I hope you’re preparing for a meaningful Christmas. By that, I mean a Christmas that honors God and celebrates what Jesus came to earth to give us. You can bring the life of God to your family and friends in an incredibly meaningful way. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I’m talking to you about The Star of Bethlehem. The Star of Bethlehem brings us to an incredible truth - that all of what we call the twelve signs of the Zodiac (not for fortune-telling or nonsense) and the Constellations tell...

“You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you...” (Job 22:28, AMP). To be true people of faith, we must understand that we are made in the likeness and image of God, and regardless of whether we deserve it or not, we have authority here on Planet Earth simply because we are human beings. Likewise, we have authority in heaven because we are in Jesus, and He has authority in heaven and earth. Because we are in Jesus, we have authority to harmonize what God has create...

Everything that happens in the supernatural between us and God is supposed to happen from and through the heart. At creation; God conceived and believed each element in His own heart. Once He conceived and believed it in His heart He spoke it into existence. He spoke with intention and it manifested exactly the way He believed. Speaking with intention is faith that says, “This is already mine.” We know what it looks like and what it feels like. We experience it as being real. When it does come i...

Everything about our faith begins with what we believe about creation. The first and simplest place to understand what it looks like to be created in God’s likeness and image is in the life of Jesus. Jesus wasn’t just with God; He WAS God. When He came to Planet Earth, He emptied Himself and became a man. This means that everything Jesus did on Planet Earth required the same abilities to get things done that we possess today. In other words, since we are created in the likeness and image of God,...

God wants us to be able to move past the pain of our bad decisions. In order to do that, we must first identify and own it. Then, we have to decide what we will do with it - send it away or keep it and allow it to destroy our lives. Once we make a bad decision, it’s like having a rock in our shoe. When there’s a rock in our shoe, in order to remove it, we have to take hold of it and throw it away, otherwise, it irritates us and causes continued problems. Jesus has already died for every sin we’v...

We all make bad decisions. When we do, God doesn’t beat us up, put us down, or try to make us feel guilty. However, the people around us often do. Some people use our failures as an opportunity to express their envies and jealousies towards us, in order to build themselves up, making it difficult for us to overcome our bad decisions by making new and good choices. Unfortunately, God is usually blamed for the actions of angry, wrathful people. But the Bible tells us that God teaches us by His Wor...

My new series, “Overcoming Bad Decisions,” starts today! Everything happening in our lives at this moment is, to some degree, related to a very specific decision that we’ve made. A single bad decision can take us down a road that we never intended to walk. That doesn’t mean we caused it, but we are where we are because of our decisions. As children of God, one of the most spiritual things that will ever happen in our lives is choosing to understand and accept personal responsibility. Responsibil...

The one thing Jesus said more than anything else is, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15) In the days to come, we will see some of the most phenomenal miracles that have ever happened. Most of them won’t happen at the altars of churches, or at the hands of the clergy. Most of the miracles will happen with real believers, facing real-life situations. We have to make a decision that we are going to walk with God. We need to read the Bible, pray, know God for ourselves, develo...

Man has created a concept of God that has nothing to do with who God revealed Himself to be. The doctrine of sovereignty is the greatest theological misunderstanding that probably negatively affects more people in the world than any other doctrine. We have redefined sovereignty to mean that God is in control and can do anything He wants. All sovereignty really means is that God acts without being influenced by any outside sources. God gave all authority of Planet Earth to man, therefore we decid...

Everyone wants to be treated fairly, but we want to define fairness based on our own personal perspective. We feel like victims, but never go back and look at how we got where we are. We choose to blame others Instead of taking personal responsibility for our problems. The justice we need in our world today doesn’t come from any type of legislation but from the hearts of people who love righteousness. Unfortunately, most believers have little knowledge of what righteousness is and that righteous...

God’s justice is far more than a code of laws and consequences. God’s justice has the inherent power to transform the believer into a fair, merciful person. God doesn’t merely give us a standard; He gives us the power to live in that standard. We will never understand what it means to have a fair and just society, city, state, country, or workplace until we understand what God says about it. Once we choose God’s justice, which begins with righteousness, then the grace of God works in us to be, l...

Most people define original sin as Adam and Eve disobeying God in the Garden by eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Original sin was not just them eating from the tree. Original sin was that they ate from the tree for a particular purpose - because they believed a lie. They believed God wasn’t good, that they weren’t created in His likeness and His image. They believed the only reason God didn’t want them to eat from the tree was because, if they did, they would become like G...

In our world today, most everything is based on rumor rather than fact. The Bible speaks very strongly against liars, and people who exaggerate and spread rumors. It clearly shows us the destruction this type of communication causes. Once a rumor is accepted as truth and begins to pass through the population, the rumor does more damage than the activity that is actually taking place. The news media has become nothing more than a gossip mill. By daily exaggerating and distorting the facts, they s...

A lot of people want to know what’s going on in America and the world. Is this the end? Is Jesus coming back? People don’t know who or what to trust. We are distracted through fear and trepidation. We are living in a time the Bible calls “the beginning of sorrows.” Times are bad, no doubt. But no matter what is going on around us or how bad it is, we can connect with God and experience strength, peace, and joy on the inside. In this week’s CyberChurch message you’ll learn more about what’s happe...

The cry of the world today is that there is injustice. Everything is unfair and slanted toward the white or the wealthy, this group or that group. The people setting buildings on fire, stealing, robbing, and killing other people all say they’re seeking justice. The problem is in how you define justice. One of the primary characteristics God conveys about Himself in Scripture is justice. He is just (Ps 7:11). He is fair and equitable, and He always seeks for justice to prevail in human interactio...

One of the most important aspects of God’s character is Justice. Eight of the Ten Commandments were about treating one another with love, respect, and value. When Israel entered Canaan, the Ten Commandments were expanded into a code of justice, based on the love of God. God’s system of justice was revolutionary. It provided protection and rights for women, slaves, servants, and immigrants. It abolished ancient codes allowing unjust vengeance. It was a marvel to the ancient world. If the Israelit...

All it takes to completely change your life is a heart awakening and in an instant, everything in your world can be transformed. One glimpse of healing can forever change your health. A single inspiration can lift you out of poverty or lack. When your heart awakens, it will transform you into what it sees. You can use the Word of God to show your heart a completely new reality, the one God promised, and the one you choose, not the one that was imposed on you by life. This week’s message, “Awaken...

I want to help you get past your failures! Sadly, we tend to define ourselves by our past mistakes. The greatest success stories in the world came from people who simply used their failures as stepping stones to success: Albert Einstein, Babe Ruth, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison, just to name a few. If we were to put as much effort into learning from our failures as we do making excuses for them, we would never need another excuse! The Bible doesn’t say that a righteous man never falls; it says h...

We are not who we think we are! In early childhood we began to act like our influences dictated. We buried our true identity beneath the behavior our family required. Sadly, we came to believe we were our behavior. But that’s not the real you. That is what the Bible calls the old man: the man you think you are outside of Jesus! But the Bible tells us we can put on the hidden man of the heart. Join me this week and begin to discover the truth about the real you. You’ll love meeting the real you!

Of all the factors that can consistently affect our lives negatively, there is probably nothing more devastating than what the Bible calls a “broken” heart. Because the heart is the seat of who we are, it affects every aspect of life. It is the source of all abiding emotions, good or bad. From the heart emerges all of life’s boundaries. In other words, every sense of limitation we experience flows out of our hearts. We can spend our entire lives focusing on problems and limitations that we perce...

The Bible says that the end will come “like a thief in the night”. But it also says it will come with the “sound of a trumpet”. This is either talking about two separate events or there is an interesting caveat that we need to recognize. The truth is; people that won’t know when the end is here either don’t want to know, don’t believe, ignore the signs, or are so overtaken by the lust of their flesh and living life that they just aren’t paying attention. This is what Jesus was talking about when...

Throughout history, we see Godless people, Godless regimes, world leaders hungry for power, and greedy people attempting to take over all the resources available in Planet Earth. Each monumental war has gotten more violent, more wicked, and more brutal. Jesus said that the time would come when we would have a tribulation on Planet Earth that would be far worse than anything that has ever happened. Many people have asked me if I thought we were in the Tribulation. “No, I do not!” People in Russia...

So many people have asked me if this is the end of time. If you’re asking that question, you don’t really understand what the Bible means when it talks about “the end.” In Matthew 24, when Jesus talks about the many things happening and says, “This is not the end”; He is talking about reaching the end or completion of the goal (the reason all these things are happening), not the end of time. These things are happening to destroy people’s confidence in God. The good news is that Jesus isn’t comin...

When Jesus returns, it will not be to bring an end to the world but to prevent the antichrist and evildoers from destroying the world and mankind. Until He returns, there are ways we can manage ourselves so that we can be over-comers no matter what’s going on around us. Part of this is knowing how to read the signs and being aware of what’s going on in our country, our city, our state, and even in our own lives. Once you know how to read the signs, then you know the kinds of decisions you need t...

Anyone can look around and see what is happening in the world today. But God wants us to see what’s happening and properly understand “the times.” Unless we understand the times, i.e. "why" these things are happening, we can never properly understand what actions to take.Observing an event is like standing on a boat and looking at the surface of the water. Seeing the surface doesn't reveal what is going on beneath the surface. God's Word explains how you can get beneath the surface to see and un...

The simplest and clearest representation of Jesus becoming our sin, freeing us from the wrath of God, and at the same time making us the righteousness of God, fully accepted as a sweet-smelling savor, is the Old Testament sacrifice using the two goats of salvation. Of all the Biblical models that will help you grasp what you have in Jesus, this will be the clearest!

Historically, we have been influenced by religious thinkers to believe that sacrifices were made to appease God, move God, or compel Him to do something. That is not at all what sacrifices to God are about. Sacrifices were designed to benefit and influence our hearts and draw us closer to God, not to earn something from Him. Under the New Covenant, our sacrifice has already been made in Jesus (the sacrifices laid out in the Old Testament were fulfilled in Him). There’s nothing we can do for or u...

We can only have faith in God to the degree that we believe He is Who He says He is. When we trust and follow Him, we are confident He will bring us to the ultimate in life (Jn 10:10). This is where we activate the blood of Jesus in our hearts and lives. Faith in the blood is to deliberately remind ourselves and reflect on the price Jesus paid through His shed blood, which cleanses our conscience (Hb 9:14). We participate in that by faith. One reason we carry guilt and don't experience much of G...

Through the new birth, all that God has is ours. We can’t get what has already been given through works (Eph 1:18, begging, or force (Matt 11:12). The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus obtained and secured it for us, thereby ensuring it is always active and available. Our only qualification is to be in Him (Col. 1:12), and our ability to share in that inheritance comes from being one with Him. You can only experience what is yours in Christ to the degree you believe it in your heart and w...

The contractual agreement God made with Jesus is called the Covenant of Peace. By its very name, we can understand the foundation and boundaries by which God chooses to relate to us and what His intention is for us. Yet, nearly the entire world believes God is angry at them, so they try to appease Him through pious living, works-righteousness, and using faith as a tool to manipulate Him. The Good News, however, is that God is at peace with us! At any time we choose, we can experience the tranqui...
