Our Problem

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph 6:11

My Heart

Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee,
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.

The Desires of Our Heart

Our problem is the sinfulness of our heart. Our heart prefers and loves it's own way above Gods way. As a result of that self-love, we naturally partner with Darkness against the message and work of the gospel. Sooner or later we realize that our heart is the problem and that it is the focus of the gospel; only the gospel has the power to give us a new heart.

The gospel not only saves, but sanctifies. There is a battle, a fight, as we work out and walk out the redemptive work of Christ. The cross has dealt our flesh a fatal blow. Because of that death we are no longer bound by a sinful nature but are given a new nature. As Christians, we show the reality of Christ's victory over sin, when we walk out His victory over our sin in our personal life. 

Planet Earth and Our Heart

God has chosen that we walk out His victories in this life, on planet earth, in our body, and with our mind.  He could have translated us to heaven immediately on salvation, but He didn't. He chose to leave us in the midst of spiritual enemies, enemies that hate God, hate us, and hate everything good. In addition to spiritual enemies, we are also left in a body that must be made to serve God, and with a mind, if left to itself, will turn from God, and with a heart that constantly opposes God. As born-again Christians, this is our battle, to walk out the victories of Jesus over the world, the flesh, and the Devil. This is the life we have been given to live. As we gain victory over inward evil, we prove the work of Christ to be more powerful than the power of the Devil. We do not despair,  we have been given victory over the enemies of our soul!

See Our Heart

Spiritual Evil

Spiritual evil is about planned and willful opposition to God, opposition to His Word, opposition to His way of salvation, and opposition to you, a born-again Christian. This system of  darkness  is intelligent, disciplined, powerful, and according to scripture, exercises influence over the entire world and every unbeliever! Ephesians 2:1-3, 1John 5:19

Our Heart

All Christians, though genuinely born-again have a mind that must be renewed and a body that must be disciplined. We are a new creation but for now live in a house of flesh. Because we live in a human body with a human mind, that part of us continues to want its own way. As we renew our thoughts and emotions, then our behavior and relationships are also renewed. It is the man of the heart, our inward self, that we learn to walk out the victories of Christ over evil. If we do not learn how to control our thoughts, emotions, feelings, desires, priorities, ambitions, etc.- then we are truly like a city without walls and defenseless.

Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls

Who Is In Control?

The person that cannot control his behavior has never learned to control his heart and it's desires. Someone or something has to be in control of our thoughts and feelings, and if we are not in control,  then darkness will gladly influence our heart away from God.

We Learn To Change The Channel!

Our minds are like a radio that is always on. The radio has the ability to pick up any transmitted signal; it will play according to the channel it is tuned to. Our victory is learning to use God's weapons to change the channel! His Word instructs us to turn our minds, and hearts to His Channel.

Spiritual Chains Bind Through A Lie

Chains exist in our lives through the selfishness of our human nature - lies  that reside within and influence our behavior, our values, our faith and our relationship with God. These chains manifest themselves as destructive habits, compulsive living, chronic depression, frustration, anger, apathy, unhappiness, discouragement, bitterness, etc..

Chronic dissatisfaction, chronic unrest, dissatisfaction with with life in general are examples of chains that can and do profoundly affect our lives.

Jesus said the source of these problems is the  heart. So what we are saying is this; a system of darkness that relies on lies, and a  heart that accepts and acts on those lies, will result in emotional dysfunction and spiritual chains.

Can A Christian be Bound?

Can a born-again Christian have spiritual chains? Let me ask you a question-Can a born-again Christian live in chronic fear, depression, or discouragement? Can a born-again Christian lose the joy of serving God? Can a born-again Christian lose interest in life? Can a born-again Christian be bound by habits? Can a born-again Christian be completely unhappy in their relationships with God and man? The answer to all these questions is YES!

All of us, at one time or another, have struggled with fear, depression, anxiety, etc,.. But for some, the struggles are ongoing. This ministry is committed to helping Christians who struggle, work out and walk out the victories of Christ which were purchased for them by the blood of Jesus Christ. God bless you.

Phil 3:17-20 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Rom. 8:5-8 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

ROM 8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Rom. 13:12-14 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

2COR 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

GAL 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

GAL 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Gal 5:24-25 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

GAL 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Eph 5:5-6 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
