I'm sure you're familiar with the popular-made-comical, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

What is Faith without Works?
The Lord has been speaking to me heavily about "Faith without works is dead" in James 2; and how He wants His children to have the full assurance of understanding (Colossians 2:2) about the works He is referring to. Society deems works as things like putting in a lot of hours on the job, setting goals and striving to reach them, pounding the pavement to achieve one's dreams or even doing "good deeds". While those may be practical steps involved, believers should understand that the world's idea of working hard is not the Lord's ways.
Victory is Available, but It's Not a Given
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is still being debated. This message isn't to debate; as some will receive and some won't, but my prayer is that it will shed some light on the importance of this free gift God has for His children. For those of you who WILL receive it; your lives will be radically changed for the best!
Paul's Thorn in the Flesh was Not Sickness
I can hear the wheels spinning already. Your mind is screaming, "Sickness! It's sickness! It has to be sickness!" This is the scripture verbatim, in 2 Corinthians 12:7, "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure."
