The whole creation is in pain, can you feel it? But there is also within creation an intense anticipation for the manifestation of the sons of God. The whole of creation is alive, but in decay groining in birth pains for its release from futility. We are also groaning for the redemption of… Continue reading Our connection to creation must be restored.

The field of blood
Matthew 27:1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death; and they bound Him, and led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate the governor. Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt… Continue reading The field of blood
The ABC’s of our spirit
I am amazed at how many people have never heard a basic explanation of ministering and how to minister. We need a simple explanation of what we are—spirit, soul and body—and how we function. There is nothing worse than to get into a habit or a ritual until what we do is mechanical and without… Continue reading The ABC’s of our spirit
THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
The Ninety-fifth Psalm is our meditation, but we will first read another passage to which it refers—a story from Exodus 17. And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water… Continue reading THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
Instruction for prophesying 2
Worship must be two ways. You open up and give to the Lord, but in that openness to the Lord, feel yourself drawing. Reach right up, loving the Lord, focusing right on the Lord, and at the same time breathe in and draw from Him. There must be an exchange, a rhythm—drawing and ministering it,… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying 2
Instruction for prophesying
The prophet Isaiah prophesied in the Old Testament that the yoke would be destroyed because of the anointing. One thing we should learn, as we are beginning to prophesy and sing psalms in the service, is to ever strive for a deeper depth of anointing. The depth of anointing is what is important. We can… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying
The New creative flow
According to I Corinthians 14, prophecy is to edify, exhort, and comfort. Many times we have prophecies of exhortation when the need is not to exhort the people, but to edify, to build up, to actually add to the people, and to create in them the things that are to be. Consequently, the prophecies are… Continue reading The New creative flow
Speak it into existence
We are still exhorting too much. One gets up and says, “O people of the Lord, this is what you’re to do and that’s what you’re to do.” It is fine, but it is still a transition prophecy. We will always have prophecies that edify, exhort, and comfort. When we edify the people, we build… Continue reading Speak it into existence
Seeking God
We are going to look at the concept of seeking God and what that means and eventually how we can do that. The Scripture says in Jeremiah 29 versus 13 and 14 you shall seek me and find me when you shall search for me with all of your heart and I will be found… Continue reading Seeking God
WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
God is long suffering and not willing that any person perish. He is love and that is Who He is, but most people do not know the nature of God. Enoch began to walk with God, because God revealed mysteries to him. Enoch began his walk with God when He was sixty five years old.… Continue reading WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
What’s happening to time?
Time presents two problems that we must cope with in these last days. One, Satan knows that he has but a short time, and therefore he rages against the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 12:12); two, unless these days are shortened, no flesh will be saved alive (Matthew 24:22). Because of this, Ephesians 5:16 urges… Continue reading What’s happening to time?
I was watching Satan fall
Are you tired of being within range for Satan to harass you? Satan is completely defeated, but there are areas in which Satan is still allowed to move; and that is by divine design. If you want to be free from his assault, you have to move into an area where he has been cast… Continue reading I was watching Satan fall
We bring it down
WE BRING IT DOWN In the sixth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel is the prayer known as the Lord’s Prayer. There we can discover some deep truths in what seems to be a simple teaching. Some call it the disciples’ prayer, because the disciples asked the Lord how to pray and He gave them this prayer.… Continue reading We bring it down
Liberty or love?
The issue of eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols is no longer a problem in the Church. Therefore, Paul’s exhortation in I Corinthians 8 may seem to be most irrelevant for us today. However, this chapter contains certain principles about spiritual liberty that are important for us to know and that will be… Continue reading Liberty or love?
Are our words living or empty
The goal and objective of every believer should be to speak words that are alive and filled with the anointing and presence of God Himself. The Spirit of God should be released through the words we speak. When our spirit is in contact with the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to draw upon the anointing… Continue reading Are our words living or empty
When you turn to the right hand or the left
Many of the brothers say, “I don’t want to be occupied with a lot of things; just one thing. I don’t want any distractions.” I think that attitude will help you as much as anything possibly could. A Scripture which is a thought for us all is in Isaiah 30. It is speaking about the… Continue reading When you turn to the right hand or the left
Compromise, withdrawal or evasion?
The time has come when the Word must mean a great deal to us. We must come to the realization of the perils and the conditions in which we live. We must realize what effect the surrounding environment will have upon us, how we will be pressured, and what will come out of it. In… Continue reading Compromise, withdrawal or evasion?
Breaking the bondage of bonds
The Word tells us in Acts 4, that after the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, great boldness came into their lives as they spoke the Word of the Lord. We may get the idea that this boldness and liberty in the Spirit comes to everyone who has been filled with the Spirit; however,… Continue reading Breaking the bondage of bonds
We need more love
We must sense that we have been put in the wilderness and under the work of the cross. How soon we get out of the wilderness and how soon we stop hanging on a cross is not the issue. How soon does God break down this selfishness? How soon do we flow into the Body?… Continue reading We need more love
A new level of Love
In a walk with God, the lord does not continually lay again the foundation of things we have experienced; instead, we are constantly confronted with new levels and new problems. The problems facing us now do not seem to go away. They are not met by some solution or deliverance; they are designed to remain.… Continue reading A new level of Love
Death and Resurrection
When many people pray they wonder if God has heard them, but if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 1 john 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that… Continue reading Death and Resurrection
There is something strange happening to you
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.… Continue reading There is something strange happening to you
Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Do you have the same experience I have? Often, when I begin to pray my mind wanders. Or, when I start reading the Word, soon I am aware that I’ve been staring at a page for a few minutes; but something has been taking place inside: a deep meditation and communion with the Lord from… Continue reading Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Food in due season
And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another,… Continue reading Food in due season
Embracing the Kingdom
Hebrews 2:6-8 But one has testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that Thou rememberest him? Or the son of man, that Thou art concerned about him? Thou hast made him for a little while lower than the Angels; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, And hast appointed him over the works of Thy… Continue reading Embracing the Kingdom
Being a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ
Would you like to have the secret of how to make your brothers and sisters great? and would you like to know how Jesus Christ makes us sons of God? You may not understand the principle of how Jesus Christ the Son, Who is so far in advance of us, could take us in the… Continue reading Being a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ
