" What does the "psychology of entertainment" have to do with the "spiritual impact of entertaining"? The subtleties of satanic influence occurs the most in the lives of believers in Christ Jesus, when the deceptive feelings of invincibility and the twisted thoughts of self-importance, begins to perversely contaminate and skew our ability to discern the drifting and shifting in our own hearts; and the key to consistently overcoming is by intentionally "guarding our hearts -- with all diligence and vigilance", KNOWING that "out of our hearts flow the issues of life"! In everything that carries the potential for "abundance" comes the freedom to choose or select anything that delights our tastes; the opportunity to experience new things in the "spur of the moment" - often with little concern of the consequence or potential of "interim setbacks" and conflicts; and our normal standards of conduct and value systems ...

The dictionary's definition of FAVOR is an "attitude of approval or liking" that is based upon some identifiable characteristics or qualities that attracts the one extending their goodness or graces to another. "Biblical Favor" is distinctly different because Christ, as our only Perfect Substitute and Perfect Sacrifice, eternally captured the Father's attention and heart, by securing the ultimate approval through His Finished Work; and as the unselfish and undivided unity of the Godhead's composite agenda was realized through the ministry of Jesus, true disciples of Christ become the "beneficiaries" of His resurrection life and power (favor) for all who believe! With this truth in mind concerning God's favor, all self-righteousness and all narcissistic behavior, will cease! There should be a feeling of honor and reverence for God extending His goodness towards us, but we must never make favor about any fleshly quality or goodness of our...

‘Special Insights On Spiritual Government & Spiritual Warfare' "Can God's Goodness Be Understood By His Government?": Note: The purpose of this blog post is to frame a proper understanding of the spiritual (angelic and demonic) governments, so that we may begin to comprehend on another level - the goodness of God, as opposed to the wickedness of the devil and his diabolical operation. Its also important to note that God's overarching rule, creative genius, and sovereign influence is present in every spiritual and earthly government, which He governs in His providential care on behalf of humanity. God's goodness is often blurred and confused: whereby evil is wrongfully attributed to God the Father and to our Redeeming Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Understanding "the goodness of God" is the first important point, and the most critical principle of the Bible's empowering truths on this subject, both to properly discern our spiritual war...

True Kingdom Advancement is… 1.        New Testament Biblical Christianity in the Gospel message and targeted outreaches of the Apostolic and Prophetic Company of believers ( Kings and Priests ) that pray, worship and fellowship together. 2.        “Shared” spiritual leadership (five-fold gifting) with the highest regard for the uniqueness of each function of every member that encourages qualitative and quantitative growth without hierarchal power struggles. 3.        Public ministry governed and established upon the one commandment, “LOVE”, which acts as the foundation for the operation of every manifestation of the Spirit, the fruit evidenced in and through the life of every member, and the radical liberality and freedom of the entire local fellowship - without taking license to sin, by God’s grace alone. 4.        Uniform accountability, respect and support, ...

How can the Church be strategic in partnering with private and public agencies, without ALWAYS having its hand out for grants or public money? SERVE! The prevalent social and economic justice issues that unions, organizers and activists believe they need to aggressively pursue concerning their agendas with state and federal politicians, does not primarily derive from a radical commitment to the “public’s good”, or an aggressive response to the needs of a specific community or neighborhood group (by ethnicity) – which should be the driving force and agenda; it's all about MONEY! Are you saying that there are not advocacy groups and sincere activists whose missional focus is not pure and for the people? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I'm saying that those who begin with that intention, end up bombarded by the spirit of mammon and fold under it's influence; thereby caught up in the system there supposed to impact and influence for Christ.  Although there are many...

The "greater works" of Christ relates to the deeper submission and fiery intensity of our passion for His heart and purpose! It's NOT a greater demonstration of miracles, signs or wonders "only", which in the wrong context will lead people to a greater dependence upon us! Jesus said, "greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father"; but the proper context is sandwiched by Christ revealing that: a) He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life; b) answered prayer comes from praying in His name, and representing all that "He is"; and c) His departure was required in order for the Helper or Holy Spirit to be present with us in a representation to the world, which includes demonstrations of power that lead others back to Him, through the redemptive plan that reconciles the lost back to God, not us! If the ascendancy of Christianity in the earth does not hold Christ as the chief priority and place Him in His rightful position in heart...

The idea that there are no exemptions in redemption by Christ's blood is  based on the belief that redemption is available to everyone, regardless of their sins or how society may view them .   Here are some Bible verses that support this idea:   Ephesians 1:7-10 —  This verse states that redemption is available through Christ's blood, which paid the penalty for sin and resulted in forgiveness and pardon.   1 Peter 1:18-19 —  This verse states that people have been redeemed with Christ's precious blood.   1 John 1:7 and Revelation 1:5 —  These verses state that people have been cleansed an d washed from their sins by Christ's blood.   Hebrews 9:27-28 —  This verse states that Christ was sacrificed once and died once for the sins of mankind. There are no exemptions in redemption,  and this truth destroys the Galatianism and legalistic ramblings of philosophical extremist and fundamentalist, who attempt to add to the Finished Work of...
