Current Thoughts: Kingdom, Moving, Bible History, and Mental Health

1.) Biblically, I am studying "the kingdom", "the kingdom of God", and "the kingdom of heaven". Acts 1:3 ignited my interest in the subject. That verse seemed to highlight what a key concept this was in Jesus' ministry. So far, I am trying to break it down into categories including, but not limited to, what … Continue reading Current Thoughts: Kingdom, Moving, Bible History, and Mental Health →

The Transfiguration

"Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. And behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,who … Continue reading The Transfiguration →

Acts 1:3

"To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God." Acts 1:3 (NASB) Of all the things Jesus could've spoken about, why is the 'kingdom of God' what gets mentioned here? Why … Continue reading Acts 1:3 →

Rhema

"So, faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." - Romans 10:17 Another translation renders it, "...what is heard comes through the message about Christ." The Greek for "word" is not "logos" here, but "rhema". Personally, what this verse means to me is that I am made able to hear by God … Continue reading Rhema →

What You Need to See

“He who sees me sees the One who sent me.” -John 12:45 The glory is closer than you think. The doubters of Jesus’ time demanded a sign, and replied to Jesus with fierce indignation and arguments about how He couldn’t be who He said he was. They replied with a doctrine of distance when Jesus … Continue reading What You Need to See →

At the Heart Level

Sharing these passages, the theme I have in mind is that of God calling people closer to Him at the heart level: Isaiah 1:11-16 11 “What are all your sacrifices to Me?” asks the Lord. “I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the … Continue reading At the Heart Level →

Healing a Soul

The context here is John 5:1-15. Verse five is what hit me the hardest: “One man was there who had been sick for 38 years.” You can be healed of a condition, but how do you recover from being trained into a mindset, or from having your mindset reinforced by your circumstances? Thirty-eight years. How … Continue reading Healing a Soul →

Iterative Revelation: Generations

This has been hanging around in the back of my mind for a couple months now, but has been very challenging to articulate. Twice, I was praying by myself in my truck, and God stirred something in my spirit about generations. I can best describe it using the following example. Let’s say you lived a … Continue reading Iterative Revelation: Generations →
