To the Deceiver,
I've been silent long enough.
I'm watching you in the lives of my brothers and sisters. My band of brothers in particular have suffered at your hand for months now - attacking our marriages and relationships, attacking our children, attacking our walk with God, our self-esteem, the very words that God Himself has spoken over us.
And I've got to give it to y

What an Amazing Passage!
I've never really paid much attention to the Scripture before today. I
went back to the creation of Adam needs and their fall and really put
myself into that situation today. Chapter 2 of Genesis shows us that when God
created Adam and Eve they were naked and unashamed. Tthey didn't think for one minute that they didn't have clothes on. Then it happened --
The Fall. it's curious to me that they immediately create big leaf…

"God made man in His own image, and man returned the compliment." - Blaine Pascal
Unbelievable ... this is what I've done over and over. My Beauty read my
blog post yesterday and said - You seem adamant. True. I'm absolutely
adamant that I have to know who God is - and that His ways of doing
things, His ways of loving and His ways of living life are far
different than mine. And I have to confess that I've lived most of my
days on this earth making God like I want Him to be - in my ima…

To all - Be very aware of what's going on in your hearts and lives
right now. I have an encouragement and a belief - God has not brought
us here to leave us. Remember today that He is faithful and true. What
He has said will happen - He does not make empty promises - but gives
us a life full of hope and peace. His Word to you is true. His Heart
towards you is good. His forgiveness of you is complete. His Mercies
are new every morning. These words are not mine ... and they are also
not just words…

I have to admit that carrying my cross is a phrase that I've used before to sound religious but did not really understand. Yesterday in church we heard about the rich, young ruler. This was a young man who was very wealthy. I'm not sure why he was wealthy - from earning it himself or from inheritance or his family's position in society, but he was unbelievably successful in the eyes of society (and by the way better able to deal with his life because he's wealthy - that is what ma…

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD. Ps 27: 13-14
This morning when I asked God what message He had for me today, I got be strong and courageous and remember the sword I gave you. That, naturally, made me both nervous and excited. The last time He told me that was at the Prayer Retreat when He showed up to personally get involved in d…

They may seem small ... only 7 letters ... but they are the words that help to destroy my integrity with myself. They are active before every major poor choice in my life. They with me when I want to justify doing wrong. They fill my mind when I don't listen. They excite me when I want to flirt with women that entice my senses. They help me to do JUST about anything I want to do that I know is not life to me.
We all struggle with poor choices in our lives - we've cut corners at work, yelled at…

I have a brother that has a lot of spiritual battles in his personal life. There has been some strange things happening in what's being said by members of his family, and tonight (right now actually) he is at home because his wife called him and told him that his son has his eyes rolling in the back of his head ... and he's speaking in an evil voice.
First things first - if any of you feel you are intercessors and should pray for this situation for our brother - I would ask that you please do s…

There is a small room. Several people standing to the side shake their heads in dismay. Uncomfortably they watch as a team of doctors hover over their patient trying to fix the damage done. Minute drag into hours as the team works and the crowd looks on. Finally, the doctors look up and decide their work is done, but the patient is far from fixed. Awkwardly, the crowd and doctors exit the room - leaving the patient seemingly alone, bloody and not whole.
Quietly two pairs of feet shuffle into th…

Check out this story about Mack Brown - the coach of the Texas Longhorns. It's amazing in light of the story that we are all a part of now!

The King Appears
The Lord Jesus Himself then appeared right in our midst. He took the time to greet each one personally, congratulating us for reaching the top of the mountain. Then He said to us,
"I must now share with you what I shared with your brothers after My resurrection - the message of My kingdom. The enemy's most powerful army has now been put to flight, but not destroyed. Now it is time for us to march forth with the gospel of My kingdom. The eagles have been released and wi…

This Thursday night there is a roundtable discussion focusing on the sexual struggles and our Christian walks. I have been awakened this morning and have been praying for this time that we will meet with men in the Dallas, TX area to get real about what can and does happen when we allow sexual sins to run rampant in our lives.
I am one of four men that will be leading this group, and I was praying about what to say and how to best communicate the message to the men that will be there. I know th…

The Serpents
For a long time, we continued killing the vultures and picking off the demons that were riding the Christians. We found that the arrows of different truths would have greater impact on different demons. We knew it was going to be a along battle, but we were not suffering any more casualties now, and we had continued to climb past the level of "Patience."
It was troubling that after these Christians had the demons shot off of them, few would come to the mountain. Many had tak…

A New Weapon
The arrows of Truth would seldom penetrate the vultures, but they hurt them enough to at least drive them back. Every time they were driven back far enough, some of us would climb to the next level. When we reached the level called "Galatians Two Twenty," we were above the altitude that the vultures could withstand. At this level the sky above almost blinded us with its brightness and beauty. I felt peace like I had never felt before.
Until I reached this level, my fighting…

The High Way
Now everyone had swords named The Word of God and arrows named for different biblical truths. We wanted to shoot back, but we did not know how to avoid hitting the Christians that the demons were riding on. Then it occurred to us that if these Christians were hit with Truth, they would wake up and fight off their oppressors. I fored off a few arrows, as did some of the others. Almost all the arrows hit Christians. However, when the arrows of Truth went into them, they did not…

The Battle Begins
Then I turned and saw the army of the Lord standing behind me. There were thousands of soldiers, but they were still greatly outnumbered. I was shocked and disheartened, for it seemed there were actually may more Christians being used by the evil one than there were in the army of the Lord. I knew that the battle about to begin was going to be viewed as the Great Christian Civil War because very few would understand the dark powers that were behind the impending conflict…

The Prisoners
"Trailing behind these first divisions was a multitude of other Christians who were prisoners of this army. All of these captive Christians were wounded, and they were guarded by smaller demons of Fear. There seemed to be more prisoners than there were demons in the army.
Surprisingly, these prisoners still had their swords and shields, but they did not use them. It was a shock to see that so many could be kept captive by so few of the little demons of Fear. If the Christia…

I'm reading a book from a man that had a vision that is truly a great picture of spiritual warfare to me. I thought I would begin sharing this on my blog each day. The book is called
The Final Quest. It is by Rick Joyner. I hope you enjoy this picture of spiritual warfare as I did.
Part 1 - The Hordes of Hell are Marching
The demonic army was so large that it stretched as far as I could see. It was separated into division,s, with each carrying a different banner. The foremost divi…

This is from an amazing little book that I'm reading called
The Final Quest by Rick Joyner.
"Month later, I sat pondering this dream. Alarmingly, certain events and conditions in the church had already seemed to parallel what I had seen when the hordes from hell began to march. I was then reminded of Abraham Lincoln. The only way he could become a great emancipator and the preserver of the Union was to be willing to fight a Civil War. Not only did he have to fight it, but he had to be de…

Sometimes I believe that I expect too much of myself too quickly. On October 23rd, I experienced the renewal of my heart with God. My heart really came alive for the first time in a decade. I'm certain that I will be speaking more about that in future posts, but last night is what is on my heart.
I spent a large portion of time last night allowing myself to feel the weight of the sin and of my choices in life. I reflected on how my sin and the depths to which I allowed my sexual issues to contr…
