They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!”  Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?”  The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” John 19:15       In this great judgment scene, the deceived pretenders are being judged though they believe themselves to be the judges. Two worlds are colliding, and what looks like defeat for one is actually the demise of the other.  What people do with Jesus reveals what is in their... Read more

God is continuing to encourage and re-establish kingly-priestly activity beyond the walls of religious meetings and events. It has always been His desire to manifest Himself through His people in everyday, everywhere, and every way life. There is a strengthened reality of being a citizen of His present Kingdom that is breaking through paralyzed religious paradigms. Hopes and dreams are being resurrected in the midst of down economies and doom and gloom eschatology. This is happening by His Spirit as... Read more

SUFFERING AND SORROW ARE A PART OF LIFE. Knowing this, however, doesn’t make it any easier to cope when you find yourself in the midst of the deepest, darkest trials of faith, and mentally anguish and strain. Don’t you wish Christianity could make you exempt from suffering? That would be great, but as most of us have learned, following our faith doesn’t give us a free ride. We catch as much trouble as unbelievers—often more. The difference, of course, is... Read more

Church is the people of God, called out from self and into fusion with God Almighty in bringing His Kingdom glory to earth. We are called from slavery to freedom, despair to hope, darkness to light, manifesting to the world as His children and empowered by His Majestic Spirit. We must envision people of all ages, races, and societies supporting one another while establishing His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Read more

Saturday, October 16, 2010 Hiddenness Keeps Our Focus on God of by Robert Ricciardelli Hiddenness is important because it keeps our focus on God. In hiddenness we do not seek to be admired by man, but seek to please the Father, and go to Him in joy or sorrow knowing that He gives us what we need most. In society there is an inclination to avoid hiddenness while seeking to become visible and popular. We can lose touch with God... Read more

Mark 3:31-35: There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

Have you ever considered the story of Peter walking on the water?  There are actually five miracle in the story that should encourage us greatly!   But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a... Read more

Hiddenness is essential in our life with God. Solitude, prayer, loving others, ordinary tasks, working, and living in unspectacular ways is the life that Jesus mostly lived and asks of us to live also. It is often in hiddenness that we grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man, while finding true intimacy with God and His love for others. We must take time to be still and know He is the God of every moment. Read more
