I prayed through the night drifting in and out of sleep. I had started upon revival which brought conviction of my own condition spiritually and temporally. I saw weakness and superficiality in my devotion to God. Why didn’t I have faith and strength to attain a consistent desire and pursuit of God? I could find… Continue reading Messiah In You
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.
War Is Upon You
I spent a career struggling to solve puzzles that far too often resulted in conflict, principally with multinational corporations and their lawyers. A peer sent this list to me thirty years ago and I still find it funny and insightful. Murphy's Laws of Combat, Marion F. Sturkey 1. If the enemy is in range, so… Continue reading War Is Upon You
Secular Humanists
"But it's not just his political ideology that should scare us,…Johnson is basically a Christian fundamentalist. He believes that America is a Christian nation, and that those values should be reflected in our interpretation of the Constitution." Jen Saki, MSNBC Secular Media equivocators proclaim America has been reorganized, without votes, legislation, or referendum. They raise… Continue reading Secular Humanists
God’s Greatest Proof
The one true God almighty has given at least one incontrovertible proof of Himself to mankind, prophecy, telling what will happen in the future. “Remember this, keep it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God,… Continue reading God’s Greatest Proof
Coming Revival
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—” (1 Corinthians 2:9) The last major revival in America was the “Jesus Movement” revival in the early 1970’s. The name is appropriate as denominationalism began to decline in… Continue reading Coming Revival
A Remnant
“But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against… Continue reading A Remnant
Obama Subterfuge
Image someone defending Nazi’s saying, “What Nazis [Hamas] did was horrific and there's no justification for it. And what is also true is that the defense against them [so called occupation], and what's happening to Nazi supporters [Palestinians], is unbearable." Obama clearly has a preference for the enemies of Israel and is opposed to Jews.… Continue reading Obama Subterfuge
Future of Religious Freedom
The Pilgrims were willing to risk uncertainty and dangers of crossing uncharted seas to find a place where they could worship God free of persecution. The Jews were targeted for extermination by Hitler because they were Jewish, even if they were good German citizens and had been German for generations. Their religious convictions costs them… Continue reading Future of Religious Freedom
Repentance Referendum
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all.” I spoke this and learned these words as a child in public school. Its removal is only one brick removed from the foundations of America.… Continue reading Repentance Referendum
War And Judgment
“See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.” (Jeremiah 30:23-24) God possesses supreme authority… Continue reading War And Judgment
Declining Trust
“Today, 25% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they trust the federal government just about always or most of the time, compared with 8% of Republicans and Republican leaners.” (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/09/19/public-trust-in-government-1958-2023/) Are you surprised by these numbers? To put these findings in perspective over time, trust in Federal Government has declined from around 75% in 1958… Continue reading Declining Trust
Thwarting Evil
Evil people attack the righteous because they are deluded, selfish and evil. They use lies, misstatements, accusations, subtlety, slander and propaganda. Lately they have started “canceling” their targets, which involves personal, financial and law-fare attacks, occasionally physical threats. If allowed, evil people use corrupt government to oppress their foes. The motivation behind evil people is… Continue reading Thwarting Evil
Practical Humility
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even… Continue reading Practical Humility
Impeachment
There is a lot of talk about impeaching Joe Biden, Secretary Mayorkas, Attorney General Garland, FBI Chief Wray, and others. Given what was done to Donald Trump, there appears to be ample reasons to bring charges for impeachment. Of course, the Republicans do not want to stoop to the unscrupulous levels of Nancy Pelosi, but… Continue reading Impeachment
Magazine Issue 11
Holding us Back Many things can hold us back from following the Lord wholeheartedly. The world is full of such things, in fact everything “of the world” is opposed to a Spirit led life. Within the depths of every Believer is a desire to be completely the Lord’s, about His mission and filled with His… Continue reading Magazine Issue 11
Public Opinion
“…Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 1:5) There is a battlefield where powers are waging a war of words to generate beliefs sufficient to support action, if possible. Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies—to… Continue reading Public Opinion
Worldly Influence
In the book of judges we read about the Israeli tribes failing to secure their entire inheritance. This caused associations with pagans and idolatrous influence, resulting in discipline from God in the form of bondage. Then they would seek and cry out to God for help. He sent judges with His prevailing power of deliverance. … Continue reading Worldly Influence
Books About Books
The authors “argue for a midway approach, neither falling into the ditch of overemphasizing the Holy Spirit and his gifts today, nor falling into the ditch where “theology” is purely factually correct head knowledge whereby we forgo any practical loving works toward others.” - Spoiledmilks.com, review of “The Holy Spirit” (TFPG) by Allison/Köstenberger A book… Continue reading Books About Books
The Narrow Way
“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake… But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:5, 7) World systems have creeped into our organizations, such as… Continue reading The Narrow Way
Fear of Loss
“Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.” (Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV) 1 This scripture is about faith, not sight. It does not make rational sense to take what you need to survive, your bread, and cast it upon the waters. However, the principle of faith is assured in that… Continue reading Fear of Loss
Emboldened Faith
“The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalms 46:7,11) This may be very difficult to believe considering our failings, insignificance, circumstances, wandering hopes, selfish desires - weakness. I pray for those who oppose me and treat me badly and forgive them. They aren’t really any worse than me in… Continue reading Emboldened Faith
God’s Recurring Theme
God is Sovereign over Heaven and earth. He has not lost any authority or ability or efficacy of will. The enemy lies suggesting he has authority and that he is comparable to God. An eastern religion actually accepted this lie that Satan and God, Yen and Yang, are locked in an equal struggle neither able… Continue reading God’s Recurring Theme
Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
In Luke 19, Yeshua told a parable to those who thought the Kingdom would appear at once. It is referred to as the parable of the “Ten Minas.” I will not recount the parable, but it illustrates the difference between God’s perspective and that of man. God is interested in those who serve Him well… Continue reading Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
God’s Way
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” (2 Corinthians 9:6) “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Matthew 7:2) “Do to others as you would have them do… Continue reading God’s Way
Spiritual Truth
You may be going about your business, doing your best and hoping for good, but there is a lot of opposition to the truth. We can’t see air, but it surrounds us and fills us with life-giving breath. In the same way the Spiritual dimension is there before your feet, saturating all reality. God causes… Continue reading Spiritual Truth
