Anyone would be wrong to think that he could comprehend God's full plan. (Ecclesiastes 3:11). However, we can see part of His purposes from what He tells us in scripture.  We know that God placed two trees in the garden of Eden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and… Continue reading A Plan For Man →

When younger men are given authority by their Fathers, Elders, and predecessors, it is right to charge them with the responsibility they are assuming together with such authority.  It takes humility to advance in one's career and life calling, so Fathers should be called upon to join in this charge and properly establish a sound… Continue reading A Charge For Today →

With all respect, I ask because it has a bearing on whether, or more specifically, to what extent we rely on Him.  This is more than whether He says the same thing twice.  I think the scripture repeats many essential themes numerous times in various ways in order to convey a more full and deep… Continue reading Does God Repeat Himself? →

Do you know right from wrong?  Yes, instinctively, most would respond.  As children of Adam, we have within us the knowledge of good and evil.  It is evidenced by our conscience, which is an inner voice that creates remorse and convicts us with guilt when we do wrong.  There are other voices as well, the… Continue reading Resigning Self →

"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, be shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand." Psalm 37: 23-24.  "Blessed is the man who ... delight(s) in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and… Continue reading The Bright Glow of Christians →

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob sees individuals.  This is another distinction from the religions of the world that are dispassionate to the masses, even though a prophet or select person may have been specially acknowledged.  Throughout the Bible we see accounts of God's dealings with individuals low-born, humble, Jew and gentile, weak and… Continue reading God’s Care →

Haman was a noble in the Mead and Persian empire.  The King, Xerxes, honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a seat of honor higher than that of all the other nobles.  Accordingly with this honor people at the kings gate bowed down to him, but a Jew named Mordecai… Continue reading Haman, Enemy of the Jews →

The world is lost, just as we believers were at one time.  The great news is that today is the day of salvation and the Lord is drawing men to Himself still.  He said, "When I am lifted up I will draw all people to myself." (John 12: 32).  This has at least two meanings,… Continue reading Answers For Hope →

"Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing." I Peter 3:8-9.  This passage is not suggesting approving of… Continue reading Bless Our Revilers →

There is a foundation in your faith that supports all the rest.  This foundation was laid when you abandoned your self and accepted King Yeshua as Lord and Savior.  It was as small and hidden as conception, like a seed germinating deep in the dark soil.  Yet in this spark was life and power beyond… Continue reading With All My Heart →

What fellowship is there between light and darkness? The clear answer is nothing, as to being able to seeing.  If you wish to see, full light is always best.  If you desire to sleep or hide, the shadows or even total darkness will be your best choice.  Twilight is not so much a mixture of… Continue reading Deliver Us →

"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.  And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him". I John 5:14-15. This passage in I John… Continue reading Pray With Confidence →

There is a love story that will be completed in heaven. This story is an epic story that is as vast as time and deeper than human emotion can contain.  It is a story worthy of Heaven and exalts the only true God who is love.  It starts with the perfect love that exists between… Continue reading God of Love →

I've noticed something about the Holy Spirit in believer's relationships.  You may have observed this as well.  When the Holy Spirit is given reign in the prayer gathering He brings a unity that can only be described as communion.  One prays in the Spirit over a matter or word of God and another will have… Continue reading Holy Spirit Light →

Everyone has a cross, the instrument of our own destruction.  We were made to die as a result of our fallen human nature.  We may live seventy years or so, maybe a little more, but our body and/or mind begins to breakdown.  The stress of life finds the weakest and most vulnerable point and that… Continue reading Your Cross to Bear →

Do you think Yeshua enjoyed life?  The Bible said He was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.  It is indisputable that He suffered, was persecuted, was treated unjustly, and lived a very simple life with no possessions.  Is a happy life dependent on possessions?  Can a person suffer injustice and persecution, but still… Continue reading Enjoy Life →

I'm praying for an upright generation to be born in this earth.  In the Spirit I see a generation that will have faith in God.  They will know God and follow His ways.  They will be gracious and compassionate and conduct their affairs with justice.  They will care for the poor and needy and will… Continue reading A Righteous Generation →

Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?  No, but until then we see it in ourselves. Peter spoke the truth by revelation of the Spirit that Yeshua was Messiah.  A few moments later he spoke the words of the enemy, suggesting to Yeshua a will apart from God's, even contrary… Continue reading Soul vs Spirit Expression →

We all have the desire to be happy.  The founders of this country knew this and acknowledged it in our founding documents saying, "... life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  They sought to protect these God-given rights.  When we think about tomorrow it is this pursuit that engages our minds in various and indirect… Continue reading Your Hopes and Dreams →

When you seem confined, it may be that God has set you aside in order to love you and discipline you for His purposes.  This is true for prisoners, whom He loves so much that He has used the police and justice system to confine them in prison where they can be quiet, listen to… Continue reading Note to Self →

I often become distressed these days when I watch the news.  Few people in Government or in the media seem concerned for the good of America but rather only want to promote their own agendas.  Combined with the moral decay of our country I sometimes find myself becoming discouraged and even angry.   The Holy… Continue reading Walk Worthy of Your Calling →

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will… Continue reading Prophetic Intercession →

I had a very good dream.  I was playing catch with my good friend.  We were both young, it was a fine sunny warm summer day, the grass was green and fresh. We were simply throwing a ball back and forth to each other.  This is great fun.  The simplicity of throwing and catching a… Continue reading Let’s Pitch →

I recently finished reading "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence.  It was a tremendous blessing.  Bother Lawrence was a very devout Christian who lived in the 17th Century and spent most of his life in a monastery to totally devote himself to God.   This book is considered a Christian classic.… Continue reading The Practice of the Presence of God →
