Learn how Paul and Silas walked through the valley of the shadow of death and feared no evil.

You have been given power and authority now go set the captives free.

Jesus has disarmed our adversary the devil of his power, but it is our job to enforce

his defeat.

We have been given power and authority to tread on serpents and scorpions,

and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

David shows us how to tread on our Goliaths and receive the victory.

How we run our homes is the proving ground for promotion in the body of Christ. Modern churches have become a one-stop-shop experience for all things spiritual. But the body of Christ is supposed to be so much bigger than a building where believers meet once a week. The world needs Godly families, loving homes, and people willing to share the gospel in their neighborhoods.

The end-goal for every Christian is that their entire soul to be radically reimaged in the very likeness of Christ, so that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs would be reclaimed as servants for Kingdom purposes, and not conformed to the world. When we lose the old life, we find out our new life is the very life of Christ.

Jesus said the wise person would build their house on the rock by doing his "sayings." For those of us that have been in church all our lives, sometimes we can become too familiar with the words of Christ, and let obedience slip. Let's be good stewards of the Word we know, that God may help us understand more.

There is no such thing as spiritual growth apart from understanding and obeying God's Word. As we grow in our understanding of who God is and who we are as His children, this knowledge is supposed to produce new fruit in our lives as we exercise obedience to it. This is what growth looks like in every believer.
