The Air Framework, Part IV, Restoration
•
By W. Chaz Glass In Part III we saw how Christ’s consciousness had no “air gap,” no vulnerable interior space for Satan to exploit. But we are not yet Christ. We are being regenerated but are not yet glorified, indwelt by the Spirit yet still living in bodies of flesh.…

The Air Framework, Part III, Integration
•
By W. Chaz Glass “I and my Father are one.” John 10:30 In Parts I and II, we traced the creation of the “air” — the vulnerable space of divided consciousness — and examined how Satan operates within it through suggestion, deception, and distortion. In this Part, we turn to…

The Air Framework, Part II, Operation
•
By W. Chaz Glass “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 In Part I, I traced the creation of the “air”,…

The Air Framework, Part I: The Fracture
•
Most Christians have heard Paul describe Satan as “the prince of the power of the air,” but few ever stop to ask what that actually means. What is this air Paul is talking about? Why would he choose that metaphor to describe demonic influence in the age of the Spirit?

The Martha Church Model
•
The Martha Church Model begins with good intentions. As churches grow larger, programs become necessary to manage complexity numbers bring. Like Martha welcoming Jesus, churches aim to serve God and create meaningful experiences. They curate aesthetics, develop programs, organize ministries, and mobilize volunteers.

Internal Renovations
•
Jesus said in Luke 11:24-26, “When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. Then…

The Chosen Catalyst
•
Rather than looking to a political leader to “bring revival,” believers must recognize that the revival has begun—just not in the way they expected.
-
The Harvest Dispensation
•
If the harvest is plentiful (Luke 10:2), but the laborers are few, then the real problem is not a shortage of people but a shortage of disciples.

The Testimony of the Civil Rights Movement
•
The CRM stands as a forceful testimony of the Church’s prophetic witness. The movement not only confronted systemic racism but also teaches what the Church can accomplish when it operates with strategic focus and unity.

Modern Temples – 2, A Blueprint for Modern Spiritual Warfare
•
With eyes to see, it can seem overwhelming how much territory the enemy has taken. The spirit of Sennacherib seems to have many believers surrounded. How did this happen? Jesus said while men slept the enemy sowed tares, and it was while Samson slept, reflecting complacency, that his hair was…

Modern Temples – Part 1
•
There is not much difference between the Church today and ancient Israel. The history of Israel is for the Church’s benefit, and Christ makes such comparisons when addressing the churches in Revelation. There was one rebuke that I kept going back to: eating food sacrificed to idols, mentioned in Revelation…

Modern Temple Series Introduction
•
Modern temples are all around us. They are the places where people pour out their time, money, attention, and even identity in exchange for fleeting pleasures, false promises, and temporary escape. They exist in physical spaces like casinos and strip clubs, but also in digital realms, entertainment venues, and even…
