Gathering a remnant…

Skilled Workman Posted on December 29, 2010 by David BergslandDecember 29, 2010

For a long time my heart has been directed toward people in the pews of mainline churches left without teaching, training, or encouragement in righteousness, power, and love in the Lord. I spend much time thinking about them, praying for them, asking God to reach them. Today, I was listening to a televangelist who was prophetically talking about God gathering a remnant as we all prepare for the end and the revisiting of the Messiah to the earth. … Continue reading →

Training in Godliness

Skilled Workman Posted on December 28, 2010 by David BergslandDecember 28, 2010

I’m working on 1 Timothy and ended up writing a little blurb about Godly training. I thought I’d put the list up and see if you think I missed anything, or messed it up. Reading scripture: Increasingly we find that simply reading scripture like a well-loved novel has great benefit. It is literally feeding your soul with raw materials for the Holy Spirit to use in your life. Studying scripture: This takes the raw food received in … Continue reading →

Asking for prayers, please

Skilled Workman Posted on December 5, 2010 by David BergslandDecember 5, 2010

I have been spending a lot of time in prayer, seeking the face of the Lord, trying to follow His lead to write Bible studies and develop materials to make those studies real, helpful, and empowering. As I am working on these things, my heart continuously goes out to people in mainline churches with no spiritual resources—no way to hear the true powerful gospel. The movements of power in the 1960s and 1970s are distant memories. The … Continue reading →

Finding the peace that passes understanding…

Skilled Workman Posted on November 22, 2010 by David BergslandNovember 22, 2010

This is a short excerpt from the new: Finding the Power to Believe Here’s a short passage from my new verse by verse Bible Study of Philippians. The Modern Viking Paraphrase [MVP] is my interpretation of the core message of the scripture. It is a compilation of many translations. _________________________________ Verse 4:6 Don’t worry or get upset about anything, but no matter what is going on let the Lord know your opinion about everything, not forgetting to … Continue reading →

Work it out with awe and reverence!

Skilled Workman Posted on August 22, 2010 by David BergslandAugust 22, 2010

This is an excerpt from my new book, “Finding the Power to Believe”. Philippians Verse 2:12 “Therefore, as you have always obeyed, not only when I was there but also now that I am not, work out your salvation in deep reverence and careful caution” [MVP] This is serious stuff. You need to be on guard, watching and cooperating with the Lord. It is a work—it doesn’t just happen magically overnight. It will take you the rest … Continue reading →

The Positive confession

Skilled Workman Posted on July 3, 2010 by David BergslandJuly 3, 2010

One of the more common heresies running around the church today is that we must always speak positively, that negative confessions are, by definition bad. The truth of the matter is quite different. II Timothy 3:16 {NKJV} “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” God tells us the purpose in the next verse [let’s use New Living this time]: “God uses it to prepare and … Continue reading →

Pulling punches?

Skilled Workman Posted on June 27, 2010 by David BergslandJune 30, 2010

Guilty as charged! Maybe it’s just me, but I rarely find a place where I can really say what I feel. A lot of it is my shyness and timidity on social situations. I can hear the laughing and the “yea, right!”s—but I ask you, “How many of you have seen me in a social situation?” Surely you can see my motivation to teach and write. However, as a writer and teacher, I really need to be … Continue reading →

The baptism of the Holy Spirit: empowerment

Skilled Workman Posted on May 24, 2010 by David BergslandMay 24, 2010

Receiving the empowerment of the Lord As we remember the first Pentecost of the church, it is important that we make sure we have experienced our personal pentecost. How is this baptism different? John the Baptist separated it out before Jesus began his ministry. In John 1:29-34, John clearly says what we have experienced as reality. “The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin … Continue reading →

Giving the Holy Spirit control

Skilled Workman Posted on May 23, 2010 by David BergslandMay 23, 2010

Possession has a really bad ring to it, doesn’t it? However, that is simply due to the fact that we almost always preface possession with demon. This is a bad thing. However, the Holy Spirit is God himself and a gentleman at the very least. This is a spirit you should covet. This is a spirit you want to possess you, to fill you to overflowing. Maintaining spiritual security The manner of living this way mimics what we … Continue reading →
