Much of today’s Church is masked, in fear that something is “out there lurking,” while oblivious of their identity and delegated authority, and blatant denial or prideful dismissal of hypocritically masked carnal appetites Holy Spirit seeks permission to help crucify. As we yield daily in true repentance, masks are lifted to reveal eye-opening Truth. Through constant communion in Abiding Presence we relinquish the right to prodigally do as we please, and grant Him permission to help crucify appetites that’ve stamped a visible watermark. Otherwise, the realm of darkness appeals to appetites and inclinations, entices “WHEN moments,” and tempts us to trespass the line of demarcation into sin. As we welcome Presence to rest upon, to stir Presence within, carnal appetites lose their appeal as Christ is progressively formed in us and we embrace Jesus’ co-missioned compelling Christ Mandate to present a Kingdom response to all matters, and carry, discern, release and convey Presence in our homes, workplace and marketplace. Jesus was only “tested” in all matters as we, in thought, yet the Masked Church has traditionally considered everything temptation based on our inclination to sin. Jesus had no such inclination because of kratos strength He’d developed to initially resist temptation with the Word, then totally avoid temptation with an Empowered Immunity upon presentation as Christ. Where there’s no appetite and subsequently no inclination, there’s no temptation, only tests! Through watching and praying in Abiding Presence, kratos progressively develops Jesus’ Resurrection Immunity to carnal appetites and temptation. Come join the lifelong journey to live in constant communion with Holy Spirit and put your soul and flesh in subjection to your spirit. Just as Jesus didn’t select a single disciple from among the religiously masked of His day, neither will He return for a hypocritically Masked Church in the Rapture.

It has always been the subject of my attention as to why bad things always happen to good people. Or why is it that innocent people are the ones that always get hurt? Or why is it that evil or evilness always seems to overshadow good or goodness? What calls my attention even more is how individuals, families, nations, and even ministries can be victims of an atmosphere of reoccurring negative events in their lives in which they are unable to give any logical explanations for. It’s as if they were fighting against an invisible force that’s opposing all their attempts to move forward in their lives. What spirit force is behind all these evil and unjust happenings that are occurring around our world? What is this spirit that leaves in its wake a trail of pain, hurt, and destruction? The spiritual force behind all these inexplicable atrocities has a name and it is called the spirit of injustice, the truth never before revealed behind the struggles we have to face daily. The assignment of this evil spirit is to cause opposition and difficulties in the lives of people. Here you will find out how to identify this evil spirit of injustice, how it operates, what strategies it uses to attack us, and how it can infiltrate our lives, families, and nations. You will learn how to break off with cycles of injustice in your life, how to come out victorious from its attacks, and how to activate God’s blessings over your life. You will also learn how to reaffirm your true identity as a child of God and start seeing yourself according to the parameters of God’s kingdom and not as your surroundings and circumstances dictate them to you. Our target is to unmask this evil spirit that has been doing warfare against God’s people for centuries. It is our greatest desire that you can reach the fulfillment of your purpose that God has prepared for you from before the foundation of the world.

Have you had your feelings hurt? Or maybe, you have hurt someone's feelings. This should come as no surprise as God's Word tells us in Luke 17:1 that "It is impossible that no offenses should come." In this bold biblical-based Bible study, the truth that God's people are ripping each other apart by their words and actions will be clear. But don't stop there: the encouraging word is that we do not have to stay this way. Whether we are doing the offending or we are the offended, we are walking away with hurts no Band-Aid can fix. Dena's heart's desire is that through the power of God's Word and the healing only Jesus can bring, we will not only be healed but learn how to do things differently. Her hope is that we will learn not to take things personally and yet keep our sensitivity. God thinks very highly of His children. She wants you to know how valued you are in the Kingdom. We have a role in God's plan. But we are too busy licking our wounds and out of hurt, inflicting hurt on each other. We have to get our focus back on our purpose. God created us in His image (Gen. 1:27), which is love. However, somewhere in our journey we have begun to devour like the enemy (1 Pet. 5:8). Through this twelve-week study, you will reconnect with the Savior and begin to allow the brick wall to come down that over time has grown to protect your heart. God will show you that the wall of protecting only imprisons. Allow yourself to be free!

A daily devotional/study for Lent on the subject and the experience of temptation. Daily reflections on the hard school of temptation, based on Scriptures, inspired by the Lenten experience of a Benedictine monastic community. Each day’s reflection includes a quotation taken from two works of the German pastor and theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945): a series of lectures given on the creation and fall of Adam and Eve; and a six-day Bible study on the theme of temptation, given by Bonhoeffer during a retreat with former students of his “underground” seminary in Nazi Germany.
