God is faithful to answer prayer.

Have you ever wondered if God hears your prayers? You know God is real, but it like he is living on the other side of the earth. I have been there even though we have taught on the believer's authority and spiritual warfare for years.  This week the Lord brought me back to Prov. 3:5,6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight."-NASB

The Lord is so good to give us those experiences that show he hears your prayers.  One of his names is Jehovah Roi -the god who hears. 

We have a grandson with a learning disability.  He is 20 but functions on the level of a fourth grader.  However, his spirit is pure and the Lord has given him the gift to see angels and demons. He has a job at a local grocery store stocking and helping people with their groceries. 

On Halloween night we received an urgent call.  He was seeing demons all  through the store around the candy and decorations.  He had told them to leave in the name of Jesus, but they kept coming back and he was a little fearful.  He called and asked us to pray for him and the situation.  We prayed a warfare prayer to bind them and negate their influence. Shortly after we prayed, He called back excited.  He said," The demons are here, but it is like they are stuck and can't move.  There are also bars around the candy and decorations. There are angels walking all through the store."

Years ago my wife and I were prayer walking through a Guatemalan village that was noted for the second largest witchcraft village in the whole nation. The local host church sent people from their congregation to translate and direct us to areas that needed prayer.  We entered into a house where an infant was really sick. The household was not a Christian one.  Three generations surrounded us as we prayed a simple prayer in English to bind the powers of darkness and bring healing to the child.  Nothing seemed to change, but one of the local members of our team stayed as we left the house to return to the church. During the team reports later in the afternoon, there seemed to be a lot of excitement about our team.  When I asked about the excitement, our translator said that the mother of the young child had given her heart to the Lord, because of our prayer for her child.  God was at work when we had no clue that anything was happening. 

If you have given your heart to Jesus and accepted his gift of salvation, Then you can say as the Apostle Paul said. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Gal 2:20-NASB

God always hears the prayers of his family.  Jesus loves his creation and longs to have us in his family.  If you haven't given your heart to the Lord, ask Him to show himself to you. Acknowledge that you are separated from him and ask him to come into your life.  He is faithful to answer your prayer and help you walk the life of victory that has eluded you.

 Welcome to Kingdom Views! Yes, it has been ten years since I ventured into the blog world, but the Lord has nudged me that it is time to return. We are often called to pray "Thy Kingdom Come; Thy will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."  A lot has shifted in the last  decade.  The Lord promised in His word that He will shake everything that can be shaken so only that which cannot be shaken will remain. The chaos we see all around us is a Kingdom war. Many will ask, "Why doesn't the Lord just do it and we will go in and take up residence?" When we have questions about anything in scripture, we have to look at the place where it is first mentioned to get the sense of where the Lord stands on the subject.  Let's look at the original model.  The creation and the Garden. God created man (and woman) in His image and likeness.  They would look like him and have his character (act like him with full authority).  He was set in the Garden and told him to...

Why is it important to know God as He really is?

  Trust   in   the   LORD   with all   thine heart;   and   lean   not   unto   thine own understanding. Prov. 3:5-KJV These are chaotic times when evil seems to be rising up everywhere.  More and more we realize that only God can bring a lasting shift and  salvation. We have to trust Him to do more than man can do.  Trust can only come from a source that has proven to be solid, good, and with the  knowledge that it  is really for you not against you. Many of us say they know God, but do we really know him as he is or do we  place our trust in a God that fits our understanding. God says in his word that in our day he will shake everything that can be shaken so that which  cannot be shaken will remain. These times of shaking test us and cut away  those things that hinder us from being all he created us to be.  I call them  "proving times" because in them he  proves to us that he ...

A Kingdom Viewpoint and Kingdom Results I have often taught on Caleb and Joshua as people of a different spirit.  They saw the bigness of God rather than the natural barriers of the giants in the land. Most of the Spies saw themselves like grasshoppers and they feared the giants in the land the Lord had promised. There is always someone saying, "How could the people of Israel see all of God's miracles and not believe the Lord that he would give them the land. I was one of those people.  One day, I heard the Lord say, "Ken, how do you see me?" When the Lord shows you something there is usually a test.  Tests of God prove who he is and his faithfulness as well as the degree of the reality in your life. One of my tests came during a ministry trip to India.  A friend of mine was a native of India and had a large ministry planting churches and training leaders.  He had often encouraged me to come with him to India and spend time with his leaders.  I have to admi...
