Prayer and The Armor of God
We need to be people of prayer because prayer accesses the blessings that God has already provided for us. Below is a clip from Priscilla Shirer‘s movie “The War Room” that describes how important prayer is to spiritual warfare. https://youtu.be/A7ejr3IwHAk?si=4ulHfe635ntBuTWB Priscilla Shirer also has a good teaching series on Spiritual warfare called “The Armor of God”.

Urgent Help For Those In Need
Please join us in helping to meet the needs of these times. The Bible encourages us to help those in need, and right now the needs are great. Isaiah 58:7-8 (NIV) ‘Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and […]
God uses Disappointments to Fuel Our Comebacks
What does it mean to be disappointed? The prophet Isaiah must have felt disappointment when King Uzziah died. Uzziah was a great king. According to author Joan Comay in her book Who’s Who in the Old Testament, “During Uzziah’s long reign, Judah enjoyed greater military prowess and material progress than it had done for generations.” The […]
God is Giving Us A New Love Story
Many of us are familiar with the Biblical story of King David and Bathsheba. 2 Samuel 11:2-5 (NIV) “One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out […]
God is Speaking to Each of Us
In 588 BC, King Nebuchadnezzar’s army surrounded the city of Jerusalem. Two years later, this army succeeded in entering the city, burning down the Temple and other buildings, and deporting some of the citizens. This was a time of great destruction. Even the prophet Ezekiel posted on his prophetic Instagram account that Jerusalem would be destroyed (Ezk 24:1 -14). But in […]
Do You Want a New Heart?
When we founded this ministry in Arizona in the early 2000’s, it was at a time of a housing boom in Arizona. On any given morning, we could walk outside in the morning, and see a dozen cement trucks “spinning”, as well as a group of construction workers ready to pour the cement into a […]
Laborers in The Gospel
School is starting bright and early on the day after Labor Day. It is a new school year. The bus stop is full of kids. It puts me in mind of my mother when she traveled to Kenya for an outreach trip. She visited a one room village classroom. Frankly, the school room she encountered […]
Our Love for Jesus is Priority
Monday Morning. McDonalds. The scene includes people on their way to work. People who need to get a bite to eat and be on their way. Painters with their white shirts and pants, retired Military vets with their baseball hats complete with ship names and pins, personal trainers, and others. I watch as the manager […]
God is Still in Love With You
We remember fondly a great lesson from a very gifted Bible teacher, Mitch. The lesson was in Zechariah. In this lesson, we see the angel of the Lord asking a question: Zechariah 1:12(NIV) “Then the angel of the Lord said, “Lord Almighty, how long will you withhold mercy from Jerusalem and from the towns of Judah, […]
Who is This Jesus, What is He all About?
In N.T. Wright’s book “Simply Jesus “, the author starts off as I would have expected with the big question about Jesus “Who Do You Say You Are?” Bishop Wright leaves us with the sense that western Christians don’t spend the time or the energy to grapple with this question. Even by the author’s own admission, when this […]
