The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #2 – Earthly Ministry

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #2 – Earthly Ministry

This is the evangelistic period when the knowledge of God is sown in the heart of the believer by the Spirit. The hearer receives the word through listening to teachings, reading scripture, books and literature. Devotions, quiet times, and prayers become part of daily living. Guard the heart and protect all that is given. Anyone desiring to only know God will be separated to a secret place to hear more than what is written in the bible or spoken in…

Everything Seems Backwards

Everything Seems Backwards

In a dream, I was leaning over tying my tennis shoes. When I stood up and took a step, I looked down and my shoes were on backwards. I sat back down, switched and re-tied them. When I stood up and took a couple of steps, I saw my shoes were on backwards again. As I sat back down, I thought, “What the heck is going on?” No matter how many times I switched them, when I stood up to…

It’s OK to Kick Up Some Dust

It’s OK to Kick Up Some Dust

God understands where we are and the things we face, and He understands if there are times we may grumble a little bit and ‘kick the dirt’, so to speak. Sometimes this is the way for us to get our heart right first. Then, we are to remember the importance of godly integrity and honesty in everything we do and say. We must refuse to allow the fear of rejection to tempt us to use deception as a means of…

Fleecing

Fleecing

Fleecing is a medium, acting as an intervening force to determine some action, or direction desired. The word ‘if’ always accompanies the fleece and exempts the individual of the responsibility for the course taken. By using a fleece, the eternal spirit is deprived of its rightful authority to give divine instructions to the asker.

There Is Only One

There Is Only One

There is one of all. Every one and every thing is an extension or indication of that one original existence. For example, there is only one love. When it is broken up and applied to objects, it is seen as many kinds of love: love your child, love your dog, love your house, love your job. But when it is left whole and pure, and not broken up, then Love knows no bounds. The same is true with fear. There…

Surrender

Surrender

The long, slow process of surrender enables the believer to enter their eternal home. To finally belong in a spiritual environment that’s satisfying is where safety, security and happiness reside. Little by little, self-created ideas and plans are surrendered until the believer is totally disconnected from the past addictive nature and its sensual earth bound life. Total surrender of the will is when the believer has been stripped of former values and worth and can begin the transformation to the…

Heaven’s Intent

Heaven’s Intent

Heaven looks to partner with anyone who answers the call. A lifestyle of cooperation is needed for God to work through an individual and effortlessly bring about the will of God on the earth.

Be Fruitful and Multiply

Be Fruitful and Multiply

In order to be fruitful and multiply, God needs us in that perfect place of His design. To get into that perfect place, we have to have everything of ourselves removed. If we could get to that perfect place by our own volition, we would be fruitful and multiply all of our own foolishness that we currently know and use. That would be our eternal state: poverty, ignorance, sickness and disease would be the produce. This is why God is the only…

Grouchy!

Grouchy!

Sometimes we find ourselves with an inner ‘grrrr’ towards people, situations, circumstances, or even toward ourselves. Sometimes it ebbs and flows, other times it can be more constant for days at a time. Know that there is nothing to do about the way you feel, except just BE QUIET. The turmoil usually means that more maturity is needed. Take the time to absorb or reflect on what God has said to you. For now, you are still walking in what you…

Anger

Anger

Anger is displayed when you are not satisfied with where you are, what you are doing and you can’t do anything about it. It’s wanting and not having. These desires may or may not be godly, and there is no earthly means that will alleviate the dilemma. There are lots of reasons for anger, but only one cause – dissatisfaction. It’s a long road home, not counting the work necessary to bring about the compatibility needed for the unfamiliar yet divine…
