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 […]

Maybe we are guilty, and we can argue our reasons for the actions, hoping to be excused. We could take the battle onto the […]

Unity is in Christ

…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. But speaking the […]

Continuing Victory

Now, when I went to Troas to spread good news about Messiah, because a door had been opened to me by the Lord, I could not rest, because I could not find my brother Titus. So I left the people there and went on to Macedonia. But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in a procession of victory, […]

Back Row Bad

Hiding from Jesus is always a mistake. To be protected from the Giver of Life is a terribly unsafe place. When we gather with people in hopes of spending time with Jesus and being influenced by His Spirit, the atmosphere is improved when we are all on the front row, and when we are all involved in the possibility of […]

Desiring and Doing

E. Stanley Jones, servant of Jesus in India and many other places, said that the motto he held for life was, “Not able to do it, but enabled.” We need to work out our salvation. We are not, however able to. We are, however enabled to, because it is the Spirit of Jesus Who works in us to be able […]
