“Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not against us is for us. There are other Christians that don't believe the same way you do. Perhaps they are off in their doctrine about certain things. However, what unites us all is our belief that Jesus is the W

Trust in the LORD together. Trusting in the LORD is so much easier with brothers around you trusting in the LORD with you. What a gift to have the Body of Christ helping and encouraging each other through various trials and tribulations. I think of Paul and Silas in prisoners chains singing out to the LORD together in such harsh circumstances. Able to encourage each other and endure such persecution. Don't try to be a lone ranger in the Body of Christ. It is meant for us to d

Set up your tabernacle in me. Oh Holy Spirit, like a skilled incense maker that blends ingredients to make holy anointing oil. Use the sacred oil of your presence to anoint me as a Tabernacle unto the LORD. Yes, touch every part of my life and flow the oil of your presence over every part of my heart and soul! I have been washed clean and purified by the blood of Jesus! Yes, by his death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. And

Our Heavenly Father knows how to raise children. So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you. He does not do everything for them. He trains them in the way they should go and they will not depart from it later. He sends trials to produce our characters. He allows temptations to build our dependence on him. And he allows tribulations to make us more like the image of Christ. The devil has created many spoiled sons and daug

We always think about a fathers love calling his lost son home. But imagine with me the blessing of having a good mother in the home. Who raises her children in the LORD. Nurturing and teaching early in age from her breast to full grown adults from her heart. Yes, preparing her children's hearts early in the ways of the LORD in the only way God has called her to do. A training in righteousness that as children get older they do not depart from it. Listen to your father who g

I was driving by a graveyard and saw a tombstone with the name Lazarus. Alleluia! Truly, truly, I tell you, he who believes has eternal life. Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” Lazarus rose a

New Season. Fresh Word. The word in this new season is Bloom. Yes, the LORD wants you to bloom in his presence. To bloom where you are planted, even if you are in a hard place. When the sunlight of his love comes over your heart, you will shoot your leaves and flower straight towards the Heavens! Like a great stretch you will reach for spirit and life, drawing from the Light in Christ's eyes. I see a field of sunflowers that no man can count that follow the Sun of Righteousne

We judge by our faces. Our faces people see every day and we make judgment calls on peoples reactions and looks. We tend to always judge surface level and never take the time to look within. We miss out on so much by not taking the time to know somebody. Think about how many faces you see a day whether at the store, traffic, and at work. You can't talk to everybody of course. But their are people God is calling us to do and we avoid them for the strangest of reasons. People h

Alone with you. I always used to feel like a lone soul without a home. But now I've come to realize that I'm right where I belong. Alone with you LORD. Yes, in the cool of day my soul thirsts for you the Living God! Oh how precious is the secret place where I am alone with you! It is where I truly find myself and strengthen my inner man. All of my help, all of my strength comes from the LORD. Christ in me the hope of glory. He has made his home in our hearts as we trust in hi

God is everywhere but on reveals Himself to those who want to see Him. Meaning someone could live there whole life breathing his air in their lungs and still not know the power of the life of Christ. For The LORD gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and
