Extra Thoughts

These essays will be more like a random blog post of thoughts, that might not be–at the time–meant for a book, but might later on.

Recent Extra Thoughts.

  • The Power of God Is Here to Heal - In the Gospel of Luke, we encounter a powerful and vivid scene that perfectly illustrates divine authority in action: “One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with […]
  • Reclaiming What the Enemy Stole - You’ve asked a question that cuts right to the heart of the spiritual battle many believers face: how to recover what the devil has stolen, particularly in areas like health, family relationships, and finances. I appreciate that you did not put on the polished pretense some folks adopt when they’re hurting. That’s refreshing—no time for […]
  • Samson Is Honey On God’s Lips - Samson’ name is gravel in mouth of the faithless, but Samson is honey on God’s lips. The faithless have no redeeming qualities, because they make our enemies look enlightened.
  • Your Peace - When many seem to be fighting for all their lives to get peace, to find peace, to drive out the depression and stress and replace it with peace, Jesus offers an entirely different worldview.
  • The Vileness Of Cross-Centered Theology - To focus on a cross is to focus where Jesus is not. To focus on the throne, is to meet the very eyes of Jesus looking back at you.
  • The Gospel Is Jesus Sitting on a Throne - Welcome to the gospel. The real one. Not the one with a cross as the symbol. The one with a crown.
  • How to Authenticate You are a Moron - It's like advertising a feast with mouthwatering samples, only to serve up empty plates at the main event. The authentication would end up wielding more power than the finished atonement.
  • Claim Your Daily Bread - Paul makes it plain in Galatians 3:5: "He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you—does He do it by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?" Miracles are the norm for faith-filled heirs, as average as breakfast.
  • The Gospel is God Showing Off, Not Man - In the Lord's Supper, we witness God's extravagant generosity on full display—He pours out righteousness, healing, wealth, and peace without demanding a dime from us, as if to say, "Watch Me lavish My riches on you, because that's who I am."
  • Seeing Jesus Is Seeing The Father - Jesus told the crowds they were sinful. And yet, Jesus healed all of them, without qualification. If they asked, they got healed. Every single time. There was no exception to this. If you have seen Jesus, you have seen the God of creation. You have seen the Father. There is no other God but this God.
  • Receiving God’s Love #2 - God's love isn't a mere hug in the dark—it's the dawn blasting shadows to bits.
  • Being Amazed at Miracles Means What? - Let’s cut to the chase: if miracles leave you slack-jawed and wide-eyed, like you’ve just seen a unicorn trot down Main Street, then something’s off. Jesus didn’t perform signs and wonders to dazzle us into awe-struck paralysis. He did them to to make the supernatural as commonplace as your morning coffee. But in Mark 6, […]
  • God Made the Gospel First - Do you think it's God's will for me to eat this? Or did God create me so that He could pimp-slap my face with sugary fruit, and then deny it to my stomach?"
  • Your Blessed: Even If You’re in the Wrong - "God, even in my stumbling, Your Contract stands; rebuke the 'kings' in my path and pour out Your goodness."
  • Satan’s Sticky Fingers: Robbed of Speech - To claim Jesus as your priest while nursing a theology of deprivation is like hiring a chef who specializes in feasts and then settling for stale bread. It's not devotion; it's delusion.
  • If You Knew – You would Ask - The Samaritan woman's legacy isn't her past but her pivot to faith. And this is the greatest type of legacy; the legacy of faith. 
  • The Faithless: God is non-God - Ultimately, answered prayers glorify God, by affirming God is God.  They're necessary because He is. The faithless unanswered prayer doctrine affirm God is non-God.
  • Faith Eradicates Patience By Eradicating Troubles - The Scripture's focus on everyday troubles (not gospel persecution, mind you) isn't to stretch your patience like taffy until the storm passes—it's to obliterate the trouble altogether through faith
  • Grief as Doubt: A Fraudulent Theology of Unbelief - Grief ain't your faith's kryptonite unless you hand over the cape. The post's pity party is just emotional bait—don't bite. God's Word says faith flips the script on sorrow, turning tears into triumphs.
  • Identified with the Resurrected Christ, Not the Earthly Jesus - using Jesus' name by faith isn't cosplay—it's identification so profound that your request is as if Jesus Himself spoke it.
  • Your Words Always Carry Authority - It does not matter if you acknowledge your position of authority and power, because God in His mind thinks you are in a position of authority and power, and therefore, God will see to it personally that the words you speak will bring death or life to you.
  • I Will Never Send Anyone (Sickness) To Attack You - The argument God gives is simple. On the relative level, God did not send the trouble; therefore, when trouble comes to you, tell it to f@#k off.
  • Your Empty Pizza Box is the Real Trash. - When you order pizza, you insist on just the box—sure, it still has God’s logo on it, but it misses the cheesy point entirely. Your empty pizza box is the real trash.
  • God Will Give You a Heavenly High-Five - if you're wrestling with God for blessings like Jacob did, you will pin down a divine upgrade. Not only will you get a holy handout, but God will give you a heavenly high-five, because you have such a close relationship.
  • The Lie that You Only Need to be Still - The miracle happens, not when God moves, but when we move, and divide the waters in Jesus’ name.
  • Arthritus is How God Curses a Person - Don’t let demons gaslight you into keeping arthritis and weakness as an “aging badge.”
  • Tell It What You Want - When facing mountains in the material world, Jesus didn’t ask God for help but spoke directly to the problem. He then instructs the disciples to do the same.
  • Jesus Living In Our Hearts - If you see a person who is having their prayers answered with so many extra baskets of leftovers, they’re someone who knows and is experiencing God’s love; they’re experiencing Jesus Christ living in their heart in a powerful way, and by this, we know they have a strong inner man.
  • Tongues: The Ultimate Life Hack - when I was praying in tongues, I stopped operating under the curse and began to operate under the gospel of Abraham. I immediately received fruitfulness and increase.
  • What Does It Say? - Abraham named himself “Big Daddy” before the kid showed up, and God gave him a righteousness high-five.
  • Preaching is Casting Out Demons and Healing the Sick - Mark is defining the ministry of preaching, which is tied to bringing the Kingdom of God near, as preaching with miracles.
  • Force it Down My Throat - Waiting on some “will of God” to heal you, is no less insane than Adam begging God for food in the Garden.
  • The Correction of Righteousness - He is correcting our vision when we forget our royal status as co-heirs with Jesus. It’s a call to live boldly from that identity.
  • Send Freedom To The Oppressed - Acts 10:38, where he essentially says Jesus was Spirit-anointed for this exact mission. It's likely Peter's thinking of Isaiah 61 here, but instead of "set free the oppressed," he uses "healing" for "oppressed."
  • Cold Water on Their Fleshly Thoughts - To be carnally minded is death. What does it mean to be carnally minded? The word carnal is about the flesh. You can focus on the flesh in two ways. One is giving yourself over to its impulses like lust or anger; however, the other is more like empiricism. You use the flesh in a […]
  • Devil Dogmatics - Demon dogmatics are about withholding good things that belong to Christians.
  • Like A Limp Noodle - The Holy Spirit ain't just dropping this wisdom for giggles; He is saying we are too lazy or stupid to ask for miracles.
  • God Did Not Ask Or Consult Me -  It is about God and not me. This reality is God’s Playdough, and this is how God has shaped and made me.
  • Extra Baskets Left Over #3 - The idea of man working, only by his own power to provide for himself, was always a perversion of God’s creation.
  • Extra Baskets Left Over #2 - *17 In my experience, no matter how farfetched a heresy may seem, it almost always limits God. The only exception is if the doctrine directly takes glory that belongs to God and assigns it to man. Because God’s infinity, is well, infinite, and His sovereignty is direct and absolute, there is no bigger way to […]
  • It Is By Jesus’ Name & I Have That Name - “Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went […]
  • Destroy God’s Will by Obeying His Command - Found yourself born a sinner or sick? God might have set that up, but He's also handed you a "Get Out of Sickness Free card,” via faith. Not using it? That's like refusing to cash in on a winning lottery ticket.
  • Jesus Has Already Fixed You - If you are waiting for God to sovereignly heal you, then you will die that way.
  • The Age of Abraham’s Blessing - The book of Acts is about the Acts of Abraham’s children. It is the Age of Abraham’s blessing. It is the Age of the power of the Spirit and authority of Jesus Christ spoken by the lips of His children.
  • Sickness by Words, Healing By Words - We started with God opening His mouth to speak a curse on reality, which brought sickness into our bodies. But now in Jesus Christ, God has put His words and authority in our mouths. Thus, we remove sickness by opening our mouths and commanding the sickness to get out.
  • The Devil Is Making You Sick, Not God - In conclusion, if you're sick, blame Satan, for he is your unwanted health advisor. As a card-carrying member of the Jesus Club, you're commanded to kick Satan to the curb
  • They Were All Healed - Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were ALL HEALED. Acts 5:26 Tradition says only Jesus could heal everyone, but this is a lie coming from a false teacher. The bible says that Christians do the same. The foundation […]
  • All Things Are Possible for Man - From this premise, Jesus concludes by saying, “nothing is impossible for man.” Jesus is not talking about mere potential, but is saying with faith, anything you command will happen.
  • Sickness Is Satan’s Glory, Not God’s - The Arminians are wrong about God’s sovereignty. God does directly and absolutely control and predestine all things. However, this is about ultimate metaphysics, which the Bible only mentions a little, while it mostly talks about the human level. That is the level where God commands us, relates to us, and where we deal with things […]
  • Eschatology In A Nutshell - If someone sums up eschatology without baptism of the Spirit for power, they have no idea what they are talking about. Acts 1:6-8 NIV. “ Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit […]
  • The Will OF GOD is Irrelevant - The bible teaches that God has absolute and direct control over all things. He is the only real cause for all things, and there is no such thing as secondary causes. God is the metaphysical author of sin and evil. God has predestined all things by His own goals and choices, and decrees all reality […]
  • Point The Gun At Satan & Pull The Trigger - No analogy is perfect, but faith to heal is like God giving us a gun. No one says to themselves, “it is my power that blew up this apple, when I shot it.”  Rather, it is painfully obvious to all that the power was the gun powder and bullets. Yet, when a person shoots something […]
  • Jesus Was the Real Victim in this Story -  He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (Mark 4:40 NIV) Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” (Mark 5:36 NIV) The saying is true, you are either in faith or fear. Jesus puts these as opposites. He says, “only believe,” with no mixture of fear. He […]
  • My Power My Choice - Acts 3:4-6 NIV Then Peter said, “Look at us!”  ….what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. First. Peter said, “look at us.”  I thought we were to direct attention away from us and point to Christ? Why is Peter so focused on himself? Second. Peter says […]
  • You Said Something - There is nothing wrong in the statement, “I was once a sinner who was saved by grace.” However, if you stop there it is unbelief. The same gospel that saves is the same gospel that gives me a new identity in Jesus and baptizes me in the Spirit. Therefore, I am the righteousness of God. […]
  • The Bible Distinguishes The Elect From Reprobate Trash, By Praying In Tongues - Jude 1:18-21“In the end time there will be scoffers…”These…not having the Spirit.But you, building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God.” Jude says mockers (and this is a continuation of his condemnation of false teachers) do not have the Spirit, which is […]
  • Provoking the Jews with Jealousy - Paul first quotes (Rom. 10:19) “provoke them to Jealousy,” from Deuteronomy 32:21. This was Moses’ prophecy in how God was going to deal with Israel’s unfaithful heart. In Romans 11:11 and verse 14 Paul repeats this and says his plan to save the Jews is to provoke them to jealousy. This isn’t some cult leader. […]
  • Predestination & No Freewill: Means Healing, Speaking in Tongues & Miracles - “When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, who through the […]
  • Any Form of Cessationism is Anti-Christ - Mark Driscoll criticizes cessationism, but his position is still cessationism. Mark says that we can pray but it is determined by a case by case sovereign choice from God, even if we have faith. There are degrees of cessationism, but all forms deny the biblical doctrine of Expansionism (See Vincent Cheung for more); thus, all […]
  • Promise Verses For Faith - This is a list of promise verses that I almost daily go over to help direct my mind on faith and not sight. I am continually reminding myself the gospel is God’s love and provision for me. I do not give to God; God gives to me. I am constantly removing choke points of faith […]
  • How Does Jesus Apply Predestination ? - Jesus does the exact opposite of this. He says, God chose you, or that is “predestined you so that you can ask whatever you want, and the Father will give it to you.”
  • Did not Enter God’s Rest, Because they disbelieved in Health and Wealth. - Hebrews 3 says that it was their unbelief that stopped them from entering the Promise Land.  God did the saving and brought them out of sin and slavery under the Egyptians. This is mirrored with Jesus saving us from our sin and death. They did nothing when God did this, and we did nothing when […]
  • Jesus Was our Money Substitute - If you deny Jesus was a money substitution then you logically deny Jesus was a sin substitute. 
  • Faith is What God has Done for Us - The definition of faith is a mental assent to God’s word. With this being understood, we can define faith in context of the gospel already finished and the promises therein. In the finished atonement, I am already forgiven, and I am already healed, and I already have the blessing of Abraham, and my poverty has […]
  • A Word of Wisdom Or Starve - There was a famine during David’s reign that lasted for three years, so David asked the Lord about it.And the Lord said, “The famine has come because Saul and his family are guilty of murdering the Gibeonites.”(2 Samuel 21:1 NLT) There was a famine for 3 years. I am speculating, but I imagine David was not idle for 3 […]
  • I WAS Healed or I Will be Healed? - Abraham said, “I am the father of many nations,” and not “I will be the father of many nations.” Abraham’s confession was exactly what God promised and it was a contradiction to reality.
  • Resurrection According The Scripture - Paul says in 1 Corinthian 15:4 that we know Jesus was resurrected because the Scripture says it. This is good reasoning. This is the best type of deductive logic. This is adhering to the laws of Contradiction, Identity and Excluded Middle in perfection. This is thinking like the LOGOS. Anti-Christians often dislike this type of […]
  • Take Your Choke Points Off - “But Moses responded to the Lord, “There are 600,000 foot soldiers here with me, and yet you say, ‘I will give them meat for a whole month!’ Even if we butchered all our flocks and herds, would that satisfy them? Even if we caught all the fish in the sea, would that be enough?” Then the Lord said to […]
  • Use the Bible to Prove Atheism? - I saw an atheist respond on a post on social media saying,“How can we know there is a God? Prove it. Not just using the Bible.” I am not entirely sure if he means, “do not use the bible at all, or use the bible with other non-bible proofs.” If taken the first way, then […]
  • I Couldn’t Care Less - To hear one reformed or evangelical guy talk about how involved in politics we should get, I couldn’t care less.  They are discussing a false reality. If they are not presupposing biblical expansionism, then they are talking about what options are left over after there is no God.  If there is no God, then all […]
