We have seen the devil is in control of this earth until Christ's return.
We have learned that he is the force behind all disease, calamities, death and destruction on this earth.
"It sure seems hopeless. I guess I will have to wait until I get to heaven before I see the fruits of Jesus' sacrifice."
Far too many of us have this wrong thinking.
The devil is in control of the world system.
However, the believer is in control of his or her life and the realm they live in.
You see, when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead He took His rightful place as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
He then delegated that authority to the believer.
Read carefully Mark 16:17-18.
Mark 16:17-18 (King James Version) 17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
Do these words from our Lord Jesus sound like He expects the Church to be weak and powerless against a supernatural foe?
Of course not!
We are to attack all the works of the devil not just with head knowledge but with the revelation of the Name of Jesus!
The Name is supernatural!
Jesus expects the Church to do what He did and even greater works.
John 14:12 (King James Version) 12Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Do you realize the power behind this statement? Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, walked on water, turned water into wine, cast out demons and so much more.
Yet, He said those that believe would do the same and EVEN GREATER WORKS.
What was the qualification? To believe.
Is that you?
Yes, you believe in salvation but what about everything else Jesus said a believer has and can do?
Faith takes action.
It's your choice to act in faith and lay hands on the sick and call them healed in Jesus Name.
It's your choice to speak to that demon and command him to leave that tormented soul alone.
It's your choice to pray in tongues.
You see, God is ultimately in control of all because He has a plan for man that will ultimately be fulfilled.
But, you are in control of your life and destiny in Christ. It is up to you to reach out in faith and take hold of the promises or you can choose to stay in your spiritual comfort zone and do nothing for yourself, the Body of Christ, or a hurting world.
Who's in control?
You are.

Who's In Control Part 3
Yesterday, we learned about Adam selling out the human race to Satan in the Garden of Eden.
Thank God we also learned that Jesus totally defeated Satan at the Cross and took back the authority Adam lost.
However, the question remains why is there so much destruction, despair, and hopelessness on this earth if Satan is defeated.
The answer is simple. Satan is still the god of this world. He still has authority over the unsaved.
"I thought you said Jesus took that authority back."
I did and He did.
Colossians 1:12-13 (King James Version) 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
You see, the moment we accept Christ as our Savior we are IN HIM.
IN HIM we operate in a totally different kingdom than the world does.
We have been translated out of Satan's kingdom into God's kingdom. Praise God!
The believer has authority over his or her domain. Where you feet step on this planet is God's Kingdom becuase you are there.
Where you are is where Christ is!
The devil has no authority over you or your realm of influence.
Unless you give it to him through unbelief, unrepentant sin, or lack of Bible knowledge.
IN HIM, you are in control because Jesus has given you control. The problem comes when you don't know what you have in the way of authority through Jesus Christ.
Hosea 4:6 (King James Version) 6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
IN HIM you are not a victim of circumstances.
IN HIM you don't have to wonder if God heard your prayers.
IN HIM you don't have live in fear wondering if God is going to do what He said He would do.
IN HIM you have the power to do something.
IN HIM you have authority to lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
IN HIM you have authority over demon powers.
It's IN HIM, IN HIM, IN HIM all IN HIM!!!
Find out what the Bible says about YOU and let denominational chains and religious tradition fall by the wayside.
YOU ARE A VICTOR IN CHRIST JESUS NOW!!!

Who's In Control Part 2
Satan is the god of this world. He is in control.
For now.
Christ is coming soon and will cast Satan into the pit for a thousand years and then into the Lake of Fire.
However, Satan is in control for now.
When you read a story about some woman that killed her baby Satan was behind it.
When you hear of genocide taking place in parts of the world Satan is behind it.
When you read of rape, child abuse, or spousal abuse Satan is behind it.
Cancer, AIDS, autism, arthritis, swine flu and every other disease known to man is a result of Satan's rule over this earth.
He has blinded the world to his role to the point where some don't even know he exists.
2 Corinthians 4:3-5 (King James Version) 3But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
Instead, he turns people's accusations, even some of the church's, against God.
"Why did God kill that Baby?"
"I guess God put this cancer on me to teach me something by suffering."
I have enough sense not to throw my kid in front of a passing bus and proclaim, "Ha! Now you have learned to look both ways."
Do we think God teaches with cruelty? NO! It is the devil!
John 10:10 (King James Version) 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly
Jesus came to give you and I the abundant life. The devil came to steal, kill, and destroy.
Is someone suffering from cancer living the abundant life? No, it is from the devil!
Yes, Satan is in control of this world. But, we are not of this world!
Praise God, we have been given the name of Jesus to cast the cancer out! (Mark 16:18)
Praise Him, we have been given the Name of Jesus to cast that demon out that is oppressing a loved one's mind!
The devil is in control of the world.
Thank God we are not of the world therefore we have authority over Satan's devices, schemes, and plans in the Name of Jesus.

Who's In Control part 1
"Mace, God is in control of everything. After all, He is God."
If one were to disagree with this statement many would call that person guilty of heresy.
But, the truth is God is not in control of this world.
I will give you a few moments to pick yourself up off of the floor before I continue...ok, let's see what the Word says.
First, let me state unequivocally that God is God and can do whatever He wants to. However, He gave dominion of this earth to Adam. Adam, through sin, committed high treason and gave the authority of this earth to Satan.
Man gave Satan full reign over planet earth which is why God needed a man to take that authority back. That man was Jesus Christ.
Praise God.
In the Gospels we see Satan's rulership over this planet confirmed in the temptation of Jesus.
Matthew 4:8-10 (King James Version)8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
If the kingdoms of this world were not Satan's to give then it would not be a temptation would it?
Thank God Jesus took that authority from Satan by shedding His blood at Calvary's Cross!
Revelation 1:18 (Amplified Bible)18And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
Jesus took back the authority the devil had stolen from Adam. Jesus, the second Adam, totally and completely defeated the devil.
"Well, how come there is so much suffering and chaos on this earth if Jesus took His authority back?"
Good question and we will deal with it tomorrow. I pray you study these scriptures out and get new revelation on this subject.

Don't Quench The Spirit
The Holy Spirit through Paul gave the Church a series of command in his first letter to the Thessalonians.
One is a very simple command yet more and more not heeded.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 (Amplified Bible)19Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit;
I submit to you in all boldness that far too many of us as individuals and churches quench the Holy Spirit.
We have become so regimented in our services that the movement of the Holy Spirit has little place, if any at all.
After all, we have to be out of service in forty-five minutes or we go stir crazy.
We have to beat the crowd to Luby's so we can sit for two hours and feed our faces.
I am being facetious of course but that is not to far from the truth.
What causes us to quench the Spirit?
1) Religion - The devil has done a fine job of replacing the gifts of the Spirit with dignified religion. Too many of us have ripped 1 Corinthians Chapters 12-14 from our Bibles and have ignored the words of JESUS in Mark 16:16-18. Put 'em back and live them out.
2) Tradition - "We don't do that kind of service here." Friend, we have to give the Holy Spirit free reign in our lives and in our Church services. The Church in the Book of Acts would be unwelcome in many circles today because they were to radical and a bunch of Holy Rollers. Friend, those radicals shook the world.
3) Fear - When we yield to the movement of the Holy Spirit we are giving up the Lordship of our lives to Him. Sometimes He may have you prophesy for the edification of the Church or just receive a blessing. Whatever it is you must not be afraid of what people think or how you feel. Just yield to the Holy Spirit.
4) Lack of Teaching - Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. We should not be ignorant of nor ignore the Holy Spirit. The Word is plain how He operates and that He confirms the Word with supernatural manifestations. Pastors need to teach the people and we need to take it upon ourselves to read the Word and learn about the third person of the Godhead.
Don't quench the Spirit. He wants to bless you and the Church through you.
How will He do that if you don't let Him?

God Takes Pleasure In Your Prosperity
Let's settle it once and for all.
God doesn't want you broke and walking down barely get along street.
He takes pleasure in your prosperity.
"How do you know?"
Well, the Word says so.
Psalm 35:27 (King James Version) 27Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
The devil has used religion to hold far too many of God's people in financial bondage.
Before you can prosper you have to believe God wants you to prosper. The Word is plain in stating to you and I that God finds pleasure when we prosper.
God's prosperity plan is a plan of purpose.
The purpose of prosperity is to meet your needs, your family's needs, and to fund the Gospel.
"Mace, I don't have the education to be prosperous. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth."
Well, thank God when you were born again you gained access to spoons of gold!
God will tell you how to prosper.
Isaiah 48:17 (Amplified Bible)17Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go.
The Holy Spirit and the Word will lead you into your path of abundant supply.
Follow the Holy Spirit's leading and adhere to God's plan for finances as found in His Word and you will not only be profitable to yourself but to those in need and the work of God too.

The Rapture
Friend, if you want to know what the future holds you don't need astrology, the psychic hotline, nor to pay some fool in a trailer on the side of the road.
All of those are demonic so stay away from them.
However, you do have the Bible and it tells us a great deal about where we came from, where we are and where we are going.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (New King James Version) 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
The day is coming very soon when the trump is going to sound and we will meet our loved ones who have gone before us in the air with Christ.
This is the rapture. After this momentous event the antichrist will try and destroy Israel once and for all.
Notice, I said he would "try."
After seven years of tribulation Christ will not just come to the atmosphere but He will actually return to planet earth with all His saints and stomp the devil's head in!
Praise God. Ours is a bright and glorious future reigning with our King Jesus Christ!
We will see our loved ones again.
Pain will be gone.
Tears will be dry.
Joy overfloweth!
Oh Happy Day!

All of those are demonic so stay away from them.
However, you do have the Bible and it tells us a great deal about where we came from, where we are and where we are going.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (New King James Version) 13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
The day is coming very soon when the trump is going to sound and we will meet our loved ones who have gone before us in the air with Christ.
This is the rapture. After this momentous event the antichrist will try and destroy Israel once and for all.
Notice, I said he would "try."
After seven years of tribulation Christ will not just come to the atmosphere but He will actually return to planet earth with all His saints and stomp the devil's head in!
Praise God. Ours is a bright and glorious future reigning with our King Jesus Christ!
We will see our loved ones again.
Pain will be gone.
Tears will be dry.
Joy overfloweth!
Oh Happy Day!

Recession Proof
One would have to either be a fool or dishonest to say the world is not going through a recession or even a depression.
However, that doesn't mean you have to participate.
You see, if you are a blood bought child of the most High God your economy is not dependent upon the world's economy.
It is dependent only upon God's Word and His principals.
There is no need for you, as a believer, to panic or let the doomsayers shake your faith.
Just stand on the Word!
Psalm 34:9-10 (King James Version) 9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Either God's Word is true or it isn't. If it is, and it is, then can have confidence that what the Word says you will have you will have.
1. You will not want. Praise God. You stand on that promise. When the devil tries to rub your nose in circumstances you give it back to him good, "Devil. I am a saint of the Lord. There is no want in my life because the Word says so and that settles it. So get out of the way of my prosperity!
2. You shall not want any good thing. Poverty is not good. Not having home, a job, a nice car, good clothes, an abundant supply of money, and not enjoying life are not good things.
God wants you to have good things!
Get that settled in your spirit.
He wants you to have a good job with good benefits.
He wants you to have a nice car that doesn't break down every two days.
He wants you to have nice clothes, a nice home your family is secure in.
He wants you to live better than the rich drug dealer in his fancy home bought with the devil's money.
You just have to receive by faith. Take God at His Word and walk through every open door that comes your way.
And praise Him every step of the way!

God's Got Your Back!
The devil will come along and whisper in your ear "You are all alone."
As you listen to his airy voice his passion gets stronger as he continues, "Where is God in all of this mess? If you are going to make it it will be by luck. Only you can determine if you will make it out of this mess intact. Not God."
Friend, don't listen to him. He is lying to you.
You are not alone and that is what you need to speak out loud to that deceiver of old.
Don't let the devil's word penetrate your spirit.
No!
Instead, you break the devil's attack by speaking God's Word into his ear!
Psalm 34:7 (King James Version) 7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them
Every believer has angels dispatched around them.
You have your very own Angel. Did you know that.
Your Angel is sent by God to protect you from the enemy.
You put your Angel into action by speaking the Word of God!
You are not alone. Great Angelic hosts are around you at this very moment waiting for a Word of Faith spoken from your lips to be their marching orders.
What are you waiting for? Give them their orders.

Renew Your Mind
Your faith walk is going to be extremely difficult if you rely upon your own reasoning.
You see, God does not see things the way we do. We are confined to our senses.
God is not.
If you and I want to maximize our faith walk we must renew our minds daily.
Ephesians 4:22-23 (Amplified Bible)22Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; 23And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],
It is imperative that we renew our mind with the Word of God each and every day. This is the only way we will begin to see ourselves as God sees us.
When your mind is renewed with the Word of God outside circumstances will not toss you to and fro.
A bad report from the doctor will not get you planning your funeral.
Bad economic news will not drive you over the edge.
Why?
Your mind has been renewed by the ever living all powerful Word of the Living God.
You see how He sees.
You begin to decree the Word over your life.
“I am firmly founded in the Rock. My body is healed by the stripes of Jesus. All my needs are met and My Father takes pleasure in my prosperity.”
When the world screams panic you calmly declare “Peace, be still.”
You have the mind of Jesus Christ now!
Every thought you have and every word you utter must be in line with the Word.
Do this and the devil’s playground will be closed for good!

God's Program For Church Growth
Christian magazine after Christian magazine contains ads boasting the latest church growth program.
Mainly they take secular business growth models and incorporate them into a church setting.
The truth is the most effective strategy for growing the Church is found in the Bible.
It is preaching the Word with signs and wonders following to confirm the Word.
We read in the book of Acts the following.
Acts 5:14 (King James Version) 14And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
What caused multitudes of men and women to be added to the Church?
Was it a slick slogan?
Was it a seeker sensitive message?
Was it a food and clothing program?
Let's go back a few scriptures and see what led to this great growth.
Acts 5:12 (King James Version) 12And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people
It was the Word being confirmed with signs and wonders.
"But, Mace that was only Apostles that God used to do miracles."
That is not what the Bible says.
Over and over we have looked at Mark 16:17-18 where Jesus said a sign of a believer would be speaking in tongues, casting out devils and the LAYING ON OF HANDS to heal the sick. Those are His words.
He did not say it was only Apostles. Only believers.
A perfect example of this is Stephen. He was not a disciple. He was not even in the five-fold ministry.
Look what the Bible says about this layman.
Acts 6:8 (King James Version) 8And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
He was full of faith and power. The power came from the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
If we want our church's to grow and reach a lost world we must preach the Word with boldness and power and expect God to confirm the Word with signs following.
The world is waiting for us.
