Hosea 4:1-3
Interesting parallel: In Hosea 4:1-3 because of Israel’s sin and unfaithfulness to God the land suffered, birds and fish died. Think about the past few weeks and months. Earthquakes, millions of fish dying along side thousands of birds falling out the sky. What is God saying about the condition of our world? Its sounds similar to what’s described in Hosea 4. We need to repent and turn...

You’re in a War of Words and How Eve Lost
Let me jump straight to the point. We’re in a war and this war is not fought with guns, knives or bats but with words. Satan’s entire agenda is to get you to doubt what God has said to you and derail you. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (NIV) tells us:
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have...

Early last week I was lying down and out the blue the scripture “redeeming the time” (Ephesians 5:16 KJV) hit me. Then the Lord dropped this on me:
“In the Lord there is no such thing as “time wasted”. Stay committed to the Lord until the end. He has a way of redeeming whatever time you thought you lost.”
Redeem means “Compensate for the faults...

Your Life and Lazarus
At times we question “God why are you taking so long?” Answer: He’s not. Everything about your life is being orchestrated so in the end He gets the glory. God’s purpose for your life is to be an example of His reality. People will point to your life and say ”All things are possible with God!” and turn to Him. I woke up with the story of Lazarus on my heart....

A few weeks back my brother @Lavoisier_MC posted the follow question on Twitter:
“Ok Lord, loving pple is challenging, I get it…loving enemies is harder…but how did you eat, love & pray w/ Judas?”
Here was my answer: “You continue to love Judas. I don’t think for one second Jesus didn’t know Judas was stealing from the money bag…..even when...

What is Real Love?? Answer....
“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Distractions
“Be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming…if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.” Matthew 24:42-43 NASB

How to Survive the Waiting Game....
No matter what God has called us to do, one of the most difficult things we will face is the in-between time. In the beginning, He prepares our hearts for the calling. He gives us a glimpse of His plans for us, and it births great hope within us.
The difficulty is that there is always a time lag between the initial preparation and the outcome. The beginning often carries a great emotional...

#LessonFromJob
In the midst of trials, loss or sickness, what is your response? Is it like Job or his wife? Job’s response in the face of calamity was “he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised.”
His wife was faced with the same trial and her response was...

Appointed Times
In spite of escalating turmoil in our world, there remains one last, great outpouring of mercy during the end times (see Matthew 24:14; Acts 2:17). This supernatural season of grace has been predetermined. It is an “appointed time” of the Lord.
For those unaware, an appointed time is, in...
Unforgiveness is like having one of these....
..thrusted into your body but you refuse to remove it. If you hold on to it, it will eventually kill you! Unforgiveness does nothing more than bring harm to yourself and ultimately robs you of your peace and joy. The cousins of unforgiveness are laid out in Ephesians 4:31 which are “bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” For the...

Facebook, Twitter, IPhones, Driods, Blackberry’s, etc are all entertaining and great tools to communicate and connect with other people. But, how much time are you actually spending with the Lord and hearing from Him? This was a challenge issued to me so I’m sharing it with you. If you want more of Jesus you’ll be required to give up more for Him. Hebrews 12:1...

Motivation to stomp on the devil...
We watched this very clip yesterday at our meeting. Look at how the devil will come to you at your weakest point and start casting doubt on what God said. But pay attention as to how Jesus overcame him. The next time the devil attacks you, do what Jesus did.

The Question that Changed My Life
A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church. I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe. It is a short version of the history of...

The first thing that I want to establish is the Gospel message is summed up in the fact that Jesus, the perfect sacrifice, paid the debt of sin that we (humanity) could never payoff. Our works are nothing but filthy rags (which in the Hebrew meant a woman’s menstrual cloth) & He (Jesus) is the only way that we can fellowship with the Father for eternity. Jesus is our payment for...
The End Times & Spiritual Insight from Twitter...
Let me tweet for a minute about the end times. I believe more spiritual insight (or revelation) will be released to the church first & then to the world about the end times. It will not be added to the Scriptures but rather the Scriptures will confirm the insight/revelation. I draw everything from the Scripture so let me show you. From the book of Daniel, we have gained our understanding...

Different view on The National Day of Prayer
I encourage everyone to participate in the day of prayer because our President, country, families and the world is in desperate need of prayer and for the Lord to move. Prayer truly changes things and that is not a cliche. But here’s something to think about. Why do we as Christian actually wait for one day of unified prayer when the Bible tells us to “pray without ceasing” (1...

A few thoughts I shared on Twitter 4/24/10
My tweets were inspired by 1 John 2:15-17 and in those verses we are warned to not love the world. For some reason the Lord wanted me to tweet those thoughts that came out of reading those verses. I hope they help you in some way. Let 1 John 2:15-17 speak to you:
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the...
