Are you hot or cold? Revelation 3:14-22 NKJV The Lukewarm Church 14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 “He who has…

The Mayo clinic defines Narcissistic Personality Disorder — as one of several types of personality disorders — as a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:   Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it Exaggerate achievements and talents Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations Take advantage of others to get what they want Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others Be envious of others and believe others envy them Behave in an arrogant…

I have taken thousands of people in the church through inner healing and deliverance since 2015 in my ministry.  All have been hurt and wounded growing up.  Some by one parent or both, some by their step parent, relatives, neighbors or strangers.  Everyone has been hurt by someone.  Most through verbal or emotional wounds or abuse, some through physical abuse and many through sexual abuse, being violated, shown pornography, touched or viewing someone sexually.  When people get their soul (mind, will and emotions) wounded then demons are able to gain legal rights to speak into their memories, their minds – into their thoughts.  The demons will cause them to think things that are not true and entice them with visions.  They will cause them to become angry, jealous, proud, sexually impure, and to do things that are not aligned with the Bible.  There are many who attend church and are leaders in the church who behave much more in the flesh than in the spirit and hurt people instead of help them.  There is a saying that “hurting people hurt people.” What does the Bible say about people who live more in the flesh than the spirit?   Galatians 5:16-26…

What exactly is a scapegoat? Wikipedia lists two definitions with the first being a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.  The second talks about the Bible definition which is when a goat is sent into the wilderness after the Jewish chief priest had symbolically laid the sins of the people upon it. Leviticus 16:6-10 NKJV 6 “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 He shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 8 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats: one lot for the Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat. 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord’s lot fell, and offer it as a sin offering. 10 But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon it, and to let it go as the scapegoat into the wilderness.   Today there are many people in the world who have been unknowingly selected to be the scapegoat in their family and in their other relationships in life such as work, marriages, ministerial relationships, church, etc.…

2020 and 2021 have been very busy years for God’s remnant warriors as they have felt much shifting, changes, uncomfortableness and movement while stretching their faith to new levels never seen before. Several have already moved to new cities, counties, states and locations that they never expected - while many more are now being prompted by the Lord to move to new locations where other remnant warriors are already positioned in order to help them to accomplish their assignments in Him. Many are also leaving their secular jobs and careers and moving into their ministry assignments and callings as the experiences of suffering that they endured over their lifetimes are now opening up doors to be able to help people who have been hurt deeply to be healed and delivered. Many “suddenlies” are happening where people who have the heart of the Lord and have gone through great soul wound healing, cleansing, humbling and deliverance can now be trusted by the Lord to go forth and help those in the church who are hurting. They are suddenly being re-positioned like Joseph away from their toxic family members and places of work into new places to live, and new positions of…

Many of God’s strongest warriors are now enduring some of the most painful situations in their lives.  Pressure from all sides, receiving condemning, judgmental and harsh words from people in the church, emotional abuse from their spouse, disrespect from their children, control and manipulation from their employer, city, state and national government and having all their enemies’ gossip, betray and lie about them, dealing with sickness and having hardly any money left in their bank account.  You can do EVERYTHING correct as God has directed you - not thinking that you can endure one more trial - and yet be in God’s perfect will.  All the great warriors for Christ suffered and were persecuted, all the while doing exactly what God wanted them to do. We are all being stretched to our maximum in order to be stronger for the upcoming months of war against the enemy in the world as well as showing God who we really are and what we are made of.  It is always important to ask the Lord if there is anything that needs to be loosed from us (pride, unforgiveness towards someone, sexual impurity, etc.) but sometimes you can be doing everything that the…

There is more of a struggle today than ever before within the church between couples who are in relationship where there is strife to the point of emotional abuse between husband and wife (both men against women and women against men). Most in the church know of the Bible scripture below concerning that wives should submit to their husbands and that husbands should love their wives: Ephesians 5:22-27 NKJV Marriage—Christ and the Church "22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish." When a godly husband chooses to submit himself…

Most relationships have one person who takes on the same characteristics of Jezebel and the other person like Ahab in 1st and 2nd Kings. People get the Jezebel spirit because of being hurt growing up by their mom or dad or step parent or others or through sexual violations (viewing porn, touched, molested or raped). This causes them to hear demons and they want their own way and to control their spouse and others. They then look for a partner to marry who they can control who is willing to compromise and tolerate their ungodly demands who will give in to them, which is the Ahab spirit. People get the Ahab spirit because they have a parent who gives in and compromises and aligns themselves with that spirit.  Ahabs have a comfort level with their spouse demanding their way in order to help get them what they want.  Ahab wanted Naboth’s vineyard but when he asked him to sell him his vineyard so he could turn it into a garden Naboth refused.  So Ahab told Jezebel that Naboth refused to sell him his vineyard so she got him the vineyard by coming up with a plan and sending it out…

I will start by premising this blog by stating that if you are trying to resolve a conflict with a person who has not been healed of their soul wounds and delivered from their demons then you will simply frustrate yourself because the other party will usually not be able to rationally discuss much of anything and cause the point of contention to not be addressed while they take you around in circles.  They will often manifest into anger and accusatory tones and blame you for not agreeing with them.  Thus it is impossible to resolve conflict in a healthy way with anyone who is not healed from their past wounds and delivered from demons (which is most all people in the world and many in church).   Sorry to have to make that disclaimer but it is the truth.  People who largely hear demonic thoughts in their minds (most all people) will have personal agendas, selfish motives and ungodly intentions of their hearts and not play by healthy rules.  They have been used to escalating themselves in anger and talking on and on in order to wear people down to give them what they demand. Most people learn over time to…

There are millions of people around the world who are married to people who emotionally abuse them (and worse) every day.  Some much worse than others but abuse is abuse, even if it is subtle.  The more subtle forms of abuse involve not allowing your spouse to make any decisions throughout the marriage, raising one’s voice or having tones, talking down and belittling – especially in front of other people, making fun of your spouse at their expense, making your spouse’s life miserable through not agreeing to many if any of their desires, not allowing your spouse to pursue their own interests in life, lying, not allowing your spouse to have intimacy with you as punishment for them not doing exactly what you demand, etc.  The more egregious forms of abuse would include yelling, screaming, demanding, acting physically aggressive or being sexually selfish and mocking your spouse, throwing things, breaking things, exploding in rage, etc. About half of the world struggles with a more controlling, selfish, prideful and sexually selfish and impure,  ungodly behavior while the other half of the world get hurt by them.  Sadly, they find each other in the majority of all marriages.  Jezebel married Ahab and…
