Peter Wagner, in his book This Changes Everything – How God Can Transform your Mind and Change Your Life (Regal Books, ©2013 Peter Wagner), offered this list of American Jewish people’s leadership accomplishments: Jews make up only 2% of the American population, yet 45% of the top 40 Forbes richest Americans are Jewish 33% of American multimillionaires are tallied […]
I am convinced that one reason why Yahweh never seems to be upset by the fact that Jacob stole his elder brother’s inheritance is because Esau insulted Yahweh by not valuing it. The heritage that we have received from believing parents or grandparents is part of our spiritual inheritance. The character and mindset that our mentors had as they influenced […]
At what point does it become weird to have faith in Jesus? The woman with perpetual menstruation had seen all the physicians who could be seen, apparently. The boy on the funeral cart near Capernaum was not getting any more opinions about his condition. Bartimaeus was definitely blind. Their problems were out of the reach of the professionals of the […]
Paul wrote to the churches in Corinth (2 Corinthians 1:15-22): In this confidence, I planned to come to you first, so you could have a double benefit, and to go on to Macedonia with your help, then come to you again from Macedonia and be given a start by you on my journey to Judea. So when I planned this, […]
Many advisors will appear if you have questions about what you should do. Frequently, they will appear even if you have no questions. As a Scripture says, there is safety in a multitude of counsellors (Proverbs 11:4). That is under the assumption that they are wise counsellors, of course.

“Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where […]
When Christ came, He proclaimed the good news of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household, built on the foundation […]
Matthew wrote in a very Jewish way about the interest Jesus had in Gentiles. He was a servant of the Gentiles when he met Jesus, working for a foreign government, collecting taxes for them from his fellow Jews. Two times he made a point of displaying the fact that the Spirit of God was leading Gentiles to revelation are related […]
Just because I have been born of God, and have become capable of seeing the Kingdom, I cannot expect that I will see it if I have no desire to. This is what Yahweh said through Jeremiah: Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes human flesh his strength and turns his heart from the Lord. He will […]
