Authority of the Believer

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 20:08:00 -0500

In Matthew 28, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth. In that same passage, He passed the baton of authority on to us as believers. All of us as believers should be walking in Jesus' authority. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon in Mark 9, Jesus called them an unbelieving and perverse generation. Could it be that Jesus' frustration towards us comes from our lack in doing the same things He did when He walked on the earth?

Faith, Faithness, and Trust

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 28 Feb 2026 08:08:00 -0600

Do you have moody faith? Faith in its fullest form does not depend on your feelings. It comes from your spirit. When it seems like your faith is not working, when all hope is lost, that is when it matters most that you keep believing God. When all hope seemed lost for Jairus and his daughter, Jesus told him to keep believing. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spoke their faith even in the face of the fiery furnace, and God delivered them unharmed. Faith, faithfulness, and trust are layers that God is building into your life to deliver you no matter what you are facing.

Smith Wigglesworth Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 07:07:00 -0600

God is looking for people on earth whose lives produce results. Smith Wigglesworth's life produced results from heaven like few others in all of history. What was his secret? How did he pull God's will from heaven to earth?

Smith and Polly Wigglesworth

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 14 Feb 2026 14:14:00 -0600

A Valentine's lesson on Smith and Polly Wigglesworth. The love story of two people who loved the Lord. From ministry to marriage, to miracles, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you have ever sought God on why miracles happened in Bible times but not in our time, this Bible study is for you.

Protection in the Land of Goshen: Overcoming or Surviving?

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 07:07:00 -0600

When the world goes through a very intense time, are you ready for it? We are living in unstable times. No one seems to know for sure what is going to happen next. Do God's promises work in the worst of times? Even in the middle of a war. Or are God's promises only for the good times and the "safe" locations? Most people are content to survive bad times, but there is a special group of people that God has called to thrive in the worst times. Overcomers.

Testing Theories: Results Married To The Risk

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:02:14 -0600

Do you test out theories with God? Do you take risks to see if He will come through? God might want to bring your theory, the question you are asking, into reality. There is no question we ask God that He won't answer. If we seek Him, it is a guarantee we will find Him. If we ask, it is guaranteed that He will answer, and when we knock, it is guaranteed He will open the door. Do you have an assignment in proving theories? Sometimes you have to not know what you are doing to be crazy enough to do what God is wanting done.

The Sabatoge Spirit

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 07:07:00 -0600

Is there a spirit behind your problems that you aren't discerning? Sabotage is a spirit that works undercover. It works to make you the victim and perpetrator. Where you are unknowingly causing the very problem you are a victim to. God is a good God. It is His nature to give, so if there is good being withheld from you, ask God what you are doing to sabotage it and how you can defeat the spirit of sabotage.

Generational Curses

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 08:08:00 -0600

We are all a product of what has been blessed and cursed in our family lines. In Exodus 20:5-6 it says, the blessing of those who love God goes for a thousand generations, but the iniquity of the fathers goes to the children of the third and the fourth generations. The good news is you don't have to continue to live under the curse of past generations. The blood of Jesus has given each of us a choice. We can either passively continue living under the curse or break the power of the curse with the authority we have been given. Your choice will set the course for the next generations.

Passion

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:07:00 -0600

Great callings come with great passion. It was Jesus' compassion for the people that caused Him to do miracles. And the reality of heaven and hell should stir us to do something to reach the lost. We tend to suppress passion because we don't think God likes extremes, but truly He wants us either hot or cold, all the way in or all the way out, never lukewarm. It is the passionate, those who are on fire, who get things done for the kingdom of God.

10 Things to Know About Hearing God

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 19:07:00 -0600

The secret to success is learning to hear God's voice. Deep down, you must believe that God is speaking to you and wants to speak to you. The devil's voice should sound like a stranger to you, not familiar, and the Lord's voice should sound like your Shepherd. Hearing the Lord's voice is not all-knowing on our part. It starts with a willingness to trust the leading of His voice, not knowing the outcome, but knowing that it will be good.

Is Unforgiveness Unpardonable? Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 07:07:00 -0600

Can we stay in unforgiveness and still go to heaven? In Matthew 6, Jesus clearly says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." Forgiveness must be of utmost importance to God. Forgiveness is not weakness. It is not God making you the world's punching bag. Nor does holding unforgiveness give you power over the person who wronged you. The truth is, the person or thing you don't forgive, you will eventually become. Forgiveness is actually the most powerful thing Jesus could have you do. It causes you to start becoming like Him.

Is Unforgiveness Unpardonable? Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 07:07:00 -0600

Stress is Beneficial

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 19:07:00 -0600

The history of stress started in 1936. Now, a little less than a century later, according to the "experts," stress is responsible for every mental and medical problem under the sun. Is this true? The problem might be that we are believing the "experts" more than God's Word. It is the negative things we believe about stress that cause it to be detrimental to our well-being, not stress itself. Stress is a challenge, but it is not a threat. Stress, if viewed rightly, is meant to be beneficial.

Thankfulness Ramps Up Healing

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 16:44:00 -0600

Sometimes we think of prayer as figuring out the best strategy to get something from God. After all, He has everything, and we have less. But have you ever stopped to think about what God is wanting? And what could you give Him? There are things we give to one another in relationships without a single word being spoken. It should be the same with God. Gratefulness truly makes a huge difference in what we receive from God because wholeness and gratitude go hand in hand. Ask yourself, is God getting what He wants out of your life? Are you meeting the unspoken request He has of you?

High Side or Low Side?

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:33:00 -0600

What motivates you? The high side or the low side? John the Baptist sang the funeral song, and Jesus sang the wedding song, but still the people didn't move. What does it take for you to go deeper with God? Do you need to be yelled and told to repent like John the Baptist, or does the love and celebration of a wedding with Jesus move you? We may not realize it, but it is our choice whether we operate from the low side or the high side.

Making the Word Your Final Authority

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 19:07:00 -0600

What makes the final decision in your life? Whose words are you believing? Your parents, your friends, or your own opinions? For God's Word to truly be your final authority, His Word must take over every area of your thinking. His ways are truly higher than our ways. God is looking for sell out. Those who will sell everything, change their way of thinking completely, to gain the treasure found in the field.

The Power of Binding & Loosing

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 11:11:00 -0500

A call to intercession. Could what happened to Charlie Kirk have been stopped? Why does it seem as if evil and witches have more power than most Christians? Could it be God has made the execution of HIs will on earth depend on the will of man? "Upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." -Matthew 16:18-19. So God has given us the power and authority, but are we using it? When we bind, we have the power to limit Satan's power on the earth.

Satan the god of this World

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 19:07:00 -0500

While the devil was tempting Jesus in the wilderness, he offered to give Jesus all the kingdoms of this world. Did the enemy have possession of all the kingdoms of the world when Jesus physically walked the earth? And how much control over the world does the devil have now?

Spiritual House Cleaning

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 07:07:00 -0500

Deliverance is a spiritual house cleaning. We are responsible for 3 areas. 1. Personally. 2. Getting witchcraft out of your family. 3. Purging the Land of Evil. God means for witchcraft to be destroyed and completely removed from your life. And it's not just evil that gets us in trouble. It is when we try to mix good and evil together. Comprise or agreement with the enemy at any level leaves an open door for the enemy. In Acts 19 they destroyed all the witchcraft books and objects by fire. Even objects from witchcraft must be removed. God wants and is willing to set you completely free, but witchcraft has to be completely cut out of your life.

Soul Ties with People

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 22:10:00 -0500

Who do you place your soul next to? Soul ties either bring bondage or joy. Healthy soul ties should have a peaceful and settling influence on you. Jonathan loved David as himself, and their souls were knit together. It is so important to understand how God set it up. We are to love God more than we love ourselves, and we are to love those God has placed in our lives the same as we love ourselves. If God is not included in your relationship or you love another person more or less than you love yourself, it will become unhealthy. Loving God with your heart, soul, and mind creates an emotional intimacy that fills every other relationship in your life, but loving something witchy or dark will bring in emotional destruction. It is a necessity to have the Lord wrap the whole thing together because it is impossible to stand and endure in life without His great love.

Non Human Soul Ties

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 19:07:00 -0500

Are you hooked on a feeling? Soul ties are meant to be good, healthy, and from God, but when the enemy uses them for his purposes, they must be broken. When we have agreed with the enemy in any area, we must acknowledge the agreement, repent, and renounce until the soul tie is broken. Never before have we had visual simulation in the way we do today. TV, movies, and videos can open you up to a soul tie, causing you to relate deeply to something that isn't of God. Horror movies especially mix fear with fascination. The enemy is working to make it so that you are not a threat to his kingdom. But don't fall for his schemes. Don't train yourself with fear. Train yourself to overcome fear with the Name of Jesus.

Ought Not Be and Much Remains

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:55:00 -0500

There are things, as believers, that ought not be in our lives. Many times, we settle for crumbs when God has promised us bread. Jesus loosed a woman from an infirmity she had had for 18 years. In Jesus' words, what was happening to her should never have been. It is those demonic things that should have never been that God calls us to defeat. Our assignment is to take back territory that remains in the hands of the enemy so we can see the fullness of God's will in our time.

Treat Your Discernment As Holy

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 20:08:00 -0500

Discernment is a gift that few seem to have. It is also a stewardship. Without the Fear of the Lord, your discernment will not be clean. Being adamant or sloppy will not get you to the heart of the Lord. Discernment is truly a gift that must be treated as Holy unto the Lord. When we are seeking knowledge or insight into a situation that is hidden, our own agenda or desires apart from God will not get us to the right conclusion. We should always be testing what we are hearing and holding ourselves accountable to God if we miss it. Having a pure heart that wants what God wants sets you on the path to seeing correctly.

Is Martyrdom A Choice?

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 07:07:00 -0500

How do you weigh out verses in the Bible on the Lord's protection vs the verse on martyrdom? Do we have a choice whether to be a martyr or to be protected? Most Christians tend to believe that there is no choice when it comes to being a martyr, that God is the one making the choice for us. But is that what the Bible tells us? Jesus made a choice to lay His life down. It was not taken from Him. We can't let the enemy talk us into laying down lives before our purpose is complete.

Martyr vs Protection: A Way of Escape

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 13:11:00 -0500

We need to have an understanding of the difference between God's protection and becoming a martyr. Is it true that God protects at times, but at other times allows believers to be martyred? It is not that simple. As a believer, situations will arise that will try to take your life prematurely, but God always promises a way of escape. Being a martyr is a choice between you and heaven, but many do not know we have a choice. Jesus said, "No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily." God's promise of protection and deliverance stands. He does not want our life and purpose on this earth stolen. But when the time comes, and our purpose on earth has been completed, we have the choice to lay it down willingly. (Our apologies for the quality. This is an older recording from before we were releasing teaching online.)

The Wisdom of the Ask

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:03:00 -0500

Arrogance causes us not to ask God, even though it is God's nature to give. When we try to handle everything in our own ability and intellect, we close ourselves down from receiving. James 1 tells us to ask God for wisdom. God will never twist things on you, and He will give wisdom unconditionally if you ask. Our carnal mind demands to be in control, to know everything before we trust God to do anything outside of our comfort zone, but Proverbs tells us to "lean not on our own understanding." It's not our own, earthly understanding that will help us. Our wisdom has limits, but God's Spirit has none. Could it be there is no limitations with God but our ask?

The Scorched Earth Attack

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 21:09:00 -0500

Nehemiah received an assignment from God, and the enemy sent people to attack what God had commissioned before they even started building. The enemy tries to come and beat all the good out of what God has given you to accomplish. He wants to burn you so bad that you never think about doing ministry again. But we cannot allow the enemy to scorch the goodness of what God has given us. Even harsh reality can be overcome by commanding and forbidding. Truly, the joy of the Lord is our strength.

The Scorched Plant Attack

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 21:19:00 -0500

Protect everything good in your life. There is an attack that comes like a plant being exposed to too much sun. Everything becomes scorched at once. The devil will even try to steal the good memories and feelings from your past. This is warfare. It is like putting your hand on a hot stove. The enemy will try to keep you numb, but keep your joy. Fight for your joy, and the goodness of God will quickly return.

In Spiritual Warfare Give God Something to Work With!

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 14:22:00 -0500

You have to give God something to work with to win in spiritual warfare. Think of the boy who gave Jesus his lunch. Jesus adds to and multiplies what we give Him, but the devil subtracts and divides. Many times, we are so consumed with what we need from God that it never once crosses our mind what God wants from us. Could it be that giving something you already have is the key to what you are asking God for? There are no excuses with God when He is offering us everything in return.

Going From Helpless to Spiritual Authority

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 13:11:00 -0500

Do you know how to use what God has given you so you don't end up powerless? A promise from God is something God does, but authority from God is something we do with what God has given us. Authority is us taking the Word of God and doing something with it. God intends us to use the sword, which is the Word of God, to defeat the enemy. This is how we move from ignorance and powerlessness to growing in our God given authority.

3 Arenas of Spiritual Warfare

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 16:14:00 -0500

There are different arenas in which we can choose to do spiritual warfare. There is civilian (agricultural), courtroom, and battlefield warfare. God truly wants prayer to be preventative in our lives. We can have things theologically that we don't yet have experientially. Intercession is meant to bring what we have theologically into reality. Jesus and His 12 never experienced sickness, tragedy, or loss. They were always on the offensive, solving other people's problems, healing the sick, and casting out demons. God desires for us to live in a place of security and safety so we can go out and fight other people's battles, rather than being stuck fighting our own.

If Something Is About to Go Down Wrong, Take Action! Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 14:32:00 -0500

With Rebekah and Isaac and the blessing about to be passed down to the wrong son, there might be a better course of action for Rebekah to have taken, but at the very least, she acted on the Word of God that had been given to her. No action would have been the worst thing she could have done.

Was Rebekah a Manipulator or Shrewd? Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 12 Jul 2025 14:22:00 -0500

Can we trust Jesus, pray, and do nothing? We all know that action out of the flesh causes problems, but does a Word from God provoke action in us? A group discussion on the theology of Rebekah and Jacob and the "ethics" of what they did to Isaac and Esau to yank the wheel of history toward the Word God had spoken at Esau and Jacob's birth.

The Bible Commands Shrewdness

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 12:12:00 -0500

In certain situations, the Bible commands us to be shrewd. Rebekah with Jacob is a timeless example. The Bible commands us to be shrewd towards evil, in emergencies, and when something is about to go down wrong. If you want to have success against evil, you will need to become shrewd. You must have the ability to outthink your enemy. Christianity is not a competition about who has the best ethics. It is about furthering the kingdom of God in the face of evil.

Fight For What You Want

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 19:07:00 -0500

Have you ever wrestled with God? Have you wrestled with God and prevailed? Few wrestle with God, fewer wrestle with God and win. Jacob wrestled with God for one night, and his life was changed forever. He was given a new name, a new identity, and the name God gave him was given to a whole nation. The Israelis are forever a passionate people, full of fight. When will we, as Gentiles, direct our fight and passion toward our relationship with God?

The Modern History of the Authority of the Believer

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 07:07:00 -0500

The Authority of the believer is thought of as a recent idea in Christian circles, but have you heard of John A McMillan? He was born in 1873 and was a Canadian Presbyterian businessman who walked in the Authority of the Believer. What if you had been given authority from God but never walked in it? Instead of complaining about our problems, if we want results like Jesus, we might want to do it the way Jesus did. Speak to your mountain. Not everything we experience in this life is God's will. Ask yourself, are you asking God to do things for you when He has already given the authority to pull those things down from heaven?

Reluctance to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 22:10:00 -0500

Is there another experience with the Holy Spirit after we are born again? What does the Bible have to say? God gives gifts that seem foolish, only to confound those who think themselves wise. The Holy Spirit is the change we all need. Every character in the Bible who encountered the Holy Spirit was forever changed. Their boldness increased as their fear decreased. Are you asking for more of the Holy Ghost?

Holy Spirit: Egypt, The Wilderness, and The Promise Land

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 31 May 2025 20:08:00 -0500

Most Christians live and die in the wilderness, but it was only meant to be temporary. The Promise Land is God's true desire for every believer. People stay in the wilderness for three reasons. 1. They are still attached to Egypt(slavery) in their heart. 2. They are afraid of more of God and losing control. 3. They are afraid of the giants. God truly wants you free of carnal Christianity, free of control, and walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Doers and Do-Do: Comparing Our Faith To A Demon

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 27 May 2025 16:44:00 -0500

Is your plan for losing weight watching workout videos while eating food? This is how many of us approach faith. We watch sermons, listen to podcasts, attend church, pray, and even read the Word...but there is little to no action. There are two categories of people: those who hear the Word and do nothing, and those who hear and do the Word. Be a doer of the Word.

Re-Thinking Samson

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 19 May 2025 16:47:00 -0500

How can God use people who are so arrogant? The religious in the church often judge Samson but fail to see how God used him. The church works to disciple the lower levels of society, but we fail with the influential and strong. Be careful who you judge and stand against, many times God uses the "arrogant" more than the religious who refuse to take up any fight for the kingdom of God.

When Not To Drink

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 12 May 2025 23:11:00 -0500

What does the Bible say about drinking? Interestingly, the Bible tells us when not to drink and when to drink. But it's not a rule to follow, but a decision God is looking for us to make with our heart.

When God Surprises Us

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 04 May 2025 16:44:00 -0500

The more you serve the Lord, the more surprises God has in store. God doesn't reveal everything the moment we start trusting Him, otherwise, it wouldn't be trust. He always seems to do something better than what we could think up. He likes to surprise us. Like a dear friend setting up a surprise birthday party or a man planning a date, God is setting you up for something good. When you figure out God loves you, the mystery becomes fun. And you truly see the mystery of God lead you into His goodness.

That Lying Spirit of Rejection

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 14:22:00 -0500

God established the family structure to keep us from being rejected. He wants us to have the strength of love, yet people or circumstances can leave us wounded and feeling rejected. Understanding that God never intended that for us helps eliminate the spirit of rejection. Rejection is both a healing of the heart and a deliverance issue. The truth is we are beloved of the Lord, and no spirit of rejection should convince us otherwise.

Raising the Dead

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 10:10:00 -0500

Some people believe in a historical Jesus, others believe in an educational Jesus, but a very few believe in a Jesus who still raises the dead. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection." Are you letting God raise the dead areas of your life? For our lives to truly be used by God, they must go through the death, burial, and resurrection process. Don't hold onto your small ways, give them to God so He can resurrect them.

Judas

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 12 Apr 2025 15:33:00 -0500

What made Judas betray Jesus and the other disciples? He made himself look one way when his motive was entirely different. Judas was around the best ministry in the world, he saw all the miracles and probably did some himself. He was around extreme amounts of blessings but still chose to betray Jesus. Everything can look right in your life but if your motive is off it can spoil a whole thing. The true spiritual condition of our life is revealed by our affection for Jesus not simply our association with Him. The scary thing is we all may have a little Judas in us.

Do You See Yourself As Stupid?

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 07:07:00 -0500

We all have an inner voice and an outer voice we fight with. It is important that we don't receive or identify with words that teachers or even parents may unknowingly speak over us. This is an interview with Caeleigh and Dylan on how they overcame dyslexia and words spoken over them at a young age.

C. S. Lewis: The Case For Longing

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 17:55:00 -0500

Do you have unsatisfied longings? Creatures are not born with desires unless those desires exist...if I find myself with a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is I was made for another world...Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone because you were made for it, made for it stitch by stitch, as a glove is made for a hand. And beauty will unite with your soul, and you will think, this is what I am made for. -C. S. Lewis.

C. S. Lewis: Miracles

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 14:22:00 -0500

"If you rule out the supernatural, you will perceive no miracles." -C. S. Lewis. When we work to disprove miracles, we are actually working to disprove our own faith. In recent history, mankind has decided to put God on trial instead of it being mankind being on trial. Could it be that this judgment we have towards the Almighty is the cause of the lack of miracles in our lives? When we find God lacking instead of seeing our own failure and need to repent we miss who God really is and what He wants to do. Jesus was God coming down to us on eye level, showing us that God is the God of miracles.

C.S. Lewis - Screwtape Letters

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 15 Mar 2025 00:12:00 -0500

A summary of C.S. Lewis' book Screwtape Letters. Have you ever thought, "There might be demons assigned to me?" In the same way, God has angels assigned to help us; the devil has demons assigned to us to pull us away from the Lord and what we are called to do. Screwtape Letters is the conversation between two demons working to draw a new believer away from God, and it's not exactly what you think. Some tactics of the devil are more "ordinary" than you would think. We must understand the enemy's scheme to defeat him.

C.S. Lewis' First and Second Things

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:22:00 -0500

If you put what is second before what is first, you lose both first and second. Second things do not have the strength to hold up things in life as first things do. Second things are temporal; they are what we can see. First things are what is unseen and what holds everything together. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. -Matthew 6:33

The Perfume Bottle

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 19:07:00 -0600

Are you giving Jesus what He truly desires? Simon, the Pharisee, gave Jesus a meal and a seat at his table—an honor probably not given to most. But a sinful woman interrupted Simon's dinner to kiss Jesus' feet. She wept as she kissed His feet and poured out perfume. She gave Jesus all of her love in front of everyone. She laid her heart bare, hoping Jesus would not turn her away. The woman with the perfume bottle gave Jesus everything.

Believe the Love

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 09:09:00 -0600

Are you the one whom Jesus loves? Do you believe that Jesus loves you more than everyone else? It sounds arrogant even to think that way but God is love. You can look for love and miss it. You can try to do things to get God to love you, but what does the Word say to do? In 1 John 4:16, it says, "to BELIEVE the love that God has for us." Even if you don't yet feel the love, believe the love and abide in the love of God. You have a responsibility to believe God loves you because it is true. God's love is more true than anything else in this world.

The Art of Defer

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 15 Feb 2025 21:09:00 -0600

What is the art of deferring? It is one of the highest forms of love. Have you ever tried to out-love God, yielding to Him in such a way because you know He will give you more back in return? It is the volley of love; the back and forth is never meant to end. It is only meant to grow. Happy Valentine's Day!

Love Is Blind

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 22:10:00 -0600

It is okay to experience a period in your life where you are blinded by love. Love has passion, and God intended it to be that way. Love is not logical but full of emotion. Don't let things get too serious; find good love.

The For or Against Paradox (Group Discussion)

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 21:09:00 -0600

Does Jesus treat critics and spectators differently than participants? To a novice casting out demons, Jesus says, "For whoever is not against us is for us." - Mark 9:40. But to the Pharisees being critical of Him delivering a man who was blind and mute, He says, "Whoever is not with me is against me" - Matthew 12:30. Don't run or pick sides between Biblical truth that seems to contradict each other. Contradicting truths are two rails on a train track that keep the train from derailing at speed.

The "If He Is Not Against Me..." Principle

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 17:15:00 -0600

We live in deceptive times, but the LOVE of TRUTH keeps us out of deception. So, the truth of God's Word sets us free, but what do you do when there are two conflicting truths in the Word? Jesus said, "For whoever is not against us is for us." - Mark 9:40 and "Whoever is not with me is against me" - Matthew 12:30. Which statement is true? Or if they are both true, how do you follow both principles?

Praying for Results

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:12:00 -0600

Should you evaluate your prayer life by the answers you receive? In almost every other area of life, we measure our effectiveness by the results. Why don't we do the same in our prayer life? Is God just the god of no? Or are we missing something on our end? When our prayers aren't answered, something is wrong. We must go to God until we receive a clear answer. We must come to believe that God hears every prayer, and that He answers every time.

A Prayer Experiment

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 13:11:00 -0600

Even the scientific community has evidence of the differing results between people who pray and people who don't. Have you ever thought about what you choose to cover in prayer and the things you don't? Our fixes to the situation never work as well as praying through the situation. The Almighty is more mighty than us in our own strength. For 2025, do a prayer experiment. See what changes when you make God number 1, when you bring him into every area of your life.

Prayer Strategies for the New Year

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 07:07:00 -0600

Group discussion on the ability to turn something in prayer.
Prayer is not wishful thinking, and neither should it be random. There are not times it works, and times it doesn't. Prayer is meant to take a situation that would have gone down bad and with God's warning ahead of time, turn it for good. In short, prayer is meant to change things. We have the authority to bring God's Will into situations.

The Awesomeness of the Presence of God

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 19:07:00 -0600

This year, a human craft traveled closer to the sun than ever before in history. Certain precautions were taken to ensure the craft's survival, much like Moses and the children of Israel experienced God’s glory at Mount Sinai. There is a certain awesomeness to God's presence and voice that we should not take lightly. Just as many engineers and scientists dedicated their lives to a closer glimpse of the sun, we should give our lives to the pursuit of God's glory.

7 Ways to Gauge the Peace in Your Life

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:22:00 -0600

What is peace? The cross is the place where Jesus brought peace to the earth. Believers should have a foundational internal peace. Not having peace is a warning sign there are areas you need to work out with God. Jesus blessed the peacemakers. We should have enough internal peace that it brings external peace to other people. The devil markets a false peace, a peace among people without God's Lordship. God's peace is not peace at all cost. It does not come from compromise; it comes from Godly conflict. Peace is a prince, the person of Jesus. When you speak His Name, it brings Peace.

Contentment Promotes

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 17:05:00 -0600

Blessings are meant to overtake you. When from the Lord, they come from behind and overtake you. If you chase the blessings instead of God, they will forever be like a carrot on a stick. God truly wants to satisfy in a way things and people cannot. True satisfaction is in the world we can't see. What we can see—the temporal world—can never satisfy the way God can. True contentment moves you from stage to stage with promotion and satisfaction. Contentment is a learned trait.

Stages of Contentment

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 23:11:00 -0600

Do you have satisfaction and security in life? If not, don't worry; contentment is learned. Life is not meant to always be striving but never arriving. God wants us to find contentment in every season of life. He has joy for us in every area if we don't allow frustration. A truly satisfied Christian is free to be who God called them to be.

Cloy

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 16:04:00 -0600

Cloy, the test of indulgence. The one test that has yet to be passed. The Solomon test. God lives in the land of indulgence...but He can't let us go there because of what we would do with it. Surprisingly, more people pass the Job test than pass the Solomon test. But God wants to be able to trust us with goodness, not control us with punishment. His heart is to give us the desires of our heart, but there is one step before that can become a reality. Lordship.

Risk Assessment of Yourself!

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 13:11:00 -0600

Six times in the gospels, it says if you try to keep your life, you will lose it. If you hold onto your life and live without any risk towards God, you will lose it. But if you lose your soulish life, for God's sake, you will gain life. Our trust test in life is whether we are going to live for our own interests or our Master's. Make peace with the uncomfortable feeling of risk. God took a risk and trusted us. Will we return the favor and risk it all for Him?

The Faith of Pocahontas

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:05:00 -0600

This is the story of Pocahontas and her conversation to Christianity. Even though Jamestown struggled because of its lack of commitment to God, Pocahontas was a gift, a heritage from the Lord that Jamestown did not deserve.

Info Is Ammo Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 16:44:00 -0600

Are there times you should use info as ammo? Having information about someone is having leverage, but can you be trusted with it? Are you using info for judgment or to bring mercy? God wants to trust you with both natural and supernatural information, but what will you do with the information you have been given?

Info Is Ammo Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 12:12:00 -0600

Info is what everyone wants to know, but as believers, we mostly share information when we shouldn't and don't share when we should. Information is valuable and powerful. With the right information, you can bring healing, or you can destroy someone's life. It all depends on your heart.

The Discernment of Good and Evil

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 10:10:00 -0600

If you are going to understand good, you must understand the author of everything good. When you get around the character of God, you get around His goodness. But God has an opposite. Lucifer. God and the devil will never change their character, but our lives are in the balance. We are good to the measure we mirror our Creator. Many in the church have accepted the goodness of God but never have rejected the evil of the devil. We have become neutral towards evil and thus become deceived. Hebrews 5:14 tells us, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." We must not mix good and evil. Truly, our hearts are either seeking the goodness of God or the selfishness of evil.

Do Demons Transfer At Funerals?

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:11:00 -0500

If demon spirits need a body, where do they go when people die? According to Luke 11:24-26, demons are always looking for somewhere to go. If demonic spirits are truly on the move, we must be armored up and walking in our authority as believers.

Spells

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 17:05:00 -0500

What is a spell? Have you ever been under a spell? Spells work to try and take over your thinking and personality completely. They can come over someone quickly, but thank the Lord, they can also be cast off quickly. God doesn't want us to be defiled by witchcraft. He wants to destroy all our witchcraft, as is says in Micah 5:12.

Life is Sacred

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 16:04:00 -0500

What does it mean to keep life sacred? Some hard-to-understand passages in the OT are best understood as Keeping Life Sacred. In a secular world, there is meaning that is being overlooked and trampled down. This lesson will give you 10 areas of life to see if you keep these areas sacred.

Controllers and Those They Control

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 23:11:00 -0500

As believers, it is vital that we see that controllers are attracted to those who have God's call on their lives. We can find comfort in being controlled, but when we do that, we are laying down the responsibility God has given us. When the enemy sends manipulators into our lives, it is by design to pull us away from our relationship with the Lord and keep us from completing our calling.

There Is A Difference Between Being Better and Being Free

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 19:07:00 -0500

You are either working on your image as a Christian, or you are serious about getting free. A good image will not save you, but crying out to Jesus will. Have you clearly won your war and are free? Or are you just sinning less than last week? There is a difference between being better and being free.

A Man is Respected By the Amount of Conflict He Has Withstood

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 21:09:00 -0500

Have you ever realized we follow people based on the amount of conflict they have successfully been through? Each of us is judged by how much conflict we handle. We choose our path based on the amount of conflict we are willing to go into with the Lord. The more conflict, the shorter the path to the destination.

Confrontation is Good

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 11:11:00 -0500

Are you missing out on good in your life because you refuse to confront? In the church world, we act as if it's "humility" to avoid conflict. But in Matthew 18 Jesus clearly tells us how to confront our brother. Truly the ones we love the most, we will confront the most. Biblical confrontation is not selfish it is an art to be learned. Confrontation is a partnership with Word to save a brother's life.

The Lesson of the Grapes - Tested By Goodness

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 14 Sep 2024 23:11:00 -0500

What is ours by promise is not always ours by experience. We are often too stubborn to receive the promise of God's goodness. All the children of Israel that God delivered out of Egypt were promised the Promise Land but only two entered. Only Joshua and Caleb had the courage and were able to enter in. Good truly tests us more than evil. And a lot, if not all of what God promises you, you must fight to possess. The harvest and entering the Promise Land is a lot of hard work.

Do You Understand The Importance Of Precedents

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 14:22:00 -0500

The past sets the standard for the future. God sets a standard through history for the next generation to build upon. We live in times where everything in the world is trying to tear down past precedents instead of building upon them. Precedence is what we are judged by, but it is also a ladder that takes us to the next level. It makes you responsible to past miracles that God wants and wills to do through your life today. We must mix faith with precedence to pull down the reality that with God all things are possible.

Does Everyone Work Around You? Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 22:10:00 -0500

It takes true wisdom to work around people who are only about themselves, people who are in the flesh. Abigail chose to act even though by the definition of the roles she should have "submitted." In today's world what we call submission is our excuse for doing nothing; God is calling us to act. Abigail acted and even prophesied to David before he was king to keep things from ending badly. True submission has strength and courage to it. It is not weakness masquerading as a virtue.

Are You A Work-Around Flesh Person? Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 23:11:00 -0500

Are people who care about you having to work around your flesh? Are you having to work around other people's flesh? Nabal, Abigail's husband is the definition of a flesh workaround. Abigail understood Godly submission is to God and HIs Will first, and then to the leadership over us. If someone in leadership makes disastrous mistakes and we do nothing because we are "submitting," we are in trouble because we see the problem and do nothing.

The Dangers of Suffering Teaching

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 19:07:00 -0500

When we take what the enemy is doing and put God's name on it, that is suffering teaching. There is a type of suffering that is biblical and there is a type of suffering that is non-biblical. When we intentionally suffer to further the gospel or die to our flesh to get a breakthrough in prayer, that is Godly suffering. But suffering from the enemy: stealing, killing, and destroying is not of God. God is always working to protect us and save us. He never works to harm us.

The Purpose of Prophecy is Change

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 20:08:00 -0500

Prophecy opens you up to see what you are not seeing—especially what you don't want to see. God's correction is a deep form of love. It is truly a sign God is your Father. But we must sustain the change God is doing in our hearts. Only dead things refuse to grow. The Word of God is living and active and meant to change us into a different man.

The Power Of Our Testimony

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 23:44:00 -0500

A testimony is not how much we can suffer in life. A testimony is when you overcome the test by the Blood of the Lamb. It's when God comes in, takes your story, and gives meaning to it. Your testimony is evidence to the world that a living God exists.

Sour Grapes And The Laugh Of Faith

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 00:12:00 -0500

You can still choose to believe God even if things haven't gone down right in the past. A lot of times things that we view as "out of reach" we deem as sour and undesirable not truly knowing what God has for us on the other side. It is more difficult to face the truth after the fact but if you keep loving the truth it will always set you free.

How To Stop An Active Curse Spoken Against You

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 23:11:00 -0500

A lot of Christians have never been taught what to do about a curse. There was a curse put on the presidents of the United States back in the 1840s. From then forward every twenty years or so a president would die. President Reagan was the first to miraculously escape with his life. The praying Church was able to pull down the curse. We also must be able to pull down the occult curses spoken over our lives. God has given us the power to break any type of curse and keep it from coming to pass.

The Word In You Is Under Attack

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 19:07:00 -0500

When the Word is sown Satan, the enemy, immediately comes to steal the Word. As soon as God shows you something new in the Bible it will come under attack. Don't be ignorant, be prepared. Even though the attack will come the Word says we can extinguish all the arrows from the enemy.

Does Crying Out Work If You Don't Do It?

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 19:07:00 -0500

Crying out, does it work if you don't do it? When things go down, and your house starts falling apart, we look for someone to blame. We often blame God or blame the teaching. But in Matthew 7, what does Jesus say is the real reason people's houses fall?

The Emotional Side of Crying Out

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 23 Jun 2024 19:07:00 -0500

How much dignity are you willing to lose to get heaven's attention? It is easy to count what we might lose if we sold out to God, but it is only when we lose ourselves in crying out to God that we begin to see what God is truly trying to give us.

Crying Out When The Battle Chooses You

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 16 Jun 2024 19:07:00 -0500

Before you rise - you must go down to your knees. Sometimes in life, the battle chooses you, or you receive a report you never would have expected. David and his mighty men had their women and children stolen from them. David's own men were ready to stone him, but David cried out to the Lord. Nothing can’t be changed when you cry out to God with everything in you.

Crying Out In How To Respond To A Storm

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 09 Jun 2024 19:07:00 -0500

A storm is something that affects more than just you. This is your response to a storm. It is not being stoic, not being reserved, and not being in control; it is being so desperate that you let go of everything to get to God. It is a reset button. Our cry to God is our acknowledgment that only God can help. (Group discussion at the end)

Crying Out Is My Secret to Power in Prayer

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 02 Jun 2024 19:07:00 -0500

(From a Zoom meeting in 2020) Is there a way to immediately get God's attention when you are in dire need? It is not passive praying. It will take you far from your comfort zone into the secret place between you and God alone.

How Is Your Receiver?

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 26 May 2024 19:07:00 -0500

Is there a block in your receiver? God can be completely good and full of blessings but if we are not receiving from Him it won't do us any good. And worse yet, if we do not have a character of God worked out we will receive more of what the enemy is saying than what God is saying.

The Coming Of Pentecost Shavuot

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 19 May 2024 07:07:00 -0500

Have you experienced the advantage Holy Spirit? We all as believers have been promised the Holy Spirit but has the promise become reality in your life? The Holy Spirit is the person that makes all the difference in our lives. Peter went from being so afraid he denied Jesus to a servant girl on the night of the crucifixion but after Pentecost, Peter was a changed man. He now had the boldness to call the city of Jerusalem to repentance.

Clogs In The Pipeline To Healing

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 13 May 2024 23:11:00 -0500

Is there a clog in your pipeline to God? Some people say it's not always God's will to heal...but don't get into verbal religious garbage. God has answers to whatever we face, but the way to get healed might be a little different than what you are expecting. God has a way to get the clogs out of your pipeline.

Corrie Ten Boom’s Legacy

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 06 May 2024 19:07:00 -0500

Corrie Ten Boom was put into a concentration camp at the age of 52 for hiding Jews in her home in Holland. She was released from the camp because of a clerical error weeks before her age group was scheduled to be terminated. Her ministry began after her release. The Lord had an exciting life for her into her 90s.

Compulsive Voice of Disparaging Yourself

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 20:08:00 -0500

Every leader who has accomplished great things for the Lord has come under this attack. Many throughout history even believed God was the one putting it on them, but it is not true. Disparagement is a demonic attack, and one we must overcome.

Living Until The Assignment Is Done

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 20:08:00 -0500

While we wonder if God's promises will come to pass in our lives, God wonders if we will pull down the fullness of what He has promised for our generation and the next. God’s view is different. Even when we have won many battles, God is looking at the territories yet to be taken. Most of our promises from the Lord are unattained, unoccupied, and not enjoyed. Once we’ve won our battles and defeated our enemies, there will be peace in the land.

When You Get An Assignment Which Goes Against Your Nature

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 14:22:00 -0500

From the story of Deborah, Barak, and Yael. The battle you are in must be won in the heavens before it can be won on the earth. The problem we have today is that the heavens are warring but the men of earth, the believers, have refused to join the fight. The "humility" that leads to inaction is a sin. Just like with Yael, the battle has entered our tent. Will the men and women of God have the courage to fight? For when we fight it makes for peace in the land.

Living A No Fear Life

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 06 Apr 2024 16:44:00 -0500

Have you ever had a single day in your life without fear? Can you picture your life without fear? God commands us not to fear.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. -Psalm 34:4
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9.
When God gives us a command to do something, He always gives us the power to accomplish it.

The Superiority of Jesus

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 31 Mar 2024 05:05:00 -0500

Christianity is not a religion, it is an adoption. It is meeting Someone who changes your life forever. It is meeting your true Father.

From The Shepherd's Field To The Assignments

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 11:11:00 -0500

What is your assignment? What is God sending you out to do? God gives every one of us assignments. Gideon was working to keep his people's food from the enemy, but then God called him a "mighty warrior," and told him to tear down his father's idols. At first, the assignments are broad and for every believer. But when you are faithful with the broad assignments, then God will trust you with specific assignments. Then He will send you on assignments that only you have the training to accomplish.

David's Shepherd Field: Preparation For The Assignment

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 15:33:00 -0500

Many are called but few are chosen. - Matthew 22:14. Could it be that many are called by God but few go through the training? Our training is in some way more important than the assignment because without the training we would fail in what the Lord is giving us to complete. It is what we learn on the shepherd's field that prepares us for the battlefield.

Taste Tester - How Does The Word Taste To You?

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:04:00 -0600

How does the Word taste, to you? Does the Word taste like medicine? Does the Word taste bland? Or does the Word taste like honey?

The Lord's Prayer And How Prayer And Fasting Has Changed History

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 19:07:00 -0600

The pages of history are rewritten when believers fast and pray. This week we discuss 4 examples of when Derek Prince fasted and prayed and major world events were changed. Now is the time to fast and pray for our nation and the nations around the world.

Revelation of Mercy

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 19:07:00 -0600

The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies cover all His works. —Psalm 145:9. Isn't it great to know that if it doesn't have mercy on it it's not from God? Mercy is the way God spares us and mercy is the way God exposes us. In God, mercy and truth are perfectly married to one another.

Love Covers And Love Uncovers

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 23:35:00 -0600

Happy Valentine’s! Love doesn't let us get away with sin because it is the mercy of God that we get caught. Love exposes us so our sins can be forgiven but love also covers to protect us when we are weak. How do you know which side to choose? Ask Love.

Blessed To Be A Blessing - September 2006

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 23:11:00 -0600

God told Abraham He was going to bless his life to make him a blessing. God will bless you in a way that you understand only to call you into a life you have no understanding of. Jesus took Peter, a fisherman, and gave him more fish than he could ever imagine and then called him into a life he would have never imagined.

Porous - Picking Up Your Environment

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 19:07:00 -0600

Spending time with God should cause you to think differently than everyone else. When we are porous to the environment around us we take in what everyone else is thinking but we have no power to change what people are thinking. So when we face problems God's thinking must be rooted deep in us or we will get the same results as everyone else.

Point of Contact

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 19:07:00 -0600

Many Christians believe that God has the power to heal but He's not always willing. But God would rather us doubt His ability to heal than His willingness. If the life of Jesus showed us anything, it is that Jesus healed every person that came to Him. If the disconnect is not on God's end what is the point of contact we could be missing?

Persistent Faith - End-Times Series

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 13 Jan 2024 16:44:46 -0600

Is God telling you no? Is He ignoring your urgent request? Maybe, or He might be trying to provoke faith out of you so you can have what you are asking for.

Renounce, Renounce, Renounce

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 07:07:00 -0600

Demons leave when we speak the name of Jesus, but you cannot rebuke something someone has willfully agreed with. Past agreements made apart from God must be renounced. If repenting shuts an open door, renouncing locks the door. When we have used our authority to make agreements with the enemy, we must use our authority to break those agreements.

Faith For Delays

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 27 Dec 2023 19:07:00 -0600

Is there a delay? Are you waiting for an answer from on High? What are you doing in the delay? Is your faith persistent or casual? Don't let your faith run low when the answer is taking longer than you expect. Most of all don't let delays change who you know God to be. In the delay something is being built deep in you.

Does He Test or Does He Not Test?

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 11:11:00 -0600

Does God test us? James 1:13 says, "Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God" for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." But in John 6:5-6 Jesus says to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat? But He was saying this only to test him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do." So does God test us? Or maybe the better question is how does God test us?

Reject Rejection

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 23:11:00 -0600

Do you need healing at the root of where you were rejected? King David did not lose the kingdom for adultery, but King Saul had the kingdom ripped from him for his need of approval. Rejection breeds rejection. Even though we feel rejected, it is our attitude, our need for approval, that is causing us to be rejected.

Personal Inner Strength: Whether You Succeed or Fail

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 21:09:00 -0600

What is in man that causes him to not just survive but to overcome? It is not what happens to you but what is inside you that matters. The life of Joseph is the perfect example of Personal Inner Strength.

Do You Compare Yourself To Others?

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 16:44:00 -0600

How does comparison work for you? In Genesis 1:31, God said, "God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good." Self-comparison is a trap. It doesn't matter if you come up with reasons you are better than others or are worse off than others; either way, it is a trap.

Grates and Ingrates - Thanksgiving

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 11:11:00 -0600

A teaching from 2016 - Gratitude cures 90% of spiritual ills but being ungrateful causes some problems. "I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling drunkenness, or any taint of vice whose strong corruption inhabits our frail blood...Ingratitude is monstrous; and for the multitude to be ungrateful, were to make a monster of the multitude." - William Shakespeare.

The Good News And The Good Report

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 19 Nov 2023 22:10:00 -0600

The gospel is Good News. God came to give us an abundant life, a life beyond our wildest dreams that continues all of our days into eternity. But we cannot make the same mistake as the children of Israel. They got themselves into trouble by not believing the good report they were given about the Promise Land.

Deaf Sheep Part 2 - The Shepherd's Voice or The Stranger's Voice

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 16:04:00 -0600

Are you hearing multiple voices? It's not as big of a problem as you think. The real problem is when you don't know the difference between the Shepherd's voice and the stranger's voice.

Deaf Sheep Part 1 - Hearing God's Voice

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 16:04:00 -0600

There are churches today that don't have the revelation you can hear God speak…BUT God never intended for there to be deaf sheep. God gave us ears so that we can hear HIS voice.

RECALL: You Must Be Able To Defeat This Spirit!

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 05 Nov 2023 01:11:00 -0500

If your training left this out. If this wasn't part of your discipleship. There is one vital piece of discipleship you missed to be successful when you launch into ministry. There is one specific attack you must overcome before you will be given the nations.

Witchcraft Is Cheating On God

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 20:58:00 -0500

A Biblical perspective on witchcraft. Mixing power sources gets us mixed up. Keep things simple and pure in your relationship with the Lord.

Making Contact With Witchcraft

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 10:10:00 -0500

Have you made contact or connected with witchcraft? If you have the calling of God on your life, witchcraft will be sent to try and stop what the Lord has begun. We must find a way to defeat it.

The Stages of Armoring Up

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 13:11:00 -0500

In a world of powerless Christians when we put on the armor of God and walk in our God given authority, we become powerful against the forces of evil in a way the world does not understand.

Worst Possible Decisions

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 17:55:00 -0500

Are you anointed by God when the pressure is on? Or do you have a tendency to start making not-so-good decisions...? If the Lord is with you things will work better than you could imagine but if you get into control and fear, things come out worse than you could dream.

Sweet Sleep and Sweet Dreams

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 08:08:00 -0500

One-third of your life is sleep. Is it sweet? “When you lie down, you will not be afraid, when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet” -Proverbs 3:24. Throughout history and in the Bible God speaks to people through dreams. Don't think that God only wants to speak to you during daytime hours.

Help! My Head Is Spinning Part 3

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 07:19:00 -0500

When your head is spinning and you don't feel like you can pray...CRY OUT TO THE LORD! With everything in you cry out to God.

Help! My Head Is Spinning Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 21:09:00 -0500

Do you just want out of the pain or do you really want God? Many things in life ease the pain but if they aren't God...they can make things far worse. We must choose to want God more than we want our immediate problem fixed.

Help! My Head Is Spinning Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 12 Sep 2023 14:22:00 -0500

When your head is spinning: find the root, renounce, repent, and face a lot of reality.

Tribute to Malou - The Difference of One Life

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 17:05:00 -0500

The story of best friends and where it all started.

Good Won't Get You Healed Or Saved

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 23:11:00 -0500

If being good doesn't get you healed, what does? Is it how big the need is? Or Is it how much we beg God? What is it that truly moves God?

Stand Up And Walk Out Of It

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 17:05:00 -0500

There are times in life when God speaks something so important we must listen. Listening to God and choosing to obey gives us the power to walk out of the impossible problems. With God, you always have a choice, even when it feels like you have no choice.

Cause The Gentiles To Blaspheme

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 11:11:00 -0500

Why does God care about how His Name is spoken of? "Wherever they went among the nations, they profaned my holy name...I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone." -Ezekiel 36:20-21. Why does God care? Why would He care about what the other nations think of His name?

Discussion: Lose Self and Like Self

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 23:11:00 -0500

The Bible tells us to lose ourselves, to die to ourselves...AND to love ourselves. Is the Bible contradicting itself? What are we to do towards our SELF?

Learning to Like Yourself

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:49:00 -0500

Are you giving God only the things you don't like about yourself? It is not much of a gift if you only give what you dislike. God likes the things about you that are the most likable, that is why he gave them to you.

SELF in the Last Days

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 17:15:00 -0500

Everything has become about self, self, self...but nobody's self has become better. At least six times in the gospels, Jesus tells us to lose ourselves, deny ourselves, take up our cross, etc. Why does Jesus say this? We must know the difference between "love your neighbor as yourself" and "in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self..."

Help! My Son Is in a Relationship with Jezebel!

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 08:50:23 -0500

Jezebel has the men under a spell. And many of them are so blind they can't tell, so their mothers begin to yell. Renouncing is the only thing that will get them well.

Ministry Time With Steph After Authority Over Emotions Teaching

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 02:22:00 -0500

Authority Over Emotions

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 01:11:00 -0500

When you are in a downward spiral, a spin, and it feels like there is nothing you can do to pull up. That is emotional spiritual warfare. When your emotions refuse to tell you the truth. What can you do to pull out of it? Has God given us authority over our emotions?

What is an Emotion? (with discussion)

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0500

What is a feeling? Where do emotions come from? From the thoughts you think or from your heart? And finally, can anything be done when they go crazy?

Dormant Traps & 5th Column Attacks

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 23:11:00 -0500

A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within. Similarly, the enemy has dormant traps in each one of our lives...waiting within to bring destruction when we least expect. But when we are shown the trap we are no longer in harms way. When it is brought to light it no longer has power over us.

The Path of a Thought

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 23:31:00 -0500

The great thought divide. We need to think about...what we are thinking about. Most people think "their thoughts" all originate with them without even considering what the enemy is sending. When we truly begin to get well is when we are able to divide our thoughts from the enemy's thoughts.

Delivered From Traps

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 11:11:00 -0500

If you aren't recognizing traps in your life you probably aren't applying the Promises in the Word. Our eyes need to be wide open for where the enemy is looking to trap us. It really seems that when the Lord anoints you traps from the enemy are soon to follow. And that is exactly why God's promises are there. So we can be delivered from the traps.

Promises for Traps

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 11:11:00 -0500

Are you awake? Aware? The enemy is after you. You are his personal target. Many times people think they are just stumbling through life without realizing they are under direct attack from the enemy. The enemy has a person vendetta against every believer and it take God's Promises to defeat him.

God is in Control: The Sovereignty of God & Man's Mid-Management

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 23:11:00 -0500

God placed the earth under mankind's care and mankind under His care. We are God's middle management, HIs stewards of the earth. We live in a world where our management over it matters.

David & Goliath - An Overcoming Life

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 04 Jun 2023 16:44:00 -0500

There are two types of Christians: King Sauls and King Davids. Have you been an overcomer throughout your life or just for a moment? The story of David and Goliath screams that one man can truly make a difference.

Walking in the Holy Spirit

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 28 May 2023 19:07:00 -0500

The most dangerous prayer you can pray is "God I want everything you've got!"

7 Hindrances of Healing

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 22 May 2023 10:10:00 -0500

If it is always God's will to heal, what are some of the reasons we are not seeing more healing?

God's Will to Heal You!

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 15 May 2023 09:09:00 -0500

Is it God's Will to heal every time? Is the ball in our court or God's when it comes to healing?

Check Your Spirit to Hear

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 07 May 2023 23:11:00 -0500

Life is not always what we perceive. Our emotions and even eyes can deceive us, but you can always take a moment to check your Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into all truth.

I Love To Be Corrected!

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 23:11:00 -0500

Jesus disciplines/corrects those He loves BUT do you love the correction He gives? Life and our relationships are all about who we give permission to correct us and who we love enough to correct.

Doing Your First Deliverance

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 13:11:00 -0500

Setting your first captive free. If you don't go through deliverance or do deliverance, as the Bible says, you will be powerless in your ministry. "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed....to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound."

Don’t Let It Stand Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 23:11:00 -0500

Do you let bad decisions and agreements stand? Our words and agreements and the words and agreements of those we lead matter. Leaders have the privilege and authority to cover those they lead by not letting their bad decisions stand.

Don’t Let It Stand Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 11:11:00 -0500

Have you ever made a promise of commitment and wish you hadn't? Numbers 30:4 gives those in authority the ability to not let the words and decisions of those under him stand. But if the father says nothing the bad decision stands. If we hold a place of authority we must know how to forbid.

The Binding of Isaac

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 03:33:00 -0500

Why did the Lord ask Abraham to give up the son that was most precious to him? And what is the Lord asking of us?

How The Devil Gets You Out Of Ministry

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 10:10:00 -0500

If you are in ministry, you are a target for the enemy.

Willing To Be Fools For Christ

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 01 Apr 2023 00:12:00 -0500

Are you willing to be a fool for Christ?

Why Does Everyone Get Miracles But Me?

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 19:47:00 -0500

Are you asking yourself the hard questions? Are miracles not happening because of God…or because of us? There are so many promises God has given, but they remained unclaimed, unused. Only an unoffended heart can find them.

No Faith, Little Faith, or Great Faith?

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 19:07:00 -0500

God Weaves for Good

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 05:55:00 -0500

What satan means for evil and harm, God weaves for good. God's will is not automatically happening on the earth, but when we partner with Him, He weaves even the most terrible things for good.

Reprisal Attacks in Everyday Ministry

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 12 Mar 2023 21:09:00 -0500

Victory is not automatic when the enemy attacks. The Lord has put weapons and tools in our hands to win the battle every time but it is up to us to use those weapons until we see the enemy defeated.

Esther, The Feast of Purim

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 13:44:00 -0600

The feast of Purim started in 480 B.C. When you look through history you see the same spirits and evil at work to destroy God's people. What Esther and her people went through has striking similarities to the Jews in WWII. God's will prevails when His people choose courage in the face of impossibilities.

Having Roots in Yourself

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 15:33:00 -0600

What causes some people to make it in ministry and others to not? "The one sown with seed on the rocky places, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution occurs because of the word, immediately he falls away." - Matthew 13:20-21. Do you have a firm root in yourself? Do you have personal inner strength?

The Power of the Name of Jesus

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 09:30:00 -0600

It is all in the name! Speaking the name of Jesus changes everything. Because of the power in the name of Jesus, the enemy is working to silence believers from speaking His name.

Divine Restraints & the Believer's Authority

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 16 Feb 2023 17:55:00 -0600

Bless Francis Myles for God revealing restraining orders to him. There is a defensive aspect to restraints. It gives the believer protection, and the concept of restraints protects our authority.

At some point, most people ask themselves why there was a tree in the garden that God had forbidden. God’s restraint allows us to have authority in the earth when we honor it with our obedience. For years we studied this concept in the form of forbidden areas but found it much more understandable when it is as simple as “restraints give us protection!”

Proper Domains and Revilings

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 23:11:00 -0600

Are you reviling the enemy or taking authority over the enemy? They are two very different things. One is done out of the flesh and one is done with the power of God’s Spirit.

Vibrant, Not Boring Prayer Life

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 05:55:00 -0600

It's dangerous to think your prayers are not being answered. Prayer is meant to be effective and powerful, never boring or stale. Prayer is what brings life, authority, and excitement to our lives.

Shoo The Vultures

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 23:22:28 -0600

Does God defend the promise He speaks over our lives? Does God ensure what He speaks comes about regardless of what the enemy does? Can God's Word be twisted or invalidated even? There is a part we play in hearing and protecting the Word of God.

How to Pray For the Fear of The Lord to Come

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 23:11:00 -0600

The blessing of the fear of the Lord: fear of the Lord creates a boundary between those who belong to the Lord and the wicked. God's presence is love to those that love Him but terror to those who are His enemies. Download fear of the Lord Scriptures at www.crosslines.net

JOY

A first-of-the-year Sunday morning group discussion on joy.

10 Of The Most Important Days In American History

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 25 Dec 2022 16:44:00 -0600

The story of George Washington having the resolve to face impossible odds as America was being founded.

One Very Important Christmas Night In American History

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 24 Dec 2022 15:33:00 -0600

The story of George Washington and his troops facing impossible odds in the dead of winter.

The Power of Agreement

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 14:42:37 -0600

The lessons the Lord teaches you when a witch is trying to make your life considerably shorter.

The Struggle of Hearing God's Voice

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 30 Nov 2022 16:00:49 -0600

We want God to speak to us, but it is easy to move or be pressured into making decisions before He speaks. How many of us are willing to struggle and contend until we hear from God? Do we truly value what He has to say above all other voices in our lives?

The Frivolous, Indulgent Side of God - Thanksgiving

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 19:52:02 -0600

How much is too much? How much does God really want to give? Is God withholding from us or are we limiting Him?

The Thoughts We Receive

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 12:44:09 -0600

What thoughts are you receiving? It is said that people have anywhere from 6,000 to 60,000 thoughts in a day, most of them repetitive. Are you answering the thoughts the enemy sends?

The Difference Between Praying and Commanding

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 20:37:33 -0500

Jesus prayed during the night and commanded during the day. Most of the time, we as believers pray to God but never command. Praying and commanding is the key to doing what Jesus did on the earth.

Levels of Lordship

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 07:07:00 -0500

The secret to selling out with the Lord.

Blame Creates Victims

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 08 Oct 2022 20:31:44 -0500

Who is to blame? God? The devil? Us? Or are we even asking the right question?

Offense vs Defense With Your Past

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 11:32:02 -0500

Beautiful teaching of Jesus' response to two sinners. Have you survived your past? Or are you playing offense with the testimony God has given you? Some of us are forever playing defense, hoping to hold the ground we have. Jesus has a way of taking our area of weakness and making it a place of authority.

Overcoming Fear

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 08:45:06 -0500

How do you get fear out of your life? Knowing about the topic doesn't win you any points. There is an environment of fear in the world around us and we have to learn to overcome it. Even in this day and age, you can live your life without fear.

Decisions When You Don't Think You Have a Choice

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 07:07:00 -0500

When the pressure is on and a decision needs to be made, we tell ourselves there is only one bad option. Abraham did something similar. When there was a famine in the land he went south without consulting God.

The Gift of A Sound Mind

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 06 Sep 2022 07:07:00 -0500

The true test of whether you have a sound mind or not is insane times. Everyone's mind is calm when the circumstances in the world around them are calm. But how sound is your mind in the world we currently live in?

Mindsets

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:07:00 -0500

God is always working to change us. Are you allowing God to change you? To correct you?

The Sin of Omission

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 07:07:00 -0500

To who much has been given much is expected.

Psalm 91 Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 14 Aug 2022 21:36:08 -0500

The time for Psalm 91 is right now! It is the chapter to be declaring over yourself and your family every day as things in the world become more intense. Listen to the testimonies of how God protects over and over again.

Psalm 91 Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 08 Aug 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Don't Ignore Satan, Resist Him!

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 05 Aug 2022 13:01:21 -0500

The enemy cannot be ignored. WE MUST RESIST WITH THE WORD. When we ignore the enemy it gives him the signal to keep shooting arrows our way. But when we stand and resist using God’s Word it sends the enemy running the other way.

Daniel Part 3

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 08:08:00 -0500

Many people who should be picking up their swords have instead picked up their wine glasses and are avoiding the calling God has put on their life. The writing is on the wall. The greatest problem God might have with us is not what we are doing wrong but the sin of omission; we aren’t doing anything for God at all.

Daniel Part 2 (Short Version)

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Pride = Insanity. Pride is a false reality where we convince ourselves we are responsible for the blessings that come from God. It took a lot for Nebuchadnezzar to repent of his pride and turn to God. Are we any different? Do things have to get worse before we decide to turn back to God?

Daniel Part 2 (Long Version)

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Daniel Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Daniel is the end-times book in the Bible before Revelation. Importantly, these books tell us what to do and what is going to happen when the world goes crazy. Nations and cities have a choice to do life like Babylon or like Jerusalem. Babylon tries to brainwash you and Jerusalem is a people that live in relationship with God by their convictions.

Patriotism

Angelia Ruth — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Patriotism is a love that God created. In the same way that we love the city we grew up in or the college we attended, we should have a love for our nation and our way of life. When generations lose their love of country, it is the beginning of the end. When you love something, you must fight to save it.

The Power of the Age to Come Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Are you using your "ask" with the Lord? There are people with no faith in life, people with just enough faith, and people who risk everything. Which one are you? If you don't have daring faith, crazy faith, are you really pleasing God? Are you tapping into the power of the age to come?

The Power of the Age to Come Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Do we get in trouble when we ask too little of God? Jesus told Peter he had little faith when he walked on the sea and sank. If walking on water is little faith, what does Jesus think of the risk we are taking? Could there be things God is wanting to give us that we haven’t even thought to ask for?

7 Biblical Reasons People Go Home Early

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 07:07:00 -0500

A preventative look at Biblical reasons why people might die early. Jesus’ intent is for us to live a long full life, to the point He raises people from the dead. God actually intended us to live forever in the garden and never die.

Keeping Your Deliverance

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 06 Jun 2022 07:11:02 -0500

Deliverance is for normal people. It is routine care for believers. Jesus likened it to giving water to your animals. It should be a part of the normal Christian life. Not just for the crazy ones like the demoniac but for every believer.

The Window of Repentance

Angelia Ruth — Tue, 31 May 2022 07:07:00 -0500

There are windows of time for repentance. It's as if sins build up, reaching a full measure, and our window for repentance comes before our sins drown us. Repentance is our hope, allowing us to opt-out of what we deserve, especially in these end times.

Don't Blame God

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 23 May 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Every temptation that we face works to make us question the character of God. The enemy is trying to discredit God in our eyes, working to skew our view of Him. The devil tries to manipulate the core of who we are to think that God doesn’t have our best interest at heart. But maturity comes when we realize God was always doing what was best for us.

Authority Over Lion Attacks

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 16 May 2022 07:07:00 -0500

How are you supposed to survive a lion attack? You are supposed to live, and the lion...is not. We are to have authority when the enemy attacks like a lion. Authority is not based on what God will or will not do, it is based on what we do with the authority God has given us.

Overcoming vs Surviving the Book of Revelation

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 09 May 2022 07:07:00 -0500

A completely different way of looking at the book of Revelation.

The Theology of Submitting to the Government Part 2 - Romans 13

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 30 Apr 2022 23:10:42 -0500

Does Romans 13 mean what everyone seems to think it means? Are Christians to blindly submit to governmental authorities? Or is government a gift from God that only works when a nation's government is submitted to God?

The Theology of Submitting to the Government Part 1 - Romans 13

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 15:49:03 -0500

The Blood Stands Between You And The Death Angel

Angelia Ruth — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 22:22:24 -0500

The only thing that stands between us and death is the blood.

The Fear of the Lord Makes You Unafraid of Man

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 07:07:00 -0500

The fear of the Lord is the starting point for life. It teaches us right from wrong and sets our foundation. The absence of the fear of the Lord will allow evil to continue unchecked, but the fruit of fearing God is that you are unafraid of man.

How the Right Perspective Prepares You for Unstable Times

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 28 Mar 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Our perspective is the angle from which you see the world. How well you do in life or during difficult times is determined by your perspective. Reality can actually be changed if you change how you see.

How to Shock the Shock Out of the Generation

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Some people can’t see and others don’t want to see. If you can see it, it is easy to be shocked by what you do see — and that other people are not seeing it. Evil shocks you into being inactive, but the power of God shocks you into taking ground for His kingdom.

The Generation of Shock

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 07:07:00 -0500

Shock numbs you to accept the insanity going on in the world. It is the video that plays over and over in your mind without permission. It tries to cripple you into doing nothing when you have a short window of time to react and stop evil.

Esther: Prophetically Examining the Spirit of Witchcraft

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 16 Mar 2022 19:44:00 -0500

Haman’s history with the Jews started long before Esther, but did “his son’s” future continue long after Hamon met the gallows? The Bible has a way of speaking throughout all of history.

Jezebel and Her Enablers

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 17:33:17 -0500

The woman that everyone loves to hate; the woman no one stands up to. Elijah ran, the church at Thyatira tolerated her, and the church today ignore the problem. What responsibility do we have to handle the spirit of Jezebel?

Is War Non-Christian? Part 2

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 07:07:00 -0600

Joshua had 31 victories when fighting to claim the Promise Land. Does the Lord tell him, “good job" or does God confront with what is left undone? It is the battles that we refuse to take on, the assignments that are left halfway done, that get us and future generations in trouble.

Is War Non-Christian? Part 1

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 07:07:00 -0600

What does Jesus say about war? Is He anti-war or is the New Testament against war? What does the Bible say? Can we as believers handle what is going on in the world with spiritual warfare?

How “Compassion” Leads to Bewitchment

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 17:39:35 -0600

What on earth is happening that so many people are under a spell? And how can having good intentions and soulish compassion be wrong? So many people are being lead astray that the world no longer seems to know right from wrong or love from hate. And how do you keep from becoming charmed into bewitchment?

The Emotional Side of the Storm

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 07:07:00 -0600

Storing up food, having a place for your family to shelter, and being able to defend yourself can help you prepare, but it is not enough. It is like having really great equipment but never being trained to face the reality of war. We have to learn to face our spiritual battles now and learn how the enemy manipulates our emotions if we hope to overcome as things speed up.

Have you ever wondered why it doesn't go well for people when they mock God? Mocking God is a sensitive issue that people are doing more and more. How can God be completely loving, yet people's lives end so badly when they mock Him?

The End According to Jesus

What does Jesus say the End will look like? There will be an increase of knowledge but a decrease in peace. There will be wars and rumors of wars. Ethnic groups will rise against other ethnic groups. These will be the birth pains of the end-times.

Why Fast?

Angelia Ruth — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 16:17:59 -0600

Fasting is the thing that no one's flesh wants to do, but it is the thing that gives you the most breakthrough. Fasting is not just not eating. It is spending the time you would be feeding your flesh seeking God. The tide of history has been turned when God’s people fast and pray.

Feelings Must Not Take The Lead

Injecting the Strength of the Lord

The devil attacks you on your worst day. Your family, your friends, the people that you are leading can all turn on you when things start going bad.

Ahaz, The Story Behind Isaiah’s Christmas Prophecy - Stand Firm in Your Faith

Angelia Ruth — Sat, 25 Dec 2021 07:32:17 -0600

The story behind the Isaiah's prophecy about Jesus being born... We live increasingly in a time when believers who do not stand firm in their faith will not stand at all. The world is searching for what a man fully committed to God looks like when most people have pushed God into the background of their lives.

Wind in the Mouth of Prophets

Angelia Ruth — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 15:48:47 -0600

God starts and moves things with His wind. His wind is the transportation department of Heaven coming from the north, south, east and west, each wind having a distinct purpose on the earth. What is the wind doing? What direction is it blowing from? How is God moving His people in the times we are living in?

The Devil's Bargain

The world as we have known it is not the same and the needs of this hour should be pulling on every believer. There is a contention happening over our nation and we have a part to play. The devil has tried to make it look as if there are only bad options. What kind of action does the Lord want from us in this season?

Every Christian I've spoken with recently is under attack. Do you have a plan to guard yourself against the enemy's attacks? Don't be spiritually unprepared for the battle at your doorstep. By faith, armor up with the protection found in Ephesians 6. And more than that, have a plan to go on the offensive. It is time to win personal battles and take ground from the enemy and his kingdom.

Is God in Control?

Angelia Ruth — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 23:01:51 -0500

Is God really in control of everything? Is He responsible for untimely deaths and tragedies? Do we have to wait until heaven to understand why some people go home early? Or are these things we tell ourselves to find relief when our world is going crazy? At some point, we have all asked these questions but have you ever really searched out the answer?

Distinctions

Have you felt the shift? There has been a shift in the judgment and justice of God and He is drawing a line. Which side are you going to fall on... and those you love? God is making distinctions.
