    For years we were brain-washed to believe that if we really wanted to be a champion, we had to eat a certain kind of cereal. It was later revealed that the card board containers that held these cereals, had more vitamins than the cereal itself.

    Many had been misled by those television commercials with their popular endorsements. They had been told that if they would eat these cereals, they would one day be a champion. So many of the commercials today that we see, are deceiving and misleading. For example, they tell us that if we ...read more

    Either we define our times or they define us. In the familiar story of David and Goliath we see that truth played out. Saul and Israel were allowing the Philistines to define them. David was a different kind of man however. He intended to define his times

    “ Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand … that all the earth may know that there is ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 12, 2025
     | 98 views

    Purpose rises when God’s word defines us, God’s anointing empowers us, and we step into the valley knowing the battle belongs to the Lord.

    There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more

    What you believe can change everything! Noone expect the report of the spies to promote distrusted in God's power and promise. How much we are robbed by our own doubt, unbelief and mental attitude! Dare to believe and possess the Land.

    You are called to be more! You are called to be a giant slayer You would think that nothing could have kept Israel from entering the Promised Land after being so close to it for forty days. They waited on the borders of Canaan for the return of the spies. They were poised to enter Canaan Land. ...read more
