Ego: Satan's Gateway Led By The Spirit or Ego First, we need to identify what "Ego" really is. Ego is a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance, e.g. "He needed a boost to his ego". Some synonyms of the word ego include self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth, self-respect, self-conceit, self-image, self-confidence, and amour propre (a sense of one's own worth; self-respect). Ego is a word that has become very much a part of our daily vocabulary and an accepted part

Do you face suffering with joy or do you shrink from it? There are two ways to go through suffering: in the flesh or in the Spirit. One produces nothing and robs you of your inheritance and rewards. The other produces eternal fruit that brings God glory.

In recent years, many Churches and ministries have encouraged Believers to come under their "covering". But this false doctrine only leads God's people away from the truth as they look to men, denominations, or other affiliations for security rather than the true covering of Jesus Christ.

The spirit of Behemoth is referenced in Job 40. Behemoth and Leviathan are central to the theme of this part of the book of Job. Many Theolgoians who do not have eyes to see look at these two creations as being mythological creatures, but God does not waste His Word. But rather, God gives revelation and understanding to those who have eyes to see. When you are dealing with the spiritual real, both Behemoth and Leviathan are two key principalities in Satan's kingdom. Behemot

What Is True Repentance? Repentance Leads to Faith 2 Timothy 2:22-23 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart . But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. You must be very careful when you discuss different aspects of the faith with others. Ensure that you do not allow the wrong spirit to come in and cause division. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the servant of t

Have you left your first love for the Lord Jesus Christ? The Church at Ephesus was commended for its faithfulness in many areas of life and ministry, and yet they had missed the most fundamental commandment: to love the Lord with all their hearts, mind, soul, and strength.

Are you prepared to die for your faith in Christ Jesus? A time of unprecedented persecution is coming to the Church in these last days. You must be ready and prepared to "love not your life unto death". Peter Johnson covers the apostle John's letter to Smyrna in the Book of Revelation. This Church endured horrendous tribulation, but was encouraged to stand fast in their faith until the end. This is a letter of encouragement and endurance for all who are faithful in Christ Jes

Love or Legalism Including Prayer of Repentance for Self-Righteousness and Not Walking In Love Legalism or Christ? "Question: What does the Bible say about legalism?... Answer: The word "legalism" does not occur in the Bible. It is a term Christians use to describe a doctrinal position emphasizing a system of rules and regulations for achieving both salvation and spiritual growth. Legalists believe in and demand a strict literal adherence to rules and regulations. Doctrinally

One of Satan's greatest weapons against Christians is to bring them under the condemnation of the Old Testament Law. When believers in Christ turn to works of self-righteousness by attempting to abide in the Old Covenant or mix the Old and New Covenants, they open themselves up to deception and fall away from God's grace. In this teaching, Peter Johnson explains that the Old Testament Law had a purpose that was totally fulfilled by Christ Jesus, and now no longer has any val

Rejection Equals Rebellion 1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king. One of biggest, most destructive weapons that satan uses against Christians, and anyone else in the world, is to cause them to feel rejection. The spirit of rejection will separate you from the love of God. It is a lie. People are destroyed through a lack

Ego In the Temple Ego: Satan's Gate The whole process of sanctification is ongoing. You live in a corrupt body. Your flesh is corrupt. In a way, you are imprisoned in your body of sin. However, God has provided you with a means of escape. That way of escape is the Cross . Your salvation comes through Jesus Christ and His shed blood. The Cross is foolishness to man, but it is the power of God for salvation. That is where you have to allow Christ to crucify your old ego. Your o

Many followers of Christ have missed the simplicity in the message of the Cross. To be resurrected to new life with Christ, believers must first be baptized into His death by crucifying their flesh and dying to self.

Believer, who are you really married to and which Covenant are you living under? Are you married to the Law or Christ? Far too many Christians have failed to fully grasp what Jesus accomplished for them on the cross, and as a result have come back under Satan's deception and bondage. When you discover the truth of the New Covenant and what it means for you, you will completely disarm every weapon of Satan in your life and learn to walk in freedom and victory by the power of t

2 Corinthians 4:15-16 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. You cannot let your outward man drag you down. If you have afflictions in your body, the Word of God tells you to rejoice and be glad, knowing that the perseverance of your faith produces patience, virtue, and temperance. 2

One of the most misunderstood, but frequently asked questions in Christianity is "How do I walk in the Spirit?". In order to learn to walk in the Spirit, you must first understand the difference between the Old and New Covenants. Many Christians are unwittingly coming under the Old Covenant and not walking by faith and the Spirit of God. Learn more about walking in the Spirit in part one of this two-part series.
