Bible Verse of The Day – 7-1-15

July 1, 2015 by Pastor Curt

Hebrews 3:4 (NKJV) 4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.

Sometimes it may seem like the world is nothing more than a mad ball of chaos.

There is a constant, ongoing battle between good and evil. And many times it seems like evil might be winning, as we see what appear to be victories for the enemy all around us.

But we live here on the earth. And the earth was built by God, our heavenly Father. This is His house… His project. Therefore it has to abide by His word and His rules. So nothing that happens here shocks Him or causes Him to abdicate His throne.

We are the inhabitants of His creation, this earthly kingdom. As His children, we are also present and future inhabitants of His spiritual kingdom, here, on earth and later, in Heaven.

As His children, we have a responsibility to oversee what he has entrusted to us, in the natural and in the spiritual realms.

In the natural, we need to care for the earth and the material things He blesses us with.

In the spiritual realm, we need to do battle with those unseen forces of evil. Sometimes this will require us to stand and speak out, and be seen and heard by others.

But other times it requires us to do warfare in the spirit, without anyone else ever seeing or hearing from us. The only exception would be the devil. When we engage in spiritual warfare, he should feel the repercussions.

So with everything that’s happening in the world these days, if you’re not sure whether to speak out or not, the very least we should do is pray; rebuke the powers of darkness, bind demons and loose God’s freedom in the earth. Pray in the Spirit and push the enemy back with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 16:19 (NKJV) 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Let’s use the weapons that God has entrusted us with.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-10-15

February 10, 2015 by Pastor Curt

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Nowadays, everything is done by intellect, human knowledge and understanding.

Intellectuals will have a very hard time believing that there is such a thing as the devil, demons or evil spirits. They will try to explain it away with something that makes sense to their heads.

Everything these days seems to have to have a name. Demonic oppression has been replaced by hundreds of different kinds of disorders, which all have names, and which get treated with various kinds of prescription drugs.

Evil deeds are blamed on a person’s childhood, or something traumatic that may have happened to them, instead of admitting that evil has influenced a person’s mind and impaired their judgement.

Nobody wants to admit that evil exists, therefore, nobody ever tries to eliminate evil or deal with things on a spiritual level. And this causes evil to win way too many battles.

It’s time for the church, the children of God, to call evil what it is and stop falling for the nonsense that the world is feeding us. Yes, there are some psychological disorders that are real. But much of what is being passed off as a disorder of some kind is nothing more than demonic spirits wreaking havoc with a person’s mind.

So until the world sees evil for what it is, and treats it as such, evil will continue to prevail in so many areas of people’s lives, and in society in general.

It’s time for us to call it what it is and then treat it properly, with the blood and the name of Jesus. Only the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus will prevail over evil.

But we can only prevail over evil if we recognize it as evil and call it as such.
