Procedure or satisfaction — Bible or Word

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Procedure or satisfaction seems to be the crux of this problem I’m seeing. It’s not recognizing where the life is coming from. A large problem is my tendency to see importance without thinking things through. But this has been going on for a long time. I finally learned what the core problem is. Part of it has surfaced again recently as I have turned to evangelical pastors on YouTube for teaching scripture. At least they are covering … Continue reading →

Evangelism or discipleship we need both

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Evangelism or discipleship we need both and it’s a real problem. The Lord has been working on me for the past five years. He has me attached to an aggressive special forces evangelistic church. I’ve had a hard time with it. Because they have a clear call and they are anointed in that direction. But I come from the discipleship camp. My current church does not do any discipleship, as I understand it. It’s been interesting to … Continue reading →

Laying the foundation for a new life

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Laying the foundation for helping the religious into Life is necessary. At this point in the Church Age we’ve come to the place where the normal believer’s life has nearly disappeared. It’s hard to ignore the huge numbers of religious people who have not fulfilled the basic necessities of salvation. I call them churchians, as opposed to Christians, let alone believers. Before we can talk about what a normal believer is, we must lay a solid and … Continue reading →

No nation will survive

Skilled Workman Posted on by

No nation will survive the times which are upon us. Even Israel must be radically changed. I know: you had no idea. I’m not surprised. If you take the challenge, you need to come to grips with the progression upward from catholic to protestant to evangelical to pentecostal to believers. Believers is where we are now. I do not care about denominations at all. What you need to face is that each step added some powerful doctrines … Continue reading →

The Kosmos will be eliminated again

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The Kosmos will be eliminated again and few know about it. The world in Greek is kosmos and it is described as the entire world system, including: the economic system, the legal system, government, law enforcement, politics, the health system, the educational system, the entertainment system, and all the rest. What the world calls civilization. The kosmos is designed to make men and women frustrated, enraged, picked on, helpless, fearful, confused, and hopeless. The Enemy knows that he … Continue reading →

The Bible will not save you, only Jesus

Skilled Workman Posted on by

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, study last days prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Yes, study last days prophecy as if your life depended on it—because it does. Because, all prophecy teaching is speculating. I know my teachings on the subject are impeccably researched, prayed over intensely, and convince me of their accuracy. But that is true for all who teach these things. The Lord told me in the late 1990s that no one has it figured out. There’s a reason why no two prophecy teachers agree completely. Because God’s ways … Continue reading →

The realistic expectation of holiness

Skilled Workman Posted on by

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

Skilled Workman Posted on by

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 →

Your choice controls your destination heaven or hell

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Your choice controls your destination heaven or hell. It really is as simple as that. The Lord Jesus sent you to the earth so you could choose to love Him. That’s why he made mankind. He is looking for friends to like and love Him—who like being with Him, talking with Him, sharing things with Him. While I watch people willing to do almost anything to avoid giving up their sin, I sit quietly talking with the … Continue reading →
