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 →

A prayer for a blessed Christmas 2021

Skilled Workman Posted on December 24, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 24, 2021

A prayer for a blessed Christmas 2021 is complex. For those of you in the Bride of the Messiah, it’s an exciting time. You can click on the image to the left for a pay whatever you like—if anything— link to a PDF and/or ePUB of a short booklet. It’s exciting as we live in Bible times. This time is as major as the first time Yeshua came to earth in the flesh. As far as momentous … 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 →

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 →

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living

Skilled Workman Posted on March 24, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 16, 2020

Knowing Jesus personally in daily living is required to get into the Kingdom of God. That’s easy to prove Biblically. It’s hard to find in the church today. It’s not that pastors and teachers are against the idea. It’s simply not taught because it’s so basic. OR, it’s so personal that they’re embarrassed to share in public. But it’s so pervasive that you really can’t go to any church today and ask, “What’s the Lord done 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 →

By retaining comprehensive Godly focus we’re fruitful

Skilled Workman Posted on September 8, 2019 by David BergslandSeptember 8, 2019

Because His imminent return grows closer, retaining comprehensive Godly focus becomes even more important. In our Western civilization, the pressures to lose our sense of reality have become nearly overwhelming. You need to work on that. After 45+ years of walking with Jesus, I still need to work on it often. Reality?! What’s that? Here I may lose several of you. If you have not realized yet that scripture is literally true, you need to talk with … Continue reading →

A prominent voice nows says Lightning Source is no longer recommended

Skilled Workman Posted on May 17, 2014 by David BergslandMay 17, 2014

  Aaron Shepherd has stopped recommending Lightning Source as necessary for self-publishers. This is a major reversal for a big name in self-publishing. His position is that the days of easy sales are over. New self-publishers really need to watch their costs, because their royalties will be lean unless the Lord or the world blesses [depending on your spiritual position in creation]. I’ll post more in coming days.

You need to sort out burdens and loads… Galatians 6:1-5

Skilled Workman Posted on June 18, 2012 by David BergslandJune 18, 2012

Galatians 6:1 Dear brothers and sisters, if one of you is caught in sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help restore that person. And watch yourself, that you don’t fall. Here’s the practical instruction alluding to the troubles I’m guessing at. Love and restoration are the solution to bad incidents. This is what we should try to do. The perp’s response is not your problem. All you can do is try gently to help … Continue reading →
