3 Common Lies of the Enemy Concerning Your Identity

Identity is important. Every decision you make stems from who you believe yourself to be. This is one of the many reasons why the world preaches the idea of believing in yourself. There is some truth behind the idea that you have to have confidence in who you are in order to find success in life. As a child of God, we know where this confidence should come from. It’s not about believing in yourself and your own abilities, but rather believing in He that is in you and all that He created you to be.

Cutting Ties with Your Past When the Enemy Won’t Let You Forget

Cutting ties with your past is often easier said than done. Yet the truth is that your life before Christ was actually not life at all. Now, this doesn’t mean your past is useless. God will often use our pasts in some way for His glory. But the Bible tells us that we have become alive in Christ and our old selves were crucified with Him. So what happens when the enemy tries to remind us of our past? What do we do when he’s trying to use our past to keep us from growing and moving forward in Christ?

When the Enemy Has You Surrounded

Do you ever feel like the enemy has you surrounded? The Bible tells us our battle is not against flesh and blood. And if we could spiritually see what the battle really looked like, we would no longer be afraid. This is exactly what happened for Elisha and the Syrian army.

4 Ways We Can Take Back This Country for God

As I look around at this country of ours, one thing is clear. Christians have become discouraged. On almost a daily basis, I hear someone say or read an article that declares just how far this nation has come from the truth of God. And news channels don’t help. If anything, their job is to make us even more afraid. After all, fear motivates and sells better than anything else. And you can expect that if something happens that would cause fear, it will be shared on the news. So where do we go from here? Do we simply throw in the towel and give up on our nation? Or do we fight and take back this country for God? Is it even possible?

10 Lies of the Enemy That Will Stunt Your Spiritual Growth

Jesus referred to the enemy as the “Father of Lies.” Lying is what he does best. In fact, it literally defines who he is. But the truth is that the enemy was defeated at the cross. The Bible even describes his humiliating defeat in Colossians 2:13-15. The victory now belongs to Jesus and we get to share in that victory as children of God. Knowing this truth, the enemy does what he does best… lie. And even though he can’t change what Jesus did on the cross, he can certainly lie to us in an attempt to keep us from fulfilling our God-given destinies and to stunt our growth as Believers. It is when we recognize the lies of the enemy that we can best combat them with the truth.

When You Are in Need of a Christmas Miracle

For many of us, Christmas is one of the best times of the year. But for others, it can be one of the hardest. The holiday season has a way of bringing up emotions in a way that nothing else can. We can feel joy, love, peace, and contentment… or we can feel great sadness, loneliness, stress, and unrest. The term Christmas miracle is often used this time of year. It’s a phrase used to define a miraculous event that is so amazingly spectacular it could have only happened at Christmas. Are you in need of a miracle this holiday season?

Lessons from War: How to Stand Firm in Faith and Victory

The victory is won. Sin and death have been defeated. Jesus has defeated the enemy. The New Testament speaks often of our victory in Christ. We are told stand firm in faith and victory because Jesus has already won the war! But what does all of this really mean for us as Believers? If the war is already won, why does Paul instruct us to wear spiritual armor in Ephesians 6? And why is it that life still feels like a constant battle sometimes?

How to Live Your Life as an Overcomer

Defeated. Overwhelmed. Disenheartened. We’ve all been there. Life has a way of throwing us curve balls when we least expect them. Jesus told us that in this life we would have troubles. So trials and obstacles are simply a part of life. But the Bible also teaches us that we have victory in Christ. God destined us to be overcomers… not to be overcome by life’s struggles. But what does life really look like as an overcomer?

Dare to Pray Big: The Power of Prayer in the Unseen Realm

I’ve been wrestling about writing this post for some time now. It’s not something I would normally write (or share) on the blog. But with all of the fear people are experiencing these days with the North Korea crisis and many other issues, the Lord really pressed upon my heart to share a dream I recently had. As the Body of Christ, we don’t have to sit idly by and just hope that God will intervene on our behalf. We have been given authority as the church of Jesus Christ to make a difference and to CHANGE the world around us.

Unmistakably His: A Story of Confidence and Grace

Today, I am honored to feature guest writer Kate Schwab! A few weekends ago I attended a faith-based writers conference. I had never been to one, and I have to say – it was awesome! The huge throng of people who showed up, (mostly women) the excitement in the air, the publishers that attended; looking for new talent and fresh voices, and best of all the Holy Spirit moving with us throughout the day. It was incredible.
