In these troubled times, we need supernatural comfort, peace, and strength. But mere words of encouragement will not help a mother who cannot feed her children or a father who can’t find work. We need something supernatural! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we reveal God’s process for Comfort In Tribulation. By releasing the power of the Holy Spirit into our lives, we can experience peace and strength that passes all understanding!

Almost every miracle of the Bible that has the power to supercharge our faith has been relegated to a myth. The result is all the things we could have learned about God’s desires to lead and protect us mean nothing to us…after all, it’s just a myth. Join me this week in CyberChurch to supercharge your faith as we study one of the most preposterous promises in the Bible.

As the world grows darker and more dangerous, every believer seems to have a deep awareness that we need a Holy Spirit-inspired plan to face the challenges. People want to know, “What’s coming next? How do we prepare for the days ahead? How can I understand what’s happening in the world?” So much of the teaching about the last days is confusing, frightening, and overwhelming. The fear and confusion are based primarily on the fact that we overlook the clearest, simplest information on this subject: Jesus’ teaching! Join me this week in CyberChurch, and we will look at Jesus’ teachings about the last days in a new powerful series, The Mystery of the Ten Virgins. We will look at the last days through Jesus’ eyes and discover what we can do to face and overcome an angry, violent world!

More and more people find themselves struggling to get their lives under control. But the problem is that they don’t fully understand what drives their lives out of control. I'm not talking about evil people, but believers who desire to live for God. This problem can destroy every aspect of our lives, but it is not actually that difficult to resolve. Join me this week in CyberChurch and discover the simple secret to gaining control of your life as we answer the question, “What’s controlling my life?”

God has a winning strategy that keeps us from the continual struggles of temptation, emotional instability, and poor decisions. He actually tells us who the real enemy is and how we can fight that enemy and win. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discuss Binding the Strong Man. When the strong man is defeated, the battle is over.

The world is on fire. This fire was set by those who seek to take control of our lives. They divide us by creating conflict among various economic, social, and ethnic groups. The world is becoming more dangerous and hostile by the minute. This divide-and-conquer strategy keeps people so focused on what offends them, that they are blind to what is really happening. In this powerful series, “Anchoring Your Soul,” you will learn how to anchor your soul, i.e., stay calm and peaceful no matter what is happening around you! Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore how simple it is to overcome anger.

The only power the devil can use against us is deception, meaning that he cannot hurt us unless we believe his lies; then, we will hurt ourselves. When we entertain his lies, we become emotionally unstable; we begin to waver. But God has provided a way for us to have an anchor for our soul that keeps us from damaging ourselves and those around us. Join me this week in CyberChurch and learn the secrets to maintaining stability in this flood of daily propaganda we are experiencing as we create a strategy to overcome the Great Flood of Deception!

God is the God of Hope! Hope literally means a confident expectation of good things. He has made incredible promises through the Lord Jesus. In the history of the world, He has never broken His word on any promise. We have a reason to expect good things. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore the power of living in the Expectation of Good Things.

There is a battle going on that will determine the quality of your life. The Bible says it’s the battle for your soul. As you know, our soul is the seat of our emotions. The battle that destroys many godly people is the seemingly unending struggle with negative emotions. The Bible tells us how to win this battle, and it starts by identifying the source of the conflict. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we reveal the true source of the Battle for Your Soul. This will be the beginning of a victory that may be greater than anything you’ve experienced since coming to Jesus!

Our soul is neither good nor evil. It is simply that part of us where we emotionally experience whatever we’re focused on. Before man fell, his soul was under the direct influence of his spirit, which meant that his emotions were continually influenced by the life of God. When man became a sinner, his soul became influenced by his flesh, which meant that his emotions were driven by the lusts of the flesh. Join me this week in CyberChurch for “Our Living Soul,” where we will explore our ability to once again have our soul filled with the emotions that come from being intimately connected to God.

God always seeks to lead us on the path that more effectively and efficiently fulfills our destiny and keeps His promises. Many times we seek a particular solution to a problem, but it isn’t based on God’s wisdom. Paul did this, and sadly we interpret God’s response as a “No” to Paul’s request. However, God didn’t say no, He guided Paul to a more biblical pursuit. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we discover the secret of always following the Holy Spirit so we can discover The More Excellent Way.

God doesn’t change when we change. According to Scripture, when we are unfaithful, He remains faithful. But does He withhold His promises when we fall short? No! There are two key reasons He doesn’t. The Bible says it’s God's goodness that draws us to repentance, not the harshness or the wrath. If He withdraws His promises, we continue to run away in fear. When we encounter His goodness we feel safe turning our hearts back to Him. But the primary reason He doesn’t change when we change is that it would be a violation of His righteousness. If He withholds love, kindness, or forgiveness, He is no longer the Righteous One. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore The Righteousness of Yes! It will soothe your heart and give you peace with God, regardless of your past!

God made an eternal Covenant with Jesus, the New Covenant. Jesus fulfilled every requirement of that Covenant, thereby receiving an inheritance that is greater than anything we have ever imagined! When we are born again and baptized into the body of Christ, we get to share in His inheritance. The Bible calls us joint heirs! As joint heirs, we are qualified for every benefit given to Jesus. Join me this week and discover that which was freely given to Jesus, and is already yours, as we discuss the Covenant of Yes!

So many people are paralyzed. They are afraid they will miss God or experience disappointment. Religion has made knowing God's will complicated and beyond our grasp, but the truth is, God has gone to incredible lengths to make sure we understand Him and know what to expect. The God of “Yes” has made promises assuring us of what is ours in Christ. When an honest, faithful person makes a promise, it is a yes before we have even asked. Join me this week as we discuss the fact that Promises are “Prayers Answered” in advance. This will unravel the mystery where God says, “Before they ask, I will answer!”

Jesus is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. One of the things hidden in that name, in the Hebrew, is the priest who reveals the heart of “Yes!” Jesus’ answer for sharing His inheritance is always “yes.” He came to earth partially to reveal the true character and nature of God… the God of yes! Join me this week as we look at the Hebrew that presents Him as the priest that reveals the heart of “yes!” We will also discuss what this looks like in real-life applications.

The Apostle Paul said that the message he preached was not “yes” and “no!” In other words, God’s answer is always yes. It’s not sometimes yes, and sometimes no. It’s always yes. The key is allowing Him to meet our needs in a biblical way. Join me this week in CyberChurch as I launch a new series entitled “The God of Yes!” This will give you incredible confidence in God while simplifying your prayer life. God’s answer to your needs is “YES!”

God designed mankind to live in pleasure. Join me this week to look at the biblical reality of living heaven on earth! Every person has the drive for a better quality of life. Jesus said He had come so that we could have the very best quality of life. The original language defines this to be the quality of life possessed by the One giving it. So, Jesus Himself said we can have God’s quality of life! If that is not heaven on earth I can’t imagine what would be. We can participate in the realm of the Kingdom right now and enjoy safety, protection, provision, peace – all things pertaining to life and godliness!

Jesus taught principles of living by priority. Join me this week to explore the proper order of things in the Kingdom. Priority living can make the difference in how successful your efforts are! When Jesus instructed His listeners to do something first, there was a reason for the priority that directly affected the result. Even obedience can turn out bad if you’ve missed the point for obeying. When first things are truly considered first, your heart is in the best place for receiving the maximum benefit available for whatever you are doing!

Join me this week to hear how you can abide in the realm of the Kingdom rather than survive from miracle to miracle or rescue to rescue. The greatest witness is the person who draws others to God by their joy, peace, and demonstrations of love. The way we become such a witness is by abiding in the realm Jesus said is within. It is the realm where Jesus is fully Lord of our heart, and where all the resources of God are available and accessible. This is truly more than a state of mind; it is a way of living!

Join me this week where I will help you enter the realm in which you recognize and know how to access all the resources of God! The New Covenant is a covenant of promise. It has the same promises as the Old Covenant, but the Bible says the New Covenant is better than the old. Why? It is a covenant between God and Jesus, not God and man. Jesus Himself obtained the promises for all and for eternity. Now, everything we need for life is available to us and this covenant can never be broken!
