The Final Surrender
Back in the mid 1990s, God spoke to me in a vision as He so often does. This time I saw myself standing a few feet from the edge of a cliff. A speed bump was about a foot from the edge. Had I not known it was there, I could have
Wave a White Flag
Surrender. Isn’t that the last thing you want to discuss in a series on warfare? Aren’t we supposed to keep on fighting until the last trumpet blast? One of Dennis Jernigan’s recent CDs is Surrender. The title song says, “I’ll never give up to the enemy, but I surrender, Lord, to you.” That’s
He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother
Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with an urgency to pray. I don’t often know the exact circumstances or need, but I pray anyway until I fall asleep or the urgency leaves. This might have happened to you. It might happen a lot. It’s intercession, the fourth type of prayer. I…
Say, “Thank You, Daddy”
Ever feel a little strange telling God, “thank you”? Well, that’s exactly what the prayer of thanksgiving is all about. It’s also called praise. And worship. And honor. We read in Revelation chapter 5 that the angels and the elders before the Throne are constantly praising
But, Daddy, I Want That!
Most of us spend an inordinate amount of our prayer time asking God for things. Is this your pattern?

Even if the relationship survives the initial time of separation, often the people have changed ever that time. It’s like having to start all over again…
Attack With Prayer
What do you think just might be the most powerful weapon in our warfare? Prayer. We all know about prayer, right? But do we know why we pray? Is prayer more than just talking to God? Is He listening? Does He answer? Are there different methods of prayer to bring heaven to earth in different…
Interpret This!
Ever wonder just how someone could hear the same apparent gibberish you hear and start explaining it in English? That’s when the gift of interpretation of tongues occurs. This gift is evidence of God wanting to speak
What Did You Say?
Have you ever heard the gift of tongues spoken? Did you find yourself asking “What in the world are you saying?”, like they did when tongues was first given to Jesus’ followers (Acts 2:1-12). Well, sometimes
How’s Your Perception?
Have you ever heard anyone say, “perception is the only thing that counts”? There is a large grain of truth in this. It’s their perception that people present on the witness stand. Different people will see the same traffic accident but their versions are different. Is someone lying? Is someone mistaken? Not necessarily. It all…
