When Jesus was preparing to send the twelve disciples out into public ministry, He gathered his twelve messengers close and imparted to them powerful spiritual authority over unclean spirits, power to drive them out, and power to cure all kinds of disease, weakness, and infirmity. In wisdom and power Jesus intimately spoke these words to his special messengers, “Freely you have received the power of the kingdom, so freely release it to others”. He was sending them out to proclaim…..
To keep stepping upward and forward in the Kingdom of light, the Holy Spirit tells us we must faithfully embrace the mysteries of faith while keeping a clean conscience. Regarding Timothy’s ministry Paul taught him, “You must continue to use your prophecies as weapons as you wage spiritual warfare by faith and with a clean conscience” (1Timothy 1:19). Those who are God lovers are told to draw near to Jesus, our great High Priest, with sincere hearts, while having our…..
The human race is easily influenced by political and religious hypocrisy! Many whom present themselves as honest, truthful, and authentic outwardly do not always have sincere motivations and pure intentions within their hearts.

When everyone had been seated, one of the “separated ones” noticed that Jesus hadn’t performed the cleansing ritual before he…..
When Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit from tree of the knowledge of good and evil it caused them to fall into darkness and death. When we partake from the Tree of Life offered to us from the Father, though the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, the fruit will grant us the Light of the Spirit, which brings spiritual and eternal life. We are given a new beginning, as we are made alive and progressively grow through Christ;…..

There are many legitimate and demanding cares that are a part of living in this world. Sometimes we get weighed down with our responsibilities, and we get pulled out of the peace of experientially leaning, relying and trusting in God’s grace, love, and faithfulness. With our hearts in this burdened condition, the enemy…..
When hardship or difficulty invades our lives, we all long to be composed and unflustered, while our hearts and souls remain stable and fixed in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’s abiding power and grace. During these times, our longing for God’s heart-peace will motivate us to move towards Yeshua. As children, we long to grow up into Oneness with Him, and become partakers of His gentleness, meekness, knowledge, wisdom and grace. In the same way loving parents understand the…..
We are told in 1John, dear children, don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world, because the world is not capable of bringing lasting satisfaction into your life. The world offers us momentary gratification of our flesh, obsession with status and importance, and the allurement into things that will ultimately lead to a life of superficiality, unhappiness, dissatisfaction, and restlessness. Heart contentment begins with a personal encounter and…..
We are all children of God, we came from God, and because Jesus Christ gave himself as a sacrifice for our sin, we will be able to return back home to our Father in heaven one day. Out of all the knowledge man has been given, there is none more essential than knowing Jesus Christ. We must accept him and surrender to his sacrificial love, because He is the only door through which we can return to heaven. There is…..
