Jezebel and Chicomecoatl

There are times when I am ministering that the Lord gives me a word which makes all the difference in someone’s deliverance. I was doing a phone Encounter last week when such a word came: “Chicomecoatl.” The woman receiving prayer had no idea what I was talking about, but the demons did. They manifested immediately …

REAL Spiritual Warfare

Few ministries get the inquiries that we do. Some questions we receive are inciteful, others theologically challenging, and many heart-wrenching. Recently, a mother named Jill sent me an email saying, “My only child shot herself four years ago. Ever since I’ve been attacked by demons. I am a saved Christian but pray for God’s help …

America Gone Crazy

Is the body politic of America losing its mind? Just weeks ago, a statue was nothing more than a relic of recognition related to some long-forgotten individual. Now, such symbols are flashpoints of cultural divide. Last month, Donald Trump was our controversial new twitter President. Now, TV pundits and psychiatrists are weighing in on his …

Artificial Intelligence

Don’t worry about being hit on the highway by a driverless automobile. Something worse this way comes. The race is on to produce artificial intelligence, AI for short. Silicon Valley and America’s tech industry are feverishly working to come up with machines approximating human intelligence. But more than that, scientists want to devise a Hal-Space-Odyssey-like …

Spiritual Gifts

I’m often asked about spiritual gifts. Most want a simple answer. There isn’t one. Of course, there are the spiritual gifts that Paul mentions in 1 Corinthians chapter 12. These get the most focus, especially from Pentecostals. But there are other spiritual gifts. Romans 12:6 speaks of spiritual gifts, but places them in a broader …

Incredulity

“Incredulity” is one of those impressive words that carries more weight than its somewhat obscure meaning. It’s defined as the unwillingness to believe something, or more extremely, the willful refusal to accept the truth. I assert that this state of mind is one of the biggest problems facing evangelical Christians. For the most part, born …

Psychiatry and Possession

. I am indebted to my good friend, Pastor Steve Strader, in Lakeland Florida, for passing on a fascinating new report entitled “Psychiatrist Admits Mental Illness is Caused by Demonic Possession.” (The full account can be found at: http://yournewswire.com/psychiatrist-admits-mental-illness-is-caused-by-demonic-possession/). Richard Gallagher, board-certified psychiatrist and professor of clinical psychiatry at New York Medical College, admits to …

Preposterous Preachers

Let me be clear from the start about two things. I am using the word “preposterous” in the sense of “contrary to reason,” not stupid or ridiculous. Also, I’m going to focus on a particular preacher, because that’s the inspiration for this blog. I was browsing a Christian web site which promoted a sermon called …

Historical Revisionism

“Historical revisionism” is usually an academic pursuit, the scholarly challenge to orthodox views of the past. It’s usually done as the result of new facts or evidence that sheds different light on former events. The purpose is to refine the view of an historical event based on new information. Such an arcane academic art may …
