposes are my purposes. I have a desire to study God’s Word and seek His face in prayer. I have a desire to study God’s Word and seek His face in prayer. This is wonderful declaration to make […]
The Urgency of Spiritual Warfare: Understanding and Action
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. – Ephesians 6:12 There’s a pressing need today for the Church to recognize and engage in the spiritual battles that surround us. The church has been too […]
What Jesus Emphasized Most To Dad Hagin
In 2007, the Lord spoke to me and said, “I have been trying to get My church to walk in the revelation I gave Kenneth E. Hagin in 1987.” That was 2007. Today, we are in 2024. That’s 37 years. For 37 years, Jesus had been pleading with His people to obey Him. The Lord […]
Yielding To The Holy Spirit In Intercession
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25) The Holy Spirit is looking for those who will yield to Him in prayer. He knows intercessory prayer is the only way some will change. The […]
Hinderances To Prayer
Prayer is the missing link between Him, His glory, and the church. The Spirit of God said to me during a time of prayer, “The first thing that should be taught to new Christians is how to pray. Without prayer, Christians will not know Me or have the ability to live according to […]
Permanently Changing Things In Your Life
This is the time of year when people make all kinds of resolutions, promises, and goals just to watch those gym memberships go to waste when February gets here. Resolutions are good. A desire to do something good is great. But it takes more than a desire. Remember that Peter made a bold declaration to […]
Fear, Doubt, Unbelief, and Faith
I was praying and meditating on the Word of God on December 7, 2023, early in the morning. Arising early and seeking God has worked well for me over the forty plus years of serving the Lord Jesus. Mark 1:35 states, “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, […]
The Attitude of the Christmas Season
During the Christmas season, the whole world gets into the Christmas spirit, and people are thinking about giving and receiving. The Apostle Paul spoke about this attitude in the book of Philippians. And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered […]
Breakthrough Prayer
The enemy is constantly trying to put ceilings and limitations on our lives. Sometimes, he even gets our help doing it. Yes, we can put limitations on our own lives and even on our prayer lives and not even know it. However, the devil can’t stop any believer from moving into what God has for […]
Prosperity On God’s Terms
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will […]
Don’t Outrun Your Prayers
The reason there is so much opposition against the church, nations, and individuals is because there is a shaking going on in the realm of the Spirit. That’s why you see the things going on all around you that you do. That’s why everything seems to be a mess. There is a shaking going on. […]
Why We Need The Anointing
Any time the anointing comes upon you, it’s there for a purpose. It’s not just there for you to feel good. It’s there for a purpose. When it does come, don’t abuse it or misuse it. There have been ministers in the past that have misused and abused the anointing and they died prematurely. You […]
Jesus—The Master Of Everything
Many people believe that the reason that Jesus was a success—why He was master of everything—was because He was the son of God. That’s not true. The reason Jesus Christ mastered the devil, sickness, death, and everything on earth is because He first mastered Himself. He had total mastery over His spirit, soul, and […]
The Greatest Subject In The Bible
The greatest subject in the entire Bible – above faith, above grace, above all else – is love. Love is the supreme gift. It is the character of God on display. If your motive is not born out of love, your works will not pass the test. Anything done outside the motive of love is […]
Connecting To The Power
And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. – Mark 5:20 We can have the power of God come to our aid in any circumstance and in any situation in our lives. Jesus came into contact with a man who was […]
