Seven (7) “S” Words from the Last Supper!! Introduction There are 7 “S” words I have singled out in the account of the Lord’s Supper in Luke 22:7-38 to reflect on. I have found them to be very instructive for me in continuing to identify with Christ and moving to a higher level of knowing and doing for Him. One can never exhaust knowing the Master. When one thinks they know Jesus, they are barely scratching the surface. Before I address the Luke passage, I want to ex

The Church and the Nation of America! I hear the word “Revival” very rarely these days either inside or outside of the church door. A few people say America needs a revival because they see the severe decline in society, families, schools, law and order, government leadership, political divisions, and how far it has fallen away from the Lord. Some will even admit that America is dying because it has lost its way and is abandoning its foundations because of what mad

Do not let the things of the world attach themselves to your thinking, talking, and acting. My son and daughter you need to come to a position of letting go! Let go of your anxieties. Let go of your worries. Let go of your insecurities. Let go of your fears. It is these things which rob you of your peace I have imparted to you – a peace of comfort and contentment which I wish to revive and refresh within you. As you lean on Me and call out to Me in your m

The Dream! I received this short dream around 6:30 am a few days ago and decided to post it. It was very vivid and detailed, and I knew that it was from the Lord. At the beginning of the dream, I found myself in a high school called to be a substitute teacher in physical education. The P.E. classes were going outside for their class as two or three teachers were also taking their classes out with me. We proceeded to go outside for the P.E. activities. I was standing a

A C T! The world is on fire and what is the Christian to do with the violence, rebellion, chaos, and lawlessness now becoming normal in the nations of the world. Governments of nations are building up their militaries and preparing for eventual war which may come to their nations and which some nations are now engaged in. I do not have to tell you that the world is headed to Armageddon which may not be too far away. Here is a Word from the Lord giving specific direc

It is very interesting when the Bible talks about love and light. They go together for if love is absent there is little light and if light is absent there is little love. I need the Light of Christ to know how to manifest the love of Christ. It could also be said, I need the love of Christ to manifest the light of Christ. If I do not demonstrate the love of Christ, I will have difficulty walking in the Light of Christ and vice versa. It is that simple. Both are n

The True Servant of the Lord! There are men in church leadership positions who would say: “I have a Bible school education, 20 years of experience as a pastor of a church of 75 – 95 people. I take a very modest salary to get by for I serve a people of meager means. We are a poor church but rich in Christ. At times we are even persecuted from the world for our stand for Christ and His biblical principles as we take the Gospel of Christ outside the church doors. The

A Description of the Present Plight of America with a Prophetic Word! Introduction I want to follow up with what I posted yesterday about God’s call to repentance in order for Him to begin to heal the land of division, sin, rebellion, violence, murder, deceptions, and most important, America’s independence from God and going its own way. This oracle and the oracle previously posted titled "Mindset" demonstrates the seriousness of America’s present plight and the need for

The Dangers of the Greek and Roman Mindset! The Ear, Heart and Mind! The Amplified Bible reflects the more robust Hebrew in what Solomon penned. I also embedded my comments: Making your ear attentive (My comment: Your ear is the gate to hear the Word of God and the Words of the World) to skillful and godly Wisdom (My comment: “…..skillful and godly wisdom meaning the Word of God which directs and guides how to live under His divine authority and power). and inclining a

True Brokenness by the Hand of the Lord Leads to Releases of the Supernatural! Out of prayer this day the following came to me regarding this theme on "Brokenness" in the life of the believer. Brokenness in the life of the true disciple of Christ is a necessity if true Kingdom of God ministry is to come forth in His word and power. The greater the brokenness the greater the release of the Holy Spirit to do the work He desires to accomplish through those who yield to His d

In view of what is taking place in the world today – the clashing of nations, failed diplomacy, political divisions, cultural decline in morality, and the list could go on and on, I felt the Lord downloaded the prophetic word at the end of this introduction which I invite you to ponder on. Introduction Sadly, it seems the American culture has lost the concept of God and His sovereignty over the nation causing it to go into decline and eventual fall if there is no repe

The True Costs of True Discipleship While Living in an Upside-Down World! Unrestrained Sin in the Nation! When it comes to John the Baptist, we can say that it was evil politics and male and female lust which played the major part which led to cutting his head off. The sin nature of men and women uncontrolled by Christian principles and submission to Christ will result in political corruption and sexual deviance in a nation’s culture especially in high and low leader

We are all given one lifetime to discover our calling and purpose from God and move in that calling and purpose to please Him. Unfortunately, many never do find their God-given purpose and waste a lifetime serving self rather than serving God. And when the end of life comes , and the Creator says , “Now is the time to come home,” we can look over our lives and say either one of two things: Thank you, Jesus, I have not wasted time down here but have finished wh

A Divine Encounter in a Furniture Store! Here is something you can praise the Lord about! My wife Sandra goes into Canton, Ohio and gives piano lessons every Thursday from 3:30 to 8:30 pm. After subbing in a local school district, I usually go into Canton and eat supper while she gives these piano lessons. As I was driving to my favorite restaurant, I was really pressing in on the Lord to continue to give me people to talk to about Him. I know there are those who He h

There is a River – A River of Life! A Prohetic Word! The Revelation! I recently attended an inner-city church for the first time. During the time of worshipping the Lord, I begin to hear in my spirit and mind… “There is a River – A River of Life!.” I sat down and began to record the contents of this word. I felt the Lord was speaking to me about the ministry of this church. This is a powerful word that I believe serves as a divine con-firmation for this church and pe

The Centrality of the Heart in the Life of the Believer! The Heart, the Cross of Christ, and the Word of God are the most important factors in one’s relationship to the Lord. It is in the heart where the Word of God is honored, and nourished by prayer, praise, and worship as well as hungering and thirsting after the Master. It is in the heart where the application of the Cross crucifies the flesh and purifies the believer. All three – heart, cross, and Word work in tan

Holy Prayers from Holy People in Holy Places Buring Hot for Christ! ! I was in church a few Sundays ago and one of the hymns we sang was entitled “ In Thy Holy Place.” This short line caught my eye and my spirit jumped within me. “While golden censers a glow with the fire of sacrifice.” I believe it was the Holy Spirit which prompted me to write down that the “golden censers” represented the prayers and intercessions of God’s born-again people on fire for C

The Golden Invitation! In these last days of this age, the Lord is continually calling His disciples to press in more deeply in knowing and understanding His heart - the Father’s Heart. He invites me to come up higher in Him by accepting what He calls the Golden Invitation. He has opened heaven's doors (the Glory Doors) for His last - day disciples to enter and discover the deeper things of His heart. I ask myself - How can I be His “Salt” and “Light” if I do not intima

The Two Hymns! I noted these lines from a hymn - “I Need Thee Every Hour” and from another hymn “The Holy Spirit Alone" while in church last Sunday..... “ I Need Thee Every Hour ” …..and bind thy gospel to thy heart …… ,,,,,,temptations lose their power when thou are near….. ,,,,,I need thee ever hour….. “ The Holy Spirit Alone ” ……His power along can sanctify and keep us pure within…. ……His power alone within our soul can light the sacred fire….. ……And while we w

Raindrops and More from the Study of the Butterfly! The Butterfly ! I was out walking one day last summer and saw a beautiful butterfly. I stopped and watched this butterfly for 2 or 3 minutes and just marveled at this little creature noting its wings, antennae, and other features. I knew God had something to say to me about the butterfly. God’s creations are just awesome! One must take the time to stop, observe, reflect, and ask – “God, what can you show me from thes
