Ephesians 3:17-19
Be Holy. That is the Lord's command, not merely something I am suggesting. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. (Leviticus 20:7) There are no commands given to us by YAHWEH which He has not also provided the means for their fulfillment. Becoming holy is no exception. For holiness,... Continue Reading →
Guard against following your own carnal wisdom and submit to the higher calling of GOD to walk after Spirit and Truth. Ever since man was introduced to the knowledge of good and evil, he has been reasoning his way through life. While this is truly a reasonable way to go through life it is not the...

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. People who have spent much time around me hear me emphasize this a lot. It is because the understanding of GOD is hidden from those who have not bowed their own reasonings to the authoritative rule of GOD. In this present age it is really... Continue Reading →
I was riding down the road the other day and I saw a billboard that read, “After you die, you go to meet GOD,” then it was followed by a 1-800 number. My guess is that it was an evangelistic effort to encourage people to live differently today. While the intent is good, it falls... Continue Reading →
The scripture says as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD are the sons (children) of GOD. Of all the influences around us, nothing should be more influential on us than the Spirit of GOD. Many Christians quote 1st John 4, where he says, “Greater is He that is in you than he... Continue Reading →
GOD has a purpose for everything, but for them to be fulfilled they have to be sanctified by the rule of the Spirit. For instance, GOD formed Eve and her daughters in such a way that they would be the perfect match for Adam and his sons. Into the design of both the male and... Continue Reading →
The Lord has given us many narratives in which to frame His magnanimous love for us. We have been given the narrative of a Father seeking to restore His family which has rejected Him, a Shepherd faithfully tending His wayward flock, the loving hands of a Great Potter restoring broken vessels to glory, a perfect...

The Lord commands us to love Him with all of our heart, mind, and strength. In other words, with everything we have. To many people this command doesn’t sound reasonable, or it can seem a bit excessive. However, when you consider that YAHWEH is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can you really love...

A perspective I have been enjoying recently is the idea of the Lord inviting us into His greater story by making us letters read of all men, as Paul writes about in the book of 2 Corinthians. The question is, are we willing to be a chapter in His story (history)? Can He use us... Continue Reading →
Witchcraft and divination are used synonymously in the bible and refers to man acknowledging something as divine or as from a god, when it has been derived from a source other than the holy, righteous, true, and living GOD. We see that a lot today in people declaring their own truth. Truth is divine reality... Continue Reading →
