If you are going to understand good, you must understand the author of everything good. When you get around the character of God, you get around His goodness. But God has an opposite. Lucifer. God and the devil will never change their character, but our lives are in the balance. We are good to the measure we mirror our Creator. Many in the church have accepted the goodness of God but never have rejected the evil of the devil. We have become neutral towards evil and thus become deceived. Hebrews 5:14 tells us, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." We must not mix good and evil. Truly, our hearts are either seeking the goodness of God or the selfishness of evil.

If demon spirits need a body, where do they go when people die? According to Luke 11:24-26, demons are always looking for somewhere to go. If demonic spirits are truly on the move, we must be armored up and walking in our authority as believers.

What is a spell? Have you ever been under a spell? Spells work to try and take over your thinking and personality completely. They can come over someone quickly, but thank the Lord, they can also be cast off quickly. God doesn't want us to be defiled by witchcraft. He wants to destroy all our witchcraft, as is says in Micah 5:12.
-
What does it mean to keep life sacred? Some hard-to-understand passages in the OT are best understood as Keeping Life Sacred. In a secular world, there is meaning that is being overlooked and trampled down. This lesson will give you 10 areas of life to see if you keep these areas sacred.
-
As believers, it is vital that we see that controllers are attracted to those who have God's call on their lives. We can find comfort in being controlled, but when we do that, we are laying down the responsibility God has given us. When the enemy sends manipulators into our lives, it is by design to pull us away from our relationship with the Lord and keep us from completing our calling.
-
You are either working on your image as a Christian, or you are serious about getting free. A good image will not save you, but crying out to Jesus will. Have you clearly won your war and are free? Or are you just sinning less than last week? There is a difference between being better and being free.
-
Have you ever realized we follow people based on the amount of conflict they have successfully been through? Each of us is judged by how much conflict we handle. We choose our path based on the amount of conflict we are willing to go into with the Lord. The more conflict, the shorter the path to the destination.
-
Are you missing out on good in your life because you refuse to confront? In the church world, we act as if it's "humility" to avoid conflict. But in Matthew 18 Jesus clearly tells us how to confront our brother. Truly the ones we love the most, we will confront the most. Biblical confrontation is not selfish it is an art to be learned. Confrontation is a partnership with Word to save a brother's life.
-
What is ours by promise is not always ours by experience. We are often too stubborn to receive the promise of God's goodness. All the children of Israel that God delivered out of Egypt were promised the Promise Land but only two entered. Only Joshua and Caleb had the courage and were able to enter in. Good truly tests us more than evil. And a lot, if not all of what God promises you, you must fight to possess. The harvest and entering the Promise Land is a lot of hard work.
-
The past sets the standard for the future. God sets a standard through history for the next generation to build upon. We live in times where everything in the world is trying to tear down past precedents instead of building upon them. Precedence is what we are judged by, but it is also a ladder that takes us to the next level. It makes you responsible to past miracles that God wants and wills to do through your life today. We must mix faith with precedence to pull down the reality that with God all things are possible.

It takes true wisdom to work around people who are only about themselves, people who are in the flesh. Abigail chose to act even though by the definition of the roles she should have "submitted." In today's world what we call submission is our excuse for doing nothing; God is calling us to act. Abigail acted and even prophesied to David before he was king to keep things from ending badly. True submission has strength and courage to it. It is not weakness masquerading as a virtue.
-
Are people who care about you having to work around your flesh? Are you having to work around other people's flesh? Nabal, Abigail's husband is the definition of a flesh workaround. Abigail understood Godly submission is to God and HIs Will first, and then to the leadership over us. If someone in leadership makes disastrous mistakes and we do nothing because we are "submitting," we are in trouble because we see the problem and do nothing.
-
When we take what the enemy is doing and put God's name on it, that is suffering teaching. There is a type of suffering that is biblical and there is a type of suffering that is non-biblical. When we intentionally suffer to further the gospel or die to our flesh to get a breakthrough in prayer, that is Godly suffering. But suffering from the enemy: stealing, killing, and destroying is not of God. God is always working to protect us and save us. He never works to harm us.
-
Prophecy opens you up to see what you are not seeing—especially what you don't want to see. God's correction is a deep form of love. It is truly a sign God is your Father. But we must sustain the change God is doing in our hearts. Only dead things refuse to grow. The Word of God is living and active and meant to change us into a different man.
-
A testimony is not how much we can suffer in life. A testimony is when you overcome the test by the Blood of the Lamb. It's when God comes in, takes your story, and gives meaning to it. Your testimony is evidence to the world that a living God exists.
-
You can still choose to believe God even if things haven't gone down right in the past. A lot of times things that we view as "out of reach" we deem as sour and undesirable not truly knowing what God has for us on the other side. It is more difficult to face the truth after the fact but if you keep loving the truth it will always set you free.
-
A lot of Christians have never been taught what to do about a curse. There was a curse put on the presidents of the United States back in the 1840s. From then forward every twenty years or so a president would die. President Reagan was the first to miraculously escape with his life. The praying Church was able to pull down the curse. We also must be able to pull down the occult curses spoken over our lives. God has given us the power to break any type of curse and keep it from coming to pass.
-
When the Word is sown Satan, the enemy, immediately comes to steal the Word. As soon as God shows you something new in the Bible it will come under attack. Don't be ignorant, be prepared. Even though the attack will come the Word says we can extinguish all the arrows from the enemy.
-
Crying out, does it work if you don't do it? When things go down, and your house starts falling apart, we look for someone to blame. We often blame God or blame the teaching. But in Matthew 7, what does Jesus say is the real reason people's houses fall?
-
How much dignity are you willing to lose to get heaven's attention? It is easy to count what we might lose if we sold out to God, but it is only when we lose ourselves in crying out to God that we begin to see what God is truly trying to give us.
