The doctrinal warfare ends for good

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The doctrinal warfare ends for good. Good riddance, that is. It was necessary for a while. But now it increasingly inhibits the believer’s life. How can I possibly say that? Because it has changed from a necessity to a blockage. The doctrinal warfare ends for good, no longer needed Churchians cannot even imagine the freedom of following the Lord more directly. Doctrines brought the church into feudalism. Armed fortresses with doctrines forming the outer defensive walls. The … Continue reading →

A little touch of reality

Skilled Workman Posted on by

A little touch of reality from the latest novel being published. This is not Truth, but it touches it. Reality is truly amazing. A little touch of reality to counter the media Maja shook herself. With a large smile she replied, “The Lord just gave me a glimpse of that reality. I have seen other glimpses in my new relationship with Antonne. This new life in the Kingdom is truly amazing.” Rachael began, “Lord Jesus, I am … Continue reading →

The Kosmos will be eliminated again

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The Kosmos will be eliminated again and few know about it. The world in Greek is kosmos and it is described as the entire world system, including: the economic system, the legal system, government, law enforcement, politics, the health system, the educational system, the entertainment system, and all the rest. What the world calls civilization. The kosmos is designed to make men and women frustrated, enraged, picked on, helpless, fearful, confused, and hopeless. The Enemy knows that he … Continue reading →

David Blatner defines design

Skilled Workman Posted on by

David Blatner defines design in his latest weekly posting on Linked-In. It seems good enough to me so I decided to share it with you. It’s not earth shaking, and has nothing to do with spiritual reality. But my hope is that you find it helpful. David Blatner defines design What is design? Design is not about making stuff look pretty. It’s not about making it “pop” or look cool. Design, at its core, is the practice … Continue reading →

Doing what Jesus said today

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Doing what Jesus said today is the call for every day. But there should be a comma after said. Because you need to be basing your daily living on what Jesus has said — to you personally. The Bible can help you discern this. But what terrifies the institutional church, only you [by the power of the Holy Spirit] can know what Yeshua has told you. Your task is to cough up the faith to act on … Continue reading →

Irrational fear is demonic

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Irrational fear is demonic and you can simply get rid of it as a reborn believer who believes Jesus is the Messiah. Tell the demon to go. Bind that demon in the name of Jesus, and command it to leave, in Jesus’ name. If you are scoffing, look at yourself and check to see that you’re truly a believer. I’ve been walking with the Lord for nearly fifty years, and I’ve never seen that prayer not work. … Continue reading →

There is no death …

Skilled Workman Posted on by

There is no death … there is only a time when your choice has been made—heaven or hell. You need to make that part of your decision-making process. That time could come now—or it might be a year or two—probably not much longer than that. It really is that black and white. This present life we are living in the training place of mankind, where you get to choose where you will end up, is almost concluded. … Continue reading →

The Bible will not save you, only Jesus

Skilled Workman Posted on by

The Bible will not save you, only Jesus. This is a large area of confusion in the American church today. Jesus himself made that clear in John 5: 40. I had one of my characters in my current novel post about this on her blog. Sakura is a Japanese-American who was recently radically saved. She’s being mentored in a new believing mentorship school being built in Northfield, Minnesota. Helaena is her mentor. Let’s throw in another copy … Continue reading →

A definitive statement on the suicide of America

Skilled Workman Posted on by

A definitive statement on the suicide of America by Dr. David Reagan is a refreshing read. This is the truth as I know it, and Dr. Reagan shares it clean, clear, and to the point. It’s not popular, but it’s accurate. As he says, this is not the time for patriotism. It’s time for massive repentance. I do not see that happening, nor does he. He lays out our position thoroughly, and clearly. He’s got it all … Continue reading →

But, eliminating frustration is possible

Skilled Workman Posted on by

Yes, eliminating frustration is possible and more than that, a major part of maturing in the Lord. We need to learn how, and it’s simple. I was discussing this in my latest novel this morning. I felt the Lord wanted me to share it with you. Here’s the passage: Thomas was upset and grumpy. He had spent the entire morning trying to get a workspace set up with no success. It was very dangerous, even deadly, if he … Continue reading →
