The Spirit does not explain all things pertaining to His direction. If we presume or demand background knowledge in order to understand the scope or requirements of the Spirit’s appointment we have made a terrible […]

Unity With whom
It is good to be aware of to who various scriptures refer. For example, Paul spends a considerable time discussing Israel in the book of Romans. As part of that discussion we see that Believers […]
God in the natural
The universe was made by God, by His design, through His spoken word, and He said it is good. We see God in Creation as it reflects His glory. (Ps. 19:1) Who has not looked […]
More Faith and spirit rule
I’m hungry for more of God’s presence and leading. The disciples occasionally opined upon Yeshua’s (Jesus’ Hebrew Name) direction or action and they were rebuked and/or found to be wrong. “The apostles said to the […]
Beginning To believe
We talk about faith, believing, accepting, relying upon what we know to be true. There are degrees with these words, but in their pure full meaning, convictions and commitments emerge. Then, we are changed from […]
God’s Way
I once heard a minister who taught that God responds to prayer, which is scriptural. However, he extended it much further, such that we have been granted great authority through prayer to change the world […]
God in the Small Things
We needed to pour some concrete, quite a bit of it. We found a concrete contractor who began in a few days. I thought it good business to pay as we went and he was […]
Enter Into His Rest
“So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. Let us therefore strive to enter that […]
A Return to Prayer and Faith
There are two aspects of the Kingdom of God that are critical for the Congregation of Believers today. The first is a restoration of the practice of prayer and intercession. It is necessary for every follower […]
Your Prayer Ministry
Any Believer can serve God and his fellow man through prayer ministry. This ministry is fully in the service of God and provided for in scripture. Moreover, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is provided […]
Conversations on the Trail
My Son, his two daughters and I, went on a backpacking hike over the weekend. My ten year old granddaughter and I were discussing our salvation experiences and I mentioned that after I was baptized […]
Reason Supporting Faith
I have observed often that mental reasoning and a reliance thereon can thwart our response in faith. The entire Humanist religion is founded in reason over faith. Even flimsy ideas like evolution must be continually […]
Times of Refreshing
You can call on the Lord Yeshua now, nothing can stop you or separate you from God’s love in Yeshua Messiah. (Rom. 8:38-39). Exalt Him above all; in surrender cast yourself into His hands. Accept […]
With Faith
My grandson told me that he had to make a Medieval shield in an upcoming school assignment. He could draw one on poster board and cut it out or if he could make one out […]
God’s Glory
The Psalms contain a good reflection of the glory of God, but so does every book in the Bible. Still, can those living in darkness recognize His glory? Is faith necessary to perceive such glory? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Is This Between Me and God?
In certain of life’s situations we may ask this question? It is likely a good question to ask, even before we become desparate or disappointed? During Gideon’s days Israel was under extreme oppression from rival […]
Healing By Faith
“Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. So he bent over her and rebuked the […]
Taking Thoughts Captive
“Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, […]
Faith the Size of a Mustard Seed
“So the Lord said, ‘If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea, and it would obey […]
Prayer Group
I’ve been in many prayer groups, most were great. We had a small one at work that did exploits in the Spirit among people, organizations, crossing boundaries. The one most unusual was with a group […]
Prayer Reminder
The scriptures remind us to pray, even to do so continually. (1 Thess. 5:17). I trust you to implement ‘continually’ as you best discern, but I want to remind you of an equally, perhaps more […]
God’s Gifts to Man
There is a lot written about identifying one’s spiritual gifts. Much of it centers around a description of the various gifts recorded in scripture. This is good and even so, there remains a considerable amount […]
