I have met many young adults whose maturity level seemed to be stuck at the age at which they began to raise themselves. They either started making their own decisions at a certain age, and that froze their advance, or they were thrown out at a certain age, and that froze their advance. Their skills for obtaining resources may have continued to grow, but their maturity – how they respond […]

Righteous Fruit
The remembrance of the righteous is a blessing,but the name of the wicked will rot.(Proverbs 10:7 HCSB ©®) This is My command: love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave doesn’t know […]
Hungry Enough to get Something New
Meanwhile Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire within a bush. As Moses looked, he saw that the bush was on fire but was not consumed. So Moses thought: I must […]
Patiently Working
When it is January, most plants look like death has prevailed over them. Bulbs, though, are busy underground, planning, preparing for their work in the early spring. Their assignment from their Creator is to bring Him glory. Their nature is their hope of success. Their assignments may not be understood, but they will be fulfilled. Your work today may seem hidden, ineffective, slow, having no point or hope of realization. […]
Prepared, Then Established
God wanted to make known to those among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.(Colossians 1:27-28 HCSB ©®) So if you have been raised with the Messiah, seek what is above, where the Messiah is, seated at the right hand of […]

Proving You’re Approved
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to the promise. Now I say that as long as the heir is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, […]
Offendable or Forgiving
The more impossible it becomes for you to be offended, the more powerful you become against your enemies. When you are wallowing in self-pity or anger in response to an attack against your integrity or your creed or your values, your ability to be directed by the Spirit of Holiness into righteous action is severely hampered or completely destroyed. Most of the people around us, born-again or not, have no […]
Believing the Word of the Lord
These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation at the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. No shrub of the field had yet grown on the land, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not made it rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground. But water would […]
Being Like Yahweh
It was pretty tricky that satan misled Adam and Eve into believing that they would become like Yahweh if they ate from the tree of death. His tricks are just as easy to spot most of the time today when you are familiar enough with what Yahweh has said. “Has He really said…” won’t work if you spend enough time in the Book. Add spending time in the Spirit to […]
