Can a believer have a demon?

Can demons affect Christians?  Can a believer have a demon?  Can a Christian be possessed by a demon?

These questions come up very often when I teach on spiritual warfare and casting out demons.  They are good questions.  The answer, in my mind, mainly comes down to the definition of words.  In this post I hope to explain this in a way that makes it very simple and obvious to understand. Read more

Foolish Galatians

fools - i pity themGalatians 3:1-5

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—

Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?

Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?

Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Galatians is a letter that was written to some people that had become Christians as a result of Paul’s preaching in their region.  When Paul first came to these people, he told them the good news about Jesus.  Jesus had died for their sins, and now God was offering eternal life to them.  They believed the message, accepted the offer, and were born again (John 3:3-8) into God’s family and kingdom.

Charismata – Grace Gifts

“CHARIS” is a word in the original Greek language of the New Testament.  It is often translated as grace, kindness, favour, blessing, etc.

It means “unmerited favor.”  It means “goodwill that is not deserved.”  It means “something very good given to someone who is undeserving.”

If it is deserved in any way, it is not CHARIS.  If there is anything that you can do earn it, it is not CHARIS.  Read more

Does God’s Will Always Happen?

muddy_shoes_cleaningadvices_blog_comWhat is God’s will?  How can we know God’s will?  Does God’s will always happen?  Can we look at the world around us and assume that everything we see is because of God’s will?  If we pray for something and it doesn’t happen, should we assume that it wasn’t God’s will?

The way that we understand, define, or think about the subject “God’s will” is very important.  This is one of those topics that will affect so many other things.  It affects how we view God’s character.  It affects the decisions we make every day.  It is difficult to overstate the influence this has on the lives of people that believe in God.

In this post, I hope to provide a way to think about God’s will that will be simple, helpful, and most importantly, biblical. Read more
