Natural birth pangs growing intensely

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Natural birth pangs are growing intensely as 2020 moves on. The now normal reaction is, “Don’t bother me, it’s nothing new.” But they’re now closer & harder—and increasingly they are affecting the entire world. This month Lamb & Lion Ministries sent out their May Lamplighter magazine entitled The Signs of Nature. I support this excellent and trusted resource of prophetic news and information. The links are for free PDF downloads. Natural birth pangs growing intensely and who listens? … Continue reading →

Pressure brings repentance using stress

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Yes, pressure brings repentance using stress to reveal problems with our character. Look at what COVID-19 has done for us. Most of us are feeling pressure to whine, complain, be rude, give up, or act obnoxious. If our character is mature and fruitful, our reaction is to seek ways to help others in this tough time, and to seek the Lord who is the only one with a plan and the power to bring it to pass. … 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 →

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 →

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 →

Personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything

Skilled Workman Posted on by

For me, the most important thing I’ve ever learned is that personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything. Currently, most of the church ignores this simple fact. To my horror, even churches preaching the gospel about the blood and the cross, focusing on new converts and leading them to the Lord, often don’t mention this from the pulpit. All of their services are evangelistic. As far as I can tell, the pastors and teachers who know this don’t … Continue reading →

Finding sin freedom is rarely taught

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Finding sin freedom is rarely taught, and teaching about this is getting more scarce. Actually, the bondage of sin is rarely mentioned. So, no one knows that freedom from sin is even possible. Few know before they meet Jesus that this issue even exists. “Do you not know that we who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised … Continue reading →

Our Lord delights in the little things

Skilled Workman Posted on by

One of my major joys comes from the fact that our Lord delights in the little things. My wife and I are both creative artists in many fields. One of the reasons the Lord brought us together is to be able to support each other in our creative endeavors. I’ve written several times about that unique way we are made in His image—our creativity. After all, He created it all from nothing, and John 1 makes it … Continue reading →

By retaining comprehensive Godly focus we’re fruitful

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Because His imminent return grows closer, retaining comprehensive Godly focus becomes even more important. In our Western civilization, the pressures to lose our sense of reality have become nearly overwhelming. You need to work on that. After 45+ years of walking with Jesus, I still need to work on it often. Reality?! What’s that? Here I may lose several of you. If you have not realized yet that scripture is literally true, you need to talk with … Continue reading →
