Bride exclusivity is reality

Skilled Workman Posted on October 10, 2021 by David BergslandOctober 10, 2021

Bride exclusivity is reality and you need to decide soon. This post will be a little complex. I’m trusting the Lord to show me how to put it together. But it’s something I’ve rarely heard in sermons, teachings, or discussions. I believe that part of the effort against the Rapture concerns a simple fact. The fact that Bride exclusivity is fought so hard might be partially the result of the enemy wanting to hurt believers any way … Continue reading →

Change brings opportunity every time

Skilled Workman Posted on September 1, 2021 by David BergslandSeptember 1, 2021

Change brings opportunity every time —that’s my summation of 2020 and 2021, so far. Suddenly I’m a writer of fiction. It’s been a fun ride. Nine novels since the first of January 2020. But that doesn’t even begin to mention the change in my spiritual walk. With Pat’s death, I turned to Jesus. He has responded with love and power. It’s been amazing. I was always told, draw near to Him and He’ll draw near to you. … Continue reading →

Black and white often provides focus

Skilled Workman Posted on March 8, 2021 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2021

Throughout my life as an artist/designer I have been struck with how black and white often provides focus. It’s  beautiful visual decision, but it tends to be more difficult than color. Elegance and simplicity are very hard to achieve without being stark and lifeless. The painting on the left is the first one I painted after I met Jesus in January, 1974. Being left-handed, it reads from right to left. The simple exuberance of leaving the chaos … Continue reading →

God’s judgement comes with His blessing

Skilled Workman Posted on November 22, 2020 by David BergslandNovember 22, 2020

God’s judgement comes with His blessing especially when we turn to Him in trust. I was reading Perry Stone’s new book this morning and I was struck in his introduction by the juxtaposition of two major events: in April of 1906, both the San Francisco earthquake, and the Azusa Street revival occurred. The news called the earthquake the judgment of God. It’s probable that it was that as a consequence of the Gold Rush. In a very … Continue reading →

Giving permission to minister

Skilled Workman Posted on August 16, 2020 by David BergslandAugust 16, 2020

Who would think that giving permission to minister would be a powerful tool of evangelism? I’m not talking about dead mainline mortuaries either. Yes, giving permission to minister has become a powerful thing in a church where all kinds of unbiblical limitations on ministry are common. I was reading an article this morning on the New Circuit Riders. In it Yasmin Pierce, one of the members of a CR team says, “Many times, it’s about telling women … Continue reading →

Aliens or biblical view of Jesus

Skilled Workman Posted on July 30, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 30, 2020

Aliens or biblical view of Jesus by percentage in America has become heartbreaking. It’s clouded by the fact the pollsters will never ask only about Jesus. But, for aliens and UFOs there are good statistics. Click on the image to the left to get it large enough to read. For example, 57% believe there are aliens and civilizations on other planets. 45% believe that UFOs exist and have visited Earth. This is all muddied by the understanding … Continue reading →

Compare the big ten with American life and weep

Skilled Workman Posted on June 29, 2020 by David BergslandJune 29, 2020

Compare the big ten with American life and weep —now you understand why we’re in so much trouble. It’s not that we’re a little naughty. We’re completely rebellious. We are to be holy. The Ten Commandments have become such a normal part of my life, I no longer think about them. I found I couldn’t even remember some of them. So, I went to refresh myself. Oh my Lord! Our national policy directly opposes most, if not … Continue reading →

Natural birth pangs growing intensely

Skilled Workman Posted on May 10, 2020 by David BergslandMay 10, 2020

Natural birth pangs are growing intensely as 2020 moves on. The now normal reaction is, “Don’t bother me, it’s nothing new.” But they’re now closer & harder—and increasingly they are affecting the entire world. This month Lamb & Lion Ministries sent out their May Lamplighter magazine entitled The Signs of Nature. I support this excellent and trusted resource of prophetic news and information. The links are for free PDF downloads. Natural birth pangs growing intensely and who listens? … Continue reading →

Pressure brings repentance using stress

Skilled Workman Posted on May 3, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 15, 2020

Yes, pressure brings repentance using stress to reveal problems with our character. Look at what COVID-19 has done for us. Most of us are feeling pressure to whine, complain, be rude, give up, or act obnoxious. If our character is mature and fruitful, our reaction is to seek ways to help others in this tough time, and to seek the Lord who is the only one with a plan and the power to bring it to pass. … Continue reading →

The epidemic core remains repentance — look up!

Skilled Workman Posted on April 26, 2020 by David BergslandApril 26, 2020

The epidemic core remains repentance — look up! I’m sitting here on my Shabbat wondering why this has come upon us. Actually, I’ve been praying about that and seeking for my response since early March. Church comes online in fifteen minutes. That’s good. But what would the Lord have me do for you? The task He’s given me this morning centers around what He’s doing now in the world. This pandemic presents itself as a birth pang, … Continue reading →
