THE WAR ANOINTING: Spiritual Victory behind Enemy Lines by Revivalist Todd Bentley
As soon as we become blood-bought believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we’re thrust behind enemy lines, though assured of God’s protection. However, we’re also reminded that we operate in an environment of spiritual terrorism: “… We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one” (1 John 5:19). Thus, we must recognize and commit ourselves to train and be ready for battle, and even more so, in these last days, for unconventional spiritual warfare. Whether you are a marine fighting in the streets of Baghdad, a parent living in a sleepy suburb, or even the President of the United States, you must assume your position as a mighty spiritual warrior similar to that of an ancient soldier defending an empire (see Ephesians 6:10–18). ...

"God is calling for His children to adopt His 'policy of Grace.'"
"God is calling for His children to adopt His 'policy of Grace.'"
Scott Hicks
God recently spoke to me and said, "Without My grace, My entire creation would perish--for there is not one thing that is not covered by My grace."

There is an appointed time for darkness to be destroyed, but for now, everything lives under His grace! There is not one thing in creation that is not covered by His uncontrollable grace!
The New Testament translates "grace" in Greek as charis, which literally means "gift." All grace belongs to God and it's His prerogative to give "Freely" as He wills! ...

Amazing Grace: How the Bible was used to justify slavery
Yet what is gob-smacking about Newton is what a nasty piece of work he once was. The idea that the author of “Amazing Grace” raped his slaves has been a conceptual Ohrwurm for me ever since I found it out. Indeed, Newton’s conversion might have stopped him from swearing and drinking, but he continued to trade in slaves for six more years. ...

Why I'm Not Pentecostal
There was a time when I envied the Pentecostal churches. they seemed to be really in touch with the Spirit of God and miracles were happening everywhere and every week.
But now I see too many things that concern me- both at the macro (big picture) and micro (individual congregations and people) levels. ...
