As long as “the devil made me do it” exists within the 4-walls of the church, darkness, depravity and defeat will render God’s people - in a state of excuse for untamed lust, deflective irresponsibility and ruinous deception, because - Holy Spirit is either grieved or quenched in the life of the believer, due to "flesh" glorying in His presence. "Satan" means adversary – to "divine" purpose (to worship God), to "divine" design (to be made in HIS image and after HIS likeness), and to "divine" destiny (to steward the earth) – which are all, connected as one. In I Peter 5:8, the Bible says, “Be sober (self-controlled), be vigilant (watchful), because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he my devour." READ : Revelations 12:7-12, Isaiah 14:12-17 (verse 16), John 10:10, I John 4:1-4 Satan, playing or fulfilling his role as "deceiver", is able to kill, steal and destroy - where an indi...

In order for the Universal Church in the 21st Century to remain relevant and respondent to Christ's Inexhaustible Headship in the present reformation, we must be "apostolic" in our theology and operation - to SEE the government of God influence and impact our local fellowships, our communities, and the nations for God's Glory! A church is an "apostolic house" when their desires to produce an "apostolic mindset" or servant-hearted attitude, and the prophetic thrust that guarantees God's Power and Presence as an extension of Christ's ministry in the earth, will experience the increasing and intensifying weight of His Personhood, in transforming His people into His likeness, more and more! The "manifesting sons" cooperatively align and agree with Christ as His ambassadorial representatives that take the mandate to occupy and disciple the nations to heart. We sacrifice, serve and suffer for righteousness sake until Christ return...

This morning at approximately 4:30am, I woke up to hearing the words "The Harvest" - which directly connected me back to words I heard and received from my global accountability (spiritually speaking)through Papa Lyle Randles of Life Connections Int'l , who lives in Santa Monica, California. Papa Lyle reminded me of both the explicit use and timely nature of my obedience to be "harvest-minded", and not to allow anything else to distract me in this season - that is pregnant with God's purpose for reaching the world for His glory and honor.  This exchange that he and I had several weeks back during our normal conferencing time, reminded me of this powerful word that my wife (Charlene) and I received in 2005 during an explosive time of intercessory-worship; while simply seeking the Lord as our normal routine. In the months to come, God is showing me that the substance of this word below is going to be accelerated till its final completion in my life! This...

"As long as my people seek to control My presence, as if you're the authorizing agency in the way it is dispensed and released, only a shadow or fragment of My power is able to reach and touch the people; who desperately need My healing hand to be revealed on every occasion that you corporately meet. My people are "channels and vessels", but you are NOT "manufacturers and manipulators" - if you permit your transparency and open hearts to be the source of everything that you represent "of Me" before the people. This casual acquaintance and disingenuousness can "claim an experience" with My presence - and get an emotional response from My people, but truly shares no intimate bond or understanding of "why your access and entrance" into the Holy of Holies is without restriction or limitation; and, its ONLY because of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. The dissidence or clamor that comes from confused agendas in church, is f...

" 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...
