 Spiritual Warfare? There are two primary errors when it comes to spiritual warfare—over-emphasis and under-emphasis. Some blame every sin, every conflict, and every problem on demons that need to be cast out. Others completely ignore the spiritual realm and the fact that the Bible tells us our battle is against spiritual powers. The key to successful spiritual warfa re is finding the biblical balance. Jesus sometimes cast demons out of people; other times He healed people with no mention of the demonic. The apostle Paul instructs Christians to wage war against the sin in themselves (Romans 6) and warns us to oppose the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:10–12 say s, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritu

When you have a family unit and one or both are in leadership meaning ministry there must be a balance in the marriage for the family unit especially if there are children but, not only the children to have a healthy loving marriage. If he/she is a leader of a congregation (meaning flock leading a church he or she must have a balance. That balance only comes from his/her relationship with the lord and the scriptures. To many times the family in a whole takes a backseat to ministry and his or her obligations to fulfill the charge and commission of the ministry itself and the congregants. Therefore balance must have it's part. When speaking about balance the scripture that comes into note (1 Timothy 3:5 KJV). The roll of the head for the family must be consistent with his/her relationship with the Lord so, that the family unit can function according to the scripture and everyone fulfill their purpose according to the scripture and have it's perfect work(Hebrews 4:12 KJV).

The man bowed low before the Healer, covering his face with his tattered coat. Long ago, he had been banished from his home to live outside the city with others suffering the same affliction. This was his destiny until he was cured, no longer contagious, or simply dead. Coming out to meet the Healer brought great risk. Jewish law declared him unclean and forbid him from mingling with the public. He looked around nervously, alert for the law keepers and those who often threw rocks to keep people like him at a safe distance.  By now, the disease was advanced. It had destroyed his nerve endings leaving unrecognizable clumps of damaged tissue where his toes, fingers and nose once had been. In spite of his repulsive appearance, the Healer reached out and touched him. He had not felt the touch of a human hand in so long. The touch alone held so much love it would have satisfied him. At that same moment, the lesions instantly disappeared, and his skin was restored as a curious power gentl

A NEW BEGINNING  Doesn't a new beginning sound great? When life becomes difficult, you have failed several times, you have messed up a perfect relationship, and you are bored of your job, your house, your friends, and family; a new start sounds exciting when we find ourselves stuck in the mediocrities of life. Do you know what Jesus did on the cross over two thousand years ago enables you to have a new start even now? Though many believers know this truth, they still live beneath this truth every day because somehow the lie of the old life seems to envelop their souls. The fact is the enemy of our souls knows if he can keep us looking back we would make little progress in the future God has for us. We all have a past, and for some, it may be memorable, for others it may be horrible. Whatever the past looks like the enemy majors in causing us to indulge in what was. We serve a God that loves to plan ahead for his children, and scripture tells us that his plans are always good in t

Case : David was anointed to be king 17 years earlier before he actually walked in the position. He had the anointing minus the position while Saul operated in a posit ion which he had no anointing.   Point: The anointing always precedes the position. God has already anointed you for a position of a future date. Just let Him continue to build you up in the things of God and He will use you mightily for His purpose .

Love in Action As Christians, we are called to show others love. Jesus told His disciples, "By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves]" (John 13:35). So many people see love as 'just a feeling,' but it's so much more than that. True love shows itself through action. And this action doesn't have to be impossible and overwhelming. One of the best ways to show the love of Jesus is through simple, everyday action,
