When someone in a less-developed country takes on the name of an Old Testament prophet or patriarch, you can be certain of two things.
- They weren’t preached the Gospel.
- They are trying to live under a covenant that has been done away with.
We have a greater power and the results of a better covenant than any Old Testament patriarch or prophet could have dreamed of.

God’s will is not automatically done.
God is not willing that people perish. People Perish.
God wants everyone healed. People aren’t all healed.
God wants everyone free from oppression of the Devil. People stay oppressed.
Even Jesus had a choice and said, “Not my will, but thine be done.”
You have been given dominion and authority over all the power of the enemy.
Will you use it?

God did not allow someone that you love to die an untimely death so that they might go to heaven before they fall from grace, or so their friends or family might come to salvation at the funeral.

FEAR cancels FAITH.
LOVE casts out FEAR.
FAITH worked by LOVE.
LOVE WINS.

The Law preached makes converts out of FEAR.
It enslaves people to LEGALISM.
Grace preached makes DISCIPLES out of LOVE that are FREE in Christ and operate in Kingdom power.

Being a SAINT or a SINNER isn’t about:
The curse words you speak.
The alcohol you consume.
The friends you hang out with.
The music you listen to.
The addictions you struggle with.
The wife/husband you choose to marry.
It’s about whether or not you allow God’s love and Christ’s life to live in you and through you to others.

Grace is a license NOT to sin.
