Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me. […]
Daniel was a prophet. In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Daniel’s coworkers, the Chaldeans (implying Magi or powerful wise men), magicians, astrologers and mediums (who consulted the dead and exorcised demons), were all called together by Nebuchadnezzar. The king had an assignment for them. After they told him what he had dreamed during some troubling dreams he had recently […]
If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.(Galatians 5:25 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.(Galatians 5:25 Complete Jewish Bible) A phrase made popular during the Charismatic Renewal from the 50’s through the […]
Two kings, Constantine and James 1 of England, attempting to usurp the authority of the King of Heaven over His people, brought forth the institution James named the “church.” Jesus never said anything in the Bible that mentioned what James 1 called church except some comments He made about synagogues. What Jesus did mention, over and over and over, was […]
In 1887, William Bordon was born. He was heir of the extremely wealthy Bordon family, in Chicago. When he graduated from high school at 16, his parents gave him a trip around the world as a gift.

How many of our meetings, if missed, would prevent us from actually experiencing a meeting with Jesus? Much of our activity is done in some name other than His. In the name or interest of a mission, a congregation, a ministry, an event, a day of the week… not in the name of the King. He hasn’t promised to be […]
The more you trust Jesus with your life – for your provision, your protection, your health, your direction, correction, rest, strength; all you can think of and more – the more you will become a strength to the people who are around you. Even though they frequently disagree with you, they will still ask you for your help or your […]
Yahweh picked a fight with Satan over Job. Yahweh won, therefore Job also won. Who picked the fight with Jacob at Peniel? Jacob was convinced that he had been fighting Yahweh all night. If Jacob had surrendered earlier, what would have changed in the blessing he could have received? How often are we fighting with Yahweh when He wants to […]
Daniel’s three friends Mishael, Hananiah and Azariah (their demon-glorifying names were Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego) prayed for him to get revelation about the king’s dream so that they would not be killed. We need to expect such blessing, including such supernatural intervention in our lives: The king replied to the Chaldeans, “My word is final: If you don’t tell me […]
