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.
-
Before you rise - you must go down to your knees. Sometimes in life, the battle chooses you, or you receive a report you never would have expected. David and his mighty men had their women and children stolen from them. David's own men were ready to stone him, but David cried out to the Lord. Nothing can’t be changed when you cry out to God with everything in you.
-
A storm is something that affects more than just you. This is your response to a storm. It is not being stoic, not being reserved, and not being in control; it is being so desperate that you let go of everything to get to God. It is a reset button. Our cry to God is our acknowledgment that only God can help. (Group discussion at the end)
-
(From a Zoom meeting in 2020) Is there a way to immediately get God's attention when you are in dire need? It is not passive praying. It will take you far from your comfort zone into the secret place between you and God alone.
-
Is there a block in your receiver? God can be completely good and full of blessings but if we are not receiving from Him it won't do us any good. And worse yet, if we do not have a character of God worked out we will receive more of what the enemy is saying than what God is saying.
-
Have you experienced the advantage Holy Spirit? We all as believers have been promised the Holy Spirit but has the promise become reality in your life? The Holy Spirit is the person that makes all the difference in our lives. Peter went from being so afraid he denied Jesus to a servant girl on the night of the crucifixion but after Pentecost, Peter was a changed man. He now had the boldness to call the city of Jerusalem to repentance.
-
Is there a clog in your pipeline to God? Some people say it's not always God's will to heal...but don't get into verbal religious garbage. God has answers to whatever we face, but the way to get healed might be a little different than what you are expecting. God has a way to get the clogs out of your pipeline.

She was released from the camp because of a clerical error weeks before her age group was scheduled to be terminated. Her ministry began after her release. The Lord had an exciting life for her into her 90s.
