Ephesians 3:17-19
In 2021, Juneteenth became a federal holiday in the US. I was asked recently why I didn’t celebrate it. I observe the holiday but can’t say that I celebrate it. I understand why the enslaved Black people in Texas, after realizing for the first time that they had been liberated from institutionalized human slavery, joyously... Continue Reading →
I am so thankful for the counsel of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it is hard to make sense of your experiences, however if you are really open to truth, then the light of the Lord can eliminate the gray by dividing the light from the darkness to help you discern what is really going on....

One of the biggest struggles people have is trying to change their behavior without a true change in values. The most common form of change in society is conformity. Since conformity is based on external influences, it produces inconsistent behavior because the internal values of the heart will surface when external influences decrease. This is...

In the Old Testament, the word “humble” is used synonymously with subdue and bring low. So, the admonishment to humble yourself before YAHWEH means to bring yourself under permanent subjection to the authority of GOD to the degree that you disable any further resistance to His commands. In other words, will you totally submit yourself... Continue Reading →
I recently hosted a bible study on understanding the main cause of the falling away of Christians. It is a “root of bitterness.” Many who have been introduced to the gospel of Christ have rejected His testimony and have succumb to the spirit of anti-Christ. There are many anti-Christ in our midst, but they aren’t... Continue Reading →
People that are selfish, which is the same as unloving, inevitably piss in the wells given to them to drink from. We live in a world that has become a desert. There aren’t many wells with living water. We have oceans full of water that is undrinkable, lakes contaminated with trash and chemicals, and plenty... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Christians need to stop saying they are not in a religion but in a relationship, as if they are mutually exclusive. That claim has been used as a means to cover carnality. Born again Christians are required to follow the same commandments that the people they refer to as religious are trying to follow, but... Continue Reading →
