“For You will light my lamp, the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by My God I can leap over a wall.” (Ps. 18:28-29) God has made a promise to “light my lamp”… my spirit is alive with His revelation knowledge! The Hebrew word for light, “owr” means to be or become light, to shine, to be illuminated. It carries the meaning of spiritual revelation. When God shines His glorious light into our spiritual journey, we experience the sensation of a real awakening. Something is being turned on and its this “lamp of revelation knowledge” that destroys the dominion of darkness that surrounds our understanding. Revelation is an Unfolding of Reality: This “aha” moment causes us to see things for what they really are. Being enlightened simply opens our eyes to what is already there, but hidden from our understanding. God often hides things for our discovery! He wants us to come into Truth with a commitment to obey and abide in it. When you an

Invasion! We are being invaded. Did you realize that? Right now. It is, in fact, an invasion that has been going on for the last two thousand years. When we think about the plan of God, most of us tend to think in terms of us going to heaven when we die. But aside from the Truth of our eternal destiny, a closer look at scripture hints at something wider in breadth. Rather than limit God’s purpose merely to us going to be with God, the Bible talks much more about God coming down to be with US. Indeed, the Bible talks about INVASION – the "invasion" of the kingdom of God upon this earth. This invasion shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Before it began, God announced it would begin – He announced it continually over the course of four thousand years. He sent messenger after messenger. He had it all written down. Then He finally sent the KING Himself. Since then, for two thousand years, God has been telling us that the invasion is taking place. This

INTRODUCTION: A. I would like to direct our attention to the Old Testament in order to glean some New Testament instruction and motivation.  1. Romans 15:4 - For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.  2. 1 Corinthians 10:6 - Now these things became our examples . . . B. Attention is called to one of my favorite Old Testament characters.  1. Joshua 14:12 - Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."  2. Joshua 15:13 - Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).  a. This passage is th

The scripture states in 2 Corinthians 4:13, 14: We having the same  spirit of faith , according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. (Italics added for emphasis). The term "Spirit of Faith," as used in the verse above, can be viewed and understood in many ways, and, in fact, much has been taught about this phrase by many ministers of the Gospel. Brother Kenneth Copeland has referred to this "Spirit of Faith" as an "overcoming, winning attitude." Now the thing that I want to talk to you about is the Spirit of Faith. Now this is not talking about the Holy Spirit, it’s not talking about your spirit, its not talking about a spirit ‘personality’ here. It’s using the phrase ‘the Spirit of Faith’ the same way you would use the phrase ‘espirit de corps;’ the ‘spirit of the co

How does God speak? Hear God’s Voice how does God speak? People everywhere yearn to hear God’s voice . Is God speaking to us? Is it possible to hear His voice? Does God want us to hear His voice? How does God speak? How are we to listen? God  is  speaking, and we  can  hear His voice . Christianity is a relationship; every relationship is established and maintained through communication. It is vital that we learn to hear God’s voice, so that we may deepen our relationship with our heavenly Father. Jesus said to His Father,  “This is life eternal, that they [believers] might know thee [God] the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent”  (John 17:3).  It is God’s plan for us to know Him intimately ; therefore, we must learn to hear His voice. God Speaks to Us in Many Ways Our creative God is not limited to one form of communication. He is all-powerful; He is omnipresent; He is sovereign. The Bible is filled with accounts of God speaking to
