JAKE STIMPSON | VICTORY | HEART | OFFENSE | JOHN THE BAPTIST | OFFENDED | FREEDOM
“The world is a magical place full of people waiting to be offended by something.” It’s a great line from a meme that’s been circulating for a while now. Offense has the potential to lodge in your heart and derail you in your walk with God. So what do we do? How do we walk free from offense? The answers are probably simpler than you expect.
JAKE STIMPSON | VICTORY | HEART | HARDNESS | PHARISEES | CALLOUSED
The Bible tells us about a group of Jews who loved God and were devoted to His Word. They were concerned about the increasing worldliness around them. They refused to compromise on the truth and were committed to holy living. And yet, when Jesus came, they were the most antagonistic toward Him, to the point of even making plans to murder Him. These were the Pharisees. What happened to cause these God-fearing people to turn against Jesus? Their hearts had grown hard. If it happened to them, it could happen to us too. We must remain on guard to keep our hearts soft.
JAKE STIMPSON | VICTORY | HEART | DISCOURAGEMENT | COURAGE | FEAR
The Proverbs advise us, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Prov 4:23) If your heart is good, everything that comes out of you will be good. If there is a problem in your heart, no matter how much good God tries to do for you, all you’ll see is problems. A key to victory in life is guarding our hearts. And what’s one of the most dangerous tools the Enemy uses to get into our hearts? Discouragement.
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | VICTORY | UNFORGIVENESS | RESENTMENT | BITTERNESS
Someone once said “Unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die.” The Bible is clear that unforgiveness brings torment, gives the Enemy a foothold in your life, defiles you and everyone around you, and blocks God’s forgiveness in your life. But when you forgive, you get set free!
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | VICTORY | REPENTANCE | SIN | HOLINESS | FAITH
How do you win in spiritual warfare? The path to victory is not as complicated or esoteric as you may think. It begins with simple repentance of sin and turning to Jesus in faith. Sin is not just about breaking some arbitrary rule – it has a disastrous effect on all areas of our lives – so until you turn from it, you will not find the freedom you long for.
JAKE STIMPSON | FATHERS | FATHERHOOD | 1 CORINTHIANS 4 | MASCULINITY | FAMILY | DISCIPLESHIP
Billy Graham once stated, “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.” Fatherhood and Godly masculinity are under attack in our day, yet time and again, the real-world numbers declare the same story, that fathers make a difference. Whether you are currently a father, used to be, or never will be, our world is desperate for men and women, leaders, and fathers who are not just filling a role but who have the heart of a real father.
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | DEMONS | DEVIL | DELIVERANCE | EVIL SPIRITS | FREEDOM
You can be free! To Western ears, the idea of demons influencing us, even residing within us, sounds equal parts lunacy, heresy, and horror film. Yet this is the clear picture we see in the Bible, that evil spirits can influence our minds, our hearts, and even our bodies. If you’re not experiencing the abundant life that Jesus promised, it could be a demon has made your body its home. It’s time to unmask the work of the Enemy and just get set free!
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | DEMONS | DEVIL | DELIVERANCE | EVIL SPIRITS
“We live in a perpetual battlefield. The wars among the nations on earth are mere pop-gun affairs compared to the fierceness of battle in the spiritual unseen world.” – Billy Graham. Though it sounds odd to our Western ears, the New Testament shows that this spiritual war is very real. Jesus and the early church lived with the knowledge that demons were actively working to oppose the Kingdom of God, and because of that knowledge, they overcame. What are demons? What do they do? How can we too overcome?
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | POWER | AUTHORITY | DEMONS | DEVIL | DELIVERANCE
Luke 9:1-2 – “And Jesus called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.” Though we have an Enemy who is out to steal, kill, and destroy, we have nothing to fear because Jesus has given us power and authority over him. The same authority Jesus demonstrated in confronting demonic powers and delivering the tormented, we have.
JAKE STIMPSON | SPIRITUAL WARFARE | SATAN | VICTORY | THE CROSS | POWER | AUTHORITY | DEMONS | LEGION
“What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!” – Luke 4:36. Our Enemy, Satan, is strong, he’s deceptive, he’s manipulative. He knows us better than we know ourselves… What hope do we have against so savage a foe? Jesus. In His life, He demonstrated complete and total authority over the power of the Enemy. Even the fiercest of demonic infestations were made to bow in submission before Him.
