We have what we think are people in our minds, but really they are merely phantoms of our imagination. Our memories, mostly those troubling ones, in some aspect, concoct a character of names, faces, images or events that are pieces of this phantom personage, lacking true substance, parts, but not of the whole, fragments, but… Continue reading Phantoms and Praise
Author: steve2525
I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
The Right to Kill
Abortion is not in the constitution because it is an unjust horrific evil, that no founding father would ever imagined to be considered legal. Therefore, according to the constitution it is a matter to be determined by the states. Even if one believes the Civil war eliminated states rights, the right of states to regulate… Continue reading The Right to Kill
Trial By Accusation
The enemies of America and freedom, truth, and justice have determined that the means they have choosen are justified, though they are filled with misrepresentation, distortion and flat out lies. These smear campaigns conducted in and by the media scare the timid into withdrawal and often destroy the good name of those who choose… Continue reading Trial By Accusation
Memorials and Mobs
In Blue states and Democrat controlled cities, mob rule is expanding to remove memorials that recognize people who were connected with historical events. These vestiges do not attribute holiness or divinity to the person, but establish a physical marker in history, to recall the event in which they had a part. Louisiana is contemplating the… Continue reading Memorials and Mobs
Your Anchor
I will never forget the images of Christian Kurds/Arabs captured by Isis, lined up upon their knees. They were praying verbally to Yeshua to endure what was coming. Scripture reveals two important and related anchors in such senarios - Hope and Heaven's attention. As Stephen was martyred he looked up, " 'Look,' he said, 'I… Continue reading Your Anchor
The Spirit is in You
As a disciple of Yeshua, Believers do what He did. (John 14: 12; Rom. 8: 29; 2 Cor. 3: 18). The same Holy Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on every born again Believer as it was on Yeshua. Many reservations, qualifications, exceptions, distinctions and excuses come into my mind even as I write this,… Continue reading The Spirit is in You
Have You Asked For Victory?
Yeshua said, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the… Continue reading Have You Asked For Victory?
Who is Responsible?
The division in this country is widening as the Democrat controlled House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump without specifying or evidencing a crime as required by the Constitution. One group of socialists are pleased that their party took this action, while the other group who elected Trump are unhappy with this partisan sham… Continue reading Who is Responsible?
Fascism in America
The fascism of WWII was labeled as "Right-wing", but the new fascism rising in America is different. For over thirty years liberalism was promoted with active propaganda in the major media. Liberal generally means favoring reform, open to new ideas, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; not bound by traditional thinking; broad-minded.… Continue reading Fascism in America
These Times
I've been thinking we are in the "last days" for many years. When the Bible uses this term it sometimes refers to the age of Messiah's coming or return. Joel prophesied about the coming of Messiah which Peter quoted, "No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'In the last days, God says,… Continue reading These Times
A Safe Place
  Terror, torment, trepidation is loose in this world. The extent to which it effects each of us may vary, but the bubble that is American society itself is under attack as never before. Our model is Israel whom the enemy sought to destroy over and over. Their own leaders and influential groups often brought… Continue reading A Safe Place
Wild Visions
I was in an upper bedroom of the house. I looked out the window up toward the roof gable and noticed that the vent covering was missing. Inside I saw what seemed to be like a large bird sitting as a yellow cat was approached to attack the bird. The bird didn't move as the… Continue reading Wild Visions
His Work
God is at rest from creation, but He is working His will in mankind to gather a people destined for glory and to be in relationship with Him in Heaven. At the outset, Man fell through disobedience and has suffered under the influence of the enemy, Satan, a rebellious being. God is Sovereign and prepared… Continue reading His Work
All Kinds
I had some dealings with a very weird, unfriendly and ignorant fellow the other day. It was a business deal, so naturally it was all about money for him, but it was not the money that bothered me. Sellers seek to get the highest price while buyers seek the lowest, somewhere in the negotiations a… Continue reading All Kinds
Two Crises (CRY-seez)
Amy was still unmarried, but had recently delivered a healthy baby. She was now in the midst of continual fits of anguish with loud uncontrollable crying jags. I sought further facts on the premise of knowing how to pray for her and gathering an explanation. She was understandably distraught with regret for the passions… Continue reading Two Crises (CRY-seez)
Gosnell Movie
Dr. Kermit Gosnell was an abortionist in Philadelphia whom this movie asserts is the most prolific serial killer in America. This movie is closely based on actual events and the court dialog is from actual court records. You might wonder as I did how an abortionist could be convicted of murder, given that abortion… Continue reading Gosnell Movie
A Higher Force
Mick Jones explained, "I always worked late at night, when everybody left and the phone stopped ringing. 'I Want To Know What Love Is' came up at three in the morning sometime in 1984. I don't know where it came from. I consider it a gift that was sent through me. I think there was… Continue reading A Higher Force
Morning Prayers and Tears
I see how meaningless my labors have been and are now. I bow down before King Yeshua from my remote solitary station with contrition and submission to worship Him, the light and glory of all creation. The self and it's nervous gyrating activity darting in random worthless desperate energy finally slows, runs down, shaking, uncontrolled… Continue reading Morning Prayers and Tears
Control Over Language
Forces modify language constantly, perhaps tracking the declining educational proficiency which also moves within a culture. The false but prevailing notion that "new is improved" can be evidenced by reading books written one hundred or even one thousand years ago. This is irrefutable as to language, but whether it is a demonstration of the second… Continue reading Control Over Language
Tyranny Today
        What constitutes government tyranny to you? Arbitrary and/or unrestrained power is the hallmark of tyranny, but if the governed neither object nor recognize the abuse, it can be accepted. All around the world this is true. On several occasions Chinese groups have protested against communist tyranny and for liberty and one leader was crushed… Continue reading Tyranny Today
Just Then
There are five uses of these words in the New Covenant. I have found that God's timing is perfect and the significance of His timing bears consideration. In the Old Covenant, there are many examples like the choreography of the Israelite deliverance through Esther and Mordecai under King Xerxes from the enemy Haman. Joseph's life… Continue reading Just Then
Toliet Paper Shortage
750 The truth about the ongoing toilet paper shortage is elusive, but actually makes a lot of sense. The panic triggered by an irresponsible media's attempt to gain political advantage in the headlines caused some people to stockpile certain nonperishable items. One sinister person tried to hoard hand sanitizer for profit and was prosecuted by… Continue reading Toliet Paper Shortage
Discernment in America
Within the congregation of Believers there is the gift of discernment. "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, ...to another distinguishing… Continue reading Discernment in America
As A Child
We were keeping our three granddaughters, the youngest is almost three, and we sat down to eat. I asked who would like to say the blessing? The older sisters said, "Hailey can pray." I said, "Ok", and she began to pray. My hearing is weakening and Hailey is not the clearest speaker, so I had… Continue reading As A Child
The Victim Class Deception
There is a new status of preference promoted in the media today. It traces is roots back to affirmative action and the EEO protected classes of race, gender, religion, national origin, color, age, and disability. A new class is being crafted and promoted, sexual preference, meaning initially gay or lesbian, but expanding to transsexuals, who… Continue reading The Victim Class Deception
