Where Two or Three Are Gathered… When 2 or 3 are gathered together in the name of Jesus Christ, He is in the midst. What if there are 4, 5 or more? If there are 2 or 3 gathered the focus is on the topic at hand. Once the 4th person is introduced it can easily shift. One of the 4 is going to be off base, is going to be physically in the circle, however, their heart, mind and soul may be in another location. This can be easily…

Rebuke In The Name Of Jesus Christ… Matthew 4:8-11 describes one of the great rules offered by Jesus Christ. It is a rule that is subtle, but powerful. It is a rule that is often overlooked and, most certainly, sits in a pile of rust in most of the “tool boxes” across the land. This rule, this tool, will change a persons day in an instant. It will lift a persons spirits and fill us with the Power, Strength and Love of Jesus Christ as soon as we speak it.…

Obtained Favor In His Sight… In our life of sin we, somehow by the grace of the Lord our God, obtain favor in His sight. When the Lord our God looks upon us He sees us through the blood of Jesus Christ. God sees us, even in our sin, as His child, perfect, anointed and holy. We can do not that; we can not earn that. It is a gift for those that believe. It is a gift that should not be squandered. It is as precious as life itself.…

Arise; For The Lord Has Delivered… Our mind can be a very, very dangerous neighborhood. It is the place where most of our fear lives. It is the place where the devil whispers a lie and transforms our heart. When a person hears in their mind awful words, phrases or sees images of things that don’t exist, who would plant such things as these in our mind? It is, for sure, not the Lord, our God. The devil loves to steal our identity and he is so accomplished at his…

The Lord Looked Upon Him… If a person has ever been down in the gutter, down-and-out, you know, like hit rock bottom, they know what it means to be in the fire of hell. Their life has been through something that a lot of people never get to experience. The trials, tribulations and utter terror of being in a place that is almost completely void of any Light. As a matter of fact if a person has ever experienced a black-out drunk, they know there is absolutely no Light. There…

The Lord Sent A Prophet… The story of Gideon can teach us so much about ourselves, about God and about our relationship to and with God which is the reason we come back to this story again and again. It is one of those stories that continues to unfold before us with each reading. It is absolutely alive with God, with Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, redemption and salvation. It is all there. And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the…

Dens Which Are In The Mountains… When the Lord, our God, tells us to do something and we ignore His command should we expect our life to continue down a path of blessings, promises fulfilled or should we expect something quiet different? If we walk with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and do our best – sincerely do our best – to follow His commandments of loving God and loving people at all cost, should we our heart and soul to be filled with Light, Strength and Beauty…

Upon Them Hath The Light Shined… Light. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. ~ Isiah 9:2 KJB We are to be a reflection of God’s Light. Where does this Light originate? For us, it’s origins are in Jesus Christ, the Great I Am. The beginning of all, the end all. We walk in His ways and others see this Light reflected upon us and they want to be…

Behold, I Have Told You Before… Jesus, our Lord and Savior, rarely raised His voice or had an unkind word to share. We sinners, on the other hand, are often harsh with our family and friends, coworkers and even strangers we come in contact. We are not suggesting this is the norm, but it is a reality. One occasion where Jesus, not raising His voice, but probably speaking with a very heavy heart, is explaining the coming time after the Temple is thrown to the ground and no stone is…

The Lord Our God is One Lord… God is the whole thing, beyond what we could ask or imagine. ~ Jamie Winship This is how we know that our God is God. God is bigger than anything we can think of; bigger than anything we know of and bigger than anything we even know to ask about. God just is. God is the Great I Am. What is the “the Great I Am”? Everything. Our minds can only produce so much imagery before we reach our capacity. God is beyond…
