Every one of us has things in our lives we wish we could go back and change. We can go through our lives living in regret, or we can move on and determine to do things better.  I have met people from both of these categories.  One thing is in common to both groups: one thinks they can’t move on, and the other thinks they can, and do you know what?  They are both right!  The only thing holding us in regret is ourselves.  There is a saying, “experience comes by having done something over and over”.  Wisdom comes when you recognize you’ve made the same mistake over and over, and you quit doing it.

Up till one minute ago, I had no clue what to write today, but as always, when I asked the LORD what to write, He answered.  However, He answered with a question; “What time is it?” Now why in the world would the LORD ask someone what time it is? Is His watch broken?  Or is it WE don’t know what time it is? Continue Reading »

The LORD often speaks to me straight out of the Bible, giving me Book, Chapter and Verse.  And this week has been no exception.  At the time I was working on our motor home and was asking Him about why so much is going wrong in our Country these days, and it took all of about five seconds for me to get His reply.  He referred me to Nehemiah 9:33-37.  Well, since I had no clue what it said, I had to stop what I was doing and clean up and go get my Bible.  What it said really got my attention.  Here’s what it says: Continue Reading »

Most every Christian has heard the term, “The Great Commission”.  The Lord Jesus gave it in Matthew 28:16-20 as His final instructions to His disciples outlining their life mission before returning to heaven, and it went like this: Continue Reading »

I read a comment on Facebook from a friend who asked why someone would want to go to a church that left them “drier” than when they went in.  And I agree fully.  Church is not entertainment, but rather a continuation of the worship you SHOULD be doing every day at home, where you go to be taught, encouraged, corrected, and healed by God’s Word.  Sadly, many churches have made big business out of entertaining the people.  And people wonder why they aren’t seeing the works of the Holy Spirit there.  I commented back to the effect that if the “Washer” was present, it wouldn’t be like that.

This morning when asking the LORD what to write about, absolutely IMMEDIATELY the Spirit spoke to me Galatians 3:3, so here we go. Through history man has learned to mix different metals to create alloys, which are stronger together than any of the individual metals are alone  It’s just in our nature to try to invent and improve things.  And I see the same thing happening where people try to mix the things of the Spirit of God with the things of the flesh, thinking they would end up with something that would work better than the Spirit or the flesh alone. But the “alloy” they produce has no strength at all and fails when put to the test.  Why is it that we try to mix the Spirit with the flesh? Continue Reading »

The Lord Jesus told His disciples that if they would follow Him, He would make them fishers of men.  Have you ever given careful consideration to that statement?  Here is the passage in Matthew 4: Continue Reading »

It troubles me that there is so much division in the body of Christ. In every town there are several churches, all preaching a different “Gospel”, with different doctrines, some do this, some do that, and none agree with the other to any great extent.  Somewhere along the line, the Gospel got hijacked, and the “Gospel” we are hearing today doesn’t line up with the Gospel the disciples heard from the Lord Jesus.

Well, today I’d like to use some verses from Proverbs 29.  I study Proverbs each day, it is fitting to do so, as the LORD gave us 31 Proverbs, one for each day of the month. Today’s Proverb is fitting for general wisdom AND for healing, and you know how I love to teach about healing, as it is my calling.  Let’s get started: Continue Reading »

We spend a lot of time praying, asking God to get the devil off our case, to heal us, to fix our finances, to do this or that, when all the time God has already given us the solution to our problems.   His instructions are clear and are not a mystery hidden in layers of dark sayings, yet we tend to ignore them and try to find another way.  Why is that?  It is written in James 4:7-8 :
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Continue Reading »
