An example is the last thing God can show a person to try to persuade them. Both in scripture and in our own lives, we see example after example that ought to be clear warning signs. But still, with all of the examples that we have before us, the majority of people fall into the same condition because they do not sufficiently consider them. Let us not follow the present trend! Let us examine what caused others to fall so that we can learn from and avoid their mistakes.

Nothing can substitute a definite encounter with God. There are things that simply will not change until you make contact with God Himself; and when you do make this contact, it is as undeniable as your very existence! When you have an encounter with God, you are forever a changed individual.

Humans are natural worshippers; everyone is worshipping something in some form. Many people claim to worship God, but true worship of God is rarer than we may realize. True worship is done as much, if not more, outside of a church building as it is inside! This is a message of introspection and realignment: listen carefully to what the Spirit has to say to you through it.

The strategy if the enemy in these last days is to wear out the people of God. He just wants to keep the pressure on the saints until they break, and unfortunately the devil has had no little success with this strategy over the years. But thank God we do not have to cave under the pressure of the enemy! The way out is to cast every care upon God, one by one; don't let them pile up on you. The devil cannot break you if God is carrying the weight of your load!

Often God does not move in a certain fashion, not because there is a lack of clarity with Him, but because we have allowed ourselves to be comforted with our conditions. If we are going to get God to move like we see in scripture, we must get to a place where we are so troubled about it that we will not be satisfied with anything less!

If you fully understood what it took God to deliver you from all the spirits that had you bound, you would praise God more than you do now. The devil does not play games; he does not loose a soul until he is absolutely forced. Now, since you have been freed from the bondage of Egypt, you ought to get as far away from it as you can: launch out into the deep in salvation!

We are now living in the dangerous times prophesied about by the apostle Paul. The church world is in as deplorable of a condition as it has ever been. It is no time to get careless or distracted now! The train to glory is picking up momentum; if you are going to get on and stay on, it is time for action, lest you be left behind.

Divine healing is an unconditional part of the gospel! The message of divine healing causes the people of God to live close and careful lives; this is why it is usually the first thing that the enemy removes when a person or group of people apostatize. But no matter who discards the message or practice of divine healing, it is still a promise in God's Word and available to every child of God!
