The Song of Moses and of the Lamb

By Francis Frangipane Within the boundaries of the physical universe there is perhaps nothing so accessible to the spiritual realms as music. It is a bridge media, capable of transporting the human soul through the invisible gateways of time and space. Indeed, who...

Firewalk

By Francis Frangipane Jesus’ walk was neither painless nor effortless, and yours will not be either. Perhaps our minds cannot envision the Son of God facing any “real problems,” such as we face. We know He calmed the sea, but we are also told He...

Army of Worshipers

By Francis Frangipane When the Scriptures refer to the “heavenly host,” we usually think of “choirs of angels.” The word “host” in the Bible meant “army” (Josh. 5:13–14). It is an important truth: the hosts of Heaven are...

A Heart Without Guile

By Francis Frangipane The promised land for a Christian is a life lived in the fullness of Christ. Just as there was an exodus of the Jews from Egypt, so there is an exodus for our human souls, where we leave our bondage to self-deception and truly enter the reality...

Declaring War On Ungratefulness and Grumbling

By Francis Frangipane From my earliest Christian years I’ve heard questions about Jesus’ comment concerning Judas Iscariot: “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?” (John 6:70). What did Jesus mean? Was Judas...

One of You Is a Gossip

By Francis Frangipane A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends. —Proverbs 16:28 (ESV) Jesus made a remarkable statement concerning Judas. He said, “‘Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?’ Now...

His Righteous Right Hand

By Francis Frangipane A Dream: I was in an airport waiting for a delayed flight when a group of men invited me to join their card game. Although in real life I would be uncomfortable playing cards for money, in the dream I not only joined them, but I was soon winning...

At the Threshold of Glory

By Francis Frangipane Before Jesus comes to be glorified in the Earth, He is coming to be glorified in the church. Our salvation grants us more than just church membership and a conservative perspective. We have, in truth, become one with Christ. The Lord Jesus is our...

“For Dreams to Come True”

By Francis Frangipane Just because we walk and talk does not mean we are truly awake. Zechariah was not sleeping when an angel roused him “as a man who is awakened from his sleep” (Zech. 4:1). Perhaps we too need to be shaken from our slumber to possess...

A Thankful Man is a Humble Man

By Francis Frangipane If you think you know God but do not live your life in gratitude before Him, it is doubtful that you really knew Him in the first place. A thankful heart honors God. Too often when people say they “know God,” what we actually mean is...

A Thankful Heart

By Francis Frangipane The very quality of your life, whether you love it or hate it, is based upon how thankful you are toward God. It is one’s attitude that determines whether life unfolds into a place of blessedness or wretchedness. Indeed, looking at the same...

Taking Every Thought Captive

By Francis Frangipane While we may find comfort in being Christians, being a Christian has not made us perfect. There are still many strongholds within us. Therefore, let us identify some of these spiritual fortresses. Rare is the Christian who is not limited by at...

A House Made of Thoughts

By Francis Frangipane There are satanic strongholds over countries and communities, and there are strongholds that influence churches and individuals. Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a demonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically, it is a house made of...

Legal Protection

By Francis Frangipane Approximately two thousand years ago a decree was issued at the judgment seat of Almighty God. It provided “legal” protection for the church against the devil. Indeed, when Jesus died for our sins, the “ruler of this...

Vote For the Anointing

By Francis Frangipane To obtain conformity to Christ means we are seeking to serve God with the very same character, purpose and empowerment (or “anointing”) that was revealed in Jesus. Yet, Christlikeness is not something we mimic, but a life that flows...
