Have you ever made a promise of commitment and wish you hadn't? Numbers 30:4 gives those in authority the ability to not let the words and decisions of those under him stand. But if the father says nothing the bad decision stands. If we hold a place of authority we must know how to forbid. 

Why did the Lord ask Abraham to give up the son that was most precious to him? And what is the Lord asking of us?

If you are in ministry, you are a target for the enemy. 

Are you willing to be a fool for Christ? 

Are you asking yourself the hard questions? Are miracles not happening because of God…or because of us? There are so many promises God has given, but they remained unclaimed, unused. Only an unoffended heart can find them. 

What satan means for evil and harm, God weaves for good. God's will is not automatically happening on the earth, but when we partner with Him, He weaves even the most terrible things for good. 

Victory is not automatic when the enemy attacks. The Lord has put weapons and tools in our hands to win the battle every time but it is up to us to use those weapons until we see the enemy defeated. 

The feast of Purim started in 480 B.C. When you look through history you see the same spirits and evil at work to destroy God's people. What Esther and her people went through has striking similarities to the Jews in WWII. God's will prevails when His people choose courage in the face of impossibilities.

What causes some people to make it in ministry and others to not? "The one sown with seed on the rocky places, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately he falls away." - Matthew 13:20-21. Do you have a firm root in yourself? Do you have personal inner strength?
