Satan Hidden in the Old Testament
A large portion of Jesus' ministry on earth was casting out demons. Do you remember any Old Testament stories of people being delivered? Any instruction In the Old Testament on doing spiritual warfare? Even today, many believers have not had their eyes open to the works of the enemy. Because of this, the enemy remains hidden and able to cause much mischief in our lives. But 1 John 3:8 says that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

Misconceptions of God
Things People Get Wrong About God's Character. It is Satan's trick to get us double-minded, thinking that God sends both good and evil, to get open us to receive evil. When Jesus walked the earth He fully revealed who God is. We must have our minds renewed to the truth God is only good.

Active Faith vs Passive Faith
Passive faith does not deny the truth. It is quick to say – ‘Yes, I believe the Word’, but passive faith too often believes that God can, but not necessarily that He will. Passive faith is a bigger enemy of victory in our lives than doubt itself. Faith can become such a common word that it loses its significance. The Lord wants us in ACTIVE faith and not PASSIVE faith.

How Do You Hear The Voice of God?
Hearing God's voice is a learned art that each of us as believers must practice. God is always wanting to speak to us but it is a matter of us tuning into Him.

Wisdom Part 1
What is wisdom? There is a godly wisdom and a natural wordly wisdom. James 3:15 says the world's wisom is "is earthly, natural, demonic." The world's wisdom sounds good, there is a seduction to it but leads to a demonic end. But true wisdom comes from above and is more precious than gold.

The Person of the Holy Spirit

One Nation Under God - Our Thanksgiving Heritage
Do you know our Thanksgiving Heritage in America? Jamestown and Plymouth were both early settlements. One town was only after gold and greed, and they paid the price. The other was sent on a mission by God and considered God in everything they did. God blessed them every step of the way.

Six Benefits of God
From Psalm 103. King David tells his soul to bless God. Everything within us can bless God if we require it of ourselves. Whatever attitude flows from our heart is what our life will consist of. Once our soul truly blesses God, we are opened to the benefits that come from God.

You Are What You Think Part 2
In a way, we are what we eat. The type of food we put into our body has an effect on our body. In a more true sense, the thoughts we continually think create the person we are. We have to be renewed in the spirit of our mind to become what God envisions.

There is much talk about suffering in the body of Christ, but what is biblical suffering? Is it suffering from sickness, disease, or even loved ones dying? Or is it something else entirely?

Appreciation Defeats the Enemy
Appreciation is a principle that can change our lives. The more we stay in a state of continuous appreciation, the more the door is open to blessings from God and closed to the enemy. It can be normal to stay thankful throughout life.

Satan Hidden Part 2
(Our apologies for the audio issues. This teaching was recorded on a cassette tape many years ago.) A large portion of Jesus' ministry on earth was casting out demons. Do you remember any Old Testament stories of people being delivered? In the Old Testament and even today, the enemy remains hidden and able to cause much mischief in our lives. But, 1 John 3:8 says that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

Don't Get Into Offense
When we let offense set in our heart, it is deadly. How you handle opportunities to be offended will determine whether you grow or not spiritually. Offense can trip us up, cause us to stumble, and ultimately entices us into sin. Offense is something we need to want to get rid of completely. Ask the Lord if there is any area you have been offended, and then repent to the Lord until you feel that area is cleared up.

How to Make Prayer Time More Fun
Prayer is not meant to be ritualistic. It is a relationship with our Father in heaven as Jesus explains in the gospels. Prayer should be more real and alive than we make it when we get into a religious spirit.

Choosing Life
God has set before us a choice: life and death, blessings and curses. The obvious choice is life, but so many times, we are subconsciously choosing death without realizing it. Sickness, fear, jealousy, hurt, and poverty are ways we can choose death and not the fullness of life God promises.

Peggy Joyce Ruth's Testimony of Deliverance
Many years ago, as a young mother, Peggy Joyce attempted to witness to her neighbor only to end up questioning her own faith. The next eight years were filled with paralyzing fears and depression.

It's All in Jesus Part 2

Forgiving Others Part 2
When we forgive others, our heavenly Father forgives us. If we refuse to forgive, our sins are not forgiven. The areas that are most difficult for us to forgive are usually the things we struggle with the most. It is easy for us to despise someone else for what we don't like in ourselves but we must learn to forgive as our heavenly Father does.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping
Important teaching for this hour... a look at the law of sowing and reaping. There are spiritual laws that are just as sure and reliable as physical laws. When this becomes a reality to us, we're going to start thinking through every action, every word that comes out of our mouth, through even the tone of our voice and our attitudes. We're going to realize that all of these things are causing spiritual laws to be set into motion all the time.

Lust of the Flesh
From 1 John 2:15-16, every temptation since the fall of man will fall into one of these three categories; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, or the boastful pride of life. Lust is any longing or strong desire for that which is forbidden. The lust of the flesh is always going to involve our basic needs and us trying to get them met apart from God's way.

Jesus is the Exact Representation of God
Does God send evil or sickness? Does He allow sickness or evil to teach us a lesson? These are questions each of us has to have answered and settled deep within us. If we have doubts about God's character, the enemy will use them to blame God for what the devil is doing.

God's Character of Love vs Satan's Character of Fear
Jesus came to reveal God’s character of love and to expose and destroy the works of the devil. Love is the motive behind everything that God does. Fear is the motive behind everything Satan does. The more we learn and experience God's character of love, the more we can identify Satan's work of fear in our lives.

Self-Pity is a Magnet
Self-pity is a magnet that draws bad things to you. It keeps you immobile, always looking inward, and rarely toward God. When God didn’t approve of Cain’s offering he got into self-pity instead of asking God where he was wrong. He continued down the road of self-pity and then self-destruction.

Love, A More Excellent Way
God’s love is not the same as our love. There is a soulish love and a greater love that comes from God. The highest love is agape love from God, and God invites us to walk in the fullness of His love.

Nehemiah - Keep Building When the Enemy Attacks
How do you not quit the work of building God's Kingdom while you are under attack spiritually? Without fail, when Christians begin to work for the Kingdom, the enemy will attack forward progress.

This teaching shows how to work together with other believers to continue God's work no matter what is going on around you.
