Imagine yourself on a beautiful clear day, out in a sailboat, gliding smoothly along on a quiet lake. If you look around once in awhile at the place where you started, you see the shoreline fading away into the distance. Both the distant past and new horizons are opening up to us. It’s almost as… Continue reading The Imperceptible change

Thus saith the Lord-we believe
Appointed over all that he has
Imagine a painting on a large canvas with a lake in the foreground, a little mountain in the center and far out in the distance a high peak covered with snow. If you came close enough to the canvas to touch it, you would find that the mountain which appears to be so far away… Continue reading Appointed over all that he has
Our Focus
In order to walk with the Lord in victory, it is always important to remember where to focus your consciousness. A person in great pain can go to a hypnotherapist and be put under hypnosis so that the pain can be borne or completely forgotten. Persons with terminal cases of cancer in extreme pain, can,… Continue reading Our Focus
To be a CHRISTIAN
To be a Christian, as I understand Christ, means the acceptance of the absolute authority of Jesus in all of my life. It means that in everything that I am and do when I eat and drink, when I buy and sell, when I work and play, when I read and think—that I take Jesus… Continue reading To be a CHRISTIAN
The Day of Spirit has come!
Anyone who has come up through the Pentecostal movement would have no difficulty in defining the difference between that movement and this walk with God, whereas someone from a denominational church might have a little more difficulty in understanding the difference. The Pentecostal movement was before our time in the 1920’s, 30’s. In the Pentecostal… Continue reading The Day of Spirit has come!
Seize upon God’s word!
I am convinced there isn’t a day we live when we reach over ten per cent of the potential of that day. That is true of the services we have too. I don’t know how to reach it; being emotional, and intense, isn’t the answer. There must be something in our spirit, an expectation that… Continue reading Seize upon God’s word!
Sons, sons, not pigs, not pigs!
A great deal of discipline and self-sacrifice will be found in the life-style of true prophets in the days to come. Unless they are exceedingly careful, they could fall into the trap that destroys prophets: the trap of a legalistic approach to God, thinking that this is the only way to get a word from… Continue reading Sons, sons, not pigs, not pigs!
Lift up your eyes to new horizons
“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who… Continue reading Lift up your eyes to new horizons
Transference
In the kingdom of God there are certain spiritual laws or principles that govern it; one of those principles is transference. In order to walk with God we are going to need to learn how the principle of transference works. Transference is the process of moving something from one place or person to another. To… Continue reading Transference
The force of a full heart
This message contains practical teaching about transference that you need to know in your fasting, in your prayer, and in breaking the oppressions of witchcraft and everything else that may come against you. Our first great truth about transference is revealed in Isaiah 53:4–8: Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried;… Continue reading The force of a full heart
Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Why did Jesus die? Who killed him? What was his death really about? What did Jesus say about it? Jesus knew he was going to the cross, so what was he expecting? Did he say he was going to suffer the just punishment for our sins from his father? Was Jesus expecting abandonment and rejection… Continue reading Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Your overflowing cup
Just because you have had an experience, it does not necessarily mean that you are full of the Spirit. It is easy to lean on too many things in this walk with God. Some things that were to be a means to an end have become almost an end in themselves. Personal ministry has sometimes… Continue reading Your overflowing cup
A sense of God’s Presence
This is a wonderful day, a day of freedom in the Lord in which we sense that we are being projected into and are just a little closer to the very presence of the Lord. We think of the Parousia as the appearing, the presence of the Lord, or the second coming of the Lord,… Continue reading A sense of God’s Presence
Practice and project the Lord’s presence
David expresses his one desire in Psalms 27:4. One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek; that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple. There’s a great deal you… Continue reading Practice and project the Lord’s presence
Becoming like Jesus
Religion tells us what to do and what not to do. Christianity tells us what to become and how to become it. However, the church still continues to tell us what to do and what not to do, placing a standard of behavior before us which most find impossible to conform to. In order to… Continue reading Becoming like Jesus
Awareness of His Presence
Our Spirit is the part of us that is conscious of God. We must become aware of our spirit. When we are aware of our spirit, then we become aware of the presence of God that is with us in the natural realm that we live in. But we must first realize that becoming friends… Continue reading Awareness of His Presence
Another seed
There is another seed coming forth in the earth. This seed is critical to the final defeat of Satan and the ushering in of the literal Kingdom of God in this earth. REVELATION 12: 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her… Continue reading Another seed
Aggressively manifesting Christ’s Victory in and through us
As you read this Scripture, let it happen to you. Revelation 19:11 saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. This is the emphasis in the book of Revelation—He judges and wages war. Verse 12 And… Continue reading Aggressively manifesting Christ’s Victory in and through us
Keep coming and keep drinking
The book of John is rich in references concerning the annual feasts which were observed by the Jews. Basically, every male in Israel was required to appear before the Lord during the Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles in which a total of seven annual feasts were observed. Rituals formed through the years were observed… Continue reading Keep coming and keep drinking
The overflow
We need to seek the Lord until we are literally filled with the Holy Spirit. If we seek Him with all our heart we will find Him. The key is with all our heart. We are either seeking the Lord or we are distracted with something else. When we learn to concentrate our focus with… Continue reading The overflow
Mantle of Praise!
Isaiah 61:1–7 is one of the outstanding prophecies about the Kingdom because it relates to the Kingdom of God as it first comes forth. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,… Continue reading Mantle of Praise!
The big picture
Let us read, in the following Scriptures, something concerning the birthright and our privileges, the position we have in the Lord. Genesis 25:21–34. And Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled together within her;… Continue reading The big picture
IMMUTABLE PRESENCE
God often pitches Himself, with His holy presence, on the outside of the camp which is supposed to be carefully following Him. Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And it came about, that everyone… Continue reading IMMUTABLE PRESENCE
Meeting the Lord
There is nothing greater than having a meeting with the Lord, this is what we should be living for. We need to have a meeting with God, every day. Every time we worship, read the word, every time we pray, we should have a meeting with the Lord. There needs to be a hunger in… Continue reading Meeting the Lord
Becoming totally alive
1 Thessalonians 5:21Prove (command continuous, to test, examine, prove, to see whether a thing is genuine or not) all things; hold fast (occurring now, keep firm possession of) that which is good. 22Abstain (command continuous, keep oneself from, separate from-distance oneself) from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify (set apart… Continue reading Becoming totally alive
