But the things that used to be advantages for me, I have, because of the Messiah, come to consider a disadvantage. Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison with the supreme value of knowing the Messiah Yeshua as my Lord. It was because of him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, […]
The earth is a planet. The world is the systems of people living on it. The earth is waiting for something to happen in the spirit – for the revelation of the sons and daughters of God. The bar & bat mitzvah of the ages… The Spirit himself bears witness with our own spirits that we are children of God; […]
As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love. If you keep My commands you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have spoken these things to you so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. […]
Life is complicated. Life in the Spirit is more complicated than carnal life in the world. Our God wants awesome things happening in and through our lives. Even when we refuse to do things the way He has made it clear they should happen, He works with us to cause His will to happen to the greatest degree possible under […]
How can you tell if a ministry is really something God is doing in the earth or in the Body? People are accused of false works all the time. There are ways to pretend you have healed someone.

Someone has said well that we are CHRISTians, not BIBLians. We should be more founded in Him than in His Book, as valuable as it is. He is the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. The Ekklesias of Christ proved that we can be powerful Christians with or without a printed New Testament. For a few hundred years they […]
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in […]
Jesus never quoted the New Testament. Jesus Himself is, however, the Word of God. In that capacity, He is FAR more than the poems and letters and histories and prophecies that were written down and canonized (after much argument) into what we call the Holy Book (“bible”). Paul said that all we need in order to become believers in Jesus is […]
Voltaire: “It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.” Eros is a word that denotes self-love. It amounts to me liking some things or some people because they make me feel good. It usually doesn’t focus on one desire longer than 2 years or so, unless it is revived by something that freshens the desirable target […]
