If you or someone you know is needing supernatural healing, then this message may hold the very key you need to unlock the breakthrough in your life and in those around you.  You may have read the story in John 5:1–9, of the man at Bethesda who had been praying and waiting for his healing for thirty-eight years.  But do you know why he wasn’t able to receive his healing?  It wasn’t what he thought, and usually, it isn’t the reasons we think of in our life either.  In his case, it wasn’t the fault of the angel who only troubled the water occasionally, and it wasn’t the fault of the men who put others in the water before him.  

As you listen to this message, we believe the Lord is going to reveal to you any errors in your thinking that have been delaying not only your healing, but other blessings from the Lord that you need and have been praying for.

Be blessed as you HEAR!

In the beginning, the enemy didn’t waste any time entering the Garden of Eden to tempt God’s first children into believing they could “be like God,” their Father, through disobedience and their own human effort.  This desire to “be like God” has been in every child of Adam since, manifesting itself outwardly in a human phenomenon we call “perfectionism.”  Millions of people, including Christians, are affected by these frustrating and exhausting symptoms of “perfectionism,” but have little or no idea how to be set free.

In this study, we explore not only the human PROBLEM of perfectionism, but the spiritual SOLUTION, based on the Bible and our own personal experience, as well.  Be encouraged—like every other problem we encounter in life, Jesus is the answer to them all!

After many years of counseling and ministering to Christians, I believe we have discovered Satan's top “device” of taking what the Apostle Paul called, “advantage over us” (2 Cor. 2:11).  Satan is still using that same “device” on us that he used some 6000 years ago to gain advantage over the first couple in the Garden of Eden.  While he may try to disguise it outwardly to confuse us, inwardly Satan's purpose has always been to create DOUBT in GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for His children.  

I can’t tell you the number of born-again, spirit-filled Christians we have met who are wrestling with a myriad of physical and spiritual problems, not because they doubt that God loves the world, but because of doubt that GOD LOVES THEM personally and unconditionally.  When YOU carry feelings of unworthiness, due to past or present sins, mistakes, failures, circumstances, or disappointments, you are giving Satan easy advantage over YOU by disconnecting yourself from the greatest source of power for good in the universe—GOD’S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for YOU!

If this is resonating in your heart, we promise that YOU can live a life, not worthy of YOU, but of the One who LOVES YOU so much, HE MADE YOU WORTHY!

Psalm 42 is one of the most heartfelt and personal psalms David ever wrote.  It came out of a time when he faced not only overwhelming problems, but betrayal from the very people closest to him—his own family.  There is something about this psalm that speaks deeply to everyone who has been in a dark season where you can’t seem to find your way out. 

David experienced the OVERWHELMING, but he learned how to OVERCOME in the LORD, and so will you!  Imagine this: just as David’s son, Absalom, was heading to battle to kill his father and take his kingdom from him, God intervened in an amazing way.  Absalom’s life and prideful scheme was snatched from him as he was pulled from his mule, when his head and hair became tangled in the branches of a tree.  Wait until you hear all the prophetic revelation the Lord is speaking through this story!  

He has given us an encouraging prophetic message for every believer feeling OVERCOME by OVERWHELMING problems.  This revelation has changed our life, and we believe it will forever change the way you OVERCOME the OVERWHELMING in your life, today and in the future!

Be blessed as you HEAR!

Isaiah prophesied the coming Messiah would be called “Immanuel.”  Seven centuries later, Matthew began the New Testament by quoting Isaiah and giving us with the meaning of “Immanuel” as “God WITH us!”  Then Mark concluded his Gospel with this final statement: “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working WITH them…”  

The Lord has been speaking to us about the critical importance of understanding that Jesus the Messiah came to earth to be “God WITH US!”  He has been speaking to us about what this really means.  This revelation has changed the way we think about how God works with WITH us, and how we work WITH God.  We believe it will change the way you think as well!

Varvah opens Part 3 of this series by describing dimensions of DARKNESS that sadly, few Christians even know exists today, as multitudes struggle under demonic powers because of lies and ignorance.  Steve then breaks down the Genesis 3 story of the fall of man, as DARKNESS entered the Garden of Eden, lied and slandered God the Father, then took up residence in the souls of men.  You will want to understand and absorb every word of this important message as LIGHT exposes DARKNESS in all our lives!

Part 2 of a series of messages dealing with an often overlooked and misunderstood spiritual reality called DARKNESS!  In this study we explore the role DARKNESS played in three divine judgements, beginning with the least known which occurred between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.  Genesis holds important keys in understanding how DARKNESS works in the lives of believers and how the Spirit of God plays a powerful role in helping us overcome and defeat it.  Prepare to be spiritually strengthened and encouraged!

The Lord has been speaking about a spiritual reality that as Christians, affects us far more negatively than we previously understood.  That spiritual reality has a name, it’s called DARKNESS!  This series of messages was born out of the fire of learning firsthand the importance of not ignoring or becoming complacent in recognizing darkness, while learning to use the spiritual weapons of warfare the Lord has given us to overcome fear and be victorious over darkness in our own life and our loved ones.  Prepare to be spiritually strengthened and encouraged!

If you think you understand all you need to know about Christ’s resurrection, then fasten your seatbelt, click “PLAY,” and expect to get even more excited than when you first met Christ!  We will use a spiritual “jackhammer,” as well as a huge “magnifying glass” to bring the mysteries of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, hidden for centuries, into the light of Truth.  When we’re finished, not only will you have a deeper understanding of what Christ did FOR YOU, but a life changing revelation of what Christ did AS YOU!  Rather than being a distant spectator of His Passion, you will discover that you were actually a participator on that cross with Him!

Rather than beginning the New Year with a BANG, 2025 began with FIRE!  On January 7, when the Eaton and the Palisades Fires, erupted in Southern California, they quickly became the second and fifth most destructive wildfires in California history, destroying over 17,000 structures, and claiming at least 29 lives.  During their hellish reign, every news media outlet was inundated around the clock with more Breaking News on WHAT was happening.  But I remember there was virtually nothing being reported spiritually on WHY this was happening.  I found the silence from pastors, preachers, and even prophets to be deafening!  So, as a minister for over forty years, I decided to pray and ask the Lord for answers concerning these fires.  For several months I have written down the things I believe I’ve heard Him say.  At this point, the results are a THREE-PART TEACHING, beginning with an INTRODUCTION, followed by teaching on “WIND,” and then on “FIRE.”  I can tell you the Lord has a lot of very unique and valuable insight for us on this timely subject.  Prepare to be blessed by this introduction into the “WHY” of these fires, as well as storms, earthquakes, and other calamities from God’s perspective.  Happy listening!
