Fear and the Enemy
Are you fearful? Does it seem as though the enemy is coming in around you? Do you feel surrounded by your troubles, trials, and fears? Sometimes we all have them, and we deal with them the best way we know how, but often, the last thing we do is seek the Lord. We need to …
Pray Always for God’s Counsel

When the Enemy Overpowers
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives, but have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions. All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and shake their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that …
In the days of Affliction
No one today likes to talk about judgment or affliction. I do not like talking about it, preaching about it, and I really get no joy from reading Jeremiah; or any of the prophets; or preaching their writings and prophecies of darkness and gloom; but I must not neglect the counsel of the LORD. The …
For Adversity
Nobody likes adversity. Troubles are not pleasant no matter how large or small they are; well; trouble, pain, sorrow. The problem is many of our troubles we bring on ourselves; especially when we willfully violate the law, will and word of God. Are you presently experiencing trouble, trial, sorrow, pain and grief in your life? …
Living in a Sinful World
