How I Hear the Father Speak to Me
Unless you’re taking a test and the Teacher is silent, the Father is always speaking. It’s up to us to learn how He’s speaking in this season, or else we may just miss it. Job 33:14 says – For God speaks time and again but a person may not notice it. Why is it so [...]
Since God’s In Charge, Is He in Control?
For a number of years I’ve been working through our relationship with God and why prayer is important. I’ve learned not to blame God for the works of the one who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Bill Johnson has an amazing take on all of this and this is another teaching I want to [...]
Should I Be Hungry for God?
Should I be hungry for God? I came across this verse in Scripture and it jumped out as one that we push off into eternity. The problem I have with doing that is that the context doesn’t seem to suggest we need to leave it until we die. Jesus was saying some difficult things that [...]
Kingdom – What About the Kingdom?
I’ve had many comments in emails and on some of the social networks I belong to that sound like warnings not to rock the boat. Most suggest, people are preaching the gospel if they simply teach “Jesus came, lived, died, rose again, ascended, and is coming back to judge the living and the dead, so [...]
70 Functions of the Holy Spirit
We just had a an incredible weekend with the Holy Spirit… yes, I know He’s already in us, around us and on us at all times…but there are moments and times when He’s more palpable and people are healed, relationships are restored and good things happen…I’m still shaking sensing His presence now. I’d better go [...]
Angels – 20 Characteristics of Angels I See In Scripture
In her book, Spiritual Revolution: Experience the Supernatural in Your Life Through Angelic Visitations, Prophetic Dreams, and Miracles Patricia King shows a great deal of Biblical research on Angels. Instead of going to my handy Dictionary of Bible Themes I’ve started my study on the characteristics of angels from Patricia’s work. Here are 20 Characteristics [...]
Angels – 18 things we see Angels do In Scripture
In my ongoing posting about Angels, I think it’s time we look at Scripture to see what they actually do. We can all have pre-conceived ideas about fat-little babies with small wings playing harps and sitting on clouds. That’s probably the most common and worst description of angels. Here are 18 things we see Angels [...]
Angels – Four Facts to Remember about Angels
In a previous post I started to talk about the new cessationism that is prominent in some Christian circles. I believe it’s because we have a retreat mentality every time someone we disagree with goes overboard. I’m finding more and more Christian leaders are afraid to talk about angels. They don’t want to seem “too [...]
How Can We Seek the Lord?
We’ve previously discussed WHY we should seek the Lord. But I still haven’t gotten around to discussing how we can. As I mentioned earlier, “I guess I always thought it meant “pray longer” maybe even “pray louder”. Of course it meant to fast…” But what does the Bible say about it. I know I’m ticking [...]
Why Should we Seek the Lord?
It’s best I don’t assume everyone buys into a life of “following hard after God”. Every tribe of church has our own language and assumptions and what makes perfect sense to one won’t mean a thing to the next. Truth be told, even if we think we know what “seek the Lord” means, chances are [...]
