Hallelujah! I will praise the Lord with all my heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. The Lord’s works are great, studied by all who delight in them. All that He does is splendid and majestic; His righteousness endures forever. He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered. The Lord is gracious and compassionate. He […]
When his master heard the story his wife told him—”These are the things your slave did to me”—he was furious and had him thrown into prison, where the king’s prisoners were confined. So Joseph was there in prison. But the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him. He granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden. […]
It is not possible to get much done for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven if you are afraid of failure. John Wimber, who took up leadership of the Vineyard Fellowship of churches in the 70’s, felt led to begin praying for sick people in and around the congregation of 500+ members he was leading at one point. For […]
Unless the King of Heaven and Earth has given you permission to belong to someone other than Himself part-time, if you are a believer in His salvation and His Kingdom, you are called by Him to full-time ministry. Secular work, contrary to Roman Catholic mythology, is worked you picked out for yourself. I have met many people who were employed […]
Unless you are a descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, you are not a person to whom Yahweh gave the covenant you can read about in Exodus. That covenant made the descendants of Jacob a nation, ruled over by Yahweh. The covenant was basically law, given to the new nation through Moses.

Ask […]
The most basic way to describe what has happened when we have evangelized someone is simply to say that we have given them good news. “Ev” in evangelism means “good.” In some other words, “ev” is replaced by “eu” and means the same thing, because there was a time in the development of the English language when it had not […]
I am convinced that Yahweh’s intentions in the earth can be boiled down to two projects: forming the likeness of Jesus in each of us, and forming a bride for Jesus in the earth. Those two processes require much work and coordination and coincidence and cooperation. The projects that are created to make the processes happen are maybe not as […]
Take the land. Fear not. Caleb said, “We must go up and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!” (Numbers 13:30) The ten spies with evil reports said, “We can’t go up against the people because they are stronger than we are!… The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and […]
There is no teaching by Jesus on faith when He made that statement, usually. Just information that their faith had done the work. “Lord, increase our faith” was given instruction as a response, but our cultural instruction on faith is so different from Jesus’ instruction that we can’t see how what He said connects to faith. Please read Luke 17:5-10. […]
