No subject in the Bible has been misinterpreted or misspoke more often than “Speaking In Tongues.” Satan has fought this truth and imitated this truth until most people simply flee from it. The subject can get a debate going quicker than any subject I know from the Bible. It’s exciting to see how often the truth of a Believer speaking in an unknown language is mentioned. Isaiah, the Statesman prophet, was the first Bible writer that prophesied of the New Testament church speaking in unknown languages. “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear” (Isaiah 28:11-12). The Apostle Paul quoted from this text in his great discourse on the gifts of the Spirit and did so by directly speaking about languages spoken in the Holy Ghost. Paul said, ” In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe” (I Corinthians 14:21-22). I have documented the great church fathers speaking with excitement about the early church like a Heaven on earth because the Holy Ghost had made them alive. Men and women were speaking in unknown languages, some were interpreted and others saints were prophesying or healing the sick by the power of the Spirit. The great teacher, Augustine, is recorded to have bemoaned that the church in the Fifth Century had lost the great visitation of the Holy Ghost, where men and women no longer spoke in unknown languages. This sermon condemns no one but simply lets you hear what will happen when the church is alive in the Spirit instead of cold and asleep.

Satan is Busy Buying Souls
Friday, August 27th, 2010
Yes, Satan has a kingdom and he gives it to whosoever he will. That’s an overwhelming thought and it is changing the way many people live. Satan made that point to Jesus and the Son of God did not argue with it. He simply rejected any desire to be a part of his dark world. Look at the manner in which Satan tempted Jesus, “And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” (St. Luke 4:5-8). The Scripture further states that Satan is the “god of this world” (II Corinthians 4:4). If you will give him your soul, he does have the power to give you the kingdom of the world.
Our world has a multitude of people that Satan has purchased just like he tried to buy Jesus. Many people will look at their worldly blessings and say, “Look what God has blessed me with.” They do not know that it was not the God of Heaven but the false god of this world. Any material blessing that does not come in a manner that makes you a greater saint or richer toward God did not come from the Heavenly Father. Anything you possess that robs you of your family time, your church life, or your devotion in the Word of God and prayer is not from the God of Eternity. When your job becomes a weight around your neck, you must ask the Lord of your life to free you for His kingdom from the burden of destruction.
If the world offers you some great possession that separates you from the church where God has planted you, you must stop to consider the source of that offer. If the world tries to buy you away from the time necessary to be a great elder or deacon in your church, a dedicated dad or mom, or a dedicated husband or wife, the offer did not come from the third heaven but from that kingdom in the mid-air. Satan is very busy buying this world’s allegiance. We look at lives of rock stars, movie actors, and other celebrity personalities and quickly admit that they have sold out to the god of this world. Do not forget that the devil is buying the little man or woman just like he is buying the big fish.
No wonder Jesus made such strenuous requirements for His disciples and saints. The world and its god, Lucifer, are constantly after your heart. Satan will pay any price to buy and destroy your soul and the only possibility for your eternal salvation is total surrender to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. You must “forsake all,” the entire world and all of its claims for your one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” (St. Luke 9:23b-25). Later, He added, “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14:26-27). The majority of the church world is religious but knows nothing of this kind of Biblical surrender. They are going to be eternally lost unless someone gets this message to their heart.
The only blessings you can count as being from God are those that come to you after you have denied all to follow Jesus. When you surrender to Him, deny yourself, and deny all the claims men make on you in exchange for the one life of total lordship under Jesus Christ, He will meet all of your needs and give you more than Satan could have ever given, plus eternal life. That is His promise to every saint of God. Read carefully, “And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting” (St. Luke 18:29-30). His offer to every living soul is to give you His Kingdom if you will refuse Satan’s kingdom. There are only two kingdoms in the world and the choice is yours. Jesus said, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (St. Luke 12:32).

Jesus Said, “In My Name Shall They Cast Out Devils”
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010The greatest truth in the ministry of God’s people is very simple, “We wrestle not against flesh and blood.” The Church is losing because we labor by our fleshly programs instead of by the power of the Holy Ghost. Jesus left no doubt when He told His disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. One of His great teachings was about casting out the strongman (a ruler of the darkness of this world) before we try to take a house. “No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house” (Mark 3:27). All throughout Church history — when an awakening came — there was a renewed interest in casting out devils. There are those that claim that the days of such miracles are past. For that crowd, they have. Those who make such claims are ignorant of Church history. In the new Open Bible Dialogue series that I aml beginning this Saturday, August 28, 2010, I will give the testimonies of the greatest of the Church fathers. Why would the Bible be full of miracles from Genesis to the last words of the Bible and then end when He sends His Church into all the earth? If ever miracles, signs, and wonders were needed it is today. My friends, the time of the Latter Rain outpouring is at hand. This world has never seen as great of miracles and wonders as we are about to witness. Those churches that refuse to allow a mighty move of God’s Holy Ghost will be left in their deadness. Of course, there will be imposters. The devils will try to discredit the real just as he has always tried, but true men of God will rebuke the false and keep on seeing God’s power and the harvest of the End times. Please do not miss the sermon this Sunday, “Jesus said, ‘In My name …..they shall speak with new tongues.’” You will be thrilled to know that this truth has never ended.

Where Are You In The Great Contest Of The Real Or False?
Saturday, August 21st, 2010The Greatest Spiritual Contest of the entire church age is occurring throughout the church world. There is a developing trend that is far deeper than the past two or three decades. The new fad or trend is the growth of perverted churches. The sinner-friendly was followed by the Rock ‘n Roll; but, now it’s so dark that the only name that is proper or that rightly describes these churches is “perverted.” To call them a church is to pervert the word “church.” In the Book of Revelation, Jesus Christ called them, “a synagogue of satan”. Even, the secular media speaks of these fads with disdain. One reporter said, “If the evangelical Christian leadership thinks that ‘cool Christianity’ is a sustainable path forward, they are severely mistaken. As a twenty something, I can say with confidence that when it comes to church, we don’t want cool as much as we want real.” This reporter further stated, “What it has not considered carefully enough is that it may well be putting itself out of business with God.” (Brett McCracken) What a mouthful from a reporter that may well be smarter than some ministers. The Bible has made it plain that God does not tolerate a mixture. These “perverted churches” are actually in training by unclean spirits to be the Antichrist church during the coming Great Tribulation. This preparation had to occur before the Rapture to prepare Satan’s false church. Satan will depend on this perverted crowd to give him the glory that is due God alone. This coming Saturday (August 28,2010), we will begin a new series entitled, “Standing Our Ground Against Satan.” This may be the most important series ever aired on Open Bible Dialogue. Unclean spirits are invading our world and they are focusing on the church world first. If the church has no defense, then the world will be easy prey. I will do my best to train myself as well as every listener on defeating Satan. Not one believer has to yield his/her family up to the devil. If we are washed in the Blood, Satan can do nothing that we do not allow him to do.

Our God is Addicted to Our Love
Friday, August 20th, 2010
It is amazing how much our Heavenly Father reaches for the love of His choice creation. The human family was made in His likeness and the capacity of incredible love was a primary trait. The two most powerful words to describe God and man are “holy” and “love.” His holiness is a “loving holiness” and His love is a “holy love.” We were designed to be characterized by both great abilities combined with God at the center. If we remove God, our love will become hellish.
Look at the homosexual and lesbian world. Try to understand the darkness of a Muslim suicide bomber. Watch a dad or mom leave their loving companion and beautiful children for a fling in a forbidden bed. The dark things done in the name of love are legendary and ugly. Love out of control is nothing but love without purity. It’s love that marks the victim with the marks of death. Bringing a soul back from this brink is often impossible.
This same capacity that is baptized with Jesus Christ will create beautiful saints that bless both God and man. The Son of God taught us about His great love for His Father. Every Christian should read the Book of John with a view of nothing but Christ’s love for the Father. He declared that while He was in the world He was still in the Father’s bosom. “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). No man ever spoke greater words than these words. While He was on this earth, He lived every day in the divine sphere of eternity. No wonder He cried as the cross took its toll of death and separation, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34).
His death is now our grace to be free from unclean love so we can love like Jesus Christ loved. It must begin by loving the Father like He loved the Father. He never charges us with anything that He does not provide. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment” (Matthew 22:37-38). His first commandment to us is to love both His Father and, then, our neighbors.
When we fall head over heels in love with the “Sovereign God (the Father), His Son, and the Holy Ghost,” a transformation occurs deep inside the human spirit. At that moment we have actually returned to the very original reason for which He created us. Loving God is as intrinsic to the spirit of man as God loving man is to the heart of God. Holy love is what we were made to feel and express. It will immediately move beyond our love for God and show up in our love for our loved ones. This is the heart of a great saint and a great church.
Then, a supernatural thing occurs. The unexplainable divine God falls in love with you afresh. The Bible says, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him” (II Chronicles 16:9a). Enoch was such a man and God became addicted to Enoch’s love, “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). The Father took him back to His house for eternity.
Job spoke similar words in the midst of his great despair, “What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? And that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?” (Job 7:17-18). Be careful to discern the depth of these words. Notice the statements that God “shouldest set thine heart upon him” and “that thou shouldest visit him every morning.” This is what the Father did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. We must learn that prayer and worship are bound together. When we come to love Him with a passion of loving Him, He will acknowledge the altar where this occurs and He will begin to meet us there.
Jesus said this in His great pastoral prayer and then He described it even deeper, “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23). There are so few saints that have become great lovers of God. We are not speaking of giddy love that is all show with little substance. This love has moved beyond fleeting emotions and empty speech. This is love on a sphere that has clouds for its lining and the mountains on which to skip.
Worldly things have lost their hold on the level of love that can say with the Apostle Paul, “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10). As I write, He invites us to fall in love with Him so that we allow Him to fall in love with us. He loves everyone with a saving love; but, He can only love the sanctified and set apart with intimate love.

The Greatest Signs Of Christ’s Ministry
Thursday, August 19th, 2010Jesus Christ shook His world with “Signs And Wonders.” The New Testament Church did the same. The first and most important “Wonder” was the defeat and casting out of Unclean Spirits. The devil’s signs and wonders will be spectacular things like gold dust falling, gold filling in teeth, angel feathers, weeping Madonnas, oil on foreheads, and a long list of others. All of those kinds of showy signs are dead giveaways. When the Son of God or a great saint of God does something that is a Biblical sign, it will represent the nature of God. Compassion for a hurting person, healing in a sick body, and delivering a sin sick soul from the bondage of evil are the miracles of God. The defeat and utter casting out of demons are Biblical signs that prove the glory of our Superior God. The life and ministry of Jesus Christ revealed one defeat after another for the devil. Devils knew who He was before the Disciples knew and they feared him with desperation. Listen! “When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not… And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep” (Luke 26:28,31). Jesus had absolute mastery over every unclean spirit He encountered. When He called Lazarus back from the dead, he had already descended into upper Sheol and Satan had the keys. The moment Jesus said. “Lazarus,” the devil took the keys and turned Lazarus loose. One of the most powerful examples was the woman that was bowed over by unclean spirits of affliction. “And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity…And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” (Luke 13:12,16). Nothing proves the Son of God’s ministry and our right to do the same as His total defeat of the devil.

The Supernatural Signs Are Soon To Leave No Doubt
Saturday, August 14th, 2010There are only two kingdoms in the world. One is the Kingdom of God the Father and His Son, and the other is the kingdom of the devil and his Antichrist. The coming display of signs and wonders is going to be a contest between these two Kingdoms. Bible Prophecy is extremely clear about what the world will witness. God’s great supernatural signs will leave no doubt as to His superiority. When Russia, Iran, and the Muslim horde march on Israel; God is going to unleash such power and devastation on their army that only one soldier out of six will live. There will be not be any recognizable Muslim religion left when He is finished. Ezekiel promised by the Holy Ghost, “When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there” (Ezekiel 39:27-28). The world will begin to understand who our God really is. The New Testament tells us that the mid-heavens, between Earth and God’s Kingdom and Throne, will disappear. These are just two of His great wonders soon to occur. Satan certainly has his plans to compete with God. He is building His massive church that the Bible calls “a Whore Woman” right now. The apostate church world believes they are doing business for God, but they are actually building Satan’s whore religion. All you have to do is read what the secular news is saying about the new religion of today’s church to know it is false. They are talking clearer than the church is talking. Satan’s greatest wonder is his rich and massive church. They brag of their thousands, while we struggle to get a few hundred or less. Just wait, our time is right down the road. The contest will be over soon and the Holy Bible will win every time.

The Casting Out of Unclean Spirits
Thursday, August 12th, 2010
The cultures of the world are being progressively mastered by unclean spirits. Almost our entire church population is completely helpless before this hostile takeover. In most cases parents with unclean children simply retreat and give themselves to silent misery. Ministers have no idea what to do but call in a religious or secular psychologist.
It’s a spiritual war and the answer is right in the Word of God. The people of God, godly saints, have not been left in a hopeless condition. We have the means of perfect victory over every design of the devil against our lives. If the Church will wake up and give herself back to the supernatural provisions of our Triumphant Head, the victorious Son of God, everything will change.
We must believe that Satan has been totally defeated by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The devil can do nothing except what the Lord Jesus Christ allows or what the Body of Jesus Christ allows. There are certain areas of the End Times, where Satan has been given his final liberties. Jesus Christ has him on a leash. All other areas of his activities are limited by mankind, whether they are sinners or saints. With the sinner, Satan does as he pleases unless they turn to the Lord. But, with God’s saints, he does his dark deeds because we do not know our rights or because we simply forfeit our rights. In most cases the people of God simply face the terror of the devil as their fate. It’s almost like the saints of the Lord beg the devil for mercy. Believe me, he has no mercy!
We must understand the total victory that the Son of God has achieved. The early church was a perfect example of that glorious triumph. Unbelieving Bible teachers and preachers have helped the devil big time by trying to establish that all supernatural possibilities ended when the Bible was completed. Nothing in the Bible suggests such utter defeat. The opposite has never ceased to be true.
Jesus Christ has totally defeated Satan. As recorded by John, He stated, “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out” (John 12:31). John, also, stated in his first epistle, “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). The entire Book of Acts is a picture of one supernatural event after another. Church history is full of great revivals, miraculous healings, demons being cast out, and awesome signs and wonders. Angels have been seen and their powers witnessed by multitudes. You must settle this fact or you can forget seeing evil spirits defeated in your life.
Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. These were the very words of the Son of God Himself. But, He did not end with this warning. He said, “I am come that they (you) might have life (victorious, triumphant and glorious) and that they (you) might have it more abundantly (supernatural and complete)” (John 10:10). This cannot mean anything but a life lived in victory over the devil and this world of evil. Jesus promises, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
John wrote to the church and said, “I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one” (I John 2:13b). It’s time that the Body of Christ stands up and starts “casting out devils.” Our churches, our homes, and our world are under siege. We can believe the doubters, or we can believe the Lord Himself and His Holy Spirit that dictated His Holy Bible. Jesus stated, ”He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:16-18). If you have a corrupted Bible, those words have been removed or placed in doubt by modern translators. There is absolute proof that they are wrong; ignore them!
Our communities are full of perverted souls, and our homes and friends are under siege. He told us that we were guardians of our homes and churches. Read how He stated this great truth and promise, “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils” (Luke 11:21-22). He also said, “The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12b). The strong man is Satan. He comes with his lies and intimidations, and the church world hides in their defeatist theology.
I remember a little girl that came to visit her dad while living with her mother, who was in a very questionable situation. She came with her dad to church and seemed perfectly normal. After church, they went home and she became very sick and disturbed. Eventually, I was called to the hospital. When I arrived, she was normal for a few minutes and spoke kindly to me. Then, she became agitated and began to taunt me in a guttural voice. “My god is bigger than your God,” she declared. All evidence of being possessed by an unclean spirit was present. We began to pray, and a standoff of at least thirty minutes occurred. Suddenly, she was perfectly free and returned to normal; the demons had departed. The next day the doctor called me to thank me for coming and to give witness of her perfect healing.
We must learn to discern “unclean spirits” in the church, our homes, or anywhere our duty takes us. Spirit-filled believers have the perfect right to cast out these unclean entities. “There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one” (Acts 5:16). We must not make a show of our victories or create a great fanfare. That has left a bad name on this Biblical truth. Casting out unclean spirits is as simple as laying hands on the sick. Jesus simply rebuked them and they departed. There are multitudes of families, homes, and troubled lives that we will never help until “we bind the strong man” and throw him out. Jesus said, “No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house” (Mark 3:27).

Are Miracles Biblical?
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010The first answer is very simple, “without miracles, the church is helpless.” Two, “without miracles, the devil has a free ride.” On and on, we can see how desperate the Church and God’s people are for all of us to wake up. Miracles have been a part of the true Church from the second chapter of Acts to the present. I love the great scriptures in the last chapter of Mark. These words from the Holy Ghost have been the subject of debate and rejection since the second and third century. It is believed that the apostates that made up the scholars at Alexandria, Egypt, removed them because they had never seen a miracle. The false versions of the Bible that followed left out the last twelve verses of Mark chapter twelve. This very week I read a list of great Church Fathers of the first, second, third, and fourth centuries that quoted from one or more of these verses. The dependable Textus Receptus (Authorized Greek New Testament) contains these verses because they give a fitting end to this passage of God’s Word. Lets read them, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:16-18). At present, there is an overwhelming attack against everything Spiritual and Sacred. The devil knows his time is short and “unclean spirits” are destroying lives by the millions. The only answer is the supernatural power of the Holy Ghost just like promised in this Bible text. I will not be cheated out of God’s best. The Holy Spirit will anoint every person that is willing and you can be victorious. Devils can be driven out of your home, your children can be delivered from unclean living, and your church can be a powerhouse for God.
