A recreated believer is required

Skilled Workman Posted on July 28, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 28, 2024

A recreated believer is required to enter the Kingdom. It’s your ticket to get out of here. This is how you are introduced to the King. And you certainly do not want to hear, “Who are you? I never knew you,” on that day. The trick is that like all things created by the Lord, your rebirth from God will be highly individualized. There is no set way. For me, it is obvious that you must be … Continue reading →

Mountains and islands gotta go

Skilled Workman Posted on July 25, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 25, 2024

Mountains and islands gotta go —for real. Scripture is clear that the mountains will be laid low, the valleys will be filled and the islands of the sea will disappear. This is a major remodeling of the planet…coming to a time near you (probably within the decade). “For the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth shake. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is split through, the earth is shaken … Continue reading →

The initial assumption is that scripture is literal

Skilled Workman Posted on July 25, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 25, 2024

The initial assumption is that scripture is literal —I’ve known the Lord for a little over fifty years. But I agree with this basic position more every year. Every year I find more places where scripture is meant to be taken literally. That applies from Genesis through Revelation. This is not a place to argue specifics. What we want to encourage you to do is make it one of your prime tools to study scripture. “Is this … Continue reading →

No nation will survive

Skilled Workman Posted on July 24, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 24, 2024

No nation will survive the times which are upon us. Even Israel must be radically changed. I know: you had no idea. I’m not surprised. If you take the challenge, you need to come to grips with the progression upward from catholic to protestant to evangelical to pentecostal to believers. Believers is where we are now. I do not care about denominations at all. What you need to face is that each step added some powerful doctrines … Continue reading →

The evil will be purged

Skilled Workman Posted on July 21, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 21, 2024

The evil will be purged coming soon to a planet near you. The Creator has been patient waiting for us to repent. There is still a little time, but it’s running out. Isaiah warned us, about 2700 years ago, in chapter 24: “Behold, the Lord will lay waste the earth and make it desolate,     and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.  The earth shall be utterly laid waste and utterly despoiled;     for the Lord … Continue reading →

New Styles for ePUBs in InDesign

Skilled Workman Posted on July 12, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 12, 2024

New Styles for ePUBs in InDesign —this is one of the wonderful things I discovered while I was researching and testing for the revised procedures for making excellent ePUBs in my new book, Niche Publishing for Believers Using InDesign. I was just going edit/proof my old Book Publishing book. It’s twelve years old or a little more. But as I got into it, I ended up with a massive revision. I have learned so much in the … Continue reading →

The Age of Reason started it

Skilled Workman Posted on April 8, 2024 by David BergslandApril 8, 2024

The Age of Reason started it. Started what? The Great Falling Away, of course. The beginning was well hidden by civilization. The plan is the complete rejection of God and Truth. It’s so outrageous that a small beginning was required. But once you think about it at all, nothing less will do for the Lawless One. In the seventeen hundreds, these concepts had already been stirring around throughout the Western world for quite a while—beginning in the … Continue reading →

The doctrinal warfare ends for good

Skilled Workman Posted on July 18, 2023 by David BergslandJuly 27, 2023

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 May 15, 2023 by David BergslandMay 15, 2023

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 April 14, 2023 by David BergslandJuly 26, 2024

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 →
