Scripture does not outline a ministry called deliverance minister. It outlines shepherds. And the word shepherd already implies saving the sheep from wild beasts. Not controversial. Not questionable. #deliverance

The belief that a Christian cannot have a demon is not the belief of the history of the church. It is a recent Western idea. The early church took new believers through deliverance before baptism. #deliverance

In the dream, the yacht was his entire life's work. It was tied to the dock with one flimsy nylon rope, on a hook that only held while the wind blew east. One shift, and it was gone. #mammon Watch the full teaching: youtu.be/Vxou3wbN41g

In the dream, heaven's crowd gathered around a house to watch one woman pray for her sick friend. They knew the cost. They were whispering, "Do you see what she's doing?" No glory. No money. Just love. #cloudofwitnesses

Discernment of spirits is not sitting in a chair judging whether something fits your systematic theology. It is a gift of the Spirit. Watch the full teaching: youtu.be/x1HO03_kbgA

It isn't a debate about tithing. It's the fear of offending someone whose giving keeps our programs running. The Lord says of unfaithful men: a broken tooth, a foot out of joint. So He raises up others outside the system. #fearofthelord

She was a Christian her whole life. In church her whole life. Tormented the whole time. The deliverance was a great victory, but it was heartbreaking that no one had cared enough to press in and fight for her freedom. #deliverance

Breathe into your hand. That vapor is the length of this life. We are given one life to invest, and one life to vote on who we really believe is God: the Lord, or money and comfort. #fearofthelord

Setting people free from spiritual darkness almost always creates a backlash. The enemy pushes back to get you to quit. Many do, because they never learned what it means to stand and fight. #deliverance

The people were astonished and afraid when Jesus taught. That word carries the force of a blow, a blast that knocks you out of your place. He spoke as one who had authority, not as the scribes. #fearofthelord

God told Ezekiel not to be dismayed at their looks, and Jeremiah not to break down at the sight of their faces. Don't measure how people respond and then adjust His word. Don't dial it up or down. #fearofthelord

Some of the sheep were not dead. They were playing dead because the bear had traumatized them. You cannot make a deal with a bear. Shepherds were given weapons to step in and stop the destruction. #spiritualwarfare

We spend so much of our life and energy building a luxury boat we can't hold onto. It isn't secure. It could blow away in a second. That's the grip of mammon on the church in America. #mammon

Only one book in the Bible has one 6:66. In John, after Jesus said something offensive and confusing, many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. That is a sobering verse. #johnsix66

This age is about learning to walk in faith, hope and love. Not glitz. Not fanfare. Not crowds. Jesus laid down His life to serve others. Go pray for someone in a quiet place, even if no one sees. #discipleship

Jesus never preserved His numbers by watering down the message. He told people to sit down and count the cost first. And when the crowd left, He asked the ones who stayed if they wanted to go too. #discipleship

Jesus let the crowd walk away, then asked the ones who stayed if they wanted to go too. He told them to count the cost. We find our life when we lay it down. #discipleship

"Begin to store up oil in your lamps so when the darkness comes you'll have excess oil to make it through the night." Preparation now is not fear. It is love for yourself and for those who trust you. #fearofthelord

Is there mercy? Yes. Is there grace? Yes. Is that what the church is lacking right now? No. We're lacking an understanding of the fear of the Lord, and we need to enter back into it. #fearofthelord

Mercy is not what the Church is lacking. Grace is not what the Church is lacking. An understanding of the fear of the Lord is. Fear of being labeled has made us ashamed of the words of Christ. #fearofthelord
