“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You…
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25 It is a comforting thing to know that Jesus Christ is ever interceding for those who have trusted in Him for salvation and eternal life. It is also comforting and encouraging to know that when Satan brings accusations against those of us who are in Christ, his accusations are not entertained or given…
As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you…
Long my imprisoned spirit layFast bound in sin and nature’s night;Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray,I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;My chains fell off, my heart was free;I rose, went forth and followed Thee. Amazing love! how can it beThat Thou, my God, should die for me? It was on May 15, 2019, that my family and I began our exit out of what we would come to know as the New Apostolic Reformation. In that moment, all that…
A self -professing apostle stands on a platform in various gatherings while children are brought before her. The parents are bringing their children forward in order to seek out deliverance from indwelling demons. Some of the children writhe on the floor and scream. Some children react passively to the countdown to three for the demons to leave. The minister tells the people that children can have indwelling demons as well, and they need deliverance from inhabiting demons. There is even…
Have you ever looked back on something you said or did and thanked the Lord for correcting you in your sin and error, when you rightfully deserved judgment? We all have moments, even on a daily basis, where we thank God for His grace and mercy toward us, and many of us could say that such sin and error are not available for public scrutiny. Over the past several years, one of the things that became painfully clear personally was…
The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:14,15 The deliverance movement seems to never run out of…
Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, freely submitting to, and taking delight in God’s wise, and fatherly disposal in every condition. Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment If you had asked me several years ago how to find contentment in God, I would likely have said that it is only found in God and in the abundant life He promises in His Word. That answer sounds a bit convoluted, doesn’t it? To some…
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.Romans 8:29,30 The Word of God is such a glorious and beautiful testimony of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Reading verses like these and others bring such encouragement…
And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19 ESV I was a false prophet. It’s true. The realization of that is grieving and freeing at the same time because the truth of His Word and the mercy and grace of God have set me free. I…
