An ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ is radical and dedicated to advance the Kingdom of God on this earth. The word radical is defined as “departing markedly from the usual or customary or seeking to make drastic reforms in society.” This is exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ has called us as Christians to do on this earth; to depart from the usual or customary in the world’s eyes and to make drastic reforms in society. ...

It is extremely important that we as Christians are sensitive to and be led by the Holy Spirit. I don't believe that it is by chance that you are reading this article; I believe that God has prompted you to take time to read this so that you will see the importance of being led by His Spirit. In some situations, this could mean life or death. Right now I believe the Holy Spirit is asking us,...

Fear is an enemy to the Christian. Just as faith attracts the things of God into your life and pleases Him, fear invites the things of the devil into your life and pleases the enemies of your soul; Satan and evil spirits. It is a known medical fact that people who struggle with fear are more likely to get attacked with sickness and disease in their lives; the immune system even weakens when fear is present! Most...

When faith is truly present within a born again Christian, there are going to be certain characteristics or fruit that are exhibited. When I first got saved and started attending a charismatic church, I noticed that the Christians used a language and terminology that was quite different from the world. There were characteristics that separated them from the worldly minded people. I call it the language of faith. When a person first gets saved, they may...

You need to take hold of a truth from the Word of God. God desires to manifest His glorious presence on this earth. He desires to let the fire of His Holy Spirit fall on all flesh (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:14-21). The Lord Jesus Christ prayed to His Heavenly Father, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." This should also be the heart cry and prayer of every born again Christian. ...

The following is a prophecy given from the Lord to Pastor James Brandt on September 17, 2005 at 5:00AM for RCC and the...

The Word of God says that Christians are ambassadors or representatives of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). When a country sends out an ambassador to represent them, they are expected to be faithful to the standards of that country. The standard for the Christian is the Bible; the Word of the Living God. Some Christians and churches are more faithful to their denominational beliefs than to the Word of God that abides forever. I am not against...

The Lord is calling His people personally and corporately to press in and go higher spiritually. Putting on nice clothes and playing church one day a week will not meet that goal. God wants your heart twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Do you really love the Lord Jesus Christ or is it just lip service on Sunday? Are you really committed to fulfill the will of God for your life or only...

You need to know that Satan and evil spirits are very strategic. Jesus said in John 10:10a that it is the thief that comes to steal, kill, and to destroy. That is the goal of our spiritual enemies, but how they go about to accomplish that in a person

In 2 Timothy 2:3 the Word of God refers to Christians as soldiers. This is not a war in the natural, but in the spiritual realm. Ephesians 6:12 says,

Today I want to share with you five things that Satan promotes that are enemies of the cross.  These five enemies will keep you from fulfilling God’s plan for your life.  If any of these points are active in your life, your spiritual walk with God will be hindered from moving forward. 
 
The first enemy of the cross is doubt.  The devil tries to get you to question God’s Word and His goodness.  There is a reason why Satan fights...

"Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.  And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. " Psalm 139:16
This truly amazes me, that God does have a specific plan for EVERY single person on the face of this earth.  He has a specific location that you are called to.  He has a specific person or group of people that you are called to influence.  He has a specific gifting...

As I was seeking the Lord in prayer a few weeks ago, two words kept playing over and over again in my spirit: divine appointments.  I knew that the Holy Spirit was trying to get my attention by giving me the outline of the message He wanted me to share with my congregation and you who are reading this article.  Divine appointments are encounters that God Himself has arranged to take place in your life.  These experiences will do one...

"But as for me, my contentment is not in wealth but in seeing You and knowing all is well between us.  And when I awake in Heaven, I will be fully satisfied, for I will see You face to face."  Psalm 17:15 TLB
That pretty much sums it all up.  When all is said and done, I want my first and foremost desire to be that everything is right between me and my Lord Jesus.  It's a day to day, minute...

Sickness, disease, and bondage never were and never will be God
