The Lord warns deception in the last days will cause believers to depart from the faith through false teachings, deceiving spirits, and doctrines of devils. Brother Duane teaches how to safeguard ourselves against this deception through the fear of the Lord. This fear enables us to discern and resist evil and ultimately thrive in wisdom and righteousness. The fear of the Lord is reverential and empowers us, compared to the debilitating fear of man. Many misconceptions about fear exist, such as the idea that misfortune is always self-inflicted. The story of Job is a great example of how to worship God even when our friends have misguided judgments. A lifestyle of true worship nurtures a relationship with God anchored in reverence and obedience. It is a safeguard against deception and an example that integrity can be maintained even through life's fiercest storms.

According to 1 Timothy chapter 4, believers will depart from their faith due to deceiving spirits and the doctrines of devils in the later days. Brother Duane teaches that God has provided Safeguards Against Deception to protect believers so they will be able to stand firm in their beliefs. Today, our lack of reverence is leading to a crisis of equity and justice. Believers should seek God's judgment and mercy with a righteous heart. They should promote unity rather than division and distinguish between the fear that imprisons and the reverential fear that empowers.

After accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, the next step is to become a mature believer. Duane Sheriff teaches there are three cooperative powers - hope, love, and patience - that, when combined with faith, will help us become a mature believer and be a blessing to others.

According to Ephesians 2:8, we are saved by grace through faith. Duane Sheriff teaches that faith toward God is the second foundational truth or elementary principle of the Doctrine of Christ. Faith is our response to the God of grace. Faith is how we access grace and how we receive God's blessings and love.

What Now? Your "born again" spirit is not a baby, but your understanding and experience in applying the word of God is that of a child. Duane Sheriff teaches six fundamental principles that must be understood to transition from a convert to a disciple of Jesus. Faith in God is one of these elementary principles essential to the Christian faith.

How do we safeguard against deception and the departure from faith when we are bombarded by deceiving spirits and doctrines of devils? Brother Duane teaches that God's voice is not hidden. The language of God's Kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy. A distinction can be made between the 'voice of the lamb,' which guides us toward recognizing our blessings, and the 'voice of the dragon,' which promotes negativity and unthankfulness. Learn to recognize divine whispers amidst life's noise.

Before accepting Christ and becoming "born again," the power of sin enslaved us. Duane Sheriff teaches the importance of repentance. After we become "born again" and accept Christ as our savior, we may be tempted to sin, but we are no longer a slave to sin. The power of grace is greater and releases us from the power of sin.

Duane Sheriff teaches that to mature spiritually, we must apply six elementary principles that lay a foundation. One of these principles is repentance from dead works. Repentance means to change your mind and change your direction. Some examples of dead works include self-righteousness, sins of our flesh, and religious works.

Duane Sheriff teaches that four major food groups help a convert mature into a disciple. The first food group is the Apostles' Creed, which trains a believer in their new identity in Christ. The second food group is fellowship, which builds faith when believers share who they are in Christ. The third food group is breaking bread, which involves sharing a meal with others and building intimacy. The last major food group is prayer. Different kinds of prayers are effective for different situations.

The Lord's spiritual diet consists of four spiritual food groups that can help us grow and mature spiritually in our faith. These groups are the apostle's doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. Duane Sheriff explains that the apostle's doctrine refers to the scripture that is inspired by God. It is beneficial for teaching, correcting, reproving, and instructing in righteousness.

When you are born again, your spirit man is united to Christ, but your understanding of Christ is as a newborn baby. Duane Sheriff teaches that the first step in figuring out "what now" is reading, studying, and meditating on the Bible. God's word is like nourishing food for your spirit, and it will help you gain a deeper understanding of Christ.

Today, we face the perils of deceptive narratives that hijack the true meaning of love and justice. Brother Duane teaches the importance of spiritual maturity, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the critical role of biblical teachings to discern the truth. Scriptures provide essential safeguards to equip our children and grandchildren with the armor of wisdom. The story of Samuel parallels our present-day challenges and the urgency to discern God's voice amid global concerns. It is vital to respond righteously and align with our divine purpose for a life of fulfillment and impact.

Our first birth is physically created by two flesh and blood parents. When you are born again, you experience a spiritual rebirth created by God, who is spirit. The new birth is made possible by the word of God, which is an incorruptible seed that will remain forever. The spirit part of you becomes born again and becomes "new" inside of you, righteous and holy.

What does it mean to be born again? Duane Sheriff shares his personal testimony when he accepted Christ at the age of seven. New believers are often faced without instruction on how to live their new life in Christ. They have many questions and little guidance, causing them to feel confused or revert to their former life before accepting Christ.

The New Testament warns against deception, which typically begins with questioning the authenticity of God's word, "Has God said?" Brother Duane teaches believers how to recognize the warning signs of deception, the importance of discerning truth, and the role of personal responsibility in guarding against deception. We cannot accurately distinguish between good and evil without God. In a culture that censors truth, turning to God's word as our ultimate guide is crucial.

Brother Duane explains the spiritual significance of foot washing and its cleansing power. This act by Jesus reveals profound love, humility, and forgiveness, even towards those who would betray him. By allowing Jesus to wash away our guilt and shame, we can forgive others as we are forgiven. We become clean through the finished work of Christ and can love one another as Jesus loved us.

Brother Duane explains the spiritual significance of foot washing and its cleansing power. This act by Jesus reveals profound love, humility, and forgiveness, even towards those who would betray him. By allowing Jesus to wash away our guilt and shame, we can forgive others as we are forgiven. We become clean through the finished work of Christ and can love one another as Jesus loved us.

Our faith will be tested. Trusting God in our problems will develop our maturity. Duane Sheriff encourages us to believe the Word of God and trust God when our faith is tested.

Brother Duane reveals the profound spiritual significance of foot washing, an act steeped in mystery and divine power. Jesus' ultimate sacrifice washes and cleanses us by the Word of God, and through Jesus' sacrifice, our deepest transgressions are pardoned, unveiling God's profound love for us.

Duane Sheriff reveals that it is possible to learn to stand firm in faith during difficult times by speaking to your mountains, circumstances, and emotions rather than allowing them to speak to you. Your faith is tested in difficult times, and we grow in our faith when facing and overcoming problems.

Duane Sheriff reviews the three cooperative powers of faith: hope, love, and patience. The testing of your faith in trials produces patience, and patience is what develops your character. The maturity of your character will help you endure in the days ahead.

Patience is vital to the answer of prayer manifesting in your life. Duane Sheriff encourages believers to know that through their faith and patience, they will inherit the promises of God. Something supernatural happens when you trust God, and a spiritual battle begins to test your faith to give up.

Patience is the third cooperative power in the ecosystem that operates in God's kind of faith. Duane Sheriff reveals that it takes patience to see the manifestation of our prayers. Often, when we pray, there is a battle between heaven and hell, and our weapon in this battle is our shield of faith. During that time, we can waiver, and our faith can be tested.

Duane Sheriff reveals that God loved us so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to bear our penalty for sin. Jesus bore God's wrath and punishment for our sins in his body on the Cross so we could be made righteous by his sacrifice. It is so important that we understand the beauty and simplicity of the Cross. It is the very foundation of our faith.

Duane Sheriff shares that God is love, so God loves everyone the same, and His love is unconditional. We should not judge God's love for us by our feelings or circumstances. We experience God's kind of love if we are born of God and know God. Therefore, you can be a Christian and not love. 

God is love. Love is the second cooperative power that works in the ecosystem of faith. Duane Sheriff shares the simplicity of love written by the Apostle Paul: to love, you must be born of God and know God. If you do not love, you do not know God. Duane says having faith is easy if you know how much God loves you.

Love is a cooperative power in the ecosystem of faith, and we are encouraged to be rooted and grounded in God's kind of love. Duane Sheriff examines scriptures on how we are to teach others how to love.

In the ecosystem of faith, three cooperative powers are interconnected: hope, love, and patience. Duane Sheriff helps us understand that our faith strengthens as we grow in our revelation of God's love for us. Love is who God is. We receive a knowledge of God's love for us through His word and the Holy Spirit, not by our feelings.

Even Abraham, the father of faith, lost hope. Duane Sheriff explains how to regain your hope. Do not consider yourself, your circumstances, or your mistakes. Give thanks and set your focus on the promises of God, who is faithful to accomplish all His promises.

Hope, love, and patience make up the ecosystem of faith. Duane Sheriff emphasizes the importance of hope and how hope is a powerful force in our lives. There is a battle for your hope. Losing hope can lead to a shipwreck of faith. Put your hope in the promises of God and not in the world.

Love, hope, and patience are principles connected in the ecosystem of faith. Duane Sheriff explores the importance of hope in our lives and that our hope should be in God. Abraham's life is an example of hope, and is considered the father of faith.

Have you ever wondered why faith is vital in our relationship with God? Duane Sheriff unravels this mystery together as we journey through the enlightening spiritual ecosystem of faith, hope, love, and patience. Discover how hope, even in the face of challenges, can fuel our faith and sustain our lives.

Duane Sheriff explains that there is an ecosystem of faith and how things are connected to your faith. There are laws and principles of faith. Your prayers will become more effective once you understand how these things are connected to your faith.

Brother Duane challenges you to awaken from the lies and deceit that pervade our world today and to prepare our hearts to seek the Lord. We reflect on how manipulation of the news media is overcharging our hearts, illustrating this with a shocking example of the New York Times article that nearly sparked World War III. Remember, not recognizing evil for what it is has dire consequences. So, let's learn how to love our enemies, call out evil, renew our minds with the Word of God, and prepare our hearts to seek the Lord.

True humility accepts that we are nothing without Christ, but through Christ, we are His workmanship. Duane Sheriff shares the four attributes of humility so we can judge our hearts. Without God: 1) we are nothing, 2) we have nothing, 3) we know nothing, 4) we can do nothing. All our abilities, talents, gifts, and blessings come from God. 

Through faith, grace is how we enter God's Kingdom and how we live in God's Kingdom. Grace is God's power to be who we are and God's power to do what we do. Grace is God's power in our human weakness. Duane Sheriff explains that it is our human weakness that keeps us humble and dependent on God. 

Why does God resist the proud? Pride was the original sin of Lucifer. Duane Sheriff contrasts the attributes of humility and the attributes of pride. Humility is God-centered and focuses on others, whereas pride is self-centered and focuses on self.

Grace is the power to do all God has called us to do. When we humble ourselves, we receive more of God's grace. But when pride is in our lives, God will resist us. Duane Sheriff contrasts humility and pride so we can experience God's grace.

Humility allows us to receive more grace in our lives, but pride can hinder grace in our lives. Duane Sheriff shares the attributes of humility and what humility looks like, as well as the attributes of grace and what grace looks like. Grace empowers us to be the salt of the world, the light of the world, and a blessing to everyone we know.

We are saved by grace through faith, and grace is a gift from God. Duane Sheriff shares the basics of grace, where to find grace, and when to find grace. Grace is God's power in human weakness and can only be found in a relationship with Jesus in our time of need.

Grace is God's power in human weakness. Grace is found in Jesus and a relationship with Jesus. Duane Sheriff teaches that overcoming today's sins, weaknesses, and addictions is impossible without Jesus.

The scripture in 1 John says that if we pray in accordance with God's will, He hears us. And if we know God hears us, then we know we have the petitions of our hearts have been granted. But how do we know what to pray for? According to Brother Duane, we need to learn to pray God's will, and God's will is His Word. When we pray in accordance with God's will, He takes pleasure in answering our prayers. This not only brings glory to Him but also serves as a testimony to non-believers.

Grace is God's power in our lives to become the children of God. By grace, we are saved through faith; it is the gift of God. Duane Sheriff explains that our work, effort, or self-righteousness can not save us. We must mix faith with the word of grace for God's power to be released in our lives.

Duane Sheriff received a calling from God when he was just seven years old. However, due to a family tragedy, he decided to go his own way until he had an open vision of the cross. Duane saw all of his sins being absorbed into the body of Jesus, dying with Him, being resurrected with him, ascending, and finally being seated at the right hand of God. This vision helps remind Duane to rely on Jesus - the Rock and not the pit he was in before the vision of the cross.

Duane Sheriff's testimony of his open vision of the cross inspires reliance on Jesus rather than the flesh. Four things we are not after the flesh: 1) Without Jesus, we can do nothing. 2) Without Him, we have nothing. 3) Without Him, we know nothing. 4) Without Him, we are nothing.

When you embrace Jesus - you embrace grace and truth. Grace makes us who we are in the Kingdom. Duane Sheriff teaches that Grace is the power of God to be all you were created to be and do all God has called you to do.

The basics of God's grace is vital to our walk with the Lord, understanding our salvation, and receiving all of God's promises. Duane Sheriff teaches foundational truths and the basics of grace to reveal the "amazing" in amazing grace. 

No matter how long we have had a relationship with the Lord, we can always grow in the area of prayer. In this message, Brother Duane shares the basics of prayer - why to pray, how to pray, and what to pray.

Although it is important to learn steps and principles in ministry, Duane Sheriff teaches that those principles should point you to a relationship with Jesus. Three rhythm of grace principles are: 1) learn to come unto Jesus, 2) learn to take His Yoke, and 3) learn of Him. When we develop disciplines that become a natural rhythm, ministry should come from a place of supernatural rest.

Through his personal testimony, Duane Sheriff shares how he developed an unforced rhythm of grace. And just like in physical activities, there is a muscle memory aspect to our spiritual journey with God. If we consistently and intentionally develop our muscle memory by walking with Christ, we will be prepared to respond to the enemy's attacks without having to think about it. To build our spiritual muscle memory, we come to Jesus, take His yoke, and learn of Him.

We were created to have fellowship with God. We fellowship with God through prayer. In this message, Brother Duane explores how to pray, what to pray, and why to pray. 

Both faith and unbelief have an attitude. An attitude is your perspective on how you think. Brother Duane contrasts the attitude of the Israelites versus the attitude of Joshua and Caleb.

In this message, Brother Duane reviews the five offenses that prevented the Israelites from entering the promised land. He encourages believers to avoid these offenses and to mix grace and faith, which gives them the power to overcome.

Murmuring and complaining is the voice of unbelief. In this message, Brother Duane shares several passages regarding the deadliness of murmuring and complaining. Murmuring and complaining is one of the five offenses. 

In this message, Brother Duane helps us to understand the deadliness and consequences of murmuring and complaining while sharing the benefits of a thankful heart.

According to the apostle Paul, marriage is a great mystery and refers to the husband as a type of Christ and the wife as a type of church or the bride of Christ. In this message, Brother Duane teaches that respect is important to a man and love is important to a woman. 

In this message, Brother Duane concludes the Better Together conference by explaining the contrast between a contract and a covenant, emphasizing the significance of a covenant relationship in marriage. While a contract protects our rights and limits our responsibilities, a covenant requires we give up our rights and increase our responsibilities. A covenant is a sacred oath before God, so we are no longer two but one flesh.

In this message, Brother Duane continues to review the differences between a man and a woman. It is through our differences that unity occurs in marriage, and we become one flesh that bears fruit. We also examine the top 5 reasons "why not" to get married.

When we do not understand the purpose of marriage, we can abuse, misuse, or frustrate marriage. In this message, Brother Duane shares the biblical purpose of marriage.

In this message, Brother Duane shares his personal experience regarding the top five reasons why people get married and then provides counterpoints with the top five reasons people should get married according to scripture.

In this message, Brother Duane answers the question of what is a man and what is a woman and describes how a man and woman together reflect the image of God. Marriage is spiritual and it is a type and shadow of the institution of Christ and His church.

In this message, Brother Duane explains how the heart can become overcharged and reveals that the heart is either full of thanksgiving or unbelief.

In this message, Brother Duane shares that our hearts are not built for worry, stress and anxiety. God has made your heart for truth. According to the biblical definition - the heart is a combination of the soul and spirit.

In this message, Brother Duane reviews each speaker during Jubilee and summarizes their message.

In this message, Brother Duane explains the three stages of raising our children and the importance of honor.

Watch Brother Duane continue teaching "What is Jubilee?" Jubilee is a time for gathering corporately and celebrating the goodness of God with a thankful heart. Duane Sheriff is the founding pastor and senior elder of Victory Life Church. His passion for sharing the truth of God’s word helps people develop a personal relationship with Jesus as they discover their identity to become all God created them to be. We hope Duane’s message has been a blessing to you.

In this message, Duane explains how the six pieces of God's armor are offensive weapons to counter Satan's weapons in the culture. The last piece of God's armor is the sword of the spirit. The sword of the spirit is the Word of God.

In this message, Duane addresses the fifth piece of God's armor- the helmet of salvation. The spiritual battle is won or lost in the battlefield of our mind. It is imperative to take our thoughts captive.

In this message, Duane continues to share that God has called us to engage in a spiritual battle. By putting on the six pieces of God's armor, we have the spiritual weapons to become the counterculture.

In this message, Duane discusses the next piece of the armor of God that is above all the other spiritual weapons -- the shield of faith. Understanding the basics of faith is vital in the spiritual battle.

We engage in spiritual warfare by putting on the armor of God, also called the armor of light. In this message, Duane explores the next piece of armor -- the gospel of peace.

At Jubilee, we set aside a week to celebrate and give thanks to the Lord.

In this message, Duane continues to share the six pieces of God's armor and highlights the breastplate of righteousness.

When you speak the truth, you become a target in a culture permeated with lies and deception. In this message, Duane explains the cultural battle taking place is God's definition of good versus man's definition of good. The second piece of armor is the breastplate of righteousness.

We engage in spiritual warfare by putting on the six pieces of armor. God's Word is Truth. By sharing the truth, we utilize the girdle of truth and become a counterculture to lies and deception.

In this message, Duane reviews the six pieces of armor God has provided that are our weapons in this spiritual battle. The six armor pieces are the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit.

In this message, Duane shares how God's Armor brings God's ability to every battle in our lives, but we do not fight against flesh and blood. The battle is spiritual, not physical. It is essential to understand and put on the Armor of God. The six pieces of armor are the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is God's Word.

Darkness is excelling due to the church's lack of awareness regarding the ongoing spiritual battle. In this episode, Duane sheds light on the fact that we are engaged in a spiritual battle and that sin and darkness must be pushed back. The Armor of God is the powerful weapon that should be used in this spiritual battle.

In this message, Duane empowers us to become a counterculture by reminding us of the words of Jesus, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." In Romans, Paul instructs followers to put on the armor of light.

In this message, Duane highlights that as followers of Christ, we were once in darkness but now we are the light in the Lord. Therefore, we should live as children of light.

In this message, Duane explains the kingdom of light and how our true identity is to be the light of the world. When we let our shine, we become the counterculture that exposes and expels the darkness.

In this message, Duane explains the church's true identity in Christ so we can fulfill our purpose and our calling to be a counterculture. The "Be-Attitudes" will strengthen you when you encounter opposition. 

In this message, Duane urges the church to embody a culture of humility rather than pride. He emphasizes that the church should be a house of humility and describes the attributes of humility as well as the consequences of pride.

God is humble and believers should reflect His image. In this message, Duane describes the attributes of humility and how humility is God's nature in man. We also examine the effects of pride.

In this message, Duane explains how the church is experiencing an identity crisis and that is one of the reasons we must learn the importance of being a counterculture. As the people of God, we have been translated into the kingdom of light and our new identity is to be the light of the world. Our culture of light is the counterculture to darkness.

Our culture is collapsing into a culture of darkness, hate, and death. In this message, Duane explains how the church has an anointing and responsibility to be the counter-culture with light, love and life. As believers, our new identity is to be the salt of the earth and the light in this world. We are called by God to bring light in the darkness through our life. Mathew 5:13-14.

The Church should be a Counter Culture of life, light, and love to a culture of death, darkness, and hate. In this message, Duane shares that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit in his mother's womb.

The church is facing an identity crisis. The current culture of death is a culture separated from God, has no respect for God, and is disobedient to God. The church must be a Counterculture of Life and remember its true identity.

The church needs to recognize the spiritual battle within our current culture. We have a responsibility to be a counterculture and address the cultural issues that threaten the eternal life of individuals and the assault on family, marriage, and our language.

Humility should be a part of a grace culture. Humility is preferring others before self and lifting others up. In this message, Duane helps us to understand humility and explains what humility should look like, feel like and how to be humble corporately.

God is love. In this message, Duane continues to dive deeper into God's kind of love and how it looks different than the culture's definition of love. The holy spirit reveals God's love through the Spirit, the Cross, and the Word. Get rooted and grounded in God's kind of love.

God is love. Believers should be a counterculture of love to a culture of hate. In this message, Duane defines love and explains what God's culture of love looks like. All God's children are called to love.

We are living and raising our children and grandchildren in today's "woke" culture which violates God's Word and God's Kingdom. Duane explains how believers can be a counterculture countering hate with love, darkness with light and death with life. In this message, Duane correlates today's spiritual battle with the story of David to help believers discern the time and the wisdom of what to do.

The church is called to be a Counter Culture.  Will believers be equipped to withstand persecution, prosecution, and in some countries, even execution? Or, will we compromise to get along with the culture of hate, darkness, and death? In this message, Duane encourages the body of Christ to be agents of salt and light in a world corrupted by darkness. 

The dominant culture in America has become hate, darkness, and death. God wants to use the church in the third great awakening. We must learn how to express God’s Culture of love to counter hate. In the next few sessions, we will define God’s kind of Love. Because the church at large has forgotten what love is, we will revisit biblically God’s Culture of love. What does love look like, what does love act like, and what does love sound like? 

In this message, Duane defines culture and continues to explore the signs & symptoms of a grace culture and its importance. Grace leads to giving and mercy.

In this message, Duane encourages the church to be a culture of grace. He defines culture, explains what a grace culture should look like and reviews the signs and symptoms of that grace culture.

The church is called to be a Counter Culture.  Will believers be equipped to withstand persecution, prosecution, and in some countries, even execution? Or, will we compromise to get along with the culture of hate, darkness, and death? In this message, Duane encourages the body of Christ to be agents of light in a world corrupted by darkness. 

In this message, Duane shares his testimony of how his life was radically changed when he had an encounter with Jesus and received an open vision of the cross. Grace is not something that is taught, it is someone you meet.

As we fulfill our Ministry to the Lost - we are called to be a witness and witnessing is just sharing your faith. Luke 10:16 “He who hears you hears me, he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects Him who sent me.” Share the truth in love and the Holy Spirit is the one that will convince, convict, and convert. Learn your authority.

The Church needs to develop a Kingdom Culture. Learn the seven basic building blocks in developing a Kingdom Culture: Values, Priorities, Behavior, Standards – Plumbline, Celebrations, Morality – Moral Law 10 Commandments, Relationships.

There are three different Ministries that God wants to develop in the life of a believer.The Ministry to the Lord; The Ministry to the Body of Christ by encouraging one another; The Ministry to the Lost by being an ambassador for Christ.

Culture is a group's way of life, beliefs, and values. Culture is by design, and if you don't purposely develop a culture that's healthy, you'll have a negative culture. We must build a culture that is kingdom centered.

As believers, we are all called to be Kings and Priests. We need to learn how to rebuke the devil, speak to our mountains, confess our healing, lay hands on the sick, overcome peer pressure and stand during times of trouble. In the name of Jesus, we have authority and anointing to share the Truth in love as we minister to the Lord, minister to the body (church), and in the ministry of reconciliation.

We are called into the Ministry. Ministry is when divine provision meets human needs, and it is God's will for us to minister and live a purposeful life.

We are ALL called into ministry. Ministry is when divine provision meets human needs, and it is God's will for us to minister and live a purposeful life.

Scripture teaches that we must be taught to love. Duane Sheriff explains the four attributes of God, so we will know that God loves us as much as He loves Jesus.

Culture is a group's way of life, beliefs, and values. Culture is by design; if you don't purposely develop a healthy culture, you'll have a negative culture. Duane Sheriff teaches that even the church has a culture, and we must build a kingdom-centered culture.

Duane Sheriff addresses the challenging issues that our culture is facing today. He explains that the battle is between God's definition of good and man's definition of good. The church can distinguish between good and evil by consuming the fruit of the Tree of Life or adopt the subculture of the world by consuming the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

God's kind of love is not man's kind of love. God IS love and love is OF God.

Easter is the most powerful event in the history of humanity. Jesus is real and the same power that raised Him from the dead has raised us from a life of sin.

We have 6 pieces of armor that are the weapons that God has provided for our spiritual warfare. These weapons of mass destruction reveal satan's strategies and equip us to fight the power of darkness with the power of God's light.

God has called his people who are willing to stand and fight—gladiators who are informed and equipped with His armor to war against darkness. To be exalted in light and truth.

Gladiators are trained fighters. God's gladiators defend and declare the gospel of the kingdom, and engage in spiritual warfare.

God is raising an army; we need to be better equipped to engage in spiritual warfare instead of being defeated on every front.

This message looks at Satan’s work in Adam – the first man and God’s redemptive work in Adam – the second man – Jesus. In Romans 5, Paul compares Adam in the garden vs Jesus at the cross. These two men are the most important men in scripture, and they represent all of us. A part of the “Great Awakening” is the church being shook out of slumber and “Awake” to the Kingdom of God where our position, power, and authority is revealed through our relationship with Christ. Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Our old creation (Adam) was after the flesh, but now our new Creation is in Christ, the hope of glory.

This mystery was hidden from ages and generations and how it has been revealed—Christ in you, the hope of glory, a new creation.

Through Jesus - the 2nd creation of man, God has reversed all the negative effects of Adam, the old creation.

We were in Jesus on the cross and died with Him. In Him we are born a new creation to bring light and life to a fallen world.

Continually beholding the glory of God will supernaturally bring change in a believer's life. In this message Brother Duane teaches about the 8 attributes of God's glory

We are called to be God's children of light; this is an ongoing process of changing into the image of Jesus.

Change is a constant and God has promised to be with us through this ongoing transformation process for His glory.

God has given us the power and grace to change and we have to mix our faith with God's promise.

Grace comes to the humble. We have no strength independent of God, and when we see His grace- Christ in us, we get a true understanding of grace.

Grace is Jesus and we can't experience it without a relationship with Him. Jesus is God's amazing grace that empowers and teaches us to be holy.

We are all on a healing journey that God has put us on and we are constantly developing and learning in this journey of healing.

God has given us all the power needed to change, or be transformed into the image of Jesus just as He has predestined for us.

God's predestination is that we are conformed into the image of Jesus. This is the appointment with destiny that we all have.

God created us on purpose, for a purpose. It is God's divine design for us to know our purpose individually, and corporately as the body of Christ.

The purpose of the law is to reveal sin. The Gospel of Jesus Christ reveals a righteousness that is not earned. It is a gift from God.

Advent means arrival, or a coming into place. For this Advent season, Duane teaches Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love and how Christmas shouldn't just be one day. The birth of Jesus should impact us each and every day.

God's thoughts of you are always happy. He has good plans for you and has predestined nothing but success for you.

Jesus didn't just bear all of our sins on the cross. He also bore all of God's wrath for us so we could live free from the law.

It is our predestination to be conformed into the image of Jesus."For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." - Romans 8:29 (NKJV)

There is a supernatural change that takes place within us after we make Jesus the Lord of our lives. This changing is an ongoing process that takes place when we yield to God and allow Him to change us. Everyone and everything changes, but God never does.

How does God change us, save us, and transform us? In this message, Duane teaches us about the process of change and how we are not to be conformed to this world but transformed by renewing our minds.

Strongholds are not demons. Strongholds are places where demons hide. The devil builds strongholds in our culture where he hides from God. It is our obedience to God that pulls down these strongholds.

When you embrace Jesus, you embrace grace and truth. It is grace that saves and converts us, but the truth makes us disciples. "Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

Jesus was God made flesh. If you embrace Jesus, you embrace grace and truth. Grace saves us, but it is the truth that makes us disciples.

There is one thing vital to our understanding and in our relationship with the Lord and Jesus is that one thing, the focus of our life.

We need to understand that Jesus is the one necessary thing we need to live life as Christ. Everything comes from Jesus, and everything comes back to Jesus, the one thing.

Do you know God? Grace is multiplied by knowing God and we can only know God through a deep, personal relationship with Him.

Do you have an understanding of our times and of what is happening in our world? We need to have understanding and wisdom to fulfill our purpose and not be compromised in the last days.

Can God trust you to stay in faith? Faith in God will equip you to overcome anything and to fight the good fight (I Timothy 6:12). We must fight to maintain our righteousness and our healing. We must fight against sickness just as we fight against sin. In this message, Brother Duane teaches us the eternal truths to healing we must understand. (Charis Healing School)

Faith in God will equip us to overcome anything, even death. In this message, Duane teaches us how to be trustworthy disciples of Jesus.

God is raising an army of people who know how to fight, who to fight, and when to fight, whose passion for Jesus cannot be quenched, and whose loyalty cannot be compromised.

There is a gravitational pull to religion we need to resist. The rhythms of God's grace keep us focused on a relationship with Jesus VS with law or religion.

We can live in, and from the grace of God throughout our lives by walking in faith and staying in relationship with Him, trusting Him always. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

The richness of grace is the strength of God to be what we don't have the strength to do on our own without Christ.

We are coming into a new understanding of God's amazing grace which has made us alive together in Christ.

We are living a life free of the law and should also be living free of guilt and condemnation associated with the law. We must understand that we are sinners to be free, but God doesn't want us living under condemnation and guilt for our sins.

Jesus told us that if we come to Him, He will give us rest. We live in a world that is full of stress and we need to learn when we have a relationship with Jesus and enter into that rhythm of grace, we will find rest.

God is Faithful, Not Guilty | Part 2 | Live from Durant, OK

In life, we face many problems but they do not come from God. God is the answer, not the problem. God never temps us or does bad things to us. When troubles come we need to run toward God, and not away.

God is faithful and not guilty of death, darkness, or pain. Because we live in a fallen world we will experience evil and tribulations. This comes by sin, not the will of God.

We are stewards of the kingdom of God and it is our responsibility to pass the things of God down to each and every generation. We have to be fully present to God and be generational people of God, His word, and His works.

Have we been faithful in stewarding God's Kingdom for the next generation? God is a generational God and has called us to be generational stewards of His kingdom. It is our responsibility to value the old while recognizing the value of the new, and pass down the things of God, generation after generation.

Between "I believe, I receive" and received is where we must endure and be thankful. Thankfulness is where our endurance grows. The Bible says to thank God IN all things, not for all things and we must have an attitude of gratitude despite challenges. Pastor Duane teaches us to thank God always, in all things.

The body of Christ should be a people of faith and courage who know to trust God. In this message Pastor Duane teaches to prepare for a great awakening by resisting fear and by abounding in faith.

Look at the world around you. What do you see? Hate? Death? Darkness? Or, are you walking in faith and seeing the Kingdom? God's Kingdom is here and cannot be destroyed. We have to walk by faith, not by sight until the day of Jesus appears; manifesting with Him the one and only Kingdom of God.

Andrew Wommack ministers to close out Jubilee 2022.

We have to understand that all authority comes from God and is delegated with boundaries. If we can not understand how authority works, we will live an unfulfilled, unsuccessful life.

Are you saved and stuck? Have you just been waiting around for the kingdom? The kingdom of God is here now and is greater than any kingdom of this world. We need to grow and mature to understand the cost of seeking the kingdom. Pastor Duane teaches us how to endure the opposition that comes with seeking His kingdom

Success is directly connected to how we relate to authority, the authority we are under, and the authority we have. Brother Duane teaches us how to understand authority in faith and not abuse our authority.

Yes, we can understand God’s will for our lives! It is His plan for us to know His will. God is not evasive on this subject, but we need to be in relationship with Him and attuned to Him. “…that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” (Col. 1:9-10)

It is those with faith AND patience who inherit the promises of God. Patience is the strength of faith that allows you to get to the end and see the manifestation of what God gives you at the beginning of every journey.

One of the components that make up our faith ecosystem is love. Faith works by love and knowing His love for us grows and strengthens our faith

Why is it that so many seem to be struggling with simple faith? Pastor Duane teaches that there is an ecosystem that makes up our faith environment. We need to understand this ecosystem so we can build up and strengthen our faith to live a life free from fear and full of hope.

The world can’t discern truth because they are being consumed by darkness. Even in The Church, there is deception, and we need discernment to live in God’s will and lead people to the truth and light of the world which is Jesus Christ. We need to listen with open ears as Pastor Duane teaches us how to life a life established in kingdom principles.

God wants us as his people and as the bride of Jesus to know who we are in Christ and to have a firm foundation of our identity in Him.

The Lord is near the broken hearted and it is His will for full restoration in all our hearts. In this message Pastor Duane teaches on two kinds of sorrow and how we need to repent for our sins and be receptive to His forgiveness.

It’s God’s will and pleasure to see us healed. We need to connect to Him in faith to manifest the many ways He makes healing available to us. In this message Pastor Duane teaches us eight ways we can receive healing.

In this third teaching Pastor Duane addresses many questions people have in relation to sin, sickness and healing. Questions like; where does sickness come from, what is the source of sickness and how do I get healed? This message looks at 3 sources of sickness and their relation to sin. Sin should never stop the power of God working in our lives and we hope this message clears things up for many people and opens a path for receiving healing.

In this message we take a look at God’s heart to restore us when we are brokenhearted. We also see how He not only wants to restore us, He desires to bring good out of the bad things that happen in this life.

This message takes a look back into the old testament and particularly the story of the Passover Meal and how it relates to healing for us today.

There are many things that happen in life that we have no answers for. When the unexplainable happens, it can be absolutely devastating to the human heart. Then, when brokenness goes unresolved, it leads to a negative harvest in our lives. It is essential to guard our hearts with all diligence and to turn to Jesus when faced with brokenness. He is always faithful to walk us through hard times and to lead us into wholeness of heart.

In this message Pastor Duane talks about how it is God's will to heal all the time every time. How do we know it's God's will to heal? We take a look at 5 biblical truths about God that can be found in his word in many scriptures that can sure up our foundation and give us confidence in the God who heals.

We all at one time or another have experienced pain, hurt, and hardship because of the effects of sin in our world. Learning to turn to Jesus during these difficult times is crucial. A lot of people’s suffering comes from either their own broken heart, or the brokenness of another person who hasn't properly healed. God has called us as a community of faith to understand the anointing of God to heal the broken hearted, and for our churches to be a house of restoration and healing in the world.

This message takes a look at 4 types of unbelief that can go masked in our lives. it is important to identify the disguises of unbelief so that we can properly cast it out and operate in the full measure of faith we have been given.

Faith is vital to our walk with Christ and the enemy of our faith is unbelief. This message looks at 4 different kinds of unbelief and what the cure is for each of them. As believers, we need to be confident that God has equipped us to overcome any unbelief that is warring against our faith.

For a believer, Jesus has removed the sting of death and the strength of the law over us by bearing our sins on the cross. If we can get a deeper revelation of this truth it will grow our love for the Lord and reveal His incredible love for us.

When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, scripture says that his family and friends had to loose him of his grave clothes. This message talks about what "grave clothes" are and looks at how to remove the garments of death off of our lives. Our old sin nature can try to cling to us when we are born again and resurrected from a life of sin and death. Maybe Easter was a day you decided to give your life to Jesus and Pastor Duane wants to help with your journey out of the "grave" and gives us 2 essentials for freedom and 4 ways to remove grave clothes off of our lives.

The resurrection of Jesus is not just a historical event, it can be a personal experience with Christ when mixed with faith. When we get a new revelation of what Jesus really did for us on the cross and how we can now leave the tombs in our lives because of His resurrection we can see true transformation.

David was a man after God's heart who fulfilled all of God's will. We can also fulfill all of God's will for us if we pursue the heart of God.

Our identity as the church is the body and Christ is the head. This message looks at another part of our identity as being the bride. The bride testifies of Gods passionate love and pursuit of us a his people. Marriage is a type and a shadow of our relationship with Jesus as our husband and the church being His bride.

God is gathering his people together and assembling them to fulfill a divine purpose in our world. We all need each other in the body of Christ to grow and mature in the things of God.

God is gathering his people together and assembling them to fulfill a divine purpose in our world. We all need each other in the body of Christ to grow and mature in the things of God.

The Bible addresses the number one need in marriage for husbands and wives in Ephesians 5:30-33 and it simply breaks down to men needing respect and wives needing to be loved. This message looks and how we can do these things and some of the roles that God has shown us in scripture that we are to have as a husband or a wife.

This message reviews the 4 keys to every success story and how it applies to marriage. Then Pastor Duane gives 5 building blocks of marriage that are eternal truths from the Bible and are generational constants.

In a previous message we learned that communication is one of the anchor lines to being happily married and this session focuses on that anchor line. Pastor Duane gives us 4 elements involved in effective communication and explains each one and shows us how to apply them to our relationships and marriages.

Marriage is a beautiful thing designed by God and He intended it to be nothing but a blessing to us. It is something we should always be working on and seeking knowledge about, not just when it is in trouble. So what is the purpose of marriage? How do I be happily married? These are some of the questions Pastor Duane covers in this message.

This message talks about 4 different tabernacles that are in the scriptures and how all of them speak to something we need understand in the Kingdom of God. Pastor Duane shows us each one and explains what each tabernacle was a type and shadow of and how it relates to Jesus and His church today and how much God truly loves us and how he longs to be among us.

In part 4 of this series we look at how we are living stones built upon Jesus who is the cornerstone to make up the building of the Church. Each of us are given grace gifts that are for the edifying of the Church and we have to see our need for each other.

God has a plan for you individually and it is important to discover and fulfill that, but often we do not see our purpose in the church and how it fits with the body of the Lord Jesus Christ. This message takes a look at how we are each given gifts that are for building up the church and how each part is essential and needs the other in order to function. There is a corporate power and anointing when we assemble together that we do not have individually on our own.

We as the people of God have a corporate identity as the church and it is for a divine purpose. How do we progress toward manifesting this purpose? One way is by understanding three parts of the churchThe head , The body , and The Bride. This message looks at the body and goes in depth on what that is and what it means.

What does it mean to be a glorious church? What might that look like? This message breaks down 3 descriptions of the church that are used in the bible and Pastor Duane helps us understand what our roles are as members. He also looks at the role of pastors and what part Jesus plays in the church. When we keep Jesus as the head, we can see how it can be glorious.

The Kingdom of God is Heaven on Earth: God’s will being done in the earth. We have to come to a place where we understand that we have God’s Kingdom on the inside of us and we forget that we are supposed to be the ones that change the culture. We keep wanting our workplaces to change but we seem to not understand that we are the culture changers. We bring the Kingdom to our workplaces, schools, and so on. We cannot allow the world to be our shepherd, that is God’s job. Pastor Duane shows us how we bring God’s Kingdom to the earth and why it is so important, especially for our future generations.

We tend to get consumed by the worries of this world and they are important things, like being fed and clothed. However, we so often forget to seek God's Kingdom FIRST and at the same time remember that "these things shall be added" to us. (Matthew 6:31-34)How do we seek the Kingdom? What does that even mean and what is the Kingdom of God? Pastor Duane shows us how to seek God's Kingdom. But he doesn't stop there, we also learn how to bring the influence of God's Kingdom into our world. We come against a lot of resistance and yes, it's easier to just "go with the flow", but the Kingdom will irritate the powers of this world.

In part 2 of this series, we learned that faith is voice activated and that it speaks. So what does the voice of faith sound like? It's edifying, encouraging and saturated with thanksgiving. The same principle applies to unbelief and that voice sounds like murmuring and complaining. Pastor Duane looks at both of these principles and how they affect our lives.

Proverbs 1:7 says, "Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." So to learn anything we have to start with a reverential worship of God. When we get wisdom and instruction from the Lord it is pure and not based on our feelings or emotions which can sometimes confuse or blind us. Pastor Duane show us that in order for us to continue to develop the ability to discern we have to start with reverential fear and respect for God.

The world at large is in an era of darkness and supernatural blindness to the things around them and it can be difficult to discern truth from lie, right from wrong and good from evil. Pastor Duane wants to show us how to develop the ability to discern these things and to be able to discern the times your are in and then walk in wisdom and love to help minister to people.

Faith requires action. One way we can act is when we choose to trust God and simply be thankful. In this session we look at the people of Israel and the five dangers that God told them to avoid. One of those dangers is complaining. Pastor Duane explains why complaining is so dangerous and actually produces decrease in our lives.

In this message, Pastor Duane talks about one of the actions of Faith which is Thanksgiving! We as people must learn how to activate our faith and train our children and others to activate their faith by modeling an attitude of gratitude.”

First thing to know—nothing can separate you from the Love of God. God will never leave you, He will never forsake you, and He will be nothing less than faithful to you.He is always looking for relationship with you— no matter how far you have ran or drifted away from Him.There is only one of you and no one can take your place at the table of the Lord. He wants YOU reconciled back to Him.

If you don't have a lot of money, you can still have the love of money in your heart! Money is a poor master but it is a tool in our hands to serve the true King of our heart. Pastor Duane talks more about God's Word on prosperity. We can trust God with our finances because we can trust Him with our hearts. We are all at risk to be self-righteous in either camp, rich or poor, but we can all trust God no matter what the balance says on our bank account.

God has laid before us a choice of good or evil, life or death. Not only that, He also gives us the answer - choose LIFE! Most of the time we get it wrong and choose evil, but if we remain in fellowship with God and meditate on His Word, then by His Spirit we will know what life truely is.

What is the Spirit of Antichrist? How can we recognize it? How do we not let oursleves be decieved by it? These can be deep questions, but more simple to answer than we may think. In this message Pastor Duane takes us to several scriptures that help break down these questions in a simple way for everyone to understand.

Man today believes he can know good from evil independent of God. In the last days it will be impossible to discern things without a relationship with God and a love for His Word. We as God's people need to see and understand the times we are in so that we can be a blessing to others and be prepared to reap a great harvest of people waking up and coming to God.

We live in a world that easily confuses good and evil. So how do we as believers keep ourselves from being deceived and have the ability to see right from wrong? This series searches the word of God to help us discover how to guard our hearts and to supernaturally be able to discern good from evil.

This series searches the word of God to help us discover how to guard our hearts and to supernaturally be able to discern good from evil.

How does God identify? He identifies himself through Jesus. Jesus is God's "selfie".He is a perfect and pure picture of the true and living God and He came to establish the character of God in the earth. How we perceive God effects everything in our life and it will be how we reflect God in our everyday lives. It's important that we understand who God is and what he is like to be true image bearers of God.

Most people would say Jesus came to save us from our sins. While that is correct it is incomplete. Part of the reason Jesus came to the earth was to reveal God's true nature and character to us so that we could know him. Eternal life is knowing God and it is intimate and it will take a lifetime for us to know God, but looking to Jesus is the place to start.

There are many temptations and dangers that can come with accumulating wealth. It's important that we guard our hearts in the area of finances and possessions and stay yielded to God so that we don't become unbalanced in our relationship to riches.

Have you ever had someone do something for you and then they expect to be able to "cash in" on it from you later? Pastor Duane talks about where the harvest comes from, what the harvest is, and the timing of the harvest when we sow into other people.

Immaturity keeps us from growing into mature disciples who see the truth in today's world. Pastor Duane teaches us how to have eyes that see and ears that hear the truth and not go by what we see or feel in the natural.

Immaturity keeps us from growing into mature disciples who see the truth in today's world. Pastor Duane teaches us how to have eyes that see and ears that hear the truth and not go by what we see or feel in the natural.

A great awakening happens when believers are transformed from converts to disciples. Pastor Duane teaches us how we need to discern between good and evil and be the disciples of the great awakening movement.

We are at the beginning stages of a third Great Awakening and we as the church are called to be the salt and light of the world. It is time for us to wake up and learn to discern the times and stand up to corruption.

Sin is not just a vertical issue, it is horizontal, too! What does that mean? Your sins do not only affect you, they have an effect on all of us. God's grace and forgiveness does not mean we should just keep sinning. His grace and forgiveness empowers us to live better and live healed! We are not just trying to have a good afterlife, we are making our current life count and bring Heaven to earth.

Did you know that we have sins that we don't even know we are doing? If we were still under the old covenant, we would have to offer up so many sacrifices to atone for just our known sins. Then once a year, there was a sacrifice just for all the unknown sins!In the new and better covenant, Jesus's sacrifice atoned for ALL our sins, known and unknown. All we have to do is trust Him! Jesus's sacrifice perfected us forever and made us completely forgiven! We live from that place of understanding that we are forgiven and from that Love!

Some people are stuck in immaturity; unaware that they are asleep. A healthy church transitions the sleeping to the awakened, the immature to the mature.

A healthy church needs to be a church set apart from today’s culture. A church that is prepared for a harvest and raising up disciples for His purpose.

In this message, Pastor Duane explains how to build healthy churches that walk in maturity and that raise up healthy church members, families, cities and ultimately a healthy nation.

Yes, God divorced Israel. In this message, Duane explains how that was a part of God creating a better covenant! Duane even shares how he got in trouble with a group of people when he said there were things God could not do, like breaking a promise. We certainly trust people who are good at keeping promises, but God is perfect at it! We can trust Him with everything!

In this message, Pastor Duane talks about fulfilling God’s will for our lives even in the most challenging times. Although we fail at times, if we remain steadfast in our faith, we are victorious in Him!

In this message, Pastor Duane teaches us how to discover God’s purpose and perfect will for our lives. God has instilled a unique predestined appointment within each one of us and we do not want to miss out on all that He has for us!

God is for you and has predestined a primary and a secondary purpose for you that is unique to you alone. Until we understand God’s will for us, we will live an unfulfilled life.

God has a purpose and a plan for your life.  In this session at the Destiny Conference, Pastor Duane reveals how God is living big within us and that He has designed us with a specific purpose in mind.

The Word of God is seed and our hearts are ground. If you openly receive God's Word, your heart is good ground. But, if you let your heart grow hard, you won't bear fruit and could miss your harvest. What are you letting take root in your life?

One of the most important steps a farmer takes is preparing the ground for planting. Our hearts are like soil and we are "good ground" but we need to prepare our hearts to grow the good seeds and reject the bad ones.Pastor Duane teaches us to prepare our hearts for the harvest!

Pastor Duane warns us not to buy into cultural thinking and into critical race ideology. The only path towards true equality is rooted in the Gospel and in the Cross. It is Critical GRACE Theory and we must understand it and share it with a world that's in desperate need.

Pastor Duane shows us that we need to look only to Jesus as The Solution. We are in a critical time where we are hearing multiple groups come up with all kinds of "solutions" for living well, none of which are sustainable. We cannot afford to forget the grace that only Jesus has provided!

Pastor Duane shows us that we need to look only to Jesus as The Solution. We are in a critical time where we are hearing multiple groups come up with all kinds of "solutions" for living well, none of which are sustainable. We cannot afford to forget the grace that only Jesus has provided!

How do you identify? It's a prevalent question being asked in our culture today. Without Christ, people will look to their flesh to find some sort of identity and purpose in this life. With Christ, however, we now know that our identity has nothing to do with our flesh. Instead, it has everything to do with how we have been made a new creation through faith in Christ Jesus. And that the life we now live is not according to the flesh but by the Spirit of God.

We live in a time where everything in the church and in our culture is being shaken. When the dust settles, only that which is of the Kingdom will remain. This is why it's so critical that believers understand their new identity in Christ and are building lives that are Kingdom-focused rather than rooted in the cares of this world.

Work is a form of worship and a part of the image of God. Without saying, "live long and prosper", Pastor Duane shows us how mixing faith with our work gives us a prosperous mindset!

Our words, if spoken in faith, have the power to change the trajectory of our lives. Jesus said that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, and the scriptures give many examples of how Jesus would sow seeds of faith and see an instant harvest. And though we may not always see instant results, we need to understand that our words matter and that if we mix faith with our words, we will see transformation in our lives.

Words are seeds!What kind of spiritual seeds are you planting with your words?We tend to forget the power of what we say, but Pastor Duane reminds us that what we say has such potential to grow into something big, whether good or bad.This message will inspire you to start planting the spiritual seeds that will bring a good harvest in your life and in the lives of others around you!

God’s Word is like a seed. It carries life and has the power to grow exponentially and produce nourishing fruit. But seed only grows when planted in soil! You must plant it and trust that your soil has been given everything it needs to produce good fruit in your life

Good in, good out: Bad in, bad out. It is a simple enough principle, especially in gardening. If you plant good seeds in good soil, you will get good crops. If you plant bad seeds, even in good soil, you will get bad crops. So, what are you planting in your life?

A balanced diet is just as important in spiritual development and growth as it is in the natural! Each part of the diet is important for certain parts of development, so one neither replaces nor stands more important than the other. And just as we go through different phases of what and in what form we can eat things dependent on our age, so it is in our spiritual maturity. So, what are you eating?
