The Holy Spirit's ministry is crucial in all its dimensions, and we must not treat prophecies with contempt, even if they seem unusual or come from unexpected sources. We must weigh and evaluate prophetic words, test them by the Word of God, and be guided by the Spirit's witness in our lives. [... more]

When done correctly, fasting can cause our voice to be heard on high, leading to extraordinary breakthroughs and spiritual growth. It's not about earning something from God, but about separating ourselves from the world and focusing on Him. [... more]

Dealing Radically With the Sins of the Flesh

What Does it Mean He Came to Fulfill?

Jesus' words in the Sermon on the Mount, particularly in Matthew 5:17-20, have been misunderstood by some as abolishing the law and prophets. However, Jesus is actually fulfilling the law and bringing it to its highest meaning. He takes the moral commandments of the Torah to their fullest meaning, and his death on the cross accomplishes certain things, including giving us a new and better covenant. Jesus is not saying that Gentile believers must observe all the laws of the Torah, but rather that we must live by his righteousness, which surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law.
