Here we go with part 2 of WHAT IS COVENANT? Let me just start by saying that God always deals with us by covenant. As such, grace is a mystery to those who do not understand that. Grace is also a mystery to those who do not understand the Father's nature. Grace is not justice … Continue reading What Is Covenant – Part 2
What Is Covenant – Part 1
This teaching goes deep into Truth about covenant. As a result, it is in two parts and it will only scratch the surface of how to explain what covenant means. Stick with this teaching and study it, don't just read it. If you'll do that, you'll discover a new freedom found in the covenant of … Continue reading What Is Covenant – Part 1
Not Words, But Power
God always wins. Victory is already complete. We, as heirs and joint heirs with Jesus join in and enjoy this victory. This is because God is the God of all power and He gave to us this power. This power is revealed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's the gospel of grace. Paul describes … Continue reading Not Words, But Power
Forgiveness – Yes, No, or Maybe
This teaching was inspired by a study I did on the Truth about forgiveness, as a result of a question I received on that subject. Before I continue, I must put in this disclaimer. There are a few quotes and scriptures taken from a post on the Escape To Reality website, by Dr. Paul Ellis, … Continue reading Forgiveness – Yes, No, or Maybe
Revival – What Is It?
What about this thing called “Revival”. We have revival meetings. We talk about revival, but many people do not enter into revival.

Revival cannot begin in the church, in a … Continue reading Revival – What Is It?

Power and Glory
What is Power? Everyone wants power in some form or another. The problem is not everyone can manage the power they are given. Having power demands the authority to exercise that power. Exercising power properly demands accountability. There are many who have power, but are using it to destroy rather than to rebuild, restore or … Continue reading Power and Glory
Bible, Word, or Gospel
You can be a bible preacher, a word preacher and not be a gospel preacher. There's a huge difference between preaching the word or the bible and preaching the gospel. Here's an example. I'm paraphrasing here. Matthew 27:5 says Judas hanged himself. In Luke 10:37 Jesus says go and do likewise. Now both of those … Continue reading Bible, Word, or Gospel
God Cannot
There are many things God cannot do. The reason He cannot do them is because He said He could not. Since God only speaks truth, whenever He says something it becomes truth, which lines us up for the first thing God cannot do. God cannot lie. Titus 1:1,2. 1. This letter is from Paul, a … Continue reading God Cannot
It’s Your Choice
You've heard people say it. “What choice did I have?” Usually this is said after they get into some sort of negative predicament. The question is usually focused toward one particular incident, rather than at the big picture. It's similar to the statement “you can't see the forest for the trees”. The focus is all … Continue reading It’s Your Choice
