Looking for the Kingdom

It is true that when we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, we will find all provision. It is not true that we will be free from conflict or accusation or assault. It is through hardships that we must enter the Kingdom. Be awesome. Romans 5:1-5     John 16:33      Acts 14:21-22

Who Are The Few?

In chapter 9 of Matthew, a woman who had been bleeding for years touched Jesus’ clothing and was healed. The word she declared would happen to her and the word that Jesus confirmed had happened to her was “sozo” (Strongs Dictionary word #G4982). Translators sometimes convert it to English sometimes as “saved,” sometimes as “healed,” sometimes as “made whole.” Most […]

The Finger of God

When He finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God. (Exodus 31:19 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©) If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul. And if I drive out demons […]

Pleasing Jesus

Maturity, in my estimation, is measurable by how quickly a person responds to a situation (without regard for whether the situation is opportunity or danger), with a response that has been birthed in the Fruit of the Spirit listed by Paul in Galatians 5:22-23. A further, more refined look at the issue becomes, in my estimation, how quickly a person’s […]

Fearful Service

“Then the man who had received one talent also approached and said, ‘Master, I know you. You’re a difficult man, reaping where you haven’t sown and gathering where you haven’t scattered seed. So I was afraid and went off and hid your talent in the ground. Look, you have what is yours.’ “But his master replied to him, ‘You evil, […]

Expect Guidance

Yahweh knows what will happen next. He knows why it will happen. He can change it if He wants to. He has already changed the “proper” results of circumstances in your life many times. No matter what your view of a situation leads you to believe about what will happen next, His view is better and His power to change […]

Expecting Yahweh

As we mature, we subject more and more of our lives and our stuff to the reign of Christ over it. If you take a 20 minute trip in your vehicle, constantly worried about whether your worn out tires are going to pop, you will be more exhausted than if you took a 2 hour trip during which you were […]

Sons and Daughters Forever

Some people throughout the ages have been given assignments from the King of Heaven who carried them out very obediently, even though they neither honored him as King or as Savior. They were slaves in the Kingdom – not family members. As once Jesus told some Jews who believed Him, “A slave does not remain in the household forever, but […]

Foolish Farming

Why did Jesus call the guy who had a great harvest a fool? (Luke 12:13-21) Suppose, instead of deciding how he could use the harvest to produce a retirement income, he had started thinking about how many people he could employ, or how many poor widows he could feed? Suppose that after he got this great harvest as income, he […]

Human Designs

Perhaps you are not old enough to remember 8-track tapes. When they were invented, they were great tech advances because they were portable, compact, easy to encode clear stereo onto, and could be used in some recorders and players for all 8 tracks at once, for mixing master recordings. They were loops, so they never ended – they just kept […]
