Ancient Hebrew Curse Reveals True Name of God
For Scott Stripling, one archaeologist’s trash has become his treasure.
Through a process called wet sifting—a methodological revolution bringing to light small or hidden artifacts that were previously missed at many archaeological digs—Stripling and his team have made an incredible discovery on Mount Ebal in the mountains of Samaria that could very well be one of the most significant finds in biblical history.
Stripling, the Director of Excavations for the Associates for Biblical Research, and his team traveled to Mount Ebal, about 50 miles north of Jerusalem, for a dig at the altar described in Joshua 8:30: “Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel on Mount Ebal, as Moses commanded the children of Israel.”
Alexander Pagani: ‘Cast Out Devils With Confidence’
From all indications, Pastor Greg Locke’s movie, “Come Out in Jesus Name”—released in mid-March—is doing exactly what Locke and the Demon Slayers group hoped it would.
In a recent interview with Charisma News, Pastor Alexander Pagani told John Matarazzo that church leaders who have viewed the film are reaching out to Locke and his group and that there is a genuine hunger for them to have the tools to facilitate deliverance within their own ministry.
“What I’m seeing is that people are not only interested in deliverance but there is a desire to be equipped,” Pagani says. “There’s a desire to know how to do this the right way. It’s like, “How do I help somebody get delivered? How do I do this in a way that honors the Lord?’”
Defeat the Lies That Torment Your Soul
Deception is a dangerous problem, and something Jesus warned us about in the Bible. In Matthew 24:4, He said, “Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error]” (AMPC). There are other places in Scripture where we’re warned to watch out and be alert because we have an enemy who is trying to deceive us.
When you’re deceived, you believe a lie. This is dangerous because when you believe a lie, even though it’s not true, it becomes your reality.
For example, I used to believe I would always have a second-rate life because my father had sexually abused me throughout my childhood and I was “damaged goods.” This lie made me insecure, bitter, hard to get along with and absolutely miserable.
