Walking In The Gifts… When do we begin walking in the full power of the Holy Spirit? Our Father in Heaven anoints us in the Holy Spirit and we are to walk hand-in-hand while His great power fills us from head-to-toe. Then what? And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and…

Faith and Power… There have been moments in most everyone’s life when it seemed as if they were not in control in their life. Something happens, words are said or they are able to perform a task at a level never thought possible. Most everyone has heard a story about a person lifting a car off someone and saving their life. Do you believe these stories of wonder and great power? And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy…

Acceptance, Belief – None of the Rest Dared Join Them… A couple of weeks ago our Daily Devotional morphed and the tag line – Either the Gospel is divine inspiration, the Word of God teaching us how to live and how to act, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events. – has been added to each writing. This is our belief. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he…

Willingness / Obedience… While attending AA meetings, sometimes as many as 7-8 meetings a week, the term “willingness” was discussed a lot. We have to be willing before anything, anything at all, happens in our lives. We must be willing to succeed just as we must be willing to fail in order to advance in a given situation or in our lives. It isn’t until Step 8 that the word “willing” appears – Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them…

As We Dive Deeper… Over the past 10+ years it has been fascinating to see how God opens doors when we finally realize that a door exist. Once we seek, ask and knock and God opens the door the wonder of the size of His kingdom that lay in wait should blow anyone’s mind. As we dive deeper and take another step in the discovery of our Christ identity and the fact that God speaks directly to those who know their Christ identity we find more and more and more…

What To Do…What To Do? Let your Kingdom come. Let the Lord fill this space, lift of our heart, soul and mind with Your love, Your strength and the Truth of the Way. Jesus we love you. We are weak, while He is our strength. All our dreams are dependent upon our faith. All our lives belong to Him and Him alone. Let it rise, let it rise the aroma of Your sweet love as we bend our knee before You and confess our sins in Your Light. We give…

We’re Grateful For One… We must remember to seek, ask and knock when the enemy (devil/satan/lucifer) makes his presence known to us, usually by calling us by a false identity like the names spelled out below. Once we accept this lie, he usually morphs into something else. Our responsibility to our Father is to call upon Him for guidance. When one person comes to Jesus Christ, is filled with the Holy Spirit at our church, it’s a big deal. People rejoice, celebrate and sing praise for someone being reborn in…

Since The World Began… He knew us before time began, yet, we still turn away, run away and do all we can to turn our back on God. He is still there, lovingly waiting, for us to realize that He has never left our side. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit have been there with us the entire time we thought we were hiding from God. It is by our faith in Jesus Christ that we can turn our lives around, see through our blindness, walk on broken legs and…

What Shall We Do… For a number of years, well, 25+ to be exact, running away from God and never knowing what to do, who to be or how to live was the rule-of-the-day. “Living spontaneously” was how it worked. Never a plan for anything, just awaken, live, stay drunk or altered in some manner, then pass out late into the evening. This was “living” or so it seemed at the time. There is nothing “living” about this type of lifestyle. It is not recommended for anyone, but somehow a…

What Shakes Us… Most of us have encountered situations in our lives that make us see things in a different light. Sometimes it involves a family member or it could be our health or some other major event comes into view. If the foundation we stand upon is weak as shifting sand, we shake from the outside-in. This was demonstrated in Acts 2 as Luke was describing the reaction of the people when they heard and saw the believers being filled with the Holy Spirit. And there were dwelling in…
