We are being severely tested between walking in the fear of the Lord or giving in to the fear of man. We are being shaken to the very foundations of what we believe and why. As some major leaders in the Charismatic church are being exposed for either sexual immorality, fraudulent practices, or abusive leadership, everyone is having to grapple with the fallout. Everyone is feeling the pain. But we have to remember - this isn’t a personality contest. And it’s not about whether we believe in the gifts of the Spirit or if God can actually do miracles. The Word has already settled those truths.

What’s at stake is the standard by which live. What’s at stake is our collective witness in the power of a righteous life. Do we actually believe what the Word says about godly character and integrity? Do we actually believe in the core values of honesty, truthfulness, and purity of life and conduct? Do we truly embrace the standard set for God’s leaders and believe that they have been called to live out these standards as models to those they serve? Do we believe in the blessing of accountability and the need for godly correction?

If so, then this isn’t about defending a well-known minister. It isn’t about proving that someone's anointing is real or their gifts are of God. It’s about holding to those values and truths that we know are necessary if we are to rightly reflect Christ. It’s about holding fast to those godly principles and character qualities that give us power over the enemy and yield the greatest glory for our God. As much as we love and cherish the supernatural gifts of God, His greater priority has always been the heart.

If we truly believe in these virtues and walk in the fear of God, there is no debate. There should be no second-guessing as to what God desires or even expects of those He calls and anoints. If any leader or minister does not abide by the simple standards already set forth in God’s Word concerning a life of purity, holiness, and honor before the Lord, they are not only defrauding God’s people, but defaming God’s Name. They have become blinded by their own ego and are now leading others into a pit.

We have been praying for the fear of the Lord and we must now choose it. This is not about defending any man or ministry.
It’s about standing true on what’s already been settled.
It’s about laying down our idols and the fear of man, and choose what is right.

"Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God." (2 Corinthians 7:1)

Thankful that one of the leaders in the Charismatic movement is making a public statement acknowledging the abuses of Shawn Bolz. I pray some of her peers follow her example in taking a stand for righteousness, regardless of the cost. (Posted on her X account)

HE HAS NO GRIP!

In worship today a line was sung about death having no grip on me. It struck a chord in my heart as the finality of that statement sunk in. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, not only does death have no grip; it also means that sickness and disease have no grip. Having gone through some extreme physical attacks in the past two years and now walking in renewed health and strength, I was brought to tears in thankfulness. I was now experiencing this reality and my faith was stirred.

Then we took communion. As I was reminded about the power of His body and blood, I was so grateful to celebrate this incredible gift. As I was taking all this in, I then saw in my spirit a picture of this transfer happening in real time. As I took in His body and blood, it began to pour out like oil that poured from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. In acknowledging the power of His absolute victory over the enemy, the oil of His Spirit was now covering my entire being. And then I remembered the earlier reminder that death has no grip!

I had to laugh as I saw this unfold. This is the power of the cross when we apply it. Because of the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, the enemy has nothing to hold onto. We are so covered by this oil, he doesn’t have any way to attach himself to us as he literally has no grip!

Be encouraged, saints! Regardless of what you are going through and the battles you may be facing, remember the power of the cross and apply it. What He purchased for us is a sure promise that brings the power of His Spirit and the oil of His presence. As a result, the enemy will lose his grip and you can declare the same words of Jesus, “The prince of this world is coming, but he has no hold on me!” (John 14:30)

“Reform” = “to change into an improved form or condition; to improve by removal of faults or abuses; to abandon evil ways.”

There is a larger context that is happening among all these exposures in the Church. As much as we need to root out sin and immorality, there is a reformation taking place. A reformation of ideologies, doctrines of men, and faith practices that are being examined, “deconstructed,” and upgraded to a higher standard. This is actually a good thing.

I’ve spoken with several of those on the frontlines of this discussion and they have been compelled by something much bigger than simply “exposure.” They have a passion to see the purity of the gospel, biblical integrity, and personal holiness take precedence over objective experiences and power plays.

I do not delight in anyone’s downfall. Nor do I look for sin in order to expose it. My desire is to love the Lord above all else, follow His leading, and be faithful to the call. What happens, however, is that when one decides to go after the real thing, the counterfeits become much more apparent. That which pretends to be righteous but is not, becomes clear.

Thus, the best way to move forward is to keep our eyes fixed on Him. When we fear Him more than men and determine to honor His Word regardless of the cost, we can trust where He is taking us.

“So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.” (Ephesians 4:14-15 ESV)

Thanks for everyone’s comments and feedback on my last post about Paula White. There’s no question that the majority of Christians want a righteous standard represented in the White House. Many have been grateful that President Trump created the Faith Office and has consistently invited in pastors and faith leaders to advise him. Those who have attended those meetings state how receptive he has been to biblical values and convictions. A far cry from previous presidents.


President Trump’s appointment of Paula White was no surprise given she had been a longtime friend and “personal pastor” for years (thank God he even had a pastor). And given his specific priorities for this faith office (to protect religious liberty), he was not looking for just a figure head. No doubt, he felt she was an obvious choice. That said, I did a little more digging and understand why some of you feel she needs to be removed altogether. (Many on my Facebook page felt she should be totally disqualified from any ministry). The truth is, there are numerous advisors close to the President that need to be removed. This administration is still rife with moles and counterfeits.


As I considered this, I was led back to President Trump. Regardless of White’s questionable qualifications for this position, it was President Trump who appointed her. And he’s the one that will have to see the need for any change (unless the Lord removes her on His own). But this is probably where our prayers are best targeted. To continue to pray that this president will have a deeper revelation of exactly WHY God’s hand redirected that bullet in Butler, PA.


President Trump may be a great international diplomat and savvy economic genius, but until he fully embraces his call to champion a righteous standard in this nation, his legacy will be short lived and God’s purposes for his tenure will be incomplete (nothing is automatic - he still needs prayer to fulfill his assignment!) Let’s pray his heart and mind are opened to a deeper and more personal faith in Christ. And let’s pray that his eyes and ears are opened to recognize those in his midst who are not headed in that same direction.

I want to update my thoughts about Paula White. People have been asking.

When Paula was first appointed to President Trump’s WH Faith Council, I had shared a post (on my Facebook page) from the X platform written by another pastor who worked directly with her during Trump’s first term. The firsthand account revealed many good qualities about her leadership during that term and this pastor was giving his endorsement concerning her role and responsibilities. I had mentioned my own decision to support Trump’s choice based on corroborating reports of Paula’s collaboration with other pastors who are biblically solid. I was ready to give her a chance.

Since her most recent announcement of asking for donations during Easter with promises of angelic assistance, long life, and freedom from sickness, it has only stirred more controversy surrounding her appointment. I’ve seen the headlines and watched the appeal. No, it’s not a good look. Her financial appeal is not appropriate or even in touch with the broader evangelical base of the Church. I was disheartened to see it. In the article written by The Christian Post, Paula stated that she doesn’t believe in the prosperity gospel the way people think: “I do not believe in the 'prosperity gospel' as I've been accused of believing it," she told CP. "I do believe that all good things come from God, and I also believe that God teaches us so much through our suffering.”

Interestingly, just last week I spoke with another well-known leader in the Charismatic Church who shared she still firmly believes in the prosperity gospel. But when she started detailing what that meant to her, I found that I actually believed a lot of the same principles. I believe that God is an abundant Father who does not want us to live in poverty. I believe in sowing and reaping and my husband and I have seen the power of giving when it’s unto the Lord. I believe God wants me to “prosper.” I ended up telling this leader that though I likely agree with many of the scriptural principles she cited, I would not use the term “prosperity.” It carries too many triggers and is associated with misuse of funds and greed. Perhaps what started (decades ago) as a revelation of God’s goodness and abundance, has turned into a money-making scheme and manipulative ideology that most believers want nothing to do with. We definitely need some new terminology and better practices when it comes to money and ministry.

Paula has also been affirming Mother Moon in recent years which suggests alignment with false gods and even the occult. Given her high profile in political circles, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it is for optics and diplomatic leverage. Even so, I too am troubled by her affirmation of some specific practices and beliefs associated with this cult. But at this point I’m not sure that Paula has intentionally deceived everyone in order to bring curses on the White House. I do believe there is an unhealthy mixture and that she is not acting in godly wisdom. Nor is she speaking for the majority of Christians in this nation.

Bottom line is that I agree we need to stay alert and pray for both Paula and this faith council. I’ve had enough contact up close with some of these groups to know how much political posturing there is in those circles - even among “faith leaders.” As I said the last time, the reformations needed in leadership are going to take time. Let’s pray that those leaders who are pure in heart as well as sound in biblical doctrine, would have the loudest voices and carry the most weight when it comes to making faith-based decisions for the nation. And let’s pray that Paula would be able to shed some old practices and gain some new perspective and conviction regarding the core tenets of faith that are non-negotiable for anyone who claims to be a follower of Christ.

The Lord reminded me this morning of the importance of LISTENING…

“The ear that listens to life-giving reproof will dwell among the wise. Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence. The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.” (Proverbs 15:31-33 ESV)

How we incline our ear to correction will determine our capacity for truth.
Refusing to hear opposing ideas or challenging truths will only limit our ability to rightly discern.

Perhaps the greatest test of our spiritual maturity isn’t whether or not we have all the answers, but how ready we are to listen to others who think differently without being offended.
