Good Morning, Friends!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Valentine’s Day is an appropriate day to remember those persecuted for the sake of righteousness. The man this day derives its name from, “Valentine,” is a father of the faith who continued to perform the sacred ritual of marriage when the government outlawed it. For this act of faithful bravery, Valentine lost his life, but not before he led the jailer’s daughter to Jesus and gave her back her sight through the power of God. It was this young and thankful lady who wrote a note of gratitude to Valentine before his execution.

Don't let Valentine’s day be degraded into cheap favors for cheap sex. Today is a day to write notes of gratitude to those who sacrificially live in truth for the sake of others.

Let’s remember and pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters today.

Here is Lene Sondergaard, wife of wrongly imprisoned pastor Torben Sondergaard. This is Lene’s powerful testimony of faith during this ongoing trial of persecution.

Good Morning, Friends!

If you have trouble reading the Bible (staying awake, staying focused, comprehending, etc) you might need deliverance. But you will also benefit from having someone read the Bible to you. I created a Rumble channel solely for this purpose. Today’s scripture reading particularly moving for me: Psalms 42 & 43.
Take two minutes and let the Word of God wash over you.

Good Morning, Friends!
I am getting ready for The Father’s House Church this weekend. Here are my notes for Sunday as we look at Matthew 26. There is a profound difference between Judas’ and Peter’s betrayal responses. Which response do we identify with?

Good Morning, Friends!

Today, my family and members of our community are turning our swords directly against the enemy in a head-on assault through our mass deliverance service.
As you can imagine, it's been a rough few days leading up to this event, and now it is hours away. I covet your prayers.
We aren't taking the dragon by the tail; we are grabbing his throat and cutting his head off. Satan may get worshipped in some parts of this country. But in Western North Carolina tonight, he will have his butt handed to him. Satan will feel the pain tonight!

“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.” Romans 16:20

It looks like satan doesn't feel like he is getting enough blood sacrifices these days. It’s a “state of emergency!”

“As they tortured me, they screemed ‘We are the devil!’ and I realized that they had no room for God in their hearts. I determined that I would make no room for the devil in mine.” --Richard Wurmbrand

God delivered Israel from slavery by the blood of the lamb. But Egypt pursued and tried to bring God’s people back into slavery.

Don’t be surprised by the resistance. Slave masters never let their victims go without a fight.

“It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and don't be subject again to a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1

"The man who believes a lie is fighting both God and the devil." --Arthur Burt

“Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I commanded you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.” Deuteronomy 38:1

Good morning!
This is how you Make America Great Again. 🇺🇸

Revival starts with repentance.

How many American Doctors are under a curse?

“Curses be he who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.” Deuteronomy 27:25

Abortion. Protocol.

Two medical terms to veil the slaying of innocent people.

Confession. Repentance.

Two Biblical terms to describe how to be set free from the curse.

We witnessed this in Nashville last month.

“The Lord alone guided him, and there was no foreign god with them.”
Deuteronomy 32:11

What is this boast of the Lord that “the Lord alone” guided Jacob and “there was no strange God among them”?
This boast is the truth that remains elusive to the human race: God does not need the help of foreign deities.

God doesn't need the help of Mammon, Zeus, Aphrodite, Molech, or any other idol to make us happy, healthy, or fulfilled. The Lord boasts about Himself because it is the Truth, which makes us free, and whose rejection makes us slaves. The people of God we're delivered from slavery by the hand of the One True God. Worship of any other god is a return to slavery. Every place you find slavery, you will also find idolatry.

America is full of idolatry. Christians using coping mechanisms instead of leaning into Jesus is idolatry. We are all guilty to one degree or another. Freedom will only return with repentance and pure worship of the One True God.

Good Morning!

It's dawning on me that my oldest children are fast approaching the moment when their faith must pass from
obedience to their parents to a conscious, free choice made out of personal responsibility. What an exciting thought! I look forward to my children receiving their own passion for worshipping Jesus!

It's time for this family bonfire to multiply! 🔥 It’s about to get lit!

Good Morning!

How long will the flame of God burn in us without the fuel of prayer, worship, and reading the Bible? I don't want to find out because I don't want to survive life and hope that I can still be called a Christian. I want to put Hell on notice because I am a warrior in Christ who sets the captives free. I want no ebb in this flame! 🔥

Good Morning!

Why am I obsessed with deliverance ministry right now? Because the presence of God is like a bonfire in a blizzard. You don't want to be anywhere else. Every time I see someone get delivered, the power of God’s presence is palpable. As one Christian author said, “You must be emptied before you can be filled.”

Some people want to experience more of God but must first renounce and repent of the things that grieve God’s Spirit.
