“‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”” (Revelation 21:4) Fear of loss came over me like a dark cloud, blocking the sunlight.

"For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.

“So will it be with the resurrection of the dead.

If there… Continue reading Spiritual Reality →

There is an awakening to God’s Holy Spirit rising today. There is also resistance from the usual sources and even religious men, some of whom are believers. (Gal. 2:3-6) The same rebellious fallen human nature exists in everyone, but Yeshua has and continues to overcome. (Rom. 8:7) Are we willing to turn away from our… Continue reading Awakening →

“Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven.

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! “Who has known the mind of the Lord?

When,… Continue reading Bad Memories →

“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.

God has not always hidden himself from His people. How did the Jews miss God coming as their Messiah Yeshua? Could we fail to perceive Him in our day?  The Jews misinterpreted the law of Moses in light of the Messiah; they misinterpreted the prophecies which foretold Messiah’s coming; they were distracted with hardship of… Continue reading Missing God’s Arrival →
