Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me. Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified […]

Improved Roots
Trees that have weathered many storms have stronger roots. The storms shake the tree, wiggling the roots back and forth, creating more space around them for easier growth. The roots take this advantage, growing bigger and stronger and more productive at sending nutrients up into the tree. Believers who trust Yahweh can have greater and stronger and more productive roots as they prove their trust in storms (Jeremiah 17:7-8). They […]
Purged of Clergy
When the racist issue of Hellenistic Jewish widows being treated poorly compared to the Hebraic Jewish widows in Acts 6 developed, the apostles responded. They called for 7 sons from Hellenistic families to take up the responsibilities of distributing food to their widows daily. The apostles’ stated rationale was that it would be inappropriate for them to “neglect the word of God” to wait on tables. Here are a few […]
Able to Comfort
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For as the sufferings […]
Getting Married
Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown […]
Prophets and Babylonians
Daniel was a prophet. In the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Daniel’s coworkers, the Chaldeans (implying Magi or powerful wise men), magicians, astrologers and mediums (who consulted the dead and exorcised demons), were all called together by Nebuchadnezzar. The king had an assignment for them. After they told him what he had dreamed during some troubling dreams he had recently experienced, they were to interpret those dreams as well. The […]
Spirit-Filled
If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.(Galatians 5:25 Holman Christian Standard Bible ©®) Since it is through the Spirit that we have Life, let it also be through the Spirit that we order our lives day by day.(Galatians 5:25 Complete Jewish Bible) A phrase made popular during the Charismatic Renewal from the 50’s through the 70’s makes me chuckle when I hear it anymore: “Spirit-filled.” […]
2 Kings Usurping
Two kings, Constantine and James 1 of England, attempting to usurp the authority of the King of Heaven over His people, brought forth the institution James named the “church.” Jesus never said anything in the Bible that mentioned what James 1 called church except some comments He made about synagogues. What Jesus did mention, over and over and over, was His Kingdom. He did mention “ekklesia,” which means something very […]
William Bordon
In 1887, William Bordon was born. He was heir of the extremely wealthy Bordon family, in Chicago. When he graduated from high school at 16, his parents gave him a trip around the world as a gift. While he traveled through various cultures and nations, he was struck by the pain and poverty he witnessed everywhere. He decided that his Savior was calling him to co-mission with Him to make […]
Trust Jesus
The more you trust Jesus with your life – for your provision, your protection, your health, your direction, correction, rest, strength; all you can think of and more – the more you will become a strength to the people who are around you. Even though they frequently disagree with you, they will still ask you for your help or your opinion. They will ask for prayer. The more they sense […]
