Does Satan Have a Key to Your Mind? The Truth About Spiritual Privacy

Does Satan Know our Thoughts? I remember the smell of stale coffee and the sound of cards riffling through experienced fingers. Years ago, long before I was pouring out rocks of revelation on the podcast, I spent a lot of time at the card table. I wasn't just playing the game; I was studying the people. I figured out early on that human beings have "tells." If a guy hit his straight flush, the very first thing he would do—almost like a reflex—was glance down at his chips and then immediately look away. He was already doing the math, wondering how much he could bleed from the rest of the table. Or I’d watch how they held their cards. Most people naturally organize their hand from largest to smallest, usually keeping the big cards on the left. If you just watched their eyes and their hands, you didn't need to be a psychic to know exactly what they were holding. Many of you come to me with a heavy burden, a nagging fear that the enemy is sitting right inside your head,...

Activating Kingdom Seekers: Knowing the Way of God More Perfectly

Do You Know the Author? I was sitting there with my coffee, the steam rising in the morning light, listening to the pings on my phone. It was my missionary friends over on Voxer. We were deep in a conversation about evangelism—real, boots-on-the-ground evangelism. One of them was talking about the struggle we all face when we’re out there in the "Bible Belt." You know the scene. You approach someone to talk about the radical, life-changing power of Jesus, and before you can even finish your sentence, they put up a hand. "Oh, I already did the prayer," they say. They’ve got their "fire insurance" tucked away in a mental drawer, but there’s no fire in their eyes. There’s no hunger for the presence of God. It’s like they’ve checked a box and then wa lked away from the very Person the box was supposed to connect them to. This is the pain point of modern Christianity. We have millions of people who have "confessed with their mouth" but have never bee...

The Power of His Presence: A 5-Part Journey into Presence Evangelism

  Presence Evangelism: Power Encounter Series Introduction I was sitting in a parking lot in Florida, and my stomach was churning with acid. I didn't want to go inside that church. To be honest, I was struggling. I had been on my knees every morning, seeking God, and He kept giving me these prophetic confirmations to go to Florida. I was even doing Gideon-type testing—putting out fleeces because I knew that going would bring friction. I had a list of all these confirmations, and I knew that if I didn't walk through those doors, I would be in flat-out disobedience. You see, many of us feel that same knot in our stomach when we think about sharing our faith. We’ve been told we need a graduate degree in theology or a 501c3 before we can tell our neighbor about Jesus. We’ve been trained to think that evangelism is a series of intellectual arguments or a scripted sales pitch. We have the cure for eternity, yet we feel paralyzed. This is the great disconnect: we know the Word, but...
