Doing what Jesus said today

Skilled Workman Posted on February 12, 2023 by David BergslandFebruary 12, 2023

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 February 5, 2023 by David BergslandFebruary 5, 2023

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 January 28, 2023 by David BergslandJanuary 28, 2023

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. With God or … Continue reading →

The Bible will not save you, only Jesus

Skilled Workman Posted on January 24, 2023 by David BergslandJanuary 24, 2023

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 September 4, 2022 by David BergslandSeptember 4, 2022

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 June 8, 2022 by David BergslandJune 8, 2022

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 →

Yes, study last days prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on January 5, 2022 by David BergslandJanuary 5, 2022

Yes, study last days prophecy as if your life depended on it—because it does. Because, all prophecy teaching is speculating. I know my teachings on the subject are impeccably researched, prayed over intensely, and convince me of their accuracy. But that is true for all who teach these things. The Lord told me in the late 1990s that no one has it figured out. There’s a reason why no two prophecy teachers agree completely. Because God’s ways … Continue reading →

Another year with little enthusiasm for many

Skilled Workman Posted on January 2, 2022 by David BergslandJanuary 2, 2022

Another year with little enthusiasm for many. Everyone tells me that 2021 was worse than 2020. However, for me, they were two of the best years of my life. I’ve written about that quite a bit. What I want to cover tonight is simple fact—our groom is coming to pick us up soon. Much sooner than most people believe, we will be with Jesus. That’s worth a little enthusiasm, don’t you think? Yea, the world is falling … Continue reading →

The realistic expectation of holiness

Skilled Workman Posted on December 5, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 5, 2021

The realistic expectation of holiness seems to be pure foolishness. For we know who we are. Most of us are amazed that the Lord will talk to us—let alone call us to Himself. For we certainly are not worthy. Many days it seems absurd, for I must offend him greatly. Yet, while I was a sinner, in the midst of my depravity, He called me. I was certainly looking everywhere I could find that didn’t include Him. … Continue reading →

Some unspoken assumptions rarely admitted

Skilled Workman Posted on November 2, 2021 by David BergslandNovember 2, 2021

Some unspoken assumptions rarely admitted for believers in America these days should be mentioned. I noticed one of my bumper stickers for sale & chuckled. Yeshua Adonai LIKE IT OR NOT. Just a straightforward statement of Truth—right? I regularly see someone on the tube—usually a maker on YouTube—and wish to myself that I could just say to him or her, “You know, it really doesn’t matter what you personally like or believe. The Truth is that Jesus … Continue reading →
