One of the most important weapons that I have found for protection against demonic spirits in the home is the anointing oil. Upon arriving at Bethel Colony of Mercy on January 1, 1984 from Columbia Graduate School of Bible and Missions in Columbia, S.C., I was ready to proclaim the Gospel to alcoholics and drug… Read More »Anointing Your Home With Oil
Frustration is one of the most prevalent feelings that gives place to negative emotions and behavior. All of us give place to this emotion at times. If we are not on guard concerning the emotion of frustration, it can produce strife and anger. “As coals to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a… Read More »The Strongman of Frustration
In the past I have written articles on The Disappearance of True Repentance, Repentance Unto Salvation, and Repentance and Cleansing. In this article I will be focusing on the practice of repentance by the spirit of habitual repentance. In my experience the most prevalent reason for failure in a believer’s life is the neglect of… Read More »Habitual Repentance
This is the third Counseling Corner written on repentance. I want to speak of the importance of the need for a full examination of one’s sin after he has made a profession of faith. Asking forgiveness for one’s sins against God and entering into the new birth (II Corinthians 5:17) is a wonderful experience. But,… Read More »Repentance and Cleansing
Over the years I have seen many make professions of faith, but not all of these that professed sorrow over their sins had a heart to forsake their sins.

One of the unclean spirits that we deal with is the spirit of bondage as men and women who come under the power of addiction have given place to this spirit. They have violated the clear imperative of the Scriptures; “…nor give place to the devil”, in Ephesians 4:27. Sadly, many are trying to help… Read More »The Spirit of Bondage
As I think of all the heartache that evolves when a member of one’s family goes out on the limb of substance abuse, it is overwhelming. If the loved one has left the way of the Lord and has gone the way of folly, it is only a matter of time, for the seed of… Read More »The Burden of A Heavy Heart
In dealing with people who have issues, I am reminded of the Scripture; “These people draw near to Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And, in vain they worship Me….” Matthew 15:8-9. There is a pretension that all is well with the Lord while… Read More »The Peril of Complacency
