Coronavirus. Where did it come from? How did it start? The way it metastasizes so quickly—is it a curse to destroy civilization? Does its origin allow demons to kill and destroy? Let me be clear. COVID-19 is a virus. It is a disease. We should do everything possible scientifically to stop its spread and find […]

America is in a state of inconsistency. How you live from day-to-day during the COVID-19 crisis depends on your locality. Our friends in California are housebound. Here in Arizona, just across the state line, life is reasonably normal, except for the run on paper products. In places such as New York, a full quarantine is

We live in an age of scientism and rationalism. To suggest that a viral disease has a spiritual identity appears on the face of it ludicrous. But look at it this way. Yes, the coronavirus is an intracellular organism, an infectious agent. Its composition and agency are observable. But its identity as a pathogen can

The coronavirus epidemic, known by its abbreviated designation COVID-19, is demonic. But perhaps not in the way you think. This virus, which is causing panic in every sector of society, certainly could be a demon functioning as a disease. From my experiences, demons can operate three different ways. They can 1) cause a disease, 2) take

Coronavirus is a health crisis, especially in China. I get that. But balance is needed concerning how serious this really is. The media is milking it. Politicians are exploiting it. And people are dying, but not exactly in apocalyptic proportions. Depending on the actual stats by the time you read this, the deaths from this disease won’t

People are shocked when I say that half the people in good evangelical churches have demons. They are offended at such a suggestion. It makes them angry that I would dare make such a claim. But I stand by it, as preposterous as it sounds to some. As I’ve stated previously, only in North America

A week-ago Sunday, I was present at the church our family attends when I’m home. It’s a great church. Great worship. Great teaching. Great outreach. The opening welcome was a video presentation of all the ministries they offer to special groups. Singles, seniors, college, youth, the grieving, the addicted, marriage enrichment, to name a few.

Most of my time is spent doing one-on-one Personal Spiritual Encounters, on the road during seminars and at our ministry center in Phoenix, Arizona. Every year, I minister face-to-face to nearly 1,000 hurting individuals. That gives me unique insight into what spiritually holds people in spiritual slavery. The most common causes of human bondage I

It’s been two weeks since basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven others died in a California helicopter crash. The Superbowl paid homage with a moment of silence. His former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, immortalized him by giving every attendee a replica of his jersey at the next home game after the tragedy.

It has come to this. Many larger congregations already have armed security guards standing at the entry of their places of worship. But some have taken things further. Recent fatal shootings inside church buildings are now cause for alarm, prompting guidelines regarding what can be taken inside the sanctuary. Metal detectors aren’t at the entries
