Check Your Interface!
The proper interface is important for two entities to share information. For example, if you have a computer that lacks an 802.11 or 3G interface, you cannot access the internet wirelessly.
Every human being is equipped with what is commonly known as a conscience. Another term for this is “moral compass.” I like to think of it as a “wireless interface” or a radio receiver. Likewise, your internal receiver is always tuned – without change – to that frequency. I like to call it, “W-G-O-D!”
One of the failures of Christian evangelism is that its practitioners are little more than fire-insurance salesmen. Folks obtain salvation as a means to avoiding eternal hell but little more. The ultimate failure of religion is that it promises a pleasant afterlife without dealing with the present issues of the here-and-now.
Every other major religion of the world views Jesus as a great man. Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and others all call Jesus a “prophet” or a “holy man.” However, one of the characteristics of a “good,” “holy,” or “prophetic” man would have to be honesty. Consider the words of Jesus in John 10: 7-9:
7Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Here, Jesus identifies Himself as an interface, calling Himself a door. It is interesting that He refers to Himself as a door, because a door is an interface to either another room in a building or a point of entry or exit to the building. Understand, though that without a hinge, a door is merely another type of wall. What made Jesus a door was the cross; the cross is the hinge!
As if that weren’t enough, Jesus puts the punctuation mark on His assertion in John 14:6:
6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is not merely saying He is an interface; rather, He is the interface.
It is essential to understand interfaces because they often represent the gateway to something we are trying to achieve or receive.
Which begs the question, what is Jesus the interface to? Well, He clearly stated He is the door to salvation and the way, or interface, to the Father.
“But,” as they say in the infomercials, “wait, there’s more.”
Jesus said in John 10:10 that He “…is come that they (His followers) might have life and have it more abundantly.”
In other words, Jesus is the gateway not only to eternal life but to abundant life! This abundant life is only possible through the interface to proper relationship with the Creator; that is, God. And it is through this relationship that we find our purpose, receive our divine assignment, and fulfill our destiny.
Mankind cannot fully comprehend its purpose without a revelation springing forth from the mind of the Creator. And this type of revelation only comes from a holistic relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
So, if you are a disciple of Christ and you are not experiencing the abundant life promised you by the Word of God, or if you are among those who do not know Him but want to experience life to the full, check your interface!

The following is an excerpt from the book, "satan, Let Me Refresh Your Memory," by Derrick and Angela Day.
Who’s backing you?
Before we get puffed up and wise in our own conceits to think we can take on satan on our own power, we have to remember that true warfare require fighting forces. Every standing army is backed by the government it is sworn to defend. And every standing army has a commander-in-chief; in the Kingdom of God, the Commander-in-Chief is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Citizens of the Kingdom of God serve two roles, ambassador and soldier.
First and foremost, we are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God:
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20)
It is our duty to represent our King. As part of the new birth, we are commissioned to spread the good news of our God and His glorious Kingdom. When our citizenship changes, we remain in the world but we are not of the world. Therefore, we are ambassadors in a foreign land and, as such have the responsibility to speak the words of his home government, lest we be subject to recall!
Next we are called to be soldiers. This is why the Apostle Paul gave the illustration of combat apparel:
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God…(Ephesians 6:13-17)
We have to understand that, in our capacity as soldiers, we are to be an occupying force of a victorious power. We are to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), not aggressors. We are to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12).
In our charge as ambassador and soldier, we are backed by the power and glory of Almighty God, creator of all things, the King of kings, Lord of lords, and the savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, and the Governor of all Creation, the Holy Spirit.
Just like U.S. dollars are backed by “the full faith and credit of the United States Government,” we must be fully persuaded we have the backing of the Lord of Hosts when resisting the devil. What is the guarantee we have this backing? The Word of God! It is the believer’s assurance that God will do what he says.
The devil is not the opposite of God. If this were true, satan would be God’s equal and would possess God’s creative ability. The fact is God has no equal! Evil is not the opposite of Good, it is merely the absence of it. Just like darkness is not the opposite of light, it is simply the absence of it!

God Wants You Healed - God Wants You Well!
In a previous posting, I wrote that God is not the author of sickness. God will not smite His children with sickness, plague, or pain for any reason. Yes, believers get sick; after all, we live in a fallen, sin-stained world. But we need to learn to discern between what is the chastisement of God and what is an attack of the enemy. Often times what saints ascribe to chastisement (e.g., "God made me sick to teach me a lesson...") is really an attack of the enemy.
I took the liberty of pulling a number of scriptures regarding healing:
- O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. (Psalm 30:2)
- Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healethall thy diseases (Psalm 103:2-3)
- He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20)
- But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
- And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23)
- And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Matthew 10:1)
- And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Luke 6:19)
- Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
- Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 John 1:2)
Now, if you look at this forensically, you will conclude the preponderance of evidence points to the fact that God wants us to be healed if we are sick and to remain healthy. If you conclude that if God is the architect of sickness, then Jesus acted against the will of the Father. Heaven forbid!
Chastening, as I stated in my article COMES FROM THE WORD OF GOD for the believer. And If we do not endure the chastening of the Word of God, then we are, indeed, bastards. I wholeheartedly agree with that premise.
Sickness and affliction comes from the devil. When we veer off the path of righteousness, the Word of God chastens and puts us on the right path.
Understand, that if sickness is from God and Jesus healed them all (which means it is His desire to heal all today) then Jesus was operating outside the will of God. HEAVEN FORBID!!! No sir, Jesus said He only did what he saw the Father do (John 5:19); how many people did Jesus make sick or afflict with disease during His earthly ministry? None.
What the Holy Spirit has prompted me to teach is for the saints of God to stop saying things like, "God gave me this cancer to teach me a lesson," or "God took my baby to draw me closer to Him." God does not need to hurt His children to catch their attention. When I caught this revelation, it changed my life. Indeed, I have seen people healed from all manner of diseases once they experienced this liberty.
In fact, because of the fallen world we live in, I still catch the occasional symptoms of a cold but I'm able to reduce the severity and duration of the symptoms by speaking the Word of God to the root of the symptoms, thereby destroying the work of the devil!
My heart's desire is to see

What Jairus Knew (and Every Parent Should Know)
And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live. (Mark 5:22-23)
Jairus was a ruler or priest of a synagogue. And he was a priest with a problem; his daughter lie at home, sick to the point of death. But he heard of a man, a man called Jesus, who had the power to heal the sick. And he heard this Jesus was passing through town and was compelled to seek Him on behalf of his daughter.
Notice here that Jairus was a ruler. He had responsibilities in the house of worship. But he understood his first ministry was to his household. Now, being a priest was a full-time responsibility, but he dropped what he was doing to get what his daughter needed.
Jairus knew that he could not get his daughter to come to Jesus, so he besought Jesus to come to his daughter! Praise God! Catch the revelation here: he invited Jesus to enter into his daughter’s presence. He knew that if he could just get Jesus to enter the room, to touch his daughter, her situation would change.
How many parents today experience difficulty in getting their children to come to Christ? Jairus understood CLEARLY that if he couldn’t get Jesus to come to his daughter, she would DIE! How many children are at risk of spiritual death because they lack a simple touch from God?
But the story gets more interesting, Jesus gets detoured by the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25-34). This consumed precious minutes — minutes that Jesus could have been using to heal Jairus’ daughter.
Mind you, a miracle occurred here — the woman who interrupted Jesus was healed of her sickness! Glory to God! But it’s hard to see past someone else’s miracle when you are in dire need, yourself. How many times have you thought God was simply too busy with other things to pay attention to your little problem?
What happened next was someone came from Jairus’ household and informed him that his daughter was dead (Mark 5:35). At this point, Jairus could have given up and Jesus could have gone about His merry way, but watch what Jesus said:
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue,Be not afraid, only believe. (Mark 5:36)
In the face of a bad report, we must maintain — no, increase — our trust in God. Without saying so, the Scripture implies that Jesus and Jairus continued on their way to his daughter.
And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. (Mark 5:37)
Jesus had twelve anointed disciples in His inner circle. Yet he only permitted three, Peter, James, and John to go with Him. In other words, you cannot take everyone with you into a faith fight! Even some of the most anointed folks may falter or faint when confronted with real spiritual adversity. To be blunt about it, not everyone in your inner circle can go into the fight with you. God will reveal who you can take. And this is absolutely critical when it comes to your children!
When Jesus, Jairus, and the three Apostles went into Jairus’ home, they found the trappings of death — mourners and wailers. A pall was cast over the household. The child was dead and the relatives were grieving. Listen, without Jesus, the trappings of death are all about you. You grieve because your child is spirirtually unresponsive to you.
Your child is dead apart from God!
Jesus told everyone that the child was not dead but sleeping (Mark 5:39). I stand in awe at how God can look at a dead thing yet speak life to it. And the funny thing is that folks standing around can only see the death in the situation and grieve — that is, throw up their
