As long as the enemy has legal rights to torment your mind with negative and evil thoughts (whether you have chosen to become a Christian or not) then you will never be able to truly change.   This is why when couples go to counseling and are told to love and respect their spouse better and behave more godly and loving…it rarely ever works.  They simply try to do better for a day or two and then slip back into the regular modes of striving and arguing because they keep hearing the enemy tell them they are right and their spouse is wrong and they have feelings of jealousy, rejection, etc. So what gives demons legal rights to torment people (Christians included)? So what gives demons legal rights to torment Christians?  Their souls (mind, will and emotions) have been hurt and they still have feelings of unforgiveness and pain in their hearts for people who have hurt them because the demons keep giving them negative thoughts every day, They need to have Jesus come to heal them and then once the legal rights are taken away they can command the demons to go.  So what are some of the ways that…

Unfortunately most people in the world have an inaccurate viewpoint of God and how much He loves them and they also do not have a healthy godly fear and respect for Him.  There are not many churches who preach a balanced message on both as most either preach an ALL love and no fear of God message, or an ALL fear and no love from God. Most people will say that God loves them but are conflicted as what love actually is based upon how their own father or mother treated them when growing up and what the church taught them. If a child was not loved unconditionally from their own father or mother then it becomes very challenging to believe that God really loves them unconditionally and not based on their performance - but just because He is love.  Many children were actually hurt deeply by their own dad or mom growing up because of their parent’s own wounds when they were growing up.   When a child gets wounded growing up the enemy begins to torment them in their own minds with voices that cause them to have fear, anger, sexual impurity, pride, control issues, and many other challenges. …

You may have noticed that there are more people than ever before in the world who would be diagnosed as a Narcissist today. One Psychologist suggested as much as 50% of the world now. What does the Psychological community look for as symptoms that would diagnose a person as to being a Narcissist? According to the Mayo Clinic’s website: 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 or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and…

How should you handle emotional abuse in marriage & relationships? Emotional abuse in marriage is unfortunately more common than people would want to think and is also equally as challenging to decide just how to address it and with whom.  Most times when two people get married for the first time they expect their partners to love on them and to allow them to make decisions that bring the greatest level of satisfaction to them.  They both expect to be able to do whatever they want to do that will bring them the greatest level of enjoyment.  Often times shortly after the wedding (and some times longer)  one of the spouses will usually place demands to make most of the decisions in the marriage and begin to control and manipulate the other spouse who usually has more of a giving heart.  Over time it begins to cause the spouse who is being controlled to feel less valued, dominated and no longer feel loved.  The more demanding spouse wants even more control, will behave very proudly and talk more condescending with disrespect to their mate.  Eventually the controlled spouse will feel sick to their stomachs frequently because of the consistent arguments…

So last night I returned to Denver from tending to the funeral of my oldest brother Keith from Indiana. I love to go for runs, walks and hikes and the weather was perfect in Denver this morning for a long run, walk and hike on a trail that I had not ventured on before. I went about 90 minutes in one direction towards the Rocky Mountains. On my way out I noticed something I had never seen on any of my hikes before that were not around any body of water (stream, creek, river, pond, lake, ocean). I saw 3 large fish that were about 18-24 inches long. It seemed strange to me as the nearest stream, creek and river was over 10 miles away and there were no ponds around that would hold fish that large nearby as I was near the high point of the area. I then hiked another 90 minutes and realizing that I did not bring any water with me, decided to return as the temperatures were warming. I had noticed a sign warning me about rattle snakes in the area that I was hiking in. About half way back to home I saw a…

Why are so many people in the church struggling to have peace and see the fruit of the spirit evident in their day to day lives?  Why are so many people living in either miserable marriages or experiencing painful divorces?  Why do so many people have sickness and disease in their bodies? Why are so many children angry at their church-going parents?  Why do so few people in church truly love each other like Christ? Romans 7: 4-25 New Living Translation 4 So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the one who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God. 5 When we were controlled by our old nature,  sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law,…

Have you ever considered what you say to your children can haunt them the rest of their lives if you speak negative words of death over them?  Conversely, if you speak positive words of encouragement and life that they will blossom like a flower that receives sunshine and water and will see blessings in their lives.  How often do you think and take inventory of exactly how you speak to and treat your own children?   Those who spoke negatively every day to their children as they were growing up will see children who are largely affected in a negative way for the rest of their lives.  Unfortunately the parents will then blame their children and speak out words of condemnation over them causing a huge chasm to expand throughout their lifetimes between them.  Their children will naturally distance themselves from their parents - wanting to stop the onslaught of death words over them.  Then often the parents will blame shift the reasons that their children want nothing to do with them onto their victimized children causing their children to feel hurt deeply and rarely wanting to ever speak to them as their parents need to own their abuse over…

As I have traveled around the US and Canada (and ministered to people around the world) since 2016 I see people becoming much more aware every day of the spirit of Jezebel (and Leviathan) and how it manifests in people.  It causes them to be controlling, manipulative, jealous, hateful, threatening, prideful, arrogant, lie, demanding, selfish, intimidating, critical, judgmental, and the psychological community calls them Narcissists.  They are absolutely the most challenging type of person to have any relationship with, especially to work for or be married to or to have as a parent.   People get affected by the Jezebel and Leviathan spirits due to growing up with pain from their mothers or father or step parents or being sexually violated by anyone.  As more people in the church and society as a whole have their eyes open to what has been going on in this world and the truth is revealed about just how evil that the demons cause people to be then we can finally expose the truth and get people delivered and save their lives and marriages.  Deliverance from the demons tormenting them in their minds comes when they have truly forgiven people who have hurt them…

We have now seen thousands of people around the world who have gotten delivered from the evil spirits of Jezebel, Leviathan and Ahab and have dramatically changed their lives and saved their marriages from strife and divorce. They now have peace in their minds as they no longer get pinged with 50,000 – 80,000 negative thoughts per day (National Science Foundation) which were coming from the enemy (demons). They have a clear mind and can discern any time the enemy tries to give them a thought and dismiss it. They can hear the Lord more clearly than ever. Many have been healed from pains, sickness and diseases that they were tormented with for sometimes years. The biggest change is they are much nicer to be around as they are not striving, fighting, controlling, yelling and lying anymore. But it is a choice. Life or death. Freedom or bondage. Peace or torment. Joy or anger. Humility or pride. Truth or lies. For people to get delivered requires them to choose with their freewill to do the right thing. They can’t be made to. They must humble themselves from their pride. They must choose to forgive all who had hurt them throughout…

As soon as a new believer comes into the church they should go through deliverance.  Existing believers should all go through deliverance.  How many churches do you know that offer deliverance services? Many of the larger churches offer some sort of counseling / psychological services and some of the smaller ones offer pastoral counseling to try to help people who are struggling with spiritual issues (ie demons tormenting their thoughts). A few offer inner healing services but unfortunately, very few offer services to actually impact a person's life through getting delivered and freed from the demons that are tormenting them every day. So many people think about deliverance from Hollywood's scary and glorified perspective. The Exorcist, Poltergeist, head spinning, vomiting, slithering like snakes and deep dark voices from beyond. Witches dressed up in witch hats over cauldrons, casting spells and hexes on people trying to kill them. I never wanted to have anything to do with deliverance.  The Lord called me into the ministry by default as I had to deal with some family members who got affected through various events in life that gave the enemy the legal right to torment them and then torment me.  I could not…
