Promises…Blessings That Overflow Have you ever made promise to someone or to God? “Fox-hole-prayers” used to flow like water off-a-ducks-back. “Please God, make this stop and I promise…” They all sounded a lot like that. Needless to say, they were all, 100%, broken and never fulfilled. When everything changed and God gave the life changing dream, the promise was one-way. Not from me to Him, but from Him to me. That promise has never been broken, nor will it ever change. The many blessings that have filled this life, from…

Isolation, being alone and left in house without anyone around allows the monsters to come out of their respective cages and do what they do – ruin everything. When we hear things that are not from God we should call it out, immediately and never, ever allow it to feaster or gain any momentum. We should, at once, call upon Jesus Christ, saying His name out loud, and turn our attention to His holiness.…

II Corinthians 3:1-3 NKJB If you’ve ever been…

Shall Be Your Servant… For close to ten years life was filled with travel, lawlessness and sporadic homelessness. During this time there was great emphasis on “things” of a spiritual nature. There was time devoted to Hinduism, Judaism, Native American practices and Buddhism. The only thing that was ignored was a study of the Holy Bible and the teachings of the Prophets, the Disciples and the King of kings, Jesus Christ. There was one piece that runs through all the disciplines as that is servitude. While on the road we…
