Warning — prophetic illiterates wakeup

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Warning — prophetic illiterates wakeup before you miss your chance! It is likely that you have no real idea what is happening to the world. But, the Bible has given us a lot of specific information. The Lord slapped me upside the head yesterday. I was watching and listening to a YouTube presentation and the speaker casually mentioned the duty of prophetic scholars —to warn the people. I was deeply convicted. Though I’ve been studying Bible prophecy since … Continue reading →

Truly, increasing the Bride or saving America matters

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Truly, increasing the Bride or saving America is our question. But America, as we know it, is not going to survive. The end of the age is here. We are in prophetic times — Bible times, again. Just recently, there was a major tent revival halfway between where I live in Rochester, New York and Buffalo. The response was phenomenal. A thousand pastors got involved. Many hundreds of volunteers showed up. Opening night happened in pouring rain, … Continue reading →

Bride exclusivity is reality

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Bride exclusivity is reality and you need to decide soon. This post will be a little complex. I’m trusting the Lord to show me how to put it together. But it’s something I’ve rarely heard in sermons, teachings, or discussions. I believe that part of the effort against the Rapture concerns a simple fact. The fact that Bride exclusivity is fought so hard might be partially the result of the enemy wanting to hurt believers any way … Continue reading →

Change brings opportunity every time

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Change brings opportunity every time —that’s my summation of 2020 and 2021, so far. Suddenly I’m a writer of fiction. It’s been a fun ride. Nine novels since the first of January 2020. But that doesn’t even begin to mention the change in my spiritual walk. With Pat’s death, I turned to Jesus. He has responded with love and power. It’s been amazing. I was always told, draw near to Him and He’ll draw near to you. … Continue reading →

God’s judgement comes with His blessing

Skilled Workman Posted on by

God’s judgement comes with His blessing especially when we turn to Him in trust. I was reading Perry Stone’s new book this morning and I was struck in his introduction by the juxtaposition of two major events: in April of 1906, both the San Francisco earthquake, and the Azusa Street revival occurred. The news called the earthquake the judgment of God. It’s probable that it was that as a consequence of the Gold Rush. In a very … Continue reading →

Identify works of Satan before warfare begins

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Identify works of Satan before the warfare begins. Simply lashing out can cause issues. We don’t want to hurt the people involved in the problem. Trying to force a deliverance on a person with mental damage can cause even more damage. You are building a case, seeking insight from the Lord about how to proceed. The warfare is against any evil spirits involved. You are not fighting people. You are seeking to bring healing and wholeness to … Continue reading →

New-found freedom to change in rebirth

Skilled Workman Posted on by

We have a new-found freedom to change in our rebirth after we repent and ask Jesus in to our life. The world talks about our freedom. But we have no real freedom until we enter the Kingdom of God. This makes no sense until you’re reborn. You will not understand these things until you have been born of God. If this hasn’t happened yet in your life, you need to take care of that first.  Your choice … Continue reading →

Is child-like faith conversion required to be mature

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Is child-like faith conversion required to be mature? Here we see an underlying reason why Satan has worked so hard to destroy the family. Beginning in the fifties, the world has relentlessly ridiculed fathers, expected women to take control, empowered children, sexualized society, driven material prosperity, and all the rest. One of the results of this happens to many. My child-like trust of my father in the flesh was basically destroyed when I was six and seven … Continue reading →

Empower Bible reading by asking the author for help

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Empower Bible reading with the help of the author. There is a major difference between reading the Bible and asking the Lord to show you what He wants you to learn today. The Bible amazes me. But, an author guided read transforms my life—every day. The author of the book matters much more than the book itself Fortunately, the Bible’s author lives within you. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask the Holy Spirit [or Jesus] to … Continue reading →

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living is required to get into the Kingdom of God. That’s easy to prove Biblically. It’s hard to find in the church today. It’s not that pastors and teachers are against the idea. It’s simply not taught because it’s so basic. OR, it’s so personal that they’re embarrassed to share in public. But it’s so pervasive that you really can’t go to any church today and ask, “What’s the Lord done in … Continue reading →
