Standing Up / Bowing Down… When do we stand up for what’s right? When do we lay down our lives for what we believe? What would you give your last breath for – your last breath? What is this life? Who’s in charge around here? Our nation, from coast-to-coast is in turmoil. Who wrote the script? Is there anyone entity we can look to for all this chaos, uprising and weirdness? Sexual perversion, riots and corruption being exposed on a scale most Americans would have never dreamed was happening. But…

Divine Power… Hearing from God is a gift from God. Would He hold out from His children? Would God give a little to this one without giving to another? The question then becomes how much does one believe. Do we walk in the faith and power of God or do we simply read from the Bible and then, perhaps, go to a religious building on Sundays? Do we follow Jesus Christ or not? Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious…

On Your Knees… It seems there are a great many people that simply don’t understand prayer, God, Jesus Christ and the communications between His children and Himself. There is this misguided belief that by a person getting on their knees and bowing before God is somehow one of the worst things a person could do. Actually, the exact opposite is true – getting on our knees and bowing before God is the single best thing we could do for our life and the lives of others – full stop. And…

Laid Hands on Them… Fellowship is amazing. We are made, in the eyes of God, to be with one another. We are intended to be with God, in His presence, with His children. Don’t think for a moment the evil-doers don’t know and fully understand this aspect of the Truth, they do. There is little else that can bring us together better than being together in His presence. There is little else that can strengthen our faith, our love and provide us the platform of repentance, that leads to redemption,…

He First Loved Us… Who is kind, who loved us first and only wants the best for us. That doesn’t mean that life will be a bowl of marshmallows and ambrosia, no it means that He loves us and we are to depend upon Him for all. Recently, there was a podcast where the host explained that if you wanted to know if Jesus was real you had to follow Him. Well, not too many of us actually follow His Word, follow His actions nor do we even respond when…

Breaking The Chains… If you’ve got pain, He’s a pain taker If you feel lost, He’s a way maker If you need freedom or saving, He’s a prison-shaking Savior If you got chains, He’s a chain breaker ~ Chain Breaker, Zach Williams The chains of addiction, the chains of pornography, the digital chains, the chains, the chains, the chains… So many chains, so little time. If you’ve been alive for any length of time chances are pretty high there have been some sort of chains placed upon your wrist. Sure,…

Awakening… Awaken my soul, come awake To hunger, to seek, to thirst Awaken first love, come awake And do as You did, at first! Spirit of the living God Come fall afresh on me Come wake me from my sleep Blow through the caverns of my soul Pour in me to overflow! To overflow ~ Fall Afresh, Jeremy Riddle What an amazing group of words that have the potential to open the heart, the mind and the spirit to the point of surrender. This has been one of those days,…

Be Bold… What do we fear, aside from everything? Why do we fear everything in our path? Is this life what it appears to be or are we on a journey from the point of conception to the end of time? Reaching the point of disgust with fear is what some refer to as “rock bottom”. When one has had enough of fear they turn away. The sad part is, the deep, dark fear is often replaced with a more subtle form of fear. Fear of the future and guilt…

Relationship With… Most all of us, with few exceptions, have very deep, meaningful relationships that allow us to “let our hair down”, speak in ways that we normally don’t speak in “polite company” or any company at all. Some, once again very few, are so comfortable with people and their relationship with God they are the exact same in the most intimate of moments with their bestest as with someone they just met. Having spent the last couple of months studying the first few chapters of Acts it appears the…

Remission of Sins… As the days go by and we either move closer to God or further from God, He never changes; He never leaves us. We can study His Word, we can breathe in His Word and we can do our level best to reflect His Light and we will be judged by Him for He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. With few exceptions during the dark years nothing of this was ever a thought. Getting closer to God was…
