Being Made Like Jesus

Therefore having such a hope, we use great boldness—not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel could not look at the end of what was fading away. But their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not […]

Ministry of Death

Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory—how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness […]

Spiritual Competency

We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ: not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.(2 Corinthians […]

Outside the Law

For although I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law. To those who are outside […]

Don’t Fear a Crowd

Yahweh set and declared your value. Others, including you, can make declarations that differ from your Father’s, but the truth is set. False declarations don’t change the truth. They just don’t appreciate it. Being swayed by the opinions of your audience can cost you your success – even your inheritance. Wilt Chamberlain (basketball – NY Nicks) had a miserably low […]

Continuing Revelation

As we move forward in the desert in which we are prepared to enter the place of Yahweh’s promises to us, the problems and opportunities we encounter are setups that give us access to new revelation about• Who Yahweh says He is • Who Yahweh says we are • What we are called to in the earth – why Yahweh […]

Following Instructions

Inventors who take the lead in creating what replaces their most recent or their most successful inventions get to continue to surf. Those who just coast to the end of the wave to the beach are just beached. Abraham was told by Yahweh that he would have a son by Sarah. A couple of decades later he did. He was […]

Fear of the Herd

Being afraid of peer pressure can harm you two ways. One is that you are under the power of “the herd” and its grand lack of wisdom. If the herd is under the influence of a fool or a tyrant or a devil, that will become your master. The other is that you don’t have the power to influence your […]

Honored by Yahweh

If we are accused of evil behavior or intent, we have choices regarding our defense. We can argue our innocence, attempting to convince those who have heard or made the accusations that we are not guilty. Maybe we are guilty, and we can argue our reasons for the actions, hoping to be excused. We could take the battle onto the […]
