Understanding Pentecost

Understanding Pentecost

Recently, I saw some social media posts mentioning Pentecost Sunday and the significance of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit so that the church could receive private prayer languages. The very passage referenced when mentioning Pentecost and this miraculous event was Acts 2, “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And…

Declaring and Clicking in the Word of Faith

Declaring and Clicking in the Word of Faith

I was one of those people. You know the ones telling you to watch what you say because death and life are in the power of the tongue. It is with certainty and irony I can say my actions drove family members nuts at times. Decreeing and declaring were integral in what was considered prayer time. When faced with a possible negative outcome in life, it was not uncommon to say, “I do not receive that”, because receiving the negative…

Two Reason Why I No Longer Read TPT

Two Reason Why I No Longer Read TPT

In February of this year, Bible Gateway, an online Bible platform, announced their decision to remove The Passion Translation (TPT) from its selection of English Bible translations and versions. Reactions to the news were mixed, ranging from praise and thankfulness to disappointment and even outrage, claiming an attack of the enemy against God’s anointed and the move of God. Brian Simmons, the lead translator of TPT, expressed his own feelings regarding the decision by posting online, stating that “cancel culture…

How Long, O Lord?

How Long, O Lord?

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 13:1-2,5-6 ESV When David wrote this psalm to the Lord, he was in despair and…

God’s Final Decision on Human Life

God’s Final Decision on Human Life

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as…

Demystifying Christian Mysticism

Demystifying Christian Mysticism

I recently saw a social media reel where a self-professing prophet was describing a vision, and in this vision the Lord spoke to her about ascending spiritually and being cleansed from the past. She went on to share details of Jesus washing her feet as well as her hair while He ran His fingers through her hair. She encouraged others with this vision and shared some seemingly encouraging words for others in their walk with the Lord. Now, some reading…

The Greatest Deliverance

The Greatest Deliverance

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13,14 ESV Deliverance ministry is a hot topic and for some, it is a lucrative business. It is a topic I have discussed both in writing and on my podcast several times. It is a topic worth discussing as there are concerns surrounding its practices, namely that it is only for…

Four Is a Crowd

Four Is a Crowd

I was listening to a short video clip recently sent to me on social media. In this clip, a self-professing prophet was sharing how God visited her in a vision and explained to her the mystery of oneness in God. She relayed how God said He had revealed this mystery to St. Patrick as she held a four-leaf clover in her hand, stating that God told her everything in creation points to His character and attributes by showing her a…

When Responding to Criticism of Criticism

When Responding to Criticism of Criticism

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 ESV Taking the log out of my own eye has been a humbling experience, especially when the…

A Plague in the Hand of Storytellers

A Plague in the Hand of Storytellers

Over the years, I can recall hearing numerous stories of great men and women of God who did great exploits. One book that was utilized for sharing such stories was God’s Generals, and one particular story came to mind recently. It was the story of John G Lake and the bubonic plague said to have died in his hands while he was in South Africa. Lake shared this account in his writings and sermons stating, “During that great plague that…
