Taking the Land, Part 59

One of the most often repeated teachings in recent times has been centered on the biblical prophecies which state that the wealth of the wicked will be given to the righteous. The prophecies actually go further than this and state that the wealth of the nations will be brought to the righteous...

Taking the Land, Part 55

As we discussed last week, the Lord had the legal authority to bind the devil and take authority over the earth immediately after His resurrection. However, He did not do this for our sakes. He did not bind the devil because He did not want it to be easy for us. The more difficult the training, the...

Taking the Land, Part 53

As I have repeated, this study is intended to be a broad perspective that connects history to prophecy, the past to the present to the future. When I was a new Christian more than thirty-five years ago, I felt compelled to study church history. I wanted to understand what God had done so that I...
