If faith without works is dead, then asking without seeking and knocking is just as lifeless. There are many reasons why you may not be receiving prayer answers, from doubt in your heart (see Rom. 10:9) to asking with wrong motives (see James 4:3) to unconfessed sin...

When we walked into the prayer meeting, I sensed it was going to be an all-out war. Of course, the moment we got saved, we enlisted as soldiers in the army of the Lord. We are, indeed, in a war. The enemy of our souls is lurking and looking for an open door to attack....

We were about to take a great leap of faith. Everyone was excited about the new season. But I sensed something awry among the leadership team. As I stood before the group, the Holy Spirit moved me to warn them that the enemy was looking for opportunities to knock...

To everything there is a season—and this is the season where witchcraft gets heavy, demonic imaginations target minds and infirmities inflict bodies. Of course, Jezebel and her witchcrafts can creep onto the scene any time of the year. But the month or so...

When I read about the two Westboro Baptist daughters’ decision to leave the hate-mongering congregation last week, I rejoiced! Their bravery is likely to embolden others to escape this radical cult. I expect to hear other reports of people leaving Westboro...

My imagination was running wild. I couldn’t comprehend how someone who claimed to be a Christian could leave town on Christmas Eve without finishing the construction work in my home he was paid to complete a month earlier. I was literally shocked that this man,...

With Babylon rising, cruel bondage is a reality for many in the body of Christ. Many blood-bought believers are running what feels like an endless rat race that steals their energy—and often their dreams and visions of a better tomorrow. I assure you there is a...

You’ve probably fallen victim to malicious gossip through the lips of another Christian. But physical assault gives a literal meaning to wrestling principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly...

Cutting is a dark trend that’s suddenly making its way into the limelight. Indeed, the #CutForBieber and #Cut4Bieber hashtags have been trending on Twitter, a social media platform of choice for teens. After rumors surfaced that pop star Justin Bieber was...

When God called me to build the house of prayer, I knew it would come with opposition. I’ll admit, I never thought it would play out with literal Sanballats. But that’s just what has happened—and often these Sanballats come in sheep’s clothing....

Even people who don’t typically pray are praying in the wake of what has now officially become the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. That’s the right response to the senseless killing of 20 children and eight adults, but it’s time to take...

Lee Grady penned a no-nonsense article last week cleverly titled “10 Stupid Things Ministers Should Never Do.” The ministry of Dr. Mary Ann Brown left an impression on Lee, and in his article he recalled some of her sage advice, which was: “Lee,...

I started smoking marijuana when I was 15 years old—and it didn’t take long for this gateway drug to open the door to many other immoral behaviors. Smoking weed opened the door to under-aged drinking. We had fake IDs and a good friend at the local liquor...

The Harvard College Munch, a student club that advocates safe practices for kinky sex, is nothing new. But its official recognition by the 376-year-old university is. Consider the self-stated purpose of the immoral group: “to promote a positive and accurate...

Just because you don’t agree with a ministry’s doctrine doesn’t make that ministry a cult. In eternity, I imagine we’ll discover no single denomination or ministry had the interpretation of every jot and tittle 100 percent accurate 100 percent...

Jesus promises authority over nations to those who conquer Jezebel—and judgment to those who follow Jezebel’s false doctrine. Beyond the little skirmishes, I've had two extremely intense battles with the Jezebel spirit over the years. When I say...

Just the day before I was (barely) sitting up talking to a friend, trying to swallow semi-solid food after catching some violent virus my daughter brought home from the mission field. This was less than a week after discovering news so devastating I had no choice but...

I used to have such thin skin you could see my heart through my chest, or at least on my sleeve. I’ve had to learn to toughen up over the years, especially in the face of a constant barrage of verbal attacks from religious spirits who sometimes don’t like...

Forgetting those things which are behind so you can reach forward to those things which are ahead (Phil. 3:13) can bring gut-wrenching pain to your soul. I know that pain all too well as I have experienced it a number of times. To describe the process as difficult...

I had never stepped into a church like it before. The worship ushered in the presence of God in a way I had never experienced. And I knew I was home. Within seconds, the Holy Spirit told me it was a “safe place for this season.” I rejoiced in knowing it...

At first, I thought it was New Age culture. But I was wrong. It was occultism. As I strolled through the streets of Key West on a 24-hour getaway with my daughter, I noticed something that I had never witnessed in Key West before: occultism seems fully woven through...

Exhaustion; that’s the best word to describe how I’ve felt for the past two weeks. And there is no natural reason for it. I’ve been sleeping plenty. Drinking lots of water. Getting plenty of exercise. (Enjoying more than my quota of Starbucks!) Yet...

If the Prophet Isaiah were with us today, he might repeat a declaration from the 43rd chapter of the prophetic book he penned. Since he’s among the great cloud of witnesses, I’ll make this Spirit-led declaration instead. Behold, the Lord is doing a new thing! We need...
