Do You Recognise the 3 Freedoms God Offers You?
(Galatians 4:1-5) This section of Galatians 4 speaks about how Christians are being adopted as the sons and daughters of God.

My Power is Made Perfect in Weakness
(2 Corinthians 12:1-10) Paul boasts in this section of scripture. But his boasts are not like the boasts of most men.

Weapons Of War
(2 Corinthians 10:4-6) In my last post I discussed the fact that we are at war, but it is not a physical war against flesh and blood. Instead we are at war in the spirit for our enemies are spiritual, the primary enemy being the devil himself. Needless to say, this is a different war,…

(2 Corinthians 4:7-12) Anyone who has faith will never doubt the power of God to protect and save.

Deliverance
(2 Corinthians 1:8-11) Deliverance is one of the many messages we hear Christians speak about. It is often used as a means to draw people into churches. There is a church near where I lived some years ago where they had a sign out front announcing a weekly prayer meeting for people to come and…

Using Tongues Properly
(1 Corinthians 14:20-25) One of the great concerns Paul had with the Corinthian church was about speaking in tongues, and especially the use of the spiritual gifts in the church setting.

Praying In Tongues
(1 Corinthians 14:13-19) In my recent posts I have been looking at the gift of tongues and breaking down some of the false teachings and myths. The only truth we should listen to is the truth that is from God as written in the bible, and much of the truth about speaking in tongues is…
