Yahweh called Abram out of Ur. He didn’t call Lot. Either Abram invited him, or he invited himself. Abram became Abraham as he moved into his destiny – changed from “Exalted Father” to “Father of a Multitude” (Genesis 17:5). Lot didn’t change. Lot wanted more land so he could have more possessions. Abraham asked Lot what land he wanted, and […]
In nature, created things are in both processes of life and of death. Skin is being replaced constantly. Water-based blood and other fluids are bringing nutrition to cells and washing waste out of cells. Hormones tell our bodies and they tell plants when to grow in what ways. Basil plants will grow more and more stems and leaves until one […]
Fear leads us away from revelation and from leaping into greatness and from invention. Except the fear of the Lord. It is the beginning of wisdom. It is the beginning of knowledge. It gives me the courage to draw near the Face from which the words blazed that became all the stars in the universe as one Breath. Jesus has […]
Three big feasts on Yahweh’s calendar were Passover, First Fruits, and Tabernacles. Jesus fulfilled Passover by being sacrificed as the Lamb for our household. The Holy Spirit fulfilled First Fruits (Pentecost) by anointing believers as the beginning of the time of harvest. We are tilling, planting, watering, and at some point in time will be harvesting new believers as they […]
Elisha did twice as much supernatural stuff as Elijah, because Elijah took him as a son and blessed him as he left the earth. Jesus ordained you to bear much fruit, including fruit that remains. Don’t raise your sons and daughters (spiritual or physical) to take up the management of the family business. Raise them up to create what should […]
In John 15:16, Jesus told His disciples that He had ordained them to bear much fruit, including fruit that would “remain.” Fruit from an apple tree is an apple. Fruit that remains from an apple tree is another apple tree. In Judges 3:7-11, Caleb’s nephew Othniel (“Lion of God”) was described as having been empowered by Yahweh to be the […]
Designer and Creator of the universe has given you a sanctified dissatisfaction with regard to something. Something is happening that shouldn’t be; something should be happening but isn’t; something is scarce but should be plentiful. Finding that target and aiming your whole life and all your resources at it is the path to Satisfaction. He has burdened you with it […]
In Acts chapter 4, the Sanhedrin made a response to the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate by Peter and John in chapter 3. Sanhedrin is a compound word from ‘sit’ and ‘together’. The rulers of Israel met as a Sanhedrin to make and enforce rules. They decided that the miraculous healing was undeniable, but that it […]
Who held Job captive? In literal translations of Job 42:10 (Young’s, KJV), the Lord “turned Job’s captivity.” It seems to have been a common figurative phrase, though, that implied the return of lost fortunes or restoration of property, so translations that aren’t as literal usually translate the phrase that way – “the LORD restored his prosperity.” Either way, the text […]
