The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #5 – Resurrection

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #5 – Resurrection

Resurrection for a believer is when the condition of the Word has been set free from containments or constraints. When there is total surrender and the work is complete that separates the believer from the former life and ways of doing things, the resurrection is the beginning of the transformation. Since former things are no longer a constraint for the believer, they are prepared to live a harmonious life on earth that has no limits. Each believer is made fully…

Leave The Mud Camp

Leave The Mud Camp

In a dream a friend and I were walking down a road when we found ourselves entering a camp. The street was muddy, the homes were old broken railroad cars and rusted trailers surrounded by mud. Mud was everywhere, and everyone we saw was dirty and caked with mud. I knew that we had to leave this area, or we would soon become part of the landscape. I turned to grab my friend’s hand, but she had wandered over to…

Pay Attention

Pay Attention

During the Spiritual Journey, always pay attention to the little things, particularly when they are repetitious. Repeated occurrences of something is one of the ways that God gets our attention. Several years ago, I had what I called ‘the dropsies’. The urbandictionary.com defines this phenomenon as “the complete and utter state where you have the tendency to accidentally drop everything you pick up, causing frustration and embarrassment if there are others in the vicinity.” Although in my case there was…

The Bicycle Race

The Bicycle Race

In a dream, I had joined a marathon bicycle race. Before I was finished, I got tired and was wanting to quit. I pulled off the trail in a rest area beside a field. Standing in the field was a man who was leaning on the fence looking at me. I leaned my bicycle on the fence and tiredly walked over to him. We began talking and I told him how tired I was and how much I wanted to…

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #4 – Death

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #4 – Death

Death is where past experience meets promised future, and can create anguish, uncertainty and confusion in the life of a believer on the Spiritual Journey. Death, although distressing, becomes the medium for change from how things once worked to how they will work. As the work of the Holy Spirit progresses, each step the believer takes becomes a question of ‘my will or Thy will’. As the believer has surrendered their former self-value, self-worth, self-importance and self-identity, anything remaining in…

Dreams of Death and Dying

Dreams of Death and Dying

In a dream, many people, including myself, were ushered into an auditorium. We were asked by the moderator if we knew why we were there, and no one seemed to know. The moderator stated that each person in the auditorium got to select how they wanted to die. “I’m not supposed to be here”, I thought, as the woman beside me wrote on her paper: ‘I want to die by being buried alive.’ The auditorium ushers came and escorted her…

Tick tock, tick tock

Tick tock, tick tock

Time is a friend, so use it patiently. For all that you are, and ever hope to be. Time or age is not what makes us into Christ’s image. Time, if not used wisely, does nothing but simply pass away. People say, “time will tell,” “time will heal,” or “time will bring out the potential in me.” But it is not time that does that; time will only come and go. It is only how we wisely and patiently use…

Up The Mountain

Up The Mountain

Head up the mountain and listen, for there are many things that are to be revealed. The road is steep, but it has been traveled before. Hush and stillness fill the air during ascension. Notice the fragrance. Sit for a while and gaze upon the distant hills and valleys below. There is a haze and darkness that fills the land. Slumber and laziness has filled the heads of many below. Continue the journey and carefully watch each step because the…

Feelings, Oh, Woh Woh Feelings…

Feelings, Oh, Woh Woh Feelings…

In the mid-1970’s, there was a song that reached the top of pop charts called “Feelings” in which the lyrics reflected the feeling of loss, sadness, misery and regret. Listening to the artist sing about tears rolling down his face could ultimately invoke your own rivers of tears as the flesh responded to this song of despair.  Whenever ‘feelings’ are invoked, whether negative or positive, it is important in the Spiritual Journey to understand the place and the purpose of…
