“Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made. The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.” (Psalms 7:14-16) These are the facts on earth ruled by God. You may… Continue reading Facts in Reality

The Garden of Eden
“And the Lord God said, 'The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.' So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the… Continue reading The Garden of Eden
Confidence of Faith
God told Saul certain things would happen after He was anointed king, including, “The Spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you.”… Continue reading Confidence of Faith
The Power of Prayer
"Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit." James 5:17-18 Elijah was able to stop the… Continue reading The Power of Prayer
Futility of Opposition
God does not quit in His work until it reaches fruition. Those opposed to God, who do not believe He exists, or are consumed by their own selfish agenda or do not know Him are at an impasse and dead end. Opposition to God will produce frustration, at least, and ultimately a miserable death in… Continue reading Futility of Opposition
Evidence Of Spirit
Yeshua (Jesus’ Hebrew name) told Nicodemus in reply to his questions, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.…Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh,… Continue reading Evidence Of Spirit
Relax
One of the best things you can do is relax. I don’t mean take a vacation or spend a lot of money to go to a fancy resort. Stress is killing us slowly and making us more miserable than we know. This world and its pace, even in non-working hours, is sapping our creativity and… Continue reading Relax
When The Whole World Hears
Yeshua said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”(Matthew 24:14) Also, He gave His followers the great commission, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15) This has inspired much evangelism… Continue reading When The Whole World Hears
Mature in Messiah
This is a worthy goal, but what does it mean? It seems to me a lot of misconceptions exist regarding maturity. In its basic sense it means becoming an adult growing to full capability physically, mentally and emotionally. In respect to faith, we should consider spiritual maturity . This is where things begin to blur… Continue reading Mature in Messiah
Irrevocable
Few things in this world are revocable. I can’t even think of one, but the old adage, “A deals a deal.” Which generally means once you agree to a transaction and it is completed there is no recourse, but actually there is, based on any number of scenarios where fraud, non-disclosure, disputes over contract terms… Continue reading Irrevocable
Thoughts Considered
It was a time of troubled sleep and I think that matters as some of these thoughts and impressions were during the night or from within. First I had an impression that I was my own enemy, in that, my fallen nature took positions contrary to the Spirit which I endorsed and held to be… Continue reading Thoughts Considered
Is God Passionate
The secular world mocks God as an old man sitting in the clouds far away, uninterested, ambivalent, stern and disapproving. Some of this maybe from Michelangelo’s famous painting in the Sistine chapel of God touching Man’s barely raised finger as He looks away. To many their concept of God is distant, demanding, arbitrary and at… Continue reading Is God Passionate
Be Kind to the Wicked
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.... and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." Luke 6:27-28, 35 One of the commands of our… Continue reading Be Kind to the Wicked
Youthfulness
My wife's parents were always full of youthfulness. It was one of the things I most appreciated about them and it seemed they mutually shared and valued this mindset. It is a way of thinking that affects your perspective and actions. They valued babies and children and were attracted to anything that involved them. Babies… Continue reading Youthfulness
Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?
Whether a Christian can lose his salvation is an often debated issue. In the extreme views, some Christians live in fear that they can live a devoted life to God and then fall into sin at death and lose their salvation. Others boast in their freedom to do whatever they want without fear of losing… Continue reading Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?
Spiritual Warmup
I’m preparing for a new breakthrough in Spirit led prayer. Since the natural comes before the spiritual, (1 Cor. 15:46), some natural warm up might be appropriate. We might greet, then stretch, move about, brief minor calisthenics of the body, work out any stiffness, get flexible, prepare for action. Then, for stretching of the mind… Continue reading Spiritual Warmup
What If…Love
I find that one's spouse can sometimes be their greatest critic. They live together and are as familiar as possible, which recalls the adage, "Familiarity breeds contempt". However, we are talking about those in the union of Holy Matrimony, where contempt should not be tolerated, especially from anything so innocuous as familiarity. One respected author… Continue reading What If…Love
Proof of God Denied
In Acts chapters 3 and 4, we are presented with a complete demonstration of the power of God in the new covenant age - the power of the name, Yeshua Messiah. Peter and John commanded healing to a man born lame, who was now over forty years old. This miracle of healing was beyond dispute… Continue reading Proof of God Denied
Prayer Debriefing 6
Lord, Yeshua, you are sending your message to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Draw them with cords of your love and set them free from the enemy's lying deception. Open blind eyes and plant your seed of faith - let faith arise. Welcome all who are burdened and weary, Yeshua will give you… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 6
Fear of Death
Death awaits us all, but we relish life and focus on its blessings. The Earth is synonymous, filled with stunning beauty and renewal each day. However, it will one day be destroyed by fire and with age it is diminishing in splendor. Some people want to blame mankind instead of science's fourth law of thermodynamics.… Continue reading Fear of Death
Sustained Prayer
Paul encouraged continual prayer. (1 Thess. 5:17) Some seem to think if we ask something from God and He doesn't answer promptly, it must not have been His will and they cease praying. James observed, "Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did… Continue reading Sustained Prayer
Worrying, Fretting, Angry
Regarding the most recent multi-trillion dollar spending bill to stop global warming, Nancy Pelosi said, “For me, it’s a religious thing. I believe this is God’s creation, and we have a moral obligation to be good stewards. If you don’t share that view, you must share the view that we have an obligation to future… Continue reading Worrying, Fretting, Angry
God Unlimited
I remember the first time I really grasped how different people can be - I was almost forty. At work we took the Myers-Briggs personality test; one of the questions asked, "Do you prefer when tasks are completed or still in process?" I read the question again, thinking I missed something, then commented, "No one… Continue reading God Unlimited
Love and Forgiveness
Can love be measured, if so, how? We all want and need love, but where can it be found and how can it be obtained? Some try to secure love in their own efforts, but ultimately find it snatched away in despair. Songs of lost love and broken hearts seem to never leave the music… Continue reading Love and Forgiveness
Eschatology
This a theological term referring to matters concerned with the end of the world or of humankind. The Bible has much prophecy, as God frequently told people what would happen in advance. He did this as warning, judgment, direction, and confirmation of His truth. People react very differently to God's prophetic message. Some give heed,… Continue reading Eschatology
