In response to my last post, Take Authority Over a Spirit of Death, Karen writes and asks, “How do you know if a person has an evil spirit or if they are biologically ill or (in the case of a Christian) walking in the flesh rather than the Spirit?” Karen, this is a great question, and […]
There’s a Promise in God’s Word for You
Are you hurting and trying to process a recent tragedy? Are you in a raging battle against life and death? Maybe you are struggling to hold on to your marriage, or you are in such financial trouble that you can’t see your way out of it, or you feel that you are at your wits […]
It’s Time to Pray
What do you do when life doesn’t make sense? Where do you turn when the pain is overwhelming? There is an answer to life’s hurt. Get down on your knees and pray to God. There is strength in prayer during turmoil. God’s instructions are found in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called […]
Learn to Speak Words that Heal
I have been teaching you the importance of your words, and in fact I have been giving instruction on how to activate the power of the spoken word in your life. The Bible teaches us in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat […]
Create an Atmosphere of Faith for Healing
In a village called Sonjo in Tanzania, where we held a healing conference, there was a teenage girl who had been deaf since birth.

I found the perfect skirt, blouse and blazer outfit needed for my next ministry trip to Tanzania. It was the right fabric for the hot and […]
Be Strong in the Lord
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness […]
Being Patient for Healing
It always amazes me how people are willing to wait for an antibiotic to work its healing into the body, but when it comes to the healing line, if they do not see an immediate result they give up and say that this healing stuff just doesn’t work. Let’s talk about the importance of being […]
Rebuilding Spiritual Foundations
Many people have been hurt by religious theology, fallen Church leaders and other backslidden Christians, or by painful circumstances that have left their lives in ruins. Because of these experiences they are bitter toward God and do not want anything to do with the Church. So, we are going to talk about the need to […]
Revive Your Spirit
There’s much talk for the need of revival throughout the world, our nation, and in the body of Christ. And this is certainly true, but I’m not sure if God’s people understand how to make this happen. We can fill large auditoriums with God’s people, have the most popular preachers and Christian singers, people can […]
