By Zac Poonen All believers are not called to be prophets. But all believers are commanded to eagerly desire to prophesy (1 Cor.14:1). This is one of the results of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the new-covenant age (Acts 2:17, 18). To prophesy (in its meaning in the new covenant) is to speak […]

By Zac Poonen If we are to wage effective spiritual warfare, we must not be ignorant of Satan’s schemes, devices and tactics.
