In this age we see a proliferation of spiritual practices and
beliefs. These range from various religions and occult practices through
to Hollywood’s take on spirits and even demonic activity.
The only real reference for truth in this area is God’s ‘spirit
level’ the Bible. The scriptures reveal the reality of demonic activity,
how it can affect humanity, and includes how it may be dealt with.
To effectively sort out the problems that come through this realm we
must first understand human participation in allowing the manifestation
of these spirit entities...Listen to the Message

The Words of Our Confession
Do we please God with the things we say? God wants us to hold fast
to the words of our confession; our confession of faith in Him is a
reflection of our relationship with Him. What are we confessing?
Victory or defeat? Sickness or health? Provision or lack? Unbelief is
a health hazard in itself. It brings about a negative confession and
we'll soon see that we can't rise above our confession.
So change the confession...
Our hearts need to be full of God's Word so that what we speak is consistent with His Word. When our hearts reflect His Word, the confession of our tongue is in keeping with God's desire for us and what He's placed within our heart through His Word. We speak victory, health and prosperity (to name a few) because our faith is alive in Him and our tongue confesses (speaks) the truths that abide within our heart. Listen to the Message...

The Gospel of the Unders & Overs (Part 2)
The scriptures reveal that as mankind journeys through life we are
tested, tried and proven in regards to our attitude towards God. This
testing is done through temptations that are on offer which we
prioritize over God’s revealed will for our lives. The problem is often
that we do not believe that the Lord has our best interests at heart,
that He himself is good, and that He indeed loves us.
Biblical revelation directs us to understand that there is a battle going on for our free will and choice. We can choose what the world offers, that which would exalt ourselves, or those things that please God. The things which please God are actually the same things that bring us true happiness.
There is a battle going on from spiritual forces outside of our being to influence our decisions.
There is also a battle that goes on within us between the parts of our being which want God and the parts that want to submit to the outside influences. The only place of peace is making a ‘once for all time’ decision to be fully aligned under God’s way... Listen to the Message.

The Gospel of the Unders & Overs (Part 1)
As we go through life it is easy for us to assume that our thoughts
are simply our thoughts. The reality revealed in the scriptures is that
this is far from the truth. We are indeed influenced by unseen powers
which sway our thought life and impact our behaviour. Once we realize
that this is the case the next thing that we need to know is that these
unseen influences are looking for cooperation to participate with them
in their activities on Earth.
God often gets the blame for things which happen in our World. The sad reality is that it has always been mankind’s submission to these spirit beings which gives them power to cause the troubles that we see. It is the deception that this realm even exists that keeps the continued cooperation of humanity in place... Listen to the Message.

The Heart of Evangelism
Are you hungry for God? The world needs God! The world needs to
hear the Gospel message! The heart of Evangelism is having a hunger for
God and seeing the lost come into relationship with Him and share in
that same hunger.
We have been called to make disciples of the nations, to share the Gospel. We are all called to evangelise. We all need to be hungry for God...Listen to the Message

Truth Encounters (Part 2)
The power of our perceptions of who we are as an identity, how others
see us, and consequently how do we respond to life should not be
underestimated. What we hold as ‘our truth’ is often uncomfortably at
odds with ‘God’s truth’ about us. Our ‘truth’ is often merely a
perception that we have held, which has been programmed experientially
by life.
This programming can come through negative things said to us when we are vulnerable, or sometimes it comes through us having to draw our own conclusions about a situation because we weren’t encouraged or supported with positive counsel at the time. These are beliefs that we have taken to ‘heart.’
God has an answer. The truth from Him regarding our inner thoughts and beliefs will set us free...Listen to the Message.

Truth Encounters (Part 1)
Many of the problems that we encounter as Christians emanate from
strongholds that have been established in us in our formative years.
These areas where we lack true freedom are usually thought-based. They generally revolve around us operating from our perceived beliefs about our identity, how others see us and also how we should respond to these inner activities.
The Bible makes a distinction between the thoughts of our hearts and the knowledge that we have compiled in our conscious mind. We understand then that what we know logically is truth to which we attribute mental assent, but it is not necessarily ‘truth that sets us free.’ Often we need truth in the inner parts for lasting freedom.
The apostle Paul struggled with this area of knowing in his mind what he wanted to do but at the same time having other desires within himself working against him...Listen to the Message.
