This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship This is the third and the last in a series of short talks on the theme of thanksgiving, praise and worship. And the theme of this talk will be worship. Let me just remind you how I sought to [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship Then again, the seventh in this list of scriptural facts: Praise prepares the way for God's supernatural intervention. Let's look, first of all, in Psalm 50. Are you noticing how many [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship Now I want to take the rest of this session just to point out... seven scriptural facts about praise. There are many more, but I feel these are significant. And they will help to build your [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship This is the second in a series of short talks... on the themes of thanksgiving, praise, and worship. Our first talk was on the theme of thanksgiving, and this talk will be on the second theme, [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship Now we need to look at the rather dark other side to this truth, which is the opposite of being thankful, what the Bible has to say about that. And it has a great deal to say about [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship Then another very important fact about thanksgiving... is that it's a key that unlocks the supernatural miracle power of God. I'll give you just one very conspicuous example: the [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship And then we'll consider this question that I've already touched on, of the approach to God. The best place to look there is in Psalm 100, a very beautiful, familiar psalm. Talking [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship Let me talk for the rest of this particular session on the theme of thanksgiving. I'd like to read one verse from Hebrews 12:28. It would be rather interesting, I'm reading from the [...]

This excerpt is from: Thanksgiving, Praise and Worship This first talk tonight will be on the theme of thanksgiving. A lot of people have got the impression that prayer is simply a question of asking God for things. As it were, going to God with [...]

This first talk tonight will be on the theme of thanksgiving. A lot of people have got the impression that prayer is simply a question of asking God for things. As it were, going to God with your shopping list. That is a very limited and inadequate [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Let’s come to some of the weapons that we can use and we’ll have to close. First of all, prayer. Let me give you just a few Scriptures about each, Matthew 18... verses 18 and following. Jesus is [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" And then when we come to nations, the same is true. We have Brother Warren here somewhere. I was in New Zealand, which is a nation I know well, I've visited probably ten times at least. I love [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" All right, now. I’m coming to the very thing that I wanted to deal with. We’re going to go back to Matthew 12, and I’m going to show you one more verse. And really, all I can do is stimulate your [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Now, going back to Ephesians 6, Paul, immediately after speaking about Satan’s kingdom in the heavenlies, tells us we better put on our armor. And I’ll read this rather quickly, beginning in verse [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Let me now read the passages that I’ve been quoting very quickly. Daniel 10:2–3: In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Rather than speculate, I want to give you a passage from the book of Daniel which very clearly reveals that this is so. I’m not going to read the whole chapter but if you’re interested, you would do [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Now let me point out that Satan’s headquarters, as stated here, are in the heavenlies. We have a lot of language in the church which speaks about Satan as if he were in hell. Hell is a place of [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" Now, for a brief description of the kingdom of Satan and its headquarters, we turn to Ephesians chapter 6 which actually is an absolutely key verse on this whole theme. Ephesians chapter 6, Paul [...]

Excerpt from "Casting Down Strongholds" The theme of this session is entitled “Casting down strongholds,” and it’s a session that will deal with spiritual warfare. We need to understand, first of all, why there is spiritual warfare, who [...]

The theme of this session is entitled “Casting down strongholds,” and it’s a session that will deal with spiritual warfare. We need to understand, first of all, why there is spiritual warfare, who is fighting who, which side are we on? So I want to [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource And then you have to be ready to act on what the word says. In John 7:17 Jesus said: If anyone wants to do God's will he will know concerning the doctrine whether it is from God [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Now let me just take a few moments in closing to give you some suggestions as to how to receive the Word of God. I've spoken about what it will do some of the things, there are [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource And then I'd like to sum up this teaching on the effect of God's word by one Scripture from John 14. John 14:23. I think this is one of the most amazing verses in the Bible. [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource And then another really important aspect of the word of God is that it's a mirror. We turn to the epistle of James for a moment chapter 1 and verse 23. James says: For if any one [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Now we'll go on to another aspect of God's word which is cleansing or washing or sanctifying. Various words can be used. You know the word sanctify means to make holy. So, [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Ruth and I have a form of testimony that we regularly use that applies these Scriptures. So rather than preach it we'll demonstrate it. Okay? My body is a temple for the Holy [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource I want to go on to the next statement, the one I was headed for: Take the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. So that's our weapon of attack against Satan. It's [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource All right, we'll go on to some other effects of God's word quite briefly. The next one is victory over sin. And in Psalm 119:11 David says to the Lord: Your word I have [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource In the previous session I spoke about various different effects that the Word of God is designed to produce in us who believe it. I want to return briefly to two because they're [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource We're going to continue. The next result is one that I would probably spend a good deal of time on but we'll turn to it. It's Proverbs. But we'll turn to Psalm 107 [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource We must go on. The next effect of the word of God I want to mention is what I call mental illumination. We could take many passages but I'll just take one verse from Psalm 119. [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Then the next kind of food that people need or the general food of humanity at least in the Middle East, is bread. And the Bible also provides bread. Now I say at least in the Middle [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Let's take it in the human level. Once a little baby has been born into the human race, the first thing that it needs really is suitable nourishment. It may be a very healthy [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource I will relate a little later on how I received healing out of the faith that came by hearing. Because when I describe how I received healing it's a perfect example of what [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Now I want to speak about a number of specific results which the Bible produces. I'm speaking out of the Scripture but in many cases I'm also speaking out of personal [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Now let me begin with this theme of what the Bible will do for you. First of all, I'd like to give you some general statements about the Scripture. Psalm 33:6 says this: By the [...]

This is a clip from: God's Word Your Inexhaustible Resource Jesus uses two phrases which are an encouragement to all of us. Quoting from the book of Psalms He says: If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came and the scripture cannot [...]

Jesus uses two phrases which are an encouragement to all of us. Quoting from the book of Psalms He says: If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came and the scripture cannot be broken. So in that one verse, John 10:35 Jesus chose to use the [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . Another common reason for rejection, all too common today, is the break-up of a marriage. A woman has given herself unreservedly to a man and like Brother Ed Cole was telling, a pastor [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . So that brings me back to Hebrews 10:14: "By one sacrifice He", Jesus, "has perfected forever those", us, "who are being sanctified". It covers every need [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . Now we come to the last of these three problems. I’ve dealt with guilt. I’ve dealt with shame. I’ll deal with rejection. Now I consider rejection to be the deepest wound of the human [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . I want to go on now with shame. Shame is such a cruel and ugly thing. Very often it’s the result of sexual abuse or being made fun of at school. I read a story recently about one boy out [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . I would suppose that there are, maybe at least 25 percent of the people here this evening have one or other of those three problems: guilt, shame or rejection. And there is a place where [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . Now I want to tell you how I got to this. Then the Army sent my unit, which was Number One Light Field Ambulance, to the Middle East, and I spent the next three years in the desserts of [...]

This excerpt is from: Overcoming Guilt, Shame And Rejection . I want to say this. It’s personal and I find it hard to say it. But I’m saying it not for my benefit but for yours. When the Lord took Ruth it’s the hardest thing that’s ever happened in [...]

My theme tonight is: Overcoming guilt, shame and rejection. I would suppose that there are, maybe at least 25 percent of the people here this evening have one or other of those three problems: guilt, shame or rejection. And there is a place where [...]

This excerpt is from: The Holy Spirit As Guide . And I learned that that’s how the natural mind of man thinks. When we think about being righteous, each of us turns to some sort of list of rules and we think I’ve got to keep this and I’ve got to [...]

This excerpt is from: The Holy Spirit As Guide . Maybe I should, I think I will say this now, no I won't I'll come to it later. All right. So now we’re going to go on in Romans chapter 7 and Paul’s going to share his own personal [...]

This excerpt is from: The Holy Spirit As Guide . So, going on, all right. Verse 14: for we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. Now, only Paul ever had this problem, I’m sure you’ll agree. For what I am doing, I do not [...]

This excerpt is from: The Holy Spirit As Guide . All right. So, let’s try and sort of make it clear what we’re talking about. God’s way of righteousness and holiness is not struggling but yielding. Did you get that, I’ll say it again. Not [...]
