  • Unto The Churches Series: Ephesus 

      In the Book of Revelation, in chapters two and three, Jesus addresses the churches. While I realize that the Lord is addressing these historical, literal churches, many scholars believe that these churches represent certain church ages. I would add that each church that Jesus addresses has specific warnings and exhortations from our Lord to individual…

  • The Devourer

        Jesus tells us in scripture to be on the alert against the devourer. He says the devil is like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith,…

  • Frogs : Thief Series

    I was about to wrap up my series on the thief with one last blog, but the Lord brought to my attention a thief pertinent for today to mention. The first time we hear about frogs is in the book of Exodus as one of the 10 plagues. This is what the great LORD says: Let…

  • Spiders: Thief Series

       In the 58th chapter of Isaiah, the prophet speaks God’s heart concerning his people’s spiritual condition. The prophet points out the nation’s sins. The Lord never wants to bring judgment on anybody, but if his people will not repent of their sins sometimes he has to. The objective is to get our attention. Before…

  • Swine

     In our thief series, I would like to draw your attention to another adversary. I’m sure you have heard of this one. SWINE have not been given a bad reputation for nothing! So much controversy over this creature, and with good reason! Swine are interesting animals. For one thing, they are highly intelligent! They are…

  • Bewitching (Thief Series)

    In this next blog, I want to expose another tactic of the enemy that he uses to kill, steal, and destroy. This is the bewitching spirit.  We hear about this spirit in the book of Galatians. Paul asks these new converts in Galatia, ‘who has bewitched you?”  Before we get into this demonic culprit, let’s…

  • Tares: (Thief Series )

    Jesus relays a parable in the book of Matthew explaining what happens when we are ‘sleeping’ rather than watching in prayer.  But be sure that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed…

  • The Scorpion (Thief series )

    The next culprit the Bible talks about for the Christian to be aware of is the scorpion.  Scriptures tell us that the Christian is given power over serpents and scorpions, but did you ever wonder what scorpions mean? Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, and over all the enemy’s power,…

  • FOXES: (The Thief Series)

                      In part 3 of the thief series, I would like to talk about foxes. Scriptures use the analogy of the fox to depict certain characteristics which are dangerous to the Christian. Things to look for so that we can stay safe in Jesus. A fox is a nighttime predator. One who works undercover in…

  • The Serpent (Thief Series)

    Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. By definition, a thief steals another person’s property. In the world, there are different kinds of thieves. There are professional robbers and petty thieves. A petty thief steals things not highly valued. That is, the value attached to the property is not worth much monetarily.…
