Many people are amazed at mediums and fortune tellers. "How did they know that?" someone will ask, or "I never told anyone about what happened in my childhood".  These strangers seemingly have otherworldly knowledge that they should never have about you and you can't help but think this is magic, they are supernaturally gifted. But what you don't know is that this is a spiritual parlor trick meant to bring you into a curse agreement and this is meant to bring you deceit and destruction. These people are regular people who have made a deal with monitoring and familiar spirits which have likely watched you since you were born. These spirits then feed information to these "fortune tellers" in exchange for their servitude and blood. These mediums can't actually see your future, or your past or present for that matter. When they make a contract with these familiar spirits, these spirits feed them information on your past and present that will allo...

Having Honest Motives Before God Part II A lot Christians worry constantly if they are living godly lives. They focus their attention on themselves. They try to live righteously in their own strength. Well, I can tell you, it's not possible! God did not design us to live in a self-focused manner and when we constantly try to get better on our own, be godly on our own, we are focusing all our attention - negative and positive - on ourselves, not the one who can actually change us. We are saved by grace through faith. Salvation is not based on our own works. We can never do enough or be good enough to become godly on our own. Righteousness comes from seeking God and allowing Holy Spirit to change us little by little. All we need to do is focus on Him. We need to focus our mind and heart on God, His Word, His will, and our motives will then become more righteous.  Instead of striving selfishly on becoming what we think God wants us to be, maybe we just focus on falling in love with th...

 Honest motives before God How can we be sure our motives are truly pure before God? When we come to Him in prayer, are our words rooted in selflessness—or driven by our own ambition? By practicing the following, we position ourselves for God to reveal what’s hidden within us, so we can release our own agendas and align with His purpose. 1. Ask God to purify our hearts.      a.  Before He creates a clean heart in us, He will first show us what is unclean in our hearts. Then we need to repent of that sin.     b. Once we truly repent, we need to fully receive the Lord's forgiveness for that impurity found in us.     c. Then we can c ry out to God to give us His motives. Psalms 51:10 "Create in me a clean heart, oh God, and renew a right spirit within me." Psalms 139:23 "Search me, oh God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Philippians 2:13 "...Fo...

 The other day I was reading through Psalms. Every time I open that book, something different rises to the surface depending on the season I'm walking through. Scripture has a way of meeting you exactly where you are.   Right now, I find myself deeply grieved by the evil being exposed in our world. The reports surrounding the Epstein files are horrifying. It’s sickening to consider what powerful leaders, entertainers, and business figures were/are doing right under our noses—and how many innocent lives have suffered because of it. But we must remember this: God is not blind, and He is not indifferent. Judgment belongs to Him. No one escapes His justice. Those who seem untouchable are still dust before Him—vapor in His hands. In His time, He will remind them who He is. In the meantime, Scripture gives us clear instructions. We are commanded to pray for those in authority over us. Not just the ones we like. Not just the ones we voted for. All of them.  We are told in Jeremi...
