Getting to the Root of Jealousy
The Spirit of Jealousy is one of the most deceptive and many-faceted demonic forces with which
we have to deal. I had actually been dealing with this demon for over a decade before I actually
recognized it. It was extremely helpful to get past the surface manifestations and get down to
the root.
The learning curve began when a friend of mine called Plumbline soliciting prayer support for their
ministry. My friend is the head of an American ministry that was facilitating the work of a ministry
from Israel. The Israelis were coming to the States to do a tour of twenty- two different cities to share
their vision and to raise funds. Before they got to the first city, three people had heart attacks in quick
succession. All three people were related to either the ministry or to those preparing for […]

This is just the way God made me.  Have you ever said that yourself or heard someone else say it?  Sometimes it’s true, but sometimes it’s not!  It’s true God made me tall even though I used to hate being tall.  I know some folks who are upset that God made them short!  In either case, or in any case, when we resent the way God made us, we are in spiritual rebellion to Him and that is a problem for us and for our relationship with Him!

Years ago, a friend of ours heard the late Jack Frost teach on this subject. She then came for a visit with Gerri and I.  That first evening she asked me a question.  She said, “Roger, if you were in Heaven before you were born and Father God said, ‘son I need […]

Without God humanity is to be most pitted because without Him our ability to live life at the supernatural level He designed is impossible!  We are thus relegated to war with flesh, the devil, and human depravity for as long as we live!  Father’s design and His heart’s desire for us is a much brighter picture than the one we create for ourselves!  Idolatry runs rampant in all its various forms driving, driving, driving without satisfaction. He created us to need Him and only Him.  Substitutes need not apply!

I was awake in the night last night and I started to think about how God created us.  We have needs in order to survive and flourish. We need oxygen, water, food and love!  That is, we need clean air, pure water, healthy food, and pure love in order to prosper […]

In our first book Glory Stories we published a story in Chapter 22 titled The Hotel.  We now have a new glory story regarding the hotel where we currently have a one bedroom apartment.

With Father’s instructions not to sign another lease agreement when we left our last home in August 2020, little did we know that Father was taking us on another ‘hotel journey!’  He’s spoken clearly to us over all the years of ministry that each place He’s taken us was an assignment from Him.  So, remembering that word, when we landed in our current place, we asked Him, “Father, what is the assignment you have for us here at Towneplace by Marriott.”  His answer to that question was that we were to begin praying for the management and the staff here at the hotel.  We began […]

The following article by Lauren Green was published on Fox New today.  We thought it important to share.

For religious leaders, the war in Ukraine is a top concern. For faith leaders in media, this conflict is not just about politics. Dirk Smith is one of the thousands of faith leaders in media who met last week in Nashville, Tennessee, for the National Religious Broadcasters convention.  He says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a simple spiritual matter.

“It’s good versus evil … It is not Russians versus Ukrainians,” Smith says. “The Russian people — they don’t want this.”

Smith heads EEM (Eastern European Ministry), an organization that has supplied millions of Bibles to Ukraine’s public schools.   Yes, Ukraine’s public schools — because the Ukrainian government has recognized the value of teaching the Good Book to young, impressionable minds.

The relationship gives Smith insight into […]

“I’ve seen days of sorrow in my lifetime when the light of day my burdens seemed to hide.  But in every situation, I was learning that the beauty of sorrow is the joy on the other side.  Thank God for sorrow.  Thank God for pain.  Thank God for troubles so hard they brought me back to Jesus again.  I’ve learned through sorrow in Him to abide ‘cause the beauty of sorrow is the joy on the other side.  Jesus was called a man of sorrows.  He suffered pain and grief ‘til He died.  He patiently endured the cross ‘cause the beauty of sorrow is the joy on the other side.”
Music and lyrics by Jerry White.

I recorded this song many years back because it has greatly spoken to my heart over the years.  I sang it when my […]

I don’t know how many of you have read our eBook, titled “The Many Faces of Spiritual Rebellion” but I just got another wonderful gift of revelation from Holy Spirit about this subject, and I want to share it with you.  I was sitting here in our hotel room watching gold and I started to think about me and how many other of God’s kids resent something about how Father created us!  For me, I always resented being tall!  Because of fear, guilt, and shame I always wanted to hide!  Standing out in a crowd was the last thing I wanted, so I resented my place in life!  At the time, I didn’t realize I was in spiritual rebellion to God because He created me tall.  That kind of rebellion can be a major roadblock in our relationship […]

Some of you know that we are triune beings, but maybe you don’t give it much priority.  Maybe it’s time you dig a little deeper into your spirit’s possibilities and reap the blessings Father has designed for you.  As a born-again child of the Most High God, you belong in the Spirit realm with Him.  Those that are not born again don’t have that privilege.  However, unsaved people can participate in the Spirit realm with satan if they so choose.  But that is a self-defeating decision.  Your spirit deserves and requires attention to gain leadership in your life.  When you focus on what your flesh and the world have to offer to satisfy your love hunger, you are barking up the wrong tree!  Only Father can satisfy your love hunger!  Don’t lie to yourself and say you don’t have […]

Do you believe you can have sin in your life and not see it or know it?  Gerri and I can answer that question with a resounding ‘YES’!  Having recently received a wonderful love gift from Father exposing sin in our lives that we didn’t see, we were totally surprised by the revelation and truly grateful to Him that our sanctification continues.  As usual His gift came wrapped in love, not judgment or criticism.

Because of this experience I began thinking about this issue of sin unseen and how many of us are adversely affected by it.  Do we believe we still have sin?  Do we care?  Are we comfortable with ourselves as we are today, or are we hungry for more of God?  Could unseen sin be a hindrance to the depth and quality of our relationship with God?  […]

In interacting with some people about my last post on All Heaven Applauds, I realized I had left out something that’s incredibly important that will help you deal with people who lie about you to discredit you.  I’ve added it to the original post, but I also wanted to call attention to it here as well for those who already read the original post.

After learning to forgive, this may be the toughest one. Just remember, these are not things you can do on your own, but as we take our pain and grief to Father, he can teach us how to genuinely walk in these realties. It will take time to find real freedom here, just continue to give him access to your heart and your feelings as his love overwhelms the pain and leads you to the joy […]

A partner with PITFH sent the following article to us from Wayne Jacobsen.  We thought it was a great one and wanted to share it with our Blog Friends.
Blessings,
Roger and Gerri

Have you ever been the victim of a well-placed lie? Did it cost you valuable relationships because someone spread rumors about you that others believed were true?

If you have, you’re not alone. Treachery and deceit are an ever-present undercurrent of the human story. Some people think nothing of fabricating stories, exaggerating details, and spreading rumors to get what they want. I know many people who have been shattered by it, and once a lie takes hold, there’s no way to dislodge it from people who need the lie to be true.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. The Bible is full […]

Elisha models for us a core strategy for this season of turbulence.

Phase 1.     When Elijah called him to the ministry, he was plowing with 12 yokes of oxen.  In other words, he was running an agribusiness.  It is impressive that they had many servants, plows and cattle after three years of drought.  Obviously, it was an extremely well-run agribusiness.

Phase 2.     He served Elijah and saw a lot of interesting things stemming from the power of God Elijah had.  Elisha ended up acquiring a measure of that asset.

Phase 3.     He used that divine power as a one-man spy agency to utterly frustrate King Ben-Hadad of Syria and to maintain some border security for Israel by limiting Ben-Hadad’s depredations.

Phase 4.     God switched off the power for an extended period of time, shut down the schools of prophets, unleashed the fury of Ben-Hadad, and […]

The choice of your associations will determine your destinations.

The coronavirus has made this point drastically clear. Viruses, illnesses, attitudes, and wisdom can all be taught and caught. Even someone with great character and self-esteem can be led astray by bad associations. The Bible warns us, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’” (1 Corinthians 15:33, NIV)

One principle I can talk about for hours is the importance of choosing the right business partners, spouses, teachers, coaches, and friends. I believe in the power of associations. John Maxwell said, “Show me your friends and the books you read, and I’ll show you your destination in five years.” Wow!

Can you see the importance of choosing the right people for your life? Have you ever chosen the wrong friendships or business partners? Have you ever caught a virus or the flu from […]

HE WEPT

This is a true story. It happens often each day, but today it is my story told from the Heavenly perspective of an early morning vision given February 2, 2022.
In vision, I see the Sheep Path and many are walking down this road together with Father. There is joy and contentment on this road among the travelers. They are safe as they walk hand in hand with Him enjoying the peace and rest that obedience brings. Suddenly there appears the voice of the enemy whispering his lies and inviting them to come and walk with him as he promises things that look amazing. They weaken and veer off Sheep Path and onto Goat Road. They have been lured away from Father and now they walk alone for it was not what they thought it would be. […]

I called myself a Christian for seventeen years before I discovered I could have a truly personal relationship with God. Prior to this, I certainly knew Him as God and I definitely knew Him as my Savior. I didn’t, however, really know Him as my Father, and walking with Him as a friend wasn’t even in the field of view. Satan and his team, with lots of help from religion, have painted God as a very distant, non-relational being. If thought of at all, our Creator is primarily considered the Judge or, in times of crisis, a possible but unlikely means of help. Our adversary is nothing if not a very skilled deceiver.

The thought of friendship with God is more than simply intriguing to me. It messes with me! It tugs at my heart and calls out to me. […]

In this New Year, new life is available to any and all who will pursue it.  Father God has made provision and revelation available if you are willing to put in the work necessary.  So if you care about your relationship with God, your relationship with yourself, your relationship with your family, your health, your purpose and destiny in God, then with the utmost urgency I give this advice:  invest yourself deeply and honestly into the writings of Dr. Henry W. Wright.  Father has gifted this Pastor with deep, intense revelation that has the potential to set the Body of Christ free from sickness and disease and our personal strongholds. 
Many of us in the Body have little hope of healing because we have prayed and prayed and prayed and had others pray for us with little to no success.  In […]

Friday night I was sitting at home relaxing when I received a call from a friend, one I haven’t spoken with in quite some time. It was nice catching up. During the conversation, she began to share with me an experience she had recently had with the Lord, one that absolutely captured my heart and ministered to my soul. I want to share it with you today and share some of the things the Lord showed me through this.

My friend had been going through a very difficult time, there had been many challenges with people and things in her life, she was quite weary. She decided to go into her room, the room where she often spent intimate time with God. Her plan was to go into her room, close the door and pray and worship God. That was […]

Hello Roger and Gerri,
Yesterday my nephew and his wife stopped by to visit on their way to Knoxville, TN. Mary noticed Roger’s painting and commented on how beautiful it is. That opened the door for me to share how we came to get the painting. Of course, I had to start with my healing when Gerri laid hands on me and prayed. Then I told how you had to leave the church and moved away. We too, moved away but we stayed in touch. They were touched by how God brought us back together during a fall festival street fair in Jackson. I told them of your ministry. They too have a ministry! Both are recovered addicts and minister to others trying to heal. Reggie discovered Jackson did not have a “celebrate recovery program” so with the help of […]

When was the last time you paused, looked in the mirror and took a personal inventory?  Is that a pleasant thought?  If not, why not?  Your response to my question may be the first indicator that you have a need!  It is my understanding and belief that we, as God’s kids, should always be in transition from our life of death, flesh, and the world to our new life of love, spirit, and Heaven!  In other words, we should always be in transition from self-centeredness to being God-centered!  In order to do that we must be bold and sincere to confront those attitudes, beliefs and actions that are ungodly and bring them to the Cross of Christ where they can be defeated, releasing us to take another step into our new life as a Child of the Most High […]

It’s unfortunate and downright deplorable how so-called “Christians” willfully participate in the celebration of Halloween. This year (2021), Halloween falls on a Sunday, which will increase congregational support of this demonic holiday. I’m sure there’ll be pastors and church leaders who disagree with me concerning this article and will boldly rebut involvement in this pagan holiday. They will boast how their ministry offers an alternative to Halloween, such as harvest festivals, Hallelujah Night and trunk-or-treat events—implying that what they’re doing has no connection whatsoever to the traditional practices of the holiday. For years I’ve had leaders debate me over this subject, stating that there’s nothing wrong with a ministry hosting the events mentioned earlier as an alternative to Halloween, as long as the costumes are appropriate.

Dealing With Mother Issues

Our ability to receive and give love is the true test of the depth of our relationship with God.  Because we were created for God’s love and created in His image (love), love is totally essential to us as human beings.  Nothing should come more natural than our ability to receive love and to express it to others.

Mothers are our first connection to love, bonding, and relationships.  During the nine months spent in the womb and throughout the first two years of life, the mother figure is the most important figure in a child’s life, strongly influencing the child by the way she nurtures and expresses affectionate love.

Yet Thou art He who didst bring me forth from the womb; Thou didst make me trust when upon my mother’s breasts. Upon […]

Father says that life is love and love is life.  Therefore, if we master love we can then master life.  To me this means I must master love in order to experience life to its fullest potential.  Like it or not, Father has designed the only pathway that will lead us to life’s full potential and He is that pathway.  He is love and the only true source of love available to mankind.  If we are to master love, we must have the empowerment of His grace at work in us to dethrone self and in humility become God centered.  Supernatural encounters with Father, Son and Holy Spirit will strengthen our resolve, our commitment, our determination to become the supernatural child of God that we were created to be.  Those supernatural encounters with God are in reality supernatural encounters […]
