In his first letter to the congregations in Corinth, Paul suggested three times that they should do something, and one time that they shouldn’t. The root of the word he was using means to heat up, or to boil. The times he suggested they should do it are in 12:31, 14:1, & 14:39. There, he suggested that they should do […]
Please consider taking an hour sometime soon to be still and quiet. Ask the Spirit of the Lord to help you imagine something about your future that you need to prepare for. Ask Him what that preparation is. Don’t be so distracted by the current flow of minutes and hours and duties and demands that you miss hearing that a […]
Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and you will receive gifts — the full measure, compacted, shaken together and overflowing, will be put right in your lap. For the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure back to you! Luke 6:37-38 Complete […]
Early in the morning, as He was returning to the city, He was hungry. Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered. When the disciples saw it, they were […]
The laws that Yahweh gave Israel through Moses included many activities that had to happen outside of their camp. Anyone who became unclean had to spend time outside the camp.

Being tired is required for a car. If you are frequently tired, it may indicate that you are bored or mismatched with your ministry. A pastor who has been hired as the only minister in a congregation is likely to be tired for many reasons. Having to present 1 to 4 inspirational talks and/or Bible expositions each week would be […]
It was the middle of the 15th century before a person could purchase a copy of a Bible that had been printed instead of transcribed by hand. Reduction in the cost of printing continued to progress until in 1579, a law was created in Scotland that required every household that could afford to do so to purchase a copy of […]
In Acts 16:16-34, Luke described a sequence of events that led to a miracle. Paul and Silas were preaching in Philippi. They cast an unclean spirit out of a girl whom it had empowered to predict the future. Her owners drug them to a Roman court in the city. The judges had them stripped, beaten, and jailed with their feet […]
Whether we are sent to be the only messenger Yahweh has yet sent to a group of people so deep in the jungles or mountains that we will never again see anyone who looks like us, or we have an assignment that seems so insignificant that anyone could do it, and probably better than us, we should be fully committed […]
What are you in the earth as a son or daughter of Yahweh to be and do? If you don’t know yet, ask Him. Ask others to pray for you to get this very important revelation. If you do know, but you are not yet prepared to be able to do it, then get prepared. Does it take a certain skill? […]
