What If I told you that God wants to break you? What if I told you that being a Christian you were going to endure pain? What if I told you that knowing Christ could cost you your life? Would you still want Him? Would you still serve Him? Would you still trust Him? In this world we throw out broken things. They are despised. Sent to the refuse pile. God's economy is very different. He loves broken things. He loves despised things.

The problem comes in after the offense has been taken. Satan starts hurling insults and thoughts into our minds and we literally "fume" at all the thoughts that we are juggling in our heads. What we come into agreement with, will be the very thing that empowers us.. When you take up an offense you are giving the enemy a stronghold. Offense is Satan's trap and once we take the bait, he has us....

The "Spirit of Jezebel" what is it? It is a real spirit and is active and alive in our churches today. Find out how you can defeat this very strong spirit. One of the last letter to the churches, Jesus, strongly addressed the subject of tolerating the Jezebel spirit. Revelation 2:20-23 gives a clear picture that it leads astray the best of servants. Jesus, through John in the Book of Revelation, gives a strong warning of judgment on the Jezebel spirit.

Jesus didn't say, “Dream about your Father who is in the secret place,” but He said, “. . . pray to your Father who is in the secret place. . . .” Prayer is an effort of the mind, will, emotions and spirit. After we have entered into our secret place and shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray. The great battle in private prayer is overcoming this problem of our idle and wandering thinking. We have to learn to discipline our minds, out time and our hearts and concentrate on willful, deliberate prayer.

We have good works not to be saved, but because we are saved! "Good Works" should be the fruits of our transformed life.Make no mistake, your works will be judged because grace makes possible works that are acceptable to God. This life has one purpose and it is to accomplish His work.

"But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37 If that was the only verse in the Bible that warned about our words, just those two verses alone would be enough to demand that we camp here until our tongue gets saved!

We all have that room in our house that we choose to ignore and we make sure the door stays shut tight! Especially when company comes over. We know we should probably clean out that room but are reluctant to deal with it because what's behind that door is a mess! We have no problem showing off the rest of our house but when guests come over we make double sure the door is shut. It is no different in the spiritual realm. We can easily show off our spiritual house and it looks in really good order, but, if someone should ask, "What's behind that door?" we would change the subject or divert their attention to something that looks good. We may be able to hide what's behind that door to others, but we can't hide what's behind that door from God.

Our God is not slightly more intelligent than man. He is far superior and the gap between what and how we think is huge. The enemy would love for us to believe that our thinking is close. Hell seems to be one of the things we can't figure out, so we have difficulty with even the concept of hell. Would a loving God really send people to Hell?
