No Going Back (7) : Do Not Be Tricked
The devil doesn't have the authority and power he used to have since Jesus stripped him of it. There is a power he maintains though and that is the power of deception. Which is nothing to be afraid of, but we need to be prepared to resist. We resist deception by knowing and loving the Truth. Hallelujah! Jesus IS the Truth . .

No Going Back (6) : Faith Holds On
Faith believes that what God is going to do is greater than what I'm leaving behind, and is willing to Act on that belief. That act of faith can be completely contrary to the relationships of your past or experience in the present. Opposition to the will of God for your life will always come. What do you do when difficulties come or you don't yet see what God promised you? Faith Holds On. It is time for Patience to kick in, for all the promises of God come through faith AND patience. Hallelujah!

No Going Back (5) : Faith in God's Plan
As believers we need to be fully convinced that what God has promised us is greater and better in every way than what we left behind to follow Christ. Because that's the truth! Hebrews 11:1 tells us, "Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of things not seen." So faith is simply an assurance and a conviction. Hope is what we look forward to in God as revealed by His Word. Faith always chooses God's plan, God's way . .

No Going Back (3) : No Place to Repent
Scripture tells us to behold both God's kindness and severity. Because of varying reasons we oftentimes only like to consider God's kindness, but beholding both is integral to a balanced spiritual growth and knowing God as He really is. There is a difference between the penalty of sin and the consequence of sin. We can be forgiven of the penalty in Christ Jesus, but we must also be responsible for our actions. It is better not to make room for sin in the first place . .

No Going Back (4) : Convinced of Good
Jesus told us to remember the example of Lot's wife, who in the midst of being delivered turned back to Sodom that she loved and never went forward again. She thought her greatest good was her old life she was leaving back in Sodom. Faith doesn't look back - faith looks forward to the good Ģod has planned for your future. The road will not always be easy, but God promised it would be worth it . .

No Going Back (2) : Remember Lot’s Wife
One of the easiest things to do as a young believer is to go back to old sins you are familiar with. They don't have to be sex drugs and rock-and-roll, they just gotta be things you do that don't have God's approval. If you know it's wrong in your heart and you see it plainly in the Word, but you still have a part of you that wants to do it - that doesn't mean you weren't saved. It means you're human. If you're never tempted you're just not being honest. Temptation is not sin. It is only sin if you give in . .

No Going Back (1) : Love God More Than
One of the constant temptations of this life for the believer in Christ is to go back to living like before you got saved. To return to the life of sin where you could do whatever you want with no accountability, no restraint. Resisting that temptation can be an every day test. What will keep us from going back? Loving God more than we love anything else. Specifically loving God more than we love what we want. We can do it, with a little faith and the grace of God . .

Restoring the Years (8) : Visible Witness
Did you know that when God restores you, He likes to do it in such a way that everybody can See it! Oh yeah. God likes making His people demonstrations of His power and love. Because He wants everybody else to experience His goodness too. Don't brag and boast about YOU - but yes, be unashamed to brag and boast about God's Goodness in your life. The goodness of God is your life is a visible witness . .

Restoring the Years (7) : Prisoners of Hope
If the devil has been able to destroy or steal something in your life, his next strategy is to keep you thinking about that loss so you stay depressed upset and bothered. Which only keeps you from receiving the Restoration God has for you! In Christ you have Hope, something good to look forward to from God. If you have God on your side you are not a prisoner of the past - you are a Prisoner of Hope! And your future really is very bright . .

Restoring the Years (6) : One For One
The restoration of God comes to us in different degrees. We have been looking at these degrees from the bottom-up, from the lowest level to the highest. One of the simplest forms of restoration is one-for-one. If something of yours that God wants you to have was stolen or lost or destroyed - you can trust God to Restore it to you. You can get it back or God will give you another of the same. And for that we are grateful . .

Have you ever experienced loss or damage or persecution for the Word's sake? Or for doing what's right? Or for the name of Jesus? Well have I got some good news for you. What was done to you by them is not greater than what God is about to do for you! Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against a spiritual adversary who has already been defeated. It is part of the Justice of God to provide Restoration and recovery, restitution and repayment to His people for all the devil's cruelties. Hallelujah!

Restoring the Years (4) : What You Should Have
To God restoration is not about what you have - it is about what you should have. It is not about what you can do presently, it is about what you should be able to do in Christ. When it comes to God's promises concerning restoration, it doesn't matter what it costs God to get it to you. All that was paid in full by Christ Jesus. The only thing that matters is should you have it, is it promised in the Word. There are some things in this life that are just yours and you should not go without them . .

Restoring the Years (3) : What You Never Had
The restoration God has made available to His people is so great it is difficult to quantify. It reaches into "the eternal purpose" of God separate from the effects of sin - things that God had ordained for you from before you were born and last long after this life is over. It doesn't matter what you don't have or can't do, it only matters what God has planned for you to have and do. HIS PERFECT PLAN is what God wants to restore you to . .

Restoring the Years (2) : From Our Own Mistakes
Have you ever disobeyed God so much or messed things up so badly in your life that you seemed unable to escape calamity. If you have, you are not alone. The people of Israel did that too. But God didn't leave them there. He promised that if they would repent and return to Him, He would restore to them the years the enemy had destroyed. The very years their own disobedience had cost them out of the will of God. O, the MERCY of God!

The Catching Away (5) : The Restrainer
Why must the Bride of Christ depart from the earth before the Antichrist can be revealed? Because the Holy Spirit through the Ecclesia [Church] IS the restraining influence of God in the earth. 2 Thessalonians 2 calls the Restrainer both a He and an It. He being the Holy Spirit, It being the Ecclesia. When the Bride of Christ is removed from the midst, the AntiChrist will rise up and ride forward as the Rider on the White Horse . .

The Catching Away (4) : Apostasia Before Antichrist
Even though no one knows the day or hour of the Catching Away of the Bride of Christ, the Bible tells us what events will immediately follow that event. From a very plain, straightforward reading of 2 Thessalonians 2, we can see a Departure happens before Antichrist is revealed. Some have said this was a departure from the faith, but the context of the word being used tells us what the departure is about. The Departure of the Saints in the Rapture!

The Catching Away (3) : The Lord's Day
Jesus isn't coming back to take sides - Jesus is coming to take over. He's not coming returning to be made King - He's King already. He's just coming back. The Day Jesus both takes His authority as King and takes His wife to be married is a big day for Him. You might call that "The Lord's Day" . .

The Catching Away (2) : Blood, Wrath and Dinner Guests
It may be surprising to you, but the Bible makes it clear through multiple Scriptures that the Rapture is not for believers [generally] but for the overcomers [specifically]. Many will make it to Heaven, but few will be the Bride of Christ. God really does have this whole thing worked out. There is the Bridegroom, a Bride, dinner guests and even servants. We really do have so much to be Thankful for and so much to look forward to . .

The Catching Away (1) : Door in the Heavens
The idea of a Door is used repeatedly in multiple Scriptures regarding the Rapture. What is a door. Certainly it is a literal entrance from one space to another. But figuratively the word is used also as an opportunity. When Jesus comes in the Rapture it is going to be an opportunity you do not want to miss out on. And Jesus was talking to Believers when He said it, because the Rapture is not for believers generally. The Rapture is for the overcomers specifically . .

The Keys of The Kingdom (14) : The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail
The powers of darkness is not comparable to the Kingdom of Light. In the Scripture gates were the place where the authorities of cities met, like our modern day town halls or mayor's offices. Jesus showed us just how far the Ecclesia's authority could operate. Even the gates of Hell. Or even as many Old Testament blessings started, the gates of your enemies. So if the enemy tries to step up on your own territory, don't wonder if you have the right in Christ to run him out . .

The Keys of The Kingdom (13) : Keys in Operation
Jesus has delegated His authority to the Ecclesia, the Church, in His Name. It is by the Name of Jesus that we actively use the Keys of Authority and Access Christ has given us. There is no better example of binding and loosing than Jesus Himself . .

The Keys of The Kingdom (12) : Enforcing God's Judgments
There is a conformity to God's perfect will in Heaven that believers are responsible for enforcing and influencing in the earth. Jesus told us that in using the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven we would be binding things that were already bound in Heaven and loosing things that were already loosed in Heaven. God will not do for us what He has delegated for us to do. That's why there is accountability, that's why there is Reward . .

The Keys of The Kingdom (11) : The Restrainer
Christ Jesus demonstrated power and authority while in His 3 1/2 year ministry. When He left, He gave that same power and authority to the Ecclesia, the Church to operate in His absence. Part of our job is to restrain the forces of evil by the Holy Spirit through our prayer praise thanksgiving and worship. Faith doesn't just release God, it restrains evil. Because evil won't restrain itself . .

The Keys of The Kingdom (10) : ACCESS
Christ gave the Ecclesia (the Church) the keys of the kingdom of heaven for the purpose of binding and loosing. We might say binding evil and loosing or releasing good. But you cannot release God's goodness in the earth if you yourself have no access to His goodness. In Christ we have full and free access to God's goodness and His Throne of mercy and grace. Most Christians have no idea the goodness they have access to in His Kingdom, if they would just regularly approach His Throne . .
