God says, "My people perish for the lack of knowledge…" (Hosea 4:6). Many in the body of Christ are suffering due to the lack of knowledge and the rejection of knowledge. God offers us freedom from fear, anger, lying, cheating, sexual perversion, addictions, depression, mental problems, misery, meanness, selfishness, hurt, pain, grief, sadness, sickness…etc and a overcoming life. Yet, many people in the church just hang in there, being overcome and overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, rather than experiencing victory. People are blind to their great need for repentance and deliverance. Jesus is the deliverer and works through deliverance ministers in many places, but the truth of deliverance is being rejected.

Because of false doctrines being taught in the church, like sheep to the slaughter, people in the church are being led to believe that being saved by grace is a license to sin. This falsehood allows them to keep all their excess baggage. The Word says in Hebrews 12:14, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord?" Galatians 5:19 says, "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." In this passage, it is not speaking of a one-time sin but a habit, a custom and a life-style.

A. W. Tozer said, "The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel too much at home in the world. Religion today is not transforming people; rather, the people are transforming it. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society's own depraved level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender."

There is more to salvation than what is being experienced. Jesus said in John 10:10, "I have come that you might have life and have it MORE ABUNDANTLY." If you are not experiencing it, God wants to show you why. Ask Him!

I am deeply grateful for those of you who continue to support our ministry with your financial gifts and prayers. We need your help, as well as your prayers. God has been faithful to meet our every need. May each seed sown into this ministry be multiplied and returned to you a million times over. 2 Cor. 9:8 says, "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed."
