David Blatner defines design in his latest weekly posting on Linked-In. It seems good enough to me so I decided to share it with you. It’s not earth shaking, and has nothing to do with spiritual reality. But my hope is that you find it helpful. David Blatner defines design What is design? Design is not about making stuff look pretty. It’s not about making it “pop” or look cool. Design, at its core, is the practice … Continue reading →
Doing what Jesus said today is the call for every day. But there should be a comma after said. Because you need to be basing your daily living on what Jesus has said — to you personally. The Bible can help you discern this. But what terrifies the institutional church, only you [by the power of the Holy Spirit] can know what Yeshua has told you. Your task is to cough up the faith to act on … Continue reading →
Irrational fear is demonic and you can simply get rid of it as a reborn believer who believes Jesus is the Messiah. Tell the demon to go. Bind that demon in the name of Jesus, and command it to leave, in Jesus’ name. If you are scoffing, look at yourself and check to see that you’re truly a believer. I’ve been walking with the Lord for nearly fifty years, and I’ve never seen that prayer not work. … Continue reading →
There is no death … there is only a time when your choice has been made—heaven or hell. You need to make that part of your decision-making process. That time could come now—or it might be a year or two—probably not much longer than that. It really is that black and white. This present life we are living in the training place of mankind, where you get to choose where you will end up, is almost concluded. … Continue reading →
The Bible will not save you, only Jesus. This is a large area of confusion in the American church today. Jesus himself made that clear in John 5: 40. I had one of my characters in my current novel post about this on her blog. Sakura is a Japanese-American who was recently radically saved. She’s being mentored in a new believing mentorship school being built in Northfield, Minnesota. Helaena is her mentor. Let’s throw in another copy … Continue reading →
Yes, eliminating frustration is possible and more than that, a major part of maturing in the Lord. We need to learn how, and it’s simple. I was discussing this in my latest novel this morning. I felt the Lord wanted me to share it with you. Here’s the passage: Thomas was upset and grumpy. He had spent the entire morning trying to get a workspace set up with no success. It was very dangerous, even deadly, if he … Continue reading →
Another year with little enthusiasm for many. Everyone tells me that 2021 was worse than 2020. However, for me, they were two of the best years of my life. I’ve written about that quite a bit. What I want to cover tonight is simple fact—our groom is coming to pick us up soon. Much sooner than most people believe, we will be with Jesus. That’s worth a little enthusiasm, don’t you think? Yea, the world is falling … Continue reading →
The realistic expectation of holiness seems to be pure foolishness. For we know who we are. Most of us are amazed that the Lord will talk to us—let alone call us to Himself. For we certainly are not worthy. Many days it seems absurd, for I must offend him greatly. Yet, while I was a sinner, in the midst of my depravity, He called me. I was certainly looking everywhere I could find that didn’t include Him. … Continue reading →
The unchangeable centrality of Jesus needs to consume us. At this point in time, it’s all about the Bride remaining alert. We occupy until He comes to pull us out of here. There needs to be a fundamental change in our preaching, teaching, and focus. A day is coming soon when the age of the church and its denominations with their doctrinal squabbling will be gone. It all comes down to one basic statement. Do each of … Continue reading →
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 →
