Jesus Provided Resurrection (Resurrection Handbook – Part 2)
Length: 5 Minutes
Do you believe that Jesus is the only way for us to receive from a holy God? If you do, you will love this article. Of course, we don’t deserve God’s grace by our works, but Jesus paid the price so that we could receive it! That’s Christianity 101. Many people think that they already believe those statements, and perhaps you do, but you’d be surprised at how many Christians contradict this.

Submission Without Fear – Part 2
Length: 6 Minutes
In our last part, we introduced the concept that Peter spoke of, regarding submission without fear. This world submits for fear of consequences or for the control that they feel someone has over their life. But we submit to authority voluntarily, for the Lord’s sake, without any fear or terror.

Your Inevitable Outcome (Slave Means Stuck)
Length: 5 Minutes
When you’ve gone through some addiction, habit, sickness, or pain for a long time, many people, and unfortunately many believers as well, feel sort of trapped or stuck, wondering if this thing will ever go away.

There’s Real Righteousness In There

Reality Check (It’s Too Good To Close Your Eyes)
Length: 5 minutes
People without Jesus need constant “escapes from reality.” They try to drown out the reality of their world with things like drugs, alcohol, parties, TV, video games, vacations, and even sleep. They are happiest when they are not remembering the real world, but for a believer, it’s all the contrary. We are happiest when our eyes are opened to our world.

The Transformation Process – Part 2: Instantaneous?
Length: 6 minutes
In the first part, we explained that all transformation that we personally receive from God is a progression, that keeps pace with what we’ve seen of Jesus thus far. As we grow in our knowledge of Jesus, the transformation increases to our flesh (2 Peter 1:2). So, what about instantaneous healings? Because not only is the Bible full of them, but of course, it’s the will of God for you to be healed and transformed as quickly as possible.

The Transformation Process – Part 1: Glory To Glory
Length: 5 minutes
When people see Jesus, the apostles, or even another minister laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover instantly, some people might get the wrong impression, that if their healing or transformation doesn’t look like that, then it’s not legitimate, or it’s not happening. But the Bible says otherwise.

The True Way To Be Led By The Spirit – Part 3: How Do I Know?

The True Way To Be Led By The Spirit – Part 2: The Desire And The Doing
Length: 4 minutes
In the first part, we established that the leading of the Holy Spirit is not simply the Spirit speaking instruction into your mind. It is the Spirit actually doing the thing through you. That is the leading of the Holy Spirit. But when God does things through you, He doesn’t just act them out, giving you the strength and performance through your body. He also puts the desire in your heart for it.

The True Way To Be Led By The Spirit – Part 1
Length: 4 minutes
When many Christians hear the term, “the leading of the Holy Spirit,” they associate this with the Lord telling them where to go and what to do. The funny thing is, mere instructions or guidance from the Lord is not what He means when He speaks of the “leading of the Holy Spirit.”

Steady Emotions – Part 3: Relationships
Length: 5 minutes
Christians tend to be very family oriented, which is a good thing, because we have a responsibility to our family first. But Christians also tend to think that taking joy from your physical family or friends is something of a virtue. This is simply not correct.

Steady Emotions – Part 2: Manifestations
Length: 4 minutes
The Lord doesn’t want us to take our joy from anything that is changing. In our last part we mentioned the instability and inaccuracy of people’s opinion of us. But did you know that God doesn’t even want us to take our joy from manifestations of the Holy Spirit? That may sound strange, but it’s absolutely true.

Steady Emotions – Part 1: Acceptance
Length: 3 minutes
Do you know why people’s rejection takes such a toll on us sometimes? It’s because many of us trust in people’s opinion of us when they are accepting us. We value their opinion so much when they compliment us. And so, when people reject us or criticize us, we have trained our mind to value a man’s opinion of our worth.
