Author: Frank W. Nelte In the English version of the Bible the name “Lucifer” appears only one time–in Isaiah 14:12.

The Difference Between Condemnation and Conviction

Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” This scripture is a wonderful, freeing, life-giving promise for all Christians.

The Weapons of Our Warfare

In my previous letter, I pointed out that when we become Christians, we are automatically involved in a vast spiritual war that spans both heaven and earth.

The Incredible Worth of a Woman

A prophetic word One emphasis of the Spirit is to restore honor to women in the kingdom. In my opinion, women have been the largest, most diligent, and effective work force in the kingdom throughout history, and mothers are the most successful in making disciples.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us:  for we are not ignorant of his devices” (II Cor. 2:11).
