Faith

Have faith, just believe! In Hebrews 11:1 it says ‘Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That is a great verse, but one that is hard to wrap our heads around. How do I believe and hope for something I have no evidence of? In Matthew chapter 8 Jesus gives us an example of this mountain moving faith. A Roman Centurion came to Jesus and asked him to heal…

Gut Punch

Today was just a gut punch kinda day. The verdict against Trump was unbelievable. I believe it will rip the country further apart. But for those frustrated (I’m included in that) remember Joseph was thrown in jail for attempted rape. Daniel was thrown in the lion’s den for ignoring a law against his faith. Also the 3 Hebrew boys faced a fiery death because they refuse to bow to the world system.…

Coincidence?

I don’t believe in coincidence. First the Key (Francis Scott Key) Bridge a main life line of America is taken out. Then the Statue of Liberty (a symbol of freedom) is struck by lightning. Now before I hear the buts, yes I know it does happen, however this just happened in a series of events. Finally a 4.8 earthquake hits New Jersey by Whitehouse station. The last such earthquake to hit the area…

Selah

Some words get easily skipped over in the Bible since they are unnecessary, or seemingly unimportant detail. The word Selah falls into that category. Selah’s true meaning is not really known but it is considered to be a musical term meaning to get loud…whether in music or vocals. However Selah also has a very overlooked meaning, it means “forever”. Forever is a big word, with big meanings.…

Fire

I have a wood stove that keeps the house warm during the cold winter months. On any given day, I put wood in it and not think about it again until the next time it needs wood. Tonight, God used my wood stove to show me a spiritual truth. My wood stove is the type that I can put wood in through the front or through the top. Unless the piece is awkward or unusually large, I put wood in through the…

The Voice of God

The thunder is rolling outside right now…loud rumblings. Do you know that Lord speaks in the thunder? In 1 Samuel 7:10 it says but the Lord spoke with a mighty voice of thunder. In 2 Samuel 22:14 it says The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. Again in in Job 36:33 it says that the thunder announces His Presence and in Job 37:2 is says Listen carefully to the thunder…

The Weeping Prophet

I’m reading in Jeremiah. God and Jeremiah are discussing Israel’s fall into idolatry and sin. Jeremiah acknowledged to God that their ancestors had left them a foolish heritage. The heritage left to Jeremiah was one built on the world. Do what feels right to you. Follow your own heart, your own way, it’s all about you! Sadly, I understand why Jeremiah is called the weeping prophet. He saw the…

The King Train

I have one last thing to say about the Coronation and it was my big take away. During the coronation, King Charles had stood up and was moving and the camera panned out to give a wide shot. You could see the train of his robe and the pages straightening it and carrying it. It was an incredible sight, that stopped me and suddenly a scripture came to mind Isaiah 6:1.Isaiah was in the temple when…

Job, a man of faith

In my Bible reading I am in the book of Job right now. Job is a reminder to us that while it may seem the world is falling apart, there is a Holy God still in control. Job had respect, wisdom, health, wealth, and a great family and all of it was taken from him in just a few days time. Despite all his agony, Job knew one thing that others around him and people today still don’t get God is Holy and…

Prelude to war!

As you flip through the pages of the Bible and throughout history itself you will see that musicians always went ahead of the army. After the music, after the praising…then the fight begins. I have watched people fuss about the Asbury revival and other revivals breaking out across the world. Many say it can’t be real because there is little to no preaching, just praise and worship. But this…

Forgiveness

Have you ever heard something that instantly made you say huh? I was watching some videos on Facebook last night on different things…cooking, Asbury revival, comedy video shorts…etc. But one video bothered me so much that I am still thinking about it this morning. This man said 3 things as a Christian he will never do, and honestly I don’t remember all 3…I was just so stunned by #1 it’s seared…

Exceptional Faith

How many times have you read through the Bible? I don’t even know how many times I’ve read through it, but it still amazes me that I can read something I don’t remember reading before. I read a great story of faith…Monoah and his wife. If you are like me, you are saying”who”? This is a very overlooked couple…this a couple of people with unbelievable faith. So who are Monoah and his wife? One…

His name is still I AM I AM…your providerI AM…your healerI AM…your saviourI AM ..your strengthI AM…your songI AM…your delivererI AM…your righteousnessI AM…your protectorI AM…your comforterI AM…your shieldI AM…your joyI AM…your soon coming King!

Another Trip Down The Rabbit Hole

I know I posted a lot today, but this thought has been stuck in my mind all day. The word misinformation is used a lot these days as a way of shutting people down with whom you disagree. But remember this, Satan has no new tricks, but keeps recycling the old and this one is no different. It is said that it was the religious leaders that killed Jesus…which is a great excuse for people to not be…

New clothes

In Zechariah 3:1-4 God shows us a beautiful picture of what happens when we trust Jesus for our salvation…gone are our filthy rags! We now stand before a Holy God in new clothes purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ. We have taken off the old and put on the righteousness of Christ. What a wonderful reminder that all things become new because the Lord himself has snatched us from the…

A Queens Jubilee

Going down a rabbit hole or two today with my thoughts: Today kicks off the Queen of England’s 70th jubilee celebration! The Queen is 96 years old and is loved around the world. I will admit I watched some of the celebration, absolutely loved it. However this got me thinking. I don’t believe any Monarch has held a throne for 70 years. Most monarchs die well before that either through sickness…

Stones

I listened to a 2 part sermon called sticks and stones by Jenson Franklin, but I’m only gonna mention part 2 right now…stones. We start introducing our stones in Luke 19:40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Stone #1 Jacobs stone: This is the stone that Jacob rested his head on when running from his brother. He was scared, alone and no hope…then God gave…
