Ask not what the kingdom of God can do for you, rather ask what you may do for the Kingdom. People are often seeking after peripherals and miss the center which is His Kingdom and His righteousness. The Kingdom center within you desires to give without needing anything else in order to pour out. People seek after a word, a revival, an anointing, and sometimes miss the fact that the Anointed One is in them and already has given them... Read more
There will always be critics in your life, and some that will create some conflict. Critics often love it when you engage with them and will use antagonistic antics to get you off your course and on to theirs. Jesus did not waste His time defending Himself to the naysayers and neither should you. Whatever they may think or say does not define you, determine your value, and they cannot keep you from your destiny. Stand confident as a child... Read more
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:7 (ESV) We all need wisdom. Where do we find it? As we listen to the Father’s instruction to a son, we discover that we have a choice of our source. We can either be wise in our own eyes or we can trust completely in the Lord. None of us wants...

Col. 3:12-14: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) The garments of Jesus Christ: what a thought for today! How will I know I have put on these heavenly garments. I will... Read more
“And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell.” (Isa. 58:12) The Gathering Together of the Saints True Christians from all backgrounds share an expectation commonly known as the rapture of the church (see 1 Thess. 4:16-17). Although debate surrounds the timing of this event, Scripture assures us that at the last trumpet... Read more
It is only science-fiction until it becomes science-fact of the supernatural of God on earth. Science is proving more and more in a God who loves, creates, and eternally desires to be one with His creation. Absolute truth and the unfolding mysteries of God reveal themselves to renewed minds and expectant hearts. As we allow God to peel away the hardened layers of our hearts, we can embrace Him with child like faith. Children of God’s light and love are... Read more
We must know God as not separate from ourselves. He is within, around, and in-between every fabric of our being. God’s indwelling presence is our inner authority, guide, and experience that we can know intimately. Knowing that we are connected to God and the power of God, we can live in the realm of the supernatural in every moment. To live in Christ is to live a shared energy that is not dependent on my actions, intelligence, or willpower. Abundant... Read more
Work is natural to man and always has been a part of God’s plan for man. It is in our work, the art of our work, that adds great meaning to life. Without working in our purpose and being purpose filled in our work, life is dull, uninteresting and monotonous. Honest labor is also praise and worship to God. Great civilization and culture is always an achievement of great productivity in labor, inspiration and favor from God who manifests brilliantly... Read more

We can live for nothing or die for something. People of faith have chosen to die to a lesser life in order to live in the greatest life. Dying is not easy and self does not like it much. Jesus said, “If you want to find your life, you must lose it.” He must increase and we must decrease for real life to be manifested. This is not a life of giving up our identity, it is a life of...
