When Deep Calls Unto Deep, Part I From The Collected Works of Watchman Nee, Volume 37 Psalm 42:7 says, “Deep calls unto deep.” Only a call from the depths can provoke a response from the depths. Nothing shallow can ever touch the depths, nor can anything superficial touch the inward parts. Only the deep will respond to the deep. Anything that does not issue from the depths cannot touch the depths. Others can respond deep within to only what issues…

Why is it so difficult for someone to take my advice? If I know the truth, then why don’t they hear? I desire to help them so their life can be fixed. And how do I know the appropriate things to say to them? Giving advice is all based on one’s own private experiences. Even the Spiritual Journey may differ because of individual belief systems and internal thoughts and prejudices. That is what drives behavior. God has already determined who…
Have you ever paused to reflect on the unique gift within you that you might have overlooked? It could be a remarkable ability that has accompanied you throughout your life—something you’ve taken for granted and yet holds great significance. These gifts, often referred to as abilities or talents, are inherently yours. God bestowed something in you at birth, while other abilities are awakened when you experience spiritual rebirth or are filled with the Spirit. As you journey through spiritual maturity,…
Throughout the history of the United States, many have prayed and interceded for this country. From the beginning, our Founding Fathers faithfully prayed and believed for the United States to thrive, particularly as we were separating from the oppression of England and establishing our own nation. Consider praying on of the following prayers to speak over America. These are based on quotes and prayers from our Founding Fathers, and grounded in the Word of God. 1) “Lord, I come before…
I had a dream about two woman I know well who came to visit me. They were familiar with my home and walked in without ringing the doorbell, which still surprised me. After we exchanged pleasantries, they began telling me what I needed to do with various situations in my life. They were shaming me about certain circumstances that I was facing. They strongly advised me about what to do regarding several people in my life. They also got angry…
Spiritual ignorance is prevalent in today’s world. We have so much information readily available at our fingertips, yet most people do not seek God for wisdom—for anything, including the truth. Many sit at the gateway lost and confused, rather than to boldly confront the spiritual ignorance that prevents asking for guidance and direction. This is easily identifiable by the words people speak. In the last two weeks, I have had been part of conversations where people say, “we’re only human”,…
Recently a friend kept saying to me, “I’m sorry for you”, “I’m sorry you are going through that”, or “I’m sorry, so, so sorry, about that.” As I walked away, there was a heaviness on me. It felt like darkness, an oppression, a heavy weight that I didn’t understand. Then I realized what she was speaking into my life: SORROW. I searched and searched my Bible to find somewhere—anywhere—where Jesus told someone that he was sorry for them. The woman…
Do you hear the echo of the distance cries of Christians being persecuted willing and ready to die? Do you hear their prayers filled with faith and grief asking God for comfort, for peace, and for relief? Do you see each tear drop as they roll down each face of those that are imprisoned for sharing God’s grace? Do you see the hurting the wounded and the dead those who have been tortured for the words that they’ve said? Do…
Being a spiritual helper requires an understanding and spiritual insight about what is currently needed in the person’s life. When you are called into an assignment to help someone, ask God for wisdom in order to help the person where they are, not with what you want them to surrender. The Spirit is the one who knows how to help each person, so develop the sense to hear him. When you have no current assignment, continue your walk with…
