Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 27, 2024

This message discusses the supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit called "Discernings of Spirits" in 1 Corinthians 12:10. This gift unveils the spiritual realm, and its operation often precedes exorcism. It is a protection from deception.

When The Veil Is Lifted

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on May 19, 2025

Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more
