The Spirit Himself Intercedes For Us… When our spirit is shaken and sitting on unstable ground it makes the whole of life a little uneasy. It makes the whole of our world a little less welcoming, a little less beautiful and little less loving. When our spirit can’t feel the presence of God it makes our heart a little harder and mind a little less open. Our eyes shift focus and we see things a little different. Our mind drifts to see things in our heart that may not be…

He Abides With You… Our strength comes from God and our salvation comes through Jesus Christ. The cup we drink from is His, the bread we eat is His. We are nothing without the breath of Life flowing into our lungs from the One who called us here. The deeper the dive the more a person comes to realize that prayer is the single most important tool in our tool box. We have the ability to communicate directly with God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit, our Comforter and…

The Power of The Lions… My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.” ~ Daniel 6:23 NASB95 Something happens when we get on our knees and pray. We should be praying throughout the day and night and a lot of times we find excuses, or we have legitimate reasons, why we can’t physically get on our knees and pray. When we can, we…

He Is Faithful and Righteous… As we blow our trumpets in the name of the Lord we light His torch to make the path clear. We follow our God where He sends us and we bring our entourage as He has directed. The men arise in the assured Victory of the Lord. We carry His banner for the world to see and give our God all the praise, all the glory and all the honor for surely He has won our Victory for us. We pray throughout the day to…

Encourage The Fainthearted… We spend with the Lord because we want to spend time with the Lord. It is not a “have-to” or “must” thing on our agenda, if it is, well, we should stop because Jesus knows our heart is in the wrong place. Jesus Christ knows that we are merely going through the motion and not really spending time with Him, but are satisfying some other need in our lives. Or we are simply “checking a box” on our to-do list. We should spend time with Jesus Christ…

Coming In Through The Gates… As we draw nearer to God, through Jesus Christ, our lives begin to change. How we conduct ourselves during our growth becomes all the more important. Our faith should be growing deeper and deeper while at the same time our reliance upon Jesus Christ should be more and more with each passing day. Our quiet time should become more meaningful and hearing from God all the easier. Unfortunately, since nothing is a bed-of-roses the road is not always smooth. There are days, even weeks, where…

He Who Receives Whomever I Send… If we are not greater than the One who sent us, why do we not act as if we are less than the One who sent us? We act as though we are something special, something above…we are not. We are merely humble servants and should act like it. When was the last time there was a foot washing ceremony where one humbled himself before the others for the express purpose of washing their feet? As we do this we are, in fact, following…

Listening To The Word of God… People don’t want to hear or see the truth of any kind. Comfortable lies are the preferred method of information for the masses. Jesus knew this. Why do you think He, Jesus, always referred to the masses as just that – the masses or multitudes or crowd – no identity, just a lump of mass screaming for bread, wine and another show – a miracle to be preformed by the latest talent to show up on stage. If you don’t believe what is said…

Salt Is Good… When we walk among our brothers and sisters are we engaged or are we aloof? If we are walking in the Light of Jesus Christ we should be engaged. We should honor our brothers and sisters in Christ. These are all His children, we all belong to Jesus as His Father gave us to Him. Why wouldn’t we engage with our brothers and sisters in Christ When we are working on our relationship with Jesus we find Him, where? Is Jesus on the mountain top or is…
