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 →

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 →

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 →

Truly, increasing the Bride or saving America matters

Skilled Workman Posted on October 19, 2021 by David BergslandOctober 19, 2021

Truly, increasing the Bride or saving America is our question. But America, as we know it, is not going to survive. The end of the age is here. We are in prophetic times — Bible times, again. Just recently, there was a major tent revival halfway between where I live in Rochester, New York and Buffalo. The response was phenomenal. A thousand pastors got involved. Many hundreds of volunteers showed up. Opening night happened in pouring rain, … Continue reading →

Bride exclusivity is reality

Skilled Workman Posted on October 10, 2021 by David BergslandJuly 26, 2024

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 →

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 →

Is child-like faith conversion required to be mature

Skilled Workman Posted on April 19, 2020 by David BergslandApril 19, 2020

Is child-like faith conversion required to be mature? Here we see an underlying reason why Satan has worked so hard to destroy the family. Beginning in the fifties, the world has relentlessly ridiculed fathers, expected women to take control, empowered children, sexualized society, driven material prosperity, and all the rest. One of the results of this happens to many. My child-like trust of my father in the flesh was basically destroyed when I was six and seven … Continue reading →

Empower Bible reading by asking the author for help

Skilled Workman Posted on April 2, 2020 by David BergslandApril 2, 2020

Empower Bible reading with the help of the author. There is a major difference between reading the Bible and asking the Lord to show you what He wants you to learn today. The Bible amazes me. But, an author guided read transforms my life—every day. The author of the book matters much more than the book itself Fortunately, the Bible’s author lives within you. If you haven’t tried it yet, ask the Holy Spirit [or Jesus] to … Continue reading →

Offering free bible studies of the epistles

Skilled Workman Posted on March 31, 2020 by David BergslandMarch 31, 2020

Offering free bible studies of the epistles which are now available for you—as we shelter in place under government orders. My prayer is that they will bless you and give you hope. I’ve always taught scripture verse-by-verse, since 1974. My students have found that it really helps to go over everything in context. I’ve advertised them as bible study free for alls. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own version. The room used provides copies of bibles in … Continue reading →

Personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything

Skilled Workman Posted on March 5, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2020

For me, the most important thing I’ve ever learned is that personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything. Currently, most of the church ignores this simple fact. To my horror, even churches preaching the gospel about the blood and the cross, focusing on new converts and leading them to the Lord, often don’t mention this from the pulpit. All of their services are evangelistic. As far as I can tell, the pastors and teachers who know this don’t … Continue reading →
