3 Satanic Traps to Avoid

As we know, Satan has established an evil spiritual kingdom as a rival to God’s kingdom. He rules over fallen angels and demonic spirits and incites them to seek to establish footholds in our minds and hearts. Here are 3 common Satanic traps we need to both discern and avoid. 1. Disguises and Masquerade Parties Falseness and deceit are part of the fallen human condition. Scripture warns us against status-seeking people within the church who claim to be more anointed and righteous than they really are, who masquerade as men and women of strength and integrity but who are nothing like that [...]

Martha, The Unsung Hero

Sometimes, I think Martha in the Bible gets a bad rap! I am not saying that Jesus labeled Martha at all. Please hear me out. But I think we would be wise to avoid picking up and holding onto some of the dynamics in this potential sibling rivalry between Martha and Mary. Sometimes we insert ourselves into the narrative, and we can twist it, and subconsciously view Martha with a negative connotation. I want to take a moment and give you a positive perspective that may redeem Martha’s reputation. Because, over the years I have learned that Martha is an unsung hero. [...]

The Power of Coming into Agreement

Jesus told us to persist—continuously and tirelessly—in asking, seeking, and knocking on the doors of heaven. The New Living Translation emphasizes the ongoing action of Jesus’ words: “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and you will the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Luke 11:9-10 NLT) Keep on doing it. Keep on keeping on. Keep on praying! I also want to urge you [...]

The Keys to Increase: Faithfulness and Divine Intelligence

Do you want to grow and increase in your sphere of influence? These two keys will make all the difference: faithfulness and divine intelligence. Biblically, I don't know of any greater example of this than Daniel and his friends. No matter what circumstances or negative situations were thrown at Daniel, he was faithful. He didn't waiver or change his values or integrity. He always looked out for the best interests of the ones he served. God responded to this by adding to Daniel's efforts a multiplier. He blessed Daniel and his friends with divine intelligence. Scripture says God gave them knowledge and [...]

Conspiring (Co-Inspiring) with God through Prayer and Prophecy

A lot of people have conspiracy theories, but did you know that there is a real dimension of co-inspiring, or conspiring with God? It is an invitation into God’s strategic plan. Conspiring is a form of partnering with God. This realm is best expressed in prophecy and prayer—and combined together in prophetic intercession. What exactly does this mean? The word conspire means “to breathe together.” According to Genesis 2:7, “When God created man from the dust of the earth, He breathed into his nostrils, the breath of life, a man became a living being.”  This Hebrew word that we translate “breathed” can [...]

How to Pray for People in Authority

We all know that scripture tells us to pray for those in authority. To those who possess the fear of the Lord, that is not to be taken lightly, even if we understand nothing else. But why should be pray? Who exactly is our authority? And what should we pray? Why Pray for Those in Authority? Prayers for people who are in positions of authority have high priority in the heart of God. We see this in Scriptures such as 1 Timothy 2:1–4, “I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and [...]
