For longer than I have been paying attention, people have been saying that the return of Jesus could be any day now, because all the signs have been fulfilled. Time is short. Peter seems to have encountered people who thought it should have happened already even while he was on the earth. He wrote that the Lord is only seeming […]
There has never in world history been a more dangerous time to live outside of the Kingdom of Heaven. The World War that the earth is currently under the weaponry of is a bigger threat to freedom and prosperity to every human than any war yet. This is a financial war. All of the flimsy, valueless currencies of the world […]
It is a dangerous place to be out in the earth with no real guide to righteousness but being able to grasp what the Holy Spirit is saying. It is a safe but frequently ineffective place to stay where my strength is the training wheels I started my journey with Jesus by using – the rules and the religion. I […]
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God,and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.(1 John 4:7-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®)
A fig tree died for not being productive out of season. Paul instructed Timothy that he must be instant in his obedience to the demands placed on him by Jesus (2 Timothy 4:1-5). In fact, we must be ready both when the demanded fruit is in season and when it is not. All the good fruit we bear is supernatural. […]
Fruit is normally only available when it is in season. If there is a watermelon growing in South Carolina in February, it is because there is an artificial season being created in a hot house.

I had a conversation with a young man recently about our God’s nature. We were discussing the theology that he had been taught as a child and examining it in light of Scripture. His instruction regarding the identity of Yahweh and how to interact with Him was that we could only interact with Jesus, could not presume to approach His […]
In this parable, Jesus said that the weeds are gathered first during harvest time, but not until harvest time: He presented another parable to them: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while people were sleeping, his enemy came, sowed weeds among the wheat, and left. When the plants […]
If you want to enjoy freedom, you must purchase a ticket to it. Jesus purchased a ticket for your entrance, but you must purchase your own ticket if you want to enjoy living your freedom. He is to you the Door, and He must also become to you the Way. The basketball players who actually become professionals are the ones […]
Tabernacles and temples have been raised up and cast down through the ages, and for different reasons. The tabernacle built in the desert was put away when the first temple was built to replace it. Temples were destroyed in judgments of the nation of Israel’s descendants. Jesus once said that His temple would be torn down. He promised that, when […]
