There is something MORE in the Kingdom than the type of teaching and preaching that normally is happening in the church. Some have called it "Apostolic preaching". A study of church history finds many examples of teaching and preaching that had an impact that we are not seeing very often today. Maybe we've heard stories of the preaching and teaching of people like David Brainerd, John Wesley, and Charles Finney. When anointed preaching and teaching took place, people would begin to weep, cry out, fall down, repent, etc.  Some referred to this as "unction", others refer to it as "the anointing" - what we can all agree upon is that when this type of teaching or preaching took place, the results were supernatural. Far beyond the normal teaching or preaching of their day and even our day. Looking at a few verses in the Gospel of Mark when we are LOOKING for a theme, looking for this phenomenon, such as this type of preaching or teaching, I believe we find ...

Of course, this debate will never be settled, but no one who knows Church History would ever not include this great prayer/declaration by one of the most successful apostolic leaders in the history of Christianity.  Patrick KNEW that the powers of darkness were real and he and his disciples used the weapons that God has given us to oppose the kingdom of darkness, to set captives free, to overcome the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11), and to ultimately see thousands of churches planted and millions of souls saved. (I am thinking not just of the impact in his own lifetime but throughout the centuries since then).  Pray this today - Declare it today. We are facing evil unlike at any time in our lives. For such a time as this... THE BREASTPLATE OF ST. PATRICK  (AD433) I ARISE TODAY  Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity, Through belief in the Threeness, Through confession of the Oneness of the Creator of creation. I ARISE TODAY Through the strength ...

WHO WAS THE “REAL” ST. PATRICK? Most of what we have heard about "St. Patrick" amounts to Fake 'Theological' News. It seems many want to claim his as their own, the Roman Catholic Church being the loudest voice. But additionally, there have been a growing number of Christians in recent years claiming to be "Celtic" and/or seeking to recover Celtic roots, spirituality - and tragically, much of that is also counterfeit or polluted. In short, the Celtic Christian movement is being used to justify a lot of agendas - social ones and spiritual ones, including a lot of New Age mysticism. So who were they? and in this post, who was St. Patrick, the pioneer founder of this entire movement?  Most people are unaware of the incredible life and legacy of Saint Patrick. The following summary of his life is primarily taken from two books about Patrick’s life and ministry – one is a biography entitled Let Me Die in Ireland, by David Bercot (Scroll Publishing) and the other,...

Pastor Robert Jeffress, of First Baptist Church in Dallas, has now infamously said "there is no credible religious argument against the vaccines" For this, Pastor Jeffress must repent. First of all, it is a lie. Pastor Jeffress has lied. And lying is a sin. There are numerous religious reasons - abortion-tainted, unsafe, ineffective, tampering with humanity to name a few. Beyond that, I believe Jeffress has far more to repent of - He denied members of his church religious exemptions. And because of that many are now vaccine-injured, others have died. So, he also has blood on his hands. May the Lord lead him to repentance. If not, Lord have mercy on him.  I have refuted him in another blog post - showing that it is in fact reprehensibly immoral to have participated in ANY of the U.S. 'approved' Covid "vaccines" (as they are NOT in fact vaccines but rather experimental gene therapies).  But he tries to make another argument that I will now refute - the argume...

It has been demonstrated (see my former blog post wherein I document it all) that ALL of the current "vaccines" (they are NOT vaccines but rather experimental gene therapies) used aborted fetuses in their development, their production, and their testing.  And many Christians have been waiting for a vaccine that is ethically acceptable, one that didn't use abortion AT ALL in any way. The buzz was that the "Christian Vaccine" was Novavax.  Of course, I too was waiting and watching. The clear word the Lord spoke to us, to our community back in early 2021 was "WAIT"! Was this what Christians were waiting for??  Unfortunately, a careful look at Novavax means that we will have to keep waiting.  To quote the article I've linked below... "Here’s where we are with Novavax: What has been published seems clear, in that aborted fetal cell lines were used in assessing glycosylation of the Sf9-produced spike proteins relative to the proteins produced in HEK...

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26) We all know, those of us who are students of God's Word, that Jesus' words above in context are related to our salvation. But I think all Christians would agree that beyond that, we can apply this principle/truth to other situations where we are facing an impossibility in the natural - in other words, a situation where there is no solution, where there is no way out, where there is no remedy, or where there is no hope. Would you disagree?  While I am aware of certain voices out there at this time, claiming they have ways to reverse the changes that the so-called "vaccines" have made in people's bodies, most of the responsible medical voices I have been following are quite adamant that the changes these shots produce are permanent and irreversible.  So what do we do? What can we do? Assuming that there is no way to go back? No way to undo what has...

Depending upon one's theology the issue of being ready, being could have very different meanings/applications. For example, for those who believe we are extremely close to Jesus' Return and who believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church (namely that Christians will be 'airlifted' off the planet before a 7-year tribulation), they only believe they need to be ready for that event. One could argue that such a perspective requires 'minimal' preparation.  Others believe that the Rapture of the Church takes place either in the middle (Mid-Trib), towards the end (Pre-Wrath), or at the very end (Post-Trib) of the Tribulation period. All of these eschatological positions by definition require far more readiness than the Pre-Trib position. In all of these scenarios, believers will be required to endure, to stand, to resist, etc.  I have dealt with this issue in previous blog posts, but the universal position of the early church was that Christians will in fact be ...
