Every Sunday, Pastor Jack would say, “If you will grab hold of this message, it will change your life,” and we can all vouch that it did. Pastor Jack Ruth, or Pastor Jack, as we called him, and Peggy Joyce started Living Word Church in Brownwood, Texas. They pastored together from the '80s to “retirement” in the early 2000s. Jack’s childlike faith set the vision and foundation for the church and the Psalm 91 ministry that followed. At one of the recordings with Sid Roth where Peggy Joyce was ...

Are you aware of how the enemy attacks, and do you know how to respond? Most begin with a single thought that grows until eventually we end up overwhelmed, with out-of-control negative emotions. We must learn how the enemy traps us and how we can take our thoughts captive, bringing them into obedience to God’s Word.…

Most people have never been taught to believe for miracles. But miracles are simple. Just believe God's Word. If God's Word says it, believe it. It doesn't require a ritual or a bunch of religious steps to see a miracle. It's not a feeling. You don't feel faith. Faith is a choice. It's simply a choice to believe God's Word.…

Many believers are unknowingly involved in witchcraft, yet God is calling us out of witchcraft and idolatry. Being ignorant of what God's Word says about the occult is not an excuse. We must partner with God to root out all occult practices from our lives.Από τον Peggy Joyce Ruth

Don't ignore satan - answer him. When Satan sends thoughts our way, many times we ignore them instead of answering with the Word. The enemy's thoughts and temptations don't simply disappear by ignoring them. They continue to build until the enemy traps us. It is vital to answer the enemy with the Word until we get the victory.…

Don't lose the vision of giving. It is God's nature to give. Vision is from God. Fantasy is one step before failure. The most important thing about giving is our attitude when we give. It is important to expect when we give. When we give, we give to get, and then to give again. But if we give and hold on to it, that is what causes blessings to stop…

We are caretakers of the mysteries of God that are to be revealed in these end days. As believers, our faithfulness is under investigation. We are in a time where everything and everyone is being shaken. Consistency with what God is revealing to us is necessary to remain faithful to God.

There are times the enemy comes as a roaring lion, and times he comes as a serpent. In Corinthians 11:3, Paul says, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ." The enemy seeks to introduce deception into our lives. This battle begins in…

Are you in the middle of a storm? Storms come to steal our peace, but we can decide to hold on to our peace no matter the storm. Fear comes to tell us God doesn't care. Jesus calmed every storm while He walked the earth. God is never the one sending storms. God is our hiding place, our fortress in the midst of the storm. He is the one speaking, 'Pe…

Satan and bad angels are not all-powerful, but they can influence a person's thinking and emotions until we learn the enemy's schemes and the authority God has given us. Since his fall, Satan now peddles his merchandise of sin and rebellion to the unsuspecting and ignorant. He works through fear and self-will, pushing us to our "own" devices instea…

Was Judas evil from the beginning? Judas walked in the same authority as the other disciples. He seemed to walk by faith like all the other disciples. At the Last Supper, none of the disciples knew Judas was any different than them. So what was the difference? Even though Judas had been given authority over the enemy, he had unresolved issues in hi…

There are good and bad angels. Today, we are going to talk about the origin and goals of bad angels. Satan himself is an angel who fell from God's presence in heaven. Bad angels are spirit beings that don't have a physical body, but that doesn't make them any less real. We must recognize the enemy's schemes. If we remain ignorant, we will fall prey…

Proverbs 21:2 says. "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but Jehovah weighs the heart." When we don't intentionally seek God, we end up justifying our own actions. David justified not going to war in the Old Testament, just as many times we justify not doing spiritual warfare under the New Covenant. God wants to show us the things we don't…

We tend to seek to please men instead of seeking to please the Father. Jesus did not seek glory from men but from the Father, so that He could bring glory to the Father. Do you receive from God just for your own personal gain or to bring glory to the Father?Από τον Pastor Jack Ruth

How do we partner with God to bring His Word and will into reality? Sickness came on the earth by man's choice to sin. God created everything perfect in the Garden of Eden, and He now desires our lives to be completely redeemed, but it is not automatic. Through the blood of Jesus every part of our redemption has to be accepted and fully received. G…

Healing is a part of our covenant with God. We must be intentional in taking in the promises in the Word on healing. In Matthew 8:2-3, Jesus sets a precedent in the Word regarding healing. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am w…

What does the Word say on healing? For starters, the word Salvation means: health, healing, deliverance, protection, and provision. God's salvation offers us everything we will need in this life and in the life to come. The Word of God can be either a preventive medicine or a cure, depending on what we need at the time. When we need to work with Go…

How do we turn loose of fear and the world's thinking, and securely grab hold of God's promises? We must become like a child. We cannot approach Psalm 91 or the promises of God from adulthood.

God wants to use your life to fulfill His dreams. It is His Word and His presence that keep everything working around us. When we worship, miracles and provision simply happen in God's presence.

One of our priorities as Believers is to destroy the works of the devil. In 1 John 3:8 it says, "The Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil," and then in 1 John 4:17, it says, "In this world we are to be like Jesus." Now we cannot destroy the devil in our own reasoning or strength. We must remember we are in a spiritual battle, and it ta…

The world believes that intellectual knowledge is power, but that is part of Satan's plan to get us to worship our mind and intellect.

Are you aware of the call of God on your life? Every Christian has a full-time ministry in the Kingdom of God. Some know they have a calling and step into it too soon, and others are in the middle of their training, unaware they have been called.

Guilt is a weapon that comes against Christians. It is the subconscious need to be punished. When we have repented and put our sins under the blood of Jesus, God has forgotten our sins, but many times we have not. Guilt is not the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is not a burden God wants us to bear.…

If we have to see to believe, we already have a huge problem. Strangely, seeing miracles does not cause you to believe God. It is the Word that brings us to believe. You cannot build on signs and wonders alone, but if you build on the Word, the signs and wonders will follow.Από τον Pastor Jack Ruth

So many people go through life thinking they don't have a choice, "whatever will happen, and there is nothing you can do about it." But with God, this is not true. We have been given a choice.

It is easy to forget what is most important. Truly, everything in our Christian life flows from our relationship with God.

The closeness of drawing near to God is the…

We have the privilege of getting back up. No matter what we are facing or how bad it …

There is a creative power in your words. Our words partner with God's Word or the enemy's chatter. Our words not only impact our own lives but also the lives of our family and friends around us.

Don't get into fear when you hear the word predestination in the Bible. Everything God has planned for our lives is good, but we do reap what we sow.

The biggest step in walking out of manipulation is recognizing when we do it. And the best way to not be manipulated is to recognize when we are being manipulated.

The scary thing about deception is when you are deceived, you don't know you are deceived. If we want to know the truth badly enough, God will pull you out of the lies step by step.
