📌Let’s get real about Halloween.
Kcm

Each year the world celebrates Halloween with almost no understanding of the darkness behind the holiday. For many, the idea of dressing up in a costume is a way to celebrate and spend time with family and friends, and they give no thought to the significance of the day. Cute costumes, decorations and Halloween parties seem like fun; meanwhile the devil deceives people by using Halloween to draw people into darkness away from God’s light.

Jesus knew the believer would live in a world of darkness, and He prayed for the Father’s help. “I’m not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one” (John 17:15). In the midst of a dark world, you can walk in God’s light.

How do you walk in God’s light as a believer? Continue reading “Let’s Get Real About Halloween by kcm” →

Rick Renner Shares: The Devil Inserts Thoughts

In John 13:2, the Bible gives us a very powerful insight into the way the devil establishes a foothold in people’s minds.

Back in John 12:3–7, Mary brought a pound of spikenard and poured it on Jesus’ feet. Judas thought her act of love was a waste of money and took issue with Jesus about it. But Jesus told Judas to leave Mary alone and allowed her to continue.

John 13:2 then tells us: “And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.”

What was the exact moment that Satan put this thought into Judas’ heart? Apparently, it was when Judas became offended with Jesus about the spikenard. Perhaps Judas didn’t agree with Jesus’ decision, or maybe he didn’t like the fact that Jesus told him to leave Mary alone. Whatever the reason, it was at that moment of disagreement that the devil found an open door into Judas’ heart.

The Power of Asking Questions

📌The Power of Asking Questions

You know, I’ve been thinking about why it is that when someone asks a question, people sometimes treat them like they’re dumb. I’ve come to realize it’s not really about the one asking. It’s about the insecurities and pride in the ones answering.

This isn’t new. It’s been happening for centuries. Job’s friends mocked him. The Pharisees scoffed at the disciples. Paul was ridiculed in Athens. People have always confused asking questions with being weak. And honestly, it will keep happening until Jesus comes back.

Since we can’t save the whole world from this mindset, the best thing we can do is walk in wisdom. The Bible gives us anchors for that:
• Proverbs says not to waste words on a fool because they’ll only despise it. So sometimes wisdom is knowing when not to ask.
• Jesus said we must be childlike in spirit. Asking questions keeps us humble and childlike … and God loves that posture.
• Proverbs also reminds us that wise people love correction. If someone mocks your question, it probably shows they’re not the audience for your wisdom.
• And Proverbs 26 says sometimes you answer a fool plainly, sometimes you don’t … it takes discernment.

🔹So the key is wisdom. Asking the right question at the right time to the right person is really a form of spiritual warfare. It protects your dignity and keeps your growth moving forward even in a mocking world.

Fear is A Spirit, but So Is POWER

Fear is a Spirit — and So is Power

2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP)

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

Expounding the Verse

When Paul wrote these words to Timothy, he wasn’t simply talking about a feeling of fear. He named it for what it is—a spirit. Fear is not just an emotion that sweeps over you; it is a spiritual presence that seeks to control, weaken, and paralyze. It whispers lies, inflates threats, and magnifies the power of the enemy in your mind until you shrink back from your God-given calling. Continue reading “Fear is A Spirit, but So Is POWER” →
