Life is not always what we perceive. Our emotions and even eyes can deceive us, but you can always take a moment to check your Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth. 

Jesus disciplines/corrects those He loves BUT do you love the correction He gives? Life and our relationships are all about who we give permission to correct us and who we love enough to correct. 

Setting your first captive free. If you don't go through deliverance or do deliverance, as the Bible says, you will be powerless in your ministry. "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed....to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." 

Do you let bad decisions and agreements stand? Our words and agreements and the words and agreements of those we lead matter. Leaders have the privilege and authority to cover those they lead by not letting their bad decisions stand. 

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.
