Strongholds, Looking Back to Look Forward

“We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity (2Cor.10:5-6).”



There is a wise saying that concludes those who don’t pay attention to history are bound to repeat it. That is so true of the way we… Continue

Strongholds, the Barriers to Spontaneity

When we look out from behind our eyes, from our mind and heart, we share a sense of being alone. No one really understands or knows us and we hardly know ourselves. We grasp for some kind of meaning and avoid as much pain as possible in the process. Typical of our plight is the way we immediately seek to protect our inner selves from intrusion. We are conscious of our aloneness in the midst of others. We have a fear of appearing inadequate so we draw conclusions about others in order to elevate… Continue

The Road to Spontaneity

“We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ (2Cor.10:5 The Message).”



One of the most amazing impressions Jesus leaves with us is His spontaneity. As we have said many times before His responses are momentary, profound, simply stated and penetrating. They are consistent pointing to the stability of His character.… Continue

It's All About the Moment of Choice

“We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ (2Cor.10:5 The Message).”



You are in an orchestra. You have rehearsed your part and it is a solo piece around which the symphony has been constructed. The first violin has brought the common key for the tuning. There is applause as the conductor enters and takes the… Continue

Pentecost, The Shift to the Spirit

Before we get into the subject of spiritual gifts it would be helpful if we visited the single most important event after the coming of the Lord Jesus and that is His sending the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It is the Holy Spirit who brings our minds, our hearts and our spirits into spiritual reality. This is where the shift to true reality begins.



Acts 2 “1 The day of Pentecost came. The believers all gathered in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound came from heaven. It was like a strong wind… Continue

Pentecost 3 Expanded

The event of Pentecost is so important that we need to delve into its meaning and seek to become a part of it for growth and being God's witness.



Vs.1 The day of Pentecost came. The believers all gathered in one place. First, it is the ‘day.’ When you look at this passage closely it is the arrival of something dramatically

Pentecost, The Event 2

“1 The day of Pentecost came. The believers all gathered in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound came from heaven. It was like a strong wind blowing. It filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw something that looked like tongues of fire. The flames separated and settled on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this (NIRV).”



We are going to take this… Continue
