Look in a mirror and what do you see? A face, a body, maybe a few things you'd like to change. That's what most of us see. And that is exactly where the enemy wants your attention to stay. One of the oldest deceptions of the devil is to keep shifting our focus away from the spirit. He knows that a man has a spirit, a soul and a body, but he wants you to think you are only the body. He wants you to treat yourself as all flesh. Why? Because your spirit is crucial to your success and your...

If you just gave your heart to Christ, this is one of the very first things you should know. And if you've been a Christian for years, let it be a reminder. You need to understand what has happened to you. Christianity is the beginning of a new life. You have crossed over from darkness into light. And it isn't a small life. It's a full, abundant life in which we are promised to reign. Romans 5:17 says that "they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in...

In my last teaching, we talked about receiving the life of God: believing with our heart unto righteousness and confessing with our mouth unto salvation (Romans 10:9–10). Today I want to go a step further and look at the fullness of the life we've received. Here's the foundation. In salvation, God gave you eternal life. That isn't a small, spiritual add-on. It's the full and very life of God Himself. This life enables you to live above sin and all its consequences: sickness, pain, poverty,...

Success, in God's eyes, is measured by how submissive a person is to His will. That's one of the things that separates a truly successful person from someone who only looks successful. In this series on success, I keep coming back to Jesus, because He's the perfect example. He lived here on earth, went through everything any human being goes through, and He overcame. So if we want to know what success looks like, we look at Him. Jesus in the Garden In Luke 22, Jesus is about to go to the...

Your life on earth is only a tiny fraction of your whole life. So how can success be measured by what ends here? In this series I've been looking at success the way God defines it, not the way the world does. Today I have to take a step backwards and put a few things in their proper perspective, because everything else we say about success rests on this one truth: life is eternal. Life Is Eternal, Whether You're a Christian or Not Man is a spirit, and the spirit of man doesn't die. That's...

Some misunderstanding of the truth of God's word and the character of God has led many to romanticise pain & suffering by God's people. Embracing pain as if, for every minute of endurance, they get a higher point of reward either here on earth or in the world to come. This is the deception of the devil to limit Christians from enjoying all the benefits of the Eternal Life they have received through Christ Jesus. The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may...
