Battle Plan with Steve Hemphill

I was raised as a cessationist. That means I was raised to believe that all miracles and revelations and spiritual gifts ENDED when Jesus ASCENDED and the New Testament was finished. Only the APOSTLES were able to access them. This means that when the last apostle died, those special abilities ceased. They were only necessary to validate Jesus and the church to help it get established, and would not be needed after that. Is that true? This study investigates that view, and you might just be surprised what Scripture actually teaches in this area. (By the way, if I was a paid preacher at most any kind of church today, WHATEVER position I took would most probably get me fired. The good news for me is that since you don't pay me you can't fire me. Therefore I am free to just teach what the BIBLE says on this.) I just want to “speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent,” but the Bible conclusions here might shock you… Part 1 introduces this study with a listing of spiritual gifts and a thought question.

I recently got an email from Lisa in another state. She was beginning to realize that many of the current problems and challenges she was facing MIGHT just be rooted in some unwise past decisions. She sent me a list of these issues and described in detail the progress she was making, asking for my input on how to advance further in finding freedom and happiness. This list MIGHT just be some of the same issues YOU are facing, so her story and the ideas I added just might encourage you, too!

This is an amazing story of a woman who rescues women from strip clubs. She takes them flowers, asks about their needs, and offers to pray with them. She has rescued many from this sort of life, and often goes to the same club to connect with these women, but the club owner saw her as an ENEMY–UNTIL she put Scripture in the ground around the location.

A Christian group was praying around a Texas city at each city limit sign. One woman involved in the event happened to be stationed near a large church.

I was asked this question at the end of a recent event in Nashville, TN, and it's a fairly common question. Some Christians worry about demonic kickback or repercussions from actively getting involved in unseen battles. What SHOULD the Christian response be to that?

Kingdom Keys… King David had one. Peter was given one, and Jesus announced that in front of the other disciples. Does God still give out kingdom keys to ministries and to people, or possibly do we ALL have keys to unlock kingdom doors for certain people or certain groups? After all, EACH one of us can reach people for the Kingdom of God that NO ONE else can reach, right?
