Can we get the mark of the beast without knowing it? No! But we can fall into the deception of the Great Harlot without realizing it. The Great Harlot is the deception behind ALL religions and all the secular governments of the world. The deception of the Harlot is so subtle and reasonable that the great majority of believers willingly participate in it. It is not an open attack on our faith but subtly turning our hearts away from God. This is not one of those messages that will fill you with fear; it will help you to understand what's really going on in the world and how you can prepare to escape the consequences of the Harlot's deception. Join me this week in CyberChurch for Fornicating with the Harlot. The eyes of your heart will begin to open immediately! Complete freedom will be something you can see and confidently expect.

So many people fear they may unknowingly accept the mark of the beast. That can't happen! The mark of the beast must be a deliberate choice to trust the beast for the protection and provision promised by God! But there is a precursor to the mark… the deception of the Great Harlot. The Great Harlot is a seductive, almost non-perceptible strategy to get the inhabitants of the earth to accept values, morals, and ethics that oppose God's Word. The harlot is deceiving most believers, and they don't realize it. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover the strategy of the harlot and how to free yourself from her deceptive, destructive life philosophies.

God has an incredible plan for our lives: life to its fullest. Yet, so many godly, dedicated believers are not experiencing the fullness of life. Week after week, we hear messages that beat us up, tell us we don't have enough faith, or what we'll have to do to earn that life. You'll never find the solutions you seek looking into religion. After all, religion got us off track to start with. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the difference between the path and the mountain, i.e., the process and the goal. You'll discover that you probably have everything you need to step into God's best life!

Everything God does in our life is a work of grace. That means if we can understand how to have victory in one area, we know how to have victory in every area. Grace is a power, capacity, strength, and ability that comes by unmerited favor and works from our heart. Paul attributed the effectiveness of his ministry to the grace of God. Join me this week in CyberChurch for The Grace Continuum and learn how to unlock the power of God in every area of your life.

Moses wanted to know God's ways. Contrary to false religious ideology, unlike all the world's false gods, God is not beyond knowing. In fact, since He is a relationship-oriented being, He wants us to know and understand Him. The better we know Him, the better the relationship, and the more we trust Him. Understanding God is more about patterns rather than single bits of information, and understanding those patterns comes from a combination of knowing the Bible and developing an understanding heart. Join me in CyberChurch this week for “Complementary Opposites” and renew your mind to an entirely new dimension of thought.

God wants every believer to experience His power and glory. In fact, God is only glorified when we do things that emerge from His power. There is no glory for Him when we do that which we do by our strength, tenacity, and willpower. Join me this week in CyberChurch to discover the simplicity of demonstrating the power of God that manifests His glory.

The times we are tempted to run away from God in shame or hide behind our excuses are the times we should run directly to God. When we find the Most Holy Place of God, we don't find a Judgment Seat, we discover the Mercy Seat and the Throne of Grace. God never condemns us because of our failures; instead, He accepts us with compassion and kindness. He doesn't send us back into the world to do the best we can. He gives us the power to be who He says we are. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover the peace and joy at the Throne of Grace and experience the power to overcome every temptation.

Some believers spend their entire life trying to understand the will of God for their lives. However, the Bible clearly states the will of God for our lives. Most people are really asking, “What is my destiny?” God has one overall destiny for all the human race. In order to understand my personal destiny, I must first understand the destiny of all mankind. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we rethink, from a biblical perspective, what it means to discover the perfect will of God and exactly how that is done!

There are so many dimensions to the blessings God offers the believer. Religion would have you believe there is a secret formula, special faith, new revelation, or unique anointing needed to access each different gift of God. This comes from Gnostic religious beliefs that have crept into Christianity over the centuries. Actually, the Scripture makes it clear how we can experience the many dimensions of God's fullness. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the simple Biblical process to every blessing of God.

Our God lives beyond the dimensions of space and time. This is why He can see and predict the outcome of everything that occurs in our universe. One of His names is Jehovah-Jireh. Many have simplified this name to mean “Jehovah will provide.” Actually, this name means He will see and provide. He will look ahead in our lives and provide us insight and direction to avoid the “potholes.” Join me this week in CyberChurch to discover how the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God can lead you to the best possible outcomes for your life!

There are hundreds of prophecies that foretell what is coming upon the earth and provide instructions about how we can prepare for what's coming. The Holy Spirit wants to be our counselor and comforter. He wants to lead us to victory in every area of life. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we talk about Prophetic Preparations and how you can know God's plan for your protection and provision.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus explains what can be done to keep your heart engaged, which makes you strong and stable enough to be delivered from the tribulation. In Luke 21, He explains it from another perspective. Instead of looking at all that is going wrong and the horrors to come, we should be looking to and listening to Jesus explaining how we can escape. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore the mystery of being ready to escape the coming destruction of the world.

In 40 AD, Titus of Rome began a siege against Israel. According to historians, 1,100,000 Jews died in this siege. That same historian also says that no Christians died in that siege. How is that possible? Thirty-eight years beforehand, Jesus provided instructions for surviving the destruction of Jerusalem. By following His instructions, the church enjoyed unique protection. Jesus continues to provide us with instructions to escape the destruction occurring in the world. We tend to listen to every preacher and prophet while ignoring the wisdom of our Savior. Join me this week in CyberChurch to discover the unique mystery of how every Christian in Jerusalem escaped death and learn how you can apply that in the trouble that is coming.

Of all our fears, the greatest is probably the fear of death. It is the ultimate unknown… or is it? We are facing a unique time in history. There are actually options arising that give us choices we've never had. For the first time in the history of the world, we can choose how we will die. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover your biblical options and how you can cross over with peace and joy!

In the not too distant future, Jesus, the bridegroom, will call out for His bride, the Church, to come to Him for the great catching away. While the world is plunging into the worst tribulation since the beginning of Planet Earth, the bride of Christ will enjoy one of the greatest heavenly celebrations in all eternity! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discuss the great catching away and the heavenly gathering!

Jesus anticipated these dark times in which we live. But, He didn't leave us without hope. The word “hope” means a confident expectation of good things. The secret to hope and comfort in these troubled times is to think, share, meditate on, and ponder the rapture. The rapture is the most bizarre promise God has ever made. Not only will the rapture deliver us from the evil of this world, but it will also be the beginning of undeniable realities that reveal God's goodness. Join me this week in CyberChurch and find hope as we explore a worldwide event about which there are more prophecies than any other time in history!

A day will come when every believer will stand before Jesus. The Bible calls it the Judgment Seat of Christ. Unfortunately, religion has led us to believe that all judgment is negative; but that's not true. The Judgment Seat of Christ is not about discovering all our faults; it's about discovering everything we did right! In fact, all we have done that is unacceptable to the Lord will actually pass through the fire and be destroyed. In other words, we will never stand before Him with anything that will bring us shame. He will reveal everything, no matter how small, that honors Him. We will then receive rewards for those things. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the place of rewards and inheritance and what we can do to affect our standing in the Kingdom of God!

One of the most overlooked and ignored teachings of Jesus is the fact that He will return to earth and overthrow the antichrist and his followers. Jesus will then establish His Kingdom here on earth where He will rule and reign for 1000 years. The exciting thing is this: we will rule and reign with Him. We will all have a role in His earthly Kingdom. Do you want to have some understanding of your role in His Kingdom? Check out this week's CyberChurch message “Faithful Servants,” and start making plans for your position in the coming Kingdom.

Knowing the difference between rewards, inheritance, and our position in Christ is essential for the believer desiring to live the best quality of life possible. Jesus' parables of the Kingdom were not about going to heaven or hell; they were about the Kingdom of God and our inheritance in that Kingdom. Join me this week in CyberChurch and begin to discover how you can share in your inheritance now.

In the ancient Hebrew family, the heir was raised under a tutor that taught him how to make good decisions. He learned how to manage the inheritance. His capacity to manage the family resources affected him and his entire family. God has given us a personal tutor: the Holy Spirit. He works in us to lead us into the very best decisions possible. If you want to discover how to flow with your personal coach and tutor, join me in CyberChurch this week for The Great Teacher.

We've been taught that our adoption took place when we were born into the body of Christ. But if we were born into the body, we can't be adopted into the body. We were born again by the Spirit of God, thereby becoming children of God. Adoption is about our connection to our inheritance. In a Jewish family, the heir apparent was tutored so he would be ready to inherit and manage the family resources, at which time he would receive his inheritance. Even though we were given our inheritance when we were born into the family of God, a special tutor was given to teach us how to manage and maintain our Kingdom resources. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover our personal mentor, the Spirit of Adoption. This will inspire you and help bring back the passion and excitement you had when you were first saved!

The Apostle Paul tells us of a mystery unfolding here on Planet Earth. It is educating all the principalities, powers, and names that can be named. The full revelation of this mystery will be so overwhelming, it will transform our every concept of God! We will see and understand God in ways we never imagined. You can begin to share in the mystery now, and it will forever change everything in your life! If you're ready to start sharing in the mystery now, join me this week in CyberChurch for Manifesting the Mystery

One of the most insidious lies promoted by religion is this: When you fail or give in to temptation, you give the devil authority over you. When Jesus was raised from the dead, He said, “All authority is given to me in heaven and earth.” If the authority was given to Him, we can't give it away. It's not ours to give. The Bible says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit has more power than the devil had before he fell. We have more authority than he has ever had. We have nothing to fear. Join me this week for CyberChurch as we reveal from the scripture that: Nothing Has Dominion Over You!

The Holy Spirit is not the doer of the word; He is the one who helps us do the word. When we believe the truth and make the decision to put it into practice, He immediately begins to work in our hearts to make us able. But He can do nothing until we decide whether or not we will trust God's Word. Join me this week in CyberChurch for a whole new look at how the Holy Spirit works in our lives, making us able to do, be, and have all that God says is ours.

No matter what your desire may be, the Holy Spirit has a way to lead you into its fulfillment with absolutely no destruction in your life. Sons of God are led by the Spirit. A son of God is like the elder son in the family who has been qualified for his inheritance. God wants to lead you by His Spirit into your inheritance which is better than anything you have ever seen, heard, or imagined. Join me this week in CyberChurch, and let's take the first step in being led by the Spirit.

Jesus promised to send us a helper who would be with us and in us. This helper is the Holy Spirit. “Just what does the Holy Spirit help us do?” you might ask. He helps us do everything God says we can do, and He helps us take hold of everything God gives. He opens our eyes to see what the natural mind cannot see. Without the Holy Spirit to help and strengthen the believer, all we have is information that we can never get to work. Join me this week in CyberChurch for an incredibly encouraging message: "Welcome Holy Spirit".

There are at least four different ways people view and experience Christmas: those who participate as a time for family and love it; those who participate out of obligation and begrudge it; legalists who consider it a pagan observance; and believers who struggle to make it more meaningful. This week, I want to show you how to turn Christmas into an incredible experience. If you are struggling with the economy, corrupt politics, and dishonest big tech, I've got something that will encourage you more than you ever imagined. In fact, this may revive the passion you had for God and the life you had as a new believer or instill a passion you've never had. Join me this week in CyberChurch for “Any Day Now.”

A committed believer rarely gets into difficulty by completely rejecting God's Word. But we do find ourselves struggling to be sure of what God actually meant. The serpent asked Eve, “Hath God said?” That could mean anything from “Did He say it at all?” to “Are you sure He said that?” to “What did He really mean?” In other words, he was looking for any area of the interaction where she lacked confidence. I want to share with you how you can hear God and hold on to what He is speaking to you. Faith has to be sure! The moment you become unsure, you have become vulnerable to manipulation. Join me for this week's CyberChurch message, “Hath God Said” to learn more.

Only recently has science actually discovered what the Bible has revealed for thousands of years: throughout the universe, there are portals whereby one can move through various dimensions. In fact, it was a thirteenth-century theologian who first discovered from the Bible that there are ten dimensions to the universe, and how that was affected by the fall of man. The most important portal into another dimension is the one that moves us from our current dimension into the presence of God. It is in this dimension that we can experience the life and renewal of God through the Lord Jesus in very specific ways. Join me this week as we begin a new CyberChurch series, The Portal Into His Presence!

The Bible tells us that we can have an incredible life beyond description - a life so good that nobody has ever seen, heard, or even imagined anything like it. But the Holy Spirit will teach and show us how to enter into the very best life possible here on Planet Earth. In this week's CyberChurch message, we discuss the transformation of Christ, how we can follow His example and enter into a transformation that takes us out of this limited, destructive life. We can leave behind all the pain of our past and enter into something beyond anything we've ever imagined. Join me this week for insights into one of the most critical functions of Christ's mission and how it affects us.

The focal point of all Christian faith focuses on the resurrection of Jesus. Faith in the resurrected Lord in our heart is the key to the new birth, healing, deliverance, prosperity, protection, sanctification, righteousness, and every other aspect of the New Covenant. Yet, religion has deceived us into believing that faith in the resurrection is relegated only to the new birth! So many believers think they don't have enough faith for the promises of God, but they do! The simple reason our faith often fails is that we do not understand that all the promises of God are wrapped up in our beliefs about the resurrection. Join me this week's CyberChurch message, Resurrection Power,” and you will discover: Why the resurrection is crucial to your faith Every promise of God is realized through our faith in the resurrection What really happened to Jesus in the resurrection How we can enter into the resurrection The power of resurrection life that works in us How God encoded His life in Jesus at His resurrection This will enhance everything you know about the mystery of God's life, the operation of faith, how to experience resurrection life, and much much more! You can live in victory, get on with your life, be a blessing to your family and friends, and live in peace and joy.

“Normal” is usually defined by family culture and life experiences. For some, abusive relationships are normal. For others, poverty, dishonesty, or chaos is normal. The fact that something has become normal to us means we accept it, allow it, and even expect it, and without realizing it, we play a role in creating it. God wants to give you a new normal. Join me this week for CyberChurch, and I'll share a short message to help you step into a new normal. But only listen If you want your life to get better.

In everything God tells us to do, He actually provides the process and the power to accomplish them. Our responsibility is to believe Him and choose to follow His instructions. The Bible tells us to “Be Strong in the Lord and the power of His might.” What would you do to follow His mandate? Few people actually know what they would do to be strong in God and His power! Since God instructed us to do this, it means He has explained the process to make this a reality. Join me this week for Cyberchurch, and I'll share God's instruction for becoming strong in Him!

God has called every believer to make the same journey: come out of the world's system and discover Heaven on Earth! The Israelites modeled this journey when they left Egypt and went forth to Canaan. Egypt represents the world; Canaan represents the Kingdom of Heaven! The Israelites had never been to Canaan; they didn't know where it was; they didn't know how to get there, and they had no map! Likewise, we too are called to live in the Kingdom of Heaven. We don't know where it is or how to get there. It is a journey of the heart! This week you can begin to discover how to connect with God in your heart, hear the voice of God in your heart, and experience the power of God flowing from your heart! Join me for CyberChurch and discover the heart journey to Heaven on Earth!

The Bible says Jesus preached the parables of the Kingdom, then He ministered healing and deliverance to those in need! Many people have asked, “why don't we get the same result as Jesus from our preaching and believing?” There are many possibilities that can be considered when answering such questions. Based on the law of the seed, the one determining factor of the fruit we produce is the seed we sow and the ground wherein it is sown! In my 49 years, I've heard few sermons that were based on the Kingdom of God. It has become prevalent that believers know almost nothing about the Kingdom, or how it can work here on earth as it does in Heaven. The great irony is this: Jesus our Lord told us specifically, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…” So join me this week for CyberChurch, and we will discuss seeking the Kingdom of God in the priority Jesus emphasized. You may discover an incredible shift in the quality of your life and the power of God's Word when we seek the Kingdom first!

I have great news for you and a little bad news. The great news is that the Bible says, “Seek and you shall find.” The bad news is - what if we’re seeking the wrong things? What if we’re seeking things that bring chaos and destruction into our lives, hurt our marriage, and corrupt our children? Nobody would admit to it, however, we do often seek incredibly destructive things thinking if we can get them, all of our problems will be solved. Jesus doesn’t want us to be confused. He wants you to understand His priorities. But where do we start and what should we seek to make sure we don’t go off track and mess up our lives? Watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast, “Making the Journey, and learn how to get your priorities right so you’re not seeking the things that will destroy you and your family. You will find out how easy and light life can be. What a great life you can have if you actually harmonize your priorities with God’s!

It’s incredible the number of people who have come to me as a pastor or counselor and said, “I just want to start over. I’ve made such a mess of it. I’m sick of it. I’ve made so many mistakes and so many things are going wrong. I don’t know how I’ll ever have a life or future.” Sadly, most people believe their past is who they are, and they’re tormented and driven by it. It’s become their identity. But I have great news! God wants to give you a brand new life. He’s already made a way for you to be delivered and to step into the brand new life He’s provided for you. Jesus overcame all you’ve ever been outside of Him so you could walk away from that old life. It doesn’t matter if it happened before you got saved or things you’ve done outside of Jesus as a believer. If you’d like to leave your past behind and finally have a shot at building a life based on the beliefs and choices you make now instead of fighting stuff from the past, watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast, “Creating a New Past.” Start down a pathway to freeing yourself from your past, no matter how bad or how long ago it was. You can step out of your past and into the true identity God has provided for you in Jesus. You can have an incredible life!

Our identity is, in large part, based on our memories. We tend to believe we are the sum-total of our life’s experiences. But God has never wanted you to be a slave to your past. We think we are what we have experienced. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I talk to you about choosing and changing your memories. God tells you what is important to remember and how it will benefit your life. Join me this week for: Change Your Memories, Change Your Identity!

It’s amazing how many believers are intimidated by what we think is science. It’s also amazing how many references are made to something being scientific or coming from scientific research when, in fact, it’s nothing but someone’s opinion and has never been proven. I remember the first attempt by a preacher to convince me that the idea of extraterrestrials was presented in the Bible. I looked up the Scripture reference given and, of course, couldn’t see any proof to support his claim. The only “extraterrestrials,” if you will, that the Bible ever mentions are angels. The Bible does not indicate any other beings alive anywhere in the universe. However, in an effort to disprove God, some people want you to believe that aliens of super-intelligence created the human race. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I share things you’ll probably rarely ever hear. You’ll learn the difference between real science and false science that constantly seeks to undermine your faith in God. You’ll discover the goal they hope to accomplish by telling you these things and how you can protect yourself by knowing the truth. This message is Bible-based, encouraging, and will help strengthen you for anything you may face on Planet Earth.

"The Bible tells us that there is a way we can have patience when we face trials and tribulations, particularly the type of tribulations that will be coming in the not-too-distant future. “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity. He who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword, and here is the patience of the saints” (Revelation 13:10). In a nutshell, this is saying that if we understand the persecution's outcome, we will have patience as we go through it. This week in CyberChurch we are looking at several key events in the Bible in which it seemed impossible for God’s people to have a positive outcome. But there was a good outcome in each of those situations. When we understand those events and what the Bible teaches about them, then, we can be confident in the outcome when people begin to persecute, attack, and kill. If you want to feel stable, confident, bold, and be filled with faith, no matter what happens on Planet Earth, watch “The Patience of the Saints.”

Every reason we could ever come up with to be afraid of the devil is a religious lie that is holding us captive and keeping us from being who we really are in Jesus. To understand what’s happening in the world right now, it is crucial that we understand what happened with Lucifer in ancient history. If we don’t understand the battles and struggles that have taken place in the past, we will not understand what is happening right in front of us. Even worse, we won’t be able to see what’s coming and prepare ourselves as events unfold. To live as overcomers, it’s absolutely essential that we put an end to all fear of the devil. The devil is a liar and has no power over us. When we’re overwhelmed and afraid of being put into a situation we just can’t win, we have to realize that Satan's every attempt to overthrow God and the human race has failed miserably. If you feel you’re fighting an overwhelming battle and need some encouragement, watch this week’s CyberChurch broadcast. “The Imaginary Battle” will boost your faith and confidence. You will find yourself standing on the Rock, having victory and peace, and not afraid of anything!

For decades we have been deceived. It starts with the methods for dating fossils and the universe. The Old Universe theory stands in stark opposition to the biblical record. In fact, the only reason these incredibly unreliable methods are used is that they oppose the Bible. Even though we have biblical accounts and written records from ancient civilizations globally, we are still told we don’t know who built the pyramids and other ancient megalithic structures. The problem is not that they don’t know; the problem is that the facts support the Word of God. This week in CyberChurch, I share one of the most interesting and significant ancient mysteries. The Bible reveals that portals were used to allow “Watchers” to cross over from eternity to Plant Earth. Watchers were a specific type of “angelic-beings” that could not be distinguished from humans, whom God used to serve the heirs of salvation. When they rebelled, they used these portals to cross over and bring evil and destruction to the world. Join me this week to discover why this is important to your faith!

The Bible says that we as believers should understand the strategies of the wicked one. Unfortunately, many of us don’t. We think Satan is more powerful than he is. But he really has no authority. The only way he can implement his desires is by tricking human beings into believing his ways are better than God’s ways and exercising their authority on Planet Earth. In this week’s CyberChurch message, “The War on Earth”, you’ll discover how Satan gained authority and how he uses it to deceive people and rob them of every good thing that Jesus died to give them. The mysteries of knowing God, His power, and how to live victoriously will be unlocked and your eyes will be opened. You’ll be equipped in ways you wouldn’t believe as you discover more about the ancient mysteries of Planet Earth and how knowing and understanding those mysteries will benefit you. When we have an understanding of these things, it validates so much of what the Bible teaches. And when we believe the Bible, we can’t be controlled by outside forces.

The Bible teaches us that we can’t fully understand a truth until we know how it began. When we know how something began, we can understand exactly what is happening and why. Then, we can have confidence in how it will end. Sadly, many Christians are like the person who walks into a mystery movie when it’s halfway over. They missed the beginning; therefore, they don’t understand the plot, the players, or anything that’s happening. They’re lost and confused. That’s how many of us are. We open the Bible to the New Testament and believe it doesn’t matter what came before. But it does matter! If you want to understand the spiritual origins of all things affecting Planet Earth today, I encourage you to watch this week’s CyberChurch message. My new series, Ancient Mysteries, is incredibly encouraging and will open your eyes to many things the Bible has told us, but the world has kept hidden. You will love where this takes you! It will open your understanding of God and free you from all the confusion created by religion and false science.

Who built the pyramids and other megalithic structures around the world? What was their purpose? How were the ancients able to calculate the position of individual stars and constellations without computers or telescopes? How did they know scientific facts thousands of years before modern science? How were pyramids, temples, and other megalithic structures erected more precisely than anything we can build today? Until you can answer these questions, you will easily be seduced with counterfeit explanations. The most important question is this, “Why do governments, scientists, and educational institutions put so much effort into hiding the truth?” These historical facts that can be easily proven, destroy false science. How? They prove the validity and accuracy of the Bible, possibly more than anything other than the resurrection of Jesus. This is what governments, occultists, and elitists don’t want you to know! When you have these answers, they can no longer seduce you! In this series, I’ll provide Biblical answers that will forever change the way you see God, understand the Bible, and the world around you! This series will give you the keys to unlock the most incredible mysteries in the world! The blinders will fall from your eyes, and you’ll break free from the deception designed to prevent you from seeing God! Join me for CyberChurch as I begin a new series, Ancient Mysteries: Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe.

I want to help you understand and exercise your greatest freedom! The greatest freedom we should protect at all costs is our freedom to choose. The very first thing God says about man is that we are created in His likeness and image. He is saying, “You’re like me.” Since we are created in God's likeness and image, and He gave us dominion over Planet Earth, Planet Earth and our lives become what we choose. We are always making choices, good or bad, and our lives directly reflect those choices. God has shown us how we can enter into life if we follow His wisdom or enter into death if we don’t. Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us to “choose life.” When we are fully committed to the Lord and following Him, we will start enjoying life to the fullest. I want to help you understand your freedom to choose. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I provide insights that will help you understand this freedom, how to use it to change your life, and how that changes everything in your world. When we make a choice, we are demonstrating what God created us to be. God will never force you to do anything. He cannot and will not violate your will. But when we make choices that are in harmony with His heart, the power of God can work in our situation and help it come to pass.

When facing challenges or critical situations, the questions we begin to ask ourselves, God, or others will very probably cause us to lose or postpone the very victory we are seeking. Asking destructive questions always leads to destructive answers. Destructive answers always lead to destructive behavior. In other words, if we ask the wrong questions, we always get the wrong answers, then we end up taking the wrong actions. You may be looking around at the world today and thinking, “How can I celebrate right now? Everything is going wrong. There’s tragedy everywhere.” Most of the time, the worst thing we can do when facing an overwhelming situation is to start asking questions. I want to show you, from a biblical perspective, how to navigate these troubled times. I want to show you what you need to do first to get yourself out of harm’s way, and then start asking questions. God wants every day to be a celebration of life for you, and I want to help you get there. In this week’s CyberChurch message, “Destructive Questions,” you’ll learn how to navigate troubled waters, maintain peace, avoid fear and confusion, and discover how to immediately get yourself back onto solid spiritual and emotional ground.

Please enjoy this encore Cyberchurch episode from July, 2020. "Spiritual Secrets For A Brand New Beginning" will return soon. So many people have asked me if this is the end of time. If you’re asking that question, you don’t really understand what the Bible means when it talks about “the end.” In Matthew 24, when Jesus talks about the many things happening and says, “This is not the end”; He is talking about reaching the end or completion of the goal (the reason all these things are happening), not the end of time. These things are happening to destroy people’s confidence in God. The good news is that Jesus isn’t coming back to bring about the end of time. Jesus is coming back to bring an end of the destruction that’s done by wickedness and lawlessness and to give us a thousand years of peace before we reach the end of time. Don’t let your heart be troubled. In the end, we win because, in the end, God has already won. I want to help deliver you from the fear that comes from the deception happening in the world. Watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Is This the End?” to learn more.

Please enjoy this encore Cyberchurch episode from July, 2020. "Spiritual Secrets For A Brand New Beginning" will return soon. When Jesus returns, it will not be to bring an end to the world but to prevent the antichrist and evildoers from destroying the world and mankind. Until He returns, there are ways we can manage ourselves so that we can be overcomers no matter what’s going on around us. Part of this is knowing how to read the signs and being aware of what’s going on in our country, our city, our state, and even in our own lives. Once you know how to read the signs, then you know the kinds of decisions you need to make. God wants you to make decisions that lead to life, peace, and joy. And I want to do everything I can to help you get there. If you want to discover more about how to read the signs and how to usher in the return of the Lord, watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “How to Read the Signs”, where I give you simple, practical, biblical wisdom that you can put into practice and put you ahead of the game. You can be an overcomer when everyone else is giving in to fear!

Please enjoy this encore Cyberchurch episode from July, 2020. "Spiritual Secrets For A Brand New Beginning" will return soon. Anyone can look around and see what is happening in the world today. But God wants us to see what’s happening and properly understand “the times.” Unless we understand the times, i.e. "why" these things are happening, we can never properly understand what actions to take.Observing an event is like standing on a boat and looking at the surface of the water. Seeing the surface doesn't reveal what is going on beneath the surface. God's Word explains how you can get beneath the surface to see and understand the times. Then, and only then, can you know what to do!

2021 is upon us, and here in America, we’re facing what is probably the most perilous times our country has ever faced. Many are living in fear and dread, trying to predict what kind of year it will be. While I can’t tell you what’s coming next, I can assure you that we can still be overcomers regardless of what happens. We can face the obstacles, and we can win. God can do something in us that supersedes everything happening in the world around us and in our own lives. Every promise God has ever made is still true for you personally. The curse may surround us, but I want to take you on a journey that will help you rise above what’s happening in the world today. You can turn the curse into a blessing and live like an overcomer! Watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Turn the Curse into a Blessing,” to learn how.

Every year at Christmastime, the phrase “peace on earth” is declared around the world. However, in Luke 2:14, when it says, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” the angels weren’t saying that at His coming, Jesus would establish peace among men. The Bible specifically says there would be peace toward men. In other words; for the first time since man rebelled in the Garden, there will be peace between God and man. The Bible calls God the God of Peace, (Romans 16:20). As such, He sent the Messiah to be the Prince of Peace and to establish a covenant of peace between God and the Man Jesus. We enter into that covenant through the Lord Jesus, and our commission is to go and preach the gospel of peace, which is this: Christ is our righteousness. When we believe and receive His righteousness in our hearts we experience the peace of God, which gives us the sense of a clear conscience and awareness of everything we have in Jesus. I don’t want a single person to believe that what’s going on in the world today is God expressing His anger and wrath. I want them to know that God is a God of peace, that He made peace with us through the Lord Jesus, and He will not deny the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for any reason. This week’s CyberChurch message, Peace on Earth, will help you have faith and peace in your heart this Christmas season, regardless of what’s going on in the world around us. If you want to discover more about the love of God and the peace He has for you, watch this week’s message where I give you true biblical reasons to celebrate what we call Christmas.

I hope you’re preparing for a meaningful Christmas. By that, I mean a Christmas that honors God and celebrates what Jesus came to earth to give us. You can bring the life of God to your family and friends in an incredibly meaningful way. In this week’s CyberChurch message, I’m talking to you about The Star of Bethlehem. The Star of Bethlehem brings us to an incredible truth - that all of what we call the twelve signs of the Zodiac (not for fortune-telling or nonsense) and the Constellations tell the story of the entire Gospel truth. When the Bible says, “The heavens declare the glory of God,” (Psalm 19:1) it’s not only that they are glorious in their creation, although that’s true. It’s the fact that God declared the story of the glory of God. In this incredible true story, you’ll discover that because of the witness of Daniel after he was taken into captivity, God was able to guide the Chaldeans to the star of the coming Messiah. This will cause you to rejoice and will change the way you see this traditional Christmas story. It will encourage you and make you believe everything is possible with God.

We all make bad decisions. When we do, God doesn’t beat us up, put us down, or try to make us feel guilty. However, the people around us often do. Some people use our failures as an opportunity to express their envies and jealousies towards us, in order to build themselves up, making it difficult for us to overcome our bad decisions by making new and good choices. Unfortunately, God is usually blamed for the actions of angry, wrathful people. But the Bible tells us that God teaches us by His Word and His Spirit. He brings us to repentance by His goodness and His kindness, not by anger and wrath. David made some horrible decisions, and he suffered the consequences for the rest of his life. At one point, David even believed God was telling people to be cruel to him. However, after dealing with his issues from a biblical perspective, David no longer believed it was God and was set free to live out his calling. You, too, can move past the consequences of your bad decisions. You can live your dreams. There may be people who want to keep you down and throw your mistakes in your face, but they cannot keep you from fulfilling your calling and living your destiny. You can break free from the wrath of man, overcome your bad decisions, and live in the peace of God. And I want to help! Watch this week’s CyberChurch message to find out how.

A lot of people want to know what’s going on in America and the world. Is this the end? Is Jesus coming back? People don’t know who or what to trust. We are distracted through fear and trepidation. We are living in a time the Bible calls “the beginning of sorrows.” Times are bad, no doubt. But no matter what is going on around us or how bad it is, we can connect with God and experience strength, peace, and joy on the inside. In this week’s CyberChurch message you’ll learn more about what’s happening in the world than you might have learned in the entire past year. I want to help you have the courage and boldness to face what other people are too scared to even talk about, and understand how to face these things with God and do something about it.

The cry of the world today is that there is injustice. Everything is unfair and slanted toward the white or the wealthy, this group or that group. The people setting buildings on fire, stealing, robbing, and killing other people all say they’re seeking justice. The problem is in how you define justice. One of the primary characteristics God conveys about Himself in Scripture is justice. He is just (Ps 7:11). He is fair and equitable, and He always seeks for justice to prevail in human interaction. The Book of Job is probably the most misquoted book of the entire Bible, not because people quote the Scriptures wrong, but because the Scriptures are taken out of context. They always quote the foolishness that Job and his friends said, not what God said. In Job 40:8, God asked one of the most critical questions in the entire book: “Will you indeed annul my judgment, and would you condemn me that you might be justified and appear to be the righteous one.” This is what the whole world is doing. But you can have peace in your life no matter what everybody else is doing. You can live in justice, treat people fairly, and reap the benefits of that in your relationships. Everything God has ever said, all of His commandments, are based on walking in love. God will show you how to walk in love, how to be just and fair. He will show us how to have peace and bring peace to our nation and the world. If you’re interested in finding out how fair, just, kind, and loving God is, watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “I Think I’m Nicer Than God.”

I want to help you get past your failures! Sadly, we tend to define ourselves by our past mistakes. The greatest success stories in the world came from people who simply used their failures as stepping stones to success: Albert Einstein, Babe Ruth, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison, just to name a few. If we were to put as much effort into learning from our failures as we do making excuses for them, we would never need another excuse! The Bible doesn’t say that a righteous man never falls; it says he just keeps getting back up. Join me for this week’s CyberChurch message, “The Wake-Up Call,” and turn your past failures into stepping stones for success!

The Bible says that the end will come “like a thief in the night”. But it also says it will come with the “sound of a trumpet”. This is either talking about two separate events or there is an interesting caveat that we need to recognize. The truth is; people that won’t know when the end is here either don’t want to know, don’t believe, ignore the signs, or are so overtaken by the lust of their flesh and living life that they just aren’t paying attention. This is what Jesus was talking about when He said it would be like it was in the days of Noah. People were getting married, had families and carried on with their daily lives … until the flood came. Then, suddenly, they were taken by surprise. But Noah and his family were not taken by surprise. We never really have to be taken by surprise. Wise people understand the signs and know when and how to prepare so that they are not overcome.I want YOU to be an overcomer! I don’t want you to be overtaken by everything happening in the world today. To learn how you can recognize and prepare should this happen in your lifetime, watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Preparing for the End”.

Throughout history, we see Godless people, Godless regimes, world leaders hungry for power, and greedy people attempting to take over all the resources available in Planet Earth. Each monumental war has gotten more violent, more wicked, and more brutal. Jesus said that the time would come when we would have a tribulation on Planet Earth that would be far worse than anything that has ever happened. Many people have asked me if I thought we were in the Tribulation. “No, I do not!” People in Russia, China, the former Soviet Union, and all over the world have gone through worse than what we are going through right now. What we are going through will get worse unless we stop it. People who don’t know history, don’t know the Bible, or don’t understand how we got here, don’t know how to stop it. You may be asking yourself, “How did America get here?” I want to answer that question for you. I want to show you a Biblical perspective on how we reached this point. Once we understand how we got here, then we can understand how to get out. Right now, destiny is in our hands. This isn’t a matter of God making a choice of what’s going to happen next; it’s a matter of US deciding what’s going to happen next, and whether or not we are going to involve and trust God. If you want to understand the times and learn more about how America got here and what we can do about it, CLICK HERE to watch this week’s CyberChurch message, “Why is this Happening in America?”.

God is a Covenant Keeping God… what does that mean for you? In business transactions, contracts are created so there are no misunderstandings: everyone knows their terms and benefits. In a simple contract you are never left to guess at what you are getting; and you never have to presume what is required of you. A covenant is a contract. God is a covenant keeping God. Why? He wants it to be clear what He is providing and how you can participate. With God you never have to be in dark; you’re never left guessing what His will is, in a given situation… unless you haven’t read or don’t trust the person who wrote the contract! There is much confusion in the body of Christ concerning God’s current contract with humanity. Much of what is taught about faith, prayer and even righteousness is based more on the Old Covenant than the New Covenant! Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises, Heb 8:6. To operate under any part of the Old Covenant is to cheat yourself out of the best God has to offer. Join me for this week’s CyberChurch message: “A Covenant Keeping God”. We will begin a journey of discovering the mysteries of the New Covenant and how to establish your heart in all its provisions.

Sin always begins with a sense of lack. If you’ve found yourself in a ditch and don’t even know how you got there, watch this week’s CyberChurch teaching to gain perspective for getting out and never getting in another one!

If you’ve found yourself in a ditch and don’t even know how you got there, watch this week’s CyberChurch teaching to gain perspective for getting out and never getting in another one! Sin always begins with a sense of lack. The deceitfulness of sin is the hardening of your heart. When you start down a road of compromise, you do not know the end of that road. No matter how small the compromise, hardness of heart begins immediately. This week I’ll share insights from Job’s life that can help you see how to steer your own life more effectively.

The Bible describes the fruit of a broken heart as a person in the darkness of a prison whose doors have been open but, because of their inability to properly perceive the world around them, they don’t realize that freedom is theirs. In other words, they succumb to a false perception. This is spiritual PTSD. Jeremiah 17:9 tells us that “...the heart is deceitful…” That word literally means “covered with footprints.” As such, it becomes wicked, i.e. chaotic and beyond knowing. This is a picture of someone who has experienced so much pain from past trauma that they have no capacity to know themselves or know the world around them as it truly is. Jesus also said He came to proclaim the Year of Jubilee. In the Old Testament this was a reference to all financial debts being paid. In the context of the New Covenant this refers to all our emotional debt, all of our sin, and all that brings us death and pain being paid off completely. Join me this week in Impact’s CyberChurch as I share the good news of Healing the Broken Heart. I want to help you find complete freedom from the pain of the past!
