In their celebration, the enemy made a big mistake. They forgot that Samson's hair, the one they shaved to subdue him, had begun to grow again. Drunk in merriment, they forgot to finish off Samson when they could, and worse off, they invited him as a guest of honor to their party, to be mocked upon. Big mistake. 3000 of the chiefest philistines lost their lives that day. The prodigal son, reduced to eating with pigs, when all seemed lost, started growing back his [...]
Happy New Year About two and half years ago, while working on my book, "What is God Doing Now?", the Lord impressed it on my heart to also do an accompanying course. I had thought I would get it done and launch them together. I sent an email and asked what you would like to learn from me. The 2 topics that came to the top based on responses were: How to start a ministry How to preach the gospel And so I set [...]
Moses was dependent on his mom, servants and guards in the palace. But he had to flee to the wilderness, for his life, when he drew the ire of Pharoah, by killing an Egyptian. In the wilderness, God moved him from dependence to Independence. God appeared in the burning bush and established a working relationship with Moses.

Or he could continue to live a life of pleasure, with no effort on his part. I suspect he prayed about this decision, and then chose not to take the path of least resistance. He chose to be on the right side of history, standing arm in arm with his brethren, esteeming their suffering far above [...]
Happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I'm sure you have a lot to be thankful for. That you have life, that you've been provided for this year, and that our precious Jesus Christ does not love you any less than He did last year. My team and I just got back from the missions filed in India and have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful for the multitude of people that came to know the Lord for the first time [...]
I am sometimes attacked by the devil because I have chosen as my life's work to assist plundering his kingdom for heaven. Benny Hinn talked about how people often say: "Pastor Benny, you have problems?" And he replies, "Yes, even more than you." Worship leader Don Moen thought twice about releasing his hit single "I will Sing" because he felt people would think: "Don, you have such huge problems." Sometimes life offers problems just for the sake of it. What do you do in [...]
