Keep Watching My Beloved!

It is difficult to make sense of the world today. Almost every day I look at the headlines and I am increasingly shocked. I am shocked by the growing boldness of evil: No longer does evil even try to hide itself in half-truths and deceptions. No longer are lies subtle.…

The POWER of Praise and Worship From the Heart

  I’m forgiven, because You were rejected. I’m accepted, You were condemned!  I’m alive and well, Your Spirit lives within me; Because You died and rose again! Amazing Love!  How can it be? That You, my King should die for me? Amazing Love, I know it’s true, And it’s my joy…

THE NAME

I found this journal entry from about a year ago.  It was early in the morning when I wrote this prayer.  I was struggling, as I still do, and I always have, to "stay on course".  I struggle against procrastination.  I struggle against distractions.  YouTube and Facebook could entrap me…

PEARL OF GREAT PRICE

I dreamed that I was given the chance to purchase something of tremendous value to me.  Around me there was great scoffing that it was not worth it, but immediately I handed over one $20 bill after another to purchase this valuable thing which I had not yet seen.  Then there…

Free Will Offering

Have you ever had a season of intense spiritual battle, when it seems almost impossible for you to do the things you most desire to do?   I came across this entry from May of 2017.   It was season of struggling.  I felt dryness and strangely  disconnected from my…

Overcoming The Spirit of Un-Belief

At the beginning of the year 2015, I got up early in the morning to sit before the Lord.  I was not sure of what He was showing me in my dreams of the night.  I had no words to fit the images into, and I could find no words…

Our Brother’s Keeper

I woke up today with a burden on my heart.  The headlines are filled with stories and images of a world in distress.  Floods, fires, famines, natural disasters, increasing religious persecutions leading to massive numbers of refugees and orphans needing safe harbor, food, medicine, shelter…the list goes on and on!…

Created For, and Identified with Christ 

…And God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.     Genesis  1:27 And Jehovah God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper as his counterpart.     Genesis…

Wealth is a Test! Give and Distribute Abundantly!

I awoke knowing a concept had turned over and over in my spirit throughout the night, but I could not grasp it.  I only remember the conscious thought, “This is primitive!” It was something so ancient…but I could not even assign a word to describe any of it beyond that.…

Searching In The Deep Darkness For What I Need: Love

In a dream, I remember being under the surface of the earth.  It is like some kind of cave/cavern.  I am searching.  I remember mostly the dark, damp earth under my feet.  I can smell it’s musty organic fragrance.  I’m searching for something deeper.  My eyes are scanning the earth. …
