Of the honors and the privileges we receive in our lives, the greatest are gained in the events in which, because our hearts are broken or burning because of what stirs the heart of Jesus, we have been so harmed by the pain that He then trusts us to become the answers to the prayers we raise under the burden. […]
Yahweh wanted to sum up all things in Christ. He, in Christ, reconciled all things to Himself. We, in Christ, are being transformed into an offering to Yahweh. We are created in Christ for good works, which our God has laid out ahead of us to walk in (Ephesians 2:4-10). He “has saved us and called us with a holy […]
Until the great persecution broke out on believers as Luke described in Acts 8, apostles were the only decision makers in the ekklesia of the King. By the time the thrusting forth of everyone but the apostles from Jerusalem reached maturity, forcing all the believers to take up their ministries, there was a congregation formed in Antioch of Syria that […]
One day, Yahweh spoke to a man named Abram. Abram lived in Ur, which was the largest city in the plain of Shinar, which is the area in which Babel was built by Nimrod’s followers. Abram was a descendant of Noah’s son Shem. Abram is not mentioned as having accomplished anything great at the time Yahweh called him from Ur. […]
When we learn that faith is a fruit of the Spirit of Jesus and not just a desire to believe something, we have opened a Door through which we can access Heaven’s resources and give Heaven’s purposes access to the earth.

When we eat, the food is digested and converted to tissue and bone and blood and energy. When we consume the words of the Lord, they are converted to Life and purpose and direction and power. However, among the mature we do speak a wisdom, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who […]
Jesus used the cross to save us from sin and death. He then transformed the cross into a throne of grace. He will change our crosses into thrones also. He will not change our own works, whether Sunday morning services or holy Roman empires, into preparation to join Him in ruling the universes, but you have been given a Kingdom. […]
What does this part of a letter from Paul to the believers in Ephesus mean if it is read with the Kingdom in mind rather than the church? There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is […]
I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are […]
