Evidence of Your Deliverance

"...because the ruler of this world has been judged." -Jesus, in John 16:11 (HCSB) "So when they arrest you and hand you over, don't worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour - say it. For it isn't you speaking, but the Holy Spirit." -Jesus, in … Continue reading Evidence of Your Deliverance →

Small Acts in a Big World

Friday, December 11th, 2020: On my lunchbreak, driving to pick up food, I prayed. I was praying because I heard that a customer from work had just died from complications related to Covid 19. Two things came out of that prayer time. One was a profound anger about this whole pandemic situation; not merely the … Continue reading Small Acts in a Big World →

This is the Body

1 Corinthians 12:7 "A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial..." What is given? A manifestation of the Spirit. For what purpose? To produce what is beneficial.  These are Divine gifts given not merely to the individual through whom they are manifest, but to other members of the … Continue reading This is the Body →

Yes, You

In my previous post, Identity Drift I commented, Moses being alive did not make Israel successful, nor did Jesus being on the earth mean that everyone followed Him, nor did the apostles being alive mean that everything was perfect in the church in those days. I said this to make a point about assuming that another … Continue reading Yes, You →

The Promise of the Spirit

John 16:7-11 "Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth, it is to your benefit that I go away, because if I don't go away, the Counselor will not come to you.  If I go, I will send Him to you.  When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgement: about sin, … Continue reading The Promise of the Spirit →

True Obedience

I wrote in Following the Spirit : Do not be self-absorbed in your in performance, but be present in love. This has been an important word for me lately, because the problem described here has been a chronic problem in my spiritual life.  Partially, this has to do with bridging the gap between what I … Continue reading True Obedience →

On Stage

- I wonder, if you don't struggle a bit to put something together when you are tasked to teach or preach, if you should be preaching.  Things can flow very naturally when the message is from the Holy Spirit, but I am talking about the risk of being a pro in your own ability and … Continue reading On Stage →

Callings and Arguments

In John 12:1-7, Judas chastised Mary for anointing Jesus’ feet with an expensive, fragrant oil, which he argued could’ve been sold and the proceeds given to the poor. Jesus replied, “Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of my burial. For you always have the poor with you, but you do not … Continue reading Callings and Arguments →

My Two Biggest Fears

My two biggest fears are; 1.) Not having sufficient emotional abundance and availability to really be helpful on that level to those who are closest to me, primarily my wife and possible children in the future. 2.) Getting stuck at a level, personally, professionally, and spiritually that is well below my potential. Why these thoughts … Continue reading My Two Biggest Fears →

Purpose and Holiness

Recently, God was speaking to me about how holiness is connected with purpose.  It's easy to think of holiness as it relates to things that are obvious sins, but even those sins can be thought of as not just wrong or bad, but as violations of, or deviations from, God's purpose for a person. When … Continue reading Purpose and Holiness →
