Psalm 116.16 says: O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains. It wasn’t until David started serving God that He found true freedom. We have a strange view of freedom in the modern age. Recently, several people have told me they will not beContinue reading “Serving in the Church is Awesome 04 Serving Brings Freedom”

Serving in the Church is Awesome 03 It Makes You Different!
Most people know Malachi is the prophet who told us how important tithing is, but he also has something equally important to say about serving! Let’s read Malachi 3.17 and 18 in the New Living Translation: 17 “They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment, they willContinue reading “Serving in the Church is Awesome 03 It Makes You Different!”
Serving in the Church is Awesome 01 Addition
Did you know in every church God calls everyone there to be a servant? Not just the pastor and elders? All of us are supposed to be servants of the Most High God. And serving is absolutely an awesome thing. I am seeing so many people fail to enter into their destiny because they don’tContinue reading “Serving in the Church is Awesome 01 Addition”
How to Handle Accusations 08: The Desperation Stage
Another principle I have found over the years dealing with accusers is that if their accusations do not work, because they simply don’t hold water, is that accusers can dish it out but not take it. They can say anything they like to disgrace you, they will lie to disgrace you, they will tell aContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 08: The Desperation Stage”
How to Handle Accusations 07: The Word is Always Missing!
I have found over the years that when someone wants to accuse you, the Word is always missing. Now obviously, when someone in the world wants to accuse you they probably don’t have any Word or care about the Word, But if you watch carefully accusers who are even Christians (yes, sometimes Christians are yourContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 07: The Word is Always Missing!”
How to Handle Accusations 06: What Are They Thinking?
Recently, someone emailed a pastor friend of mine accusing me of doing things I had never done, the email had at least half a dozen lies in it, and it was penned to insult me and rip me apart. When things like that happen, the first thing I think is glory to God I amContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 06: What Are They Thinking?”
How to Handle Accusations 05: The Purpose of an Accusation
Moses was accused, and we looked at that in a previous post in this series, and eventually after that accusation Moses acted in a way to avoid accusations and ended up making a big mistake in his ministry and life. This is the satanic purpose of accusations – to bring you to a place whereContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 05: The Purpose of an Accusation”
How to Handle Accusations 04: Proximity and Accusation
I sometimes get a nasty letter or email from someone who has seen part of one episode of one of my TV shows (if you don’t watch me on TV, you should, go to http://www.tree.church/tv and find out when we are on near you) and let me tell you, I never even think about thatContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 04: Proximity and Accusation”
How to Handle Accusations 03: The Principle of the Inverse Accusation
There is something about accusations that I had noticed as a pastor for many years watching myself and others be accused, but I had never seen it in Scripture until recently. I call it the principle of inverse accusation, and it states that accusers nearly always accuse people of being the exact opposite of whatContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 03: The Principle of the Inverse Accusation”
How to Handle Accusations 02: Accusations and Friendship
Because the principles of Accusations are not well known or talked about, and what the Bible teaches us not valued or explained, most people who are accused are vulnerable to losing friends when accused. When Satan finds someone to accuse you, and like I said last week, a friend or family member is his favouriteContinue reading “How to Handle Accusations 02: Accusations and Friendship”
