Reckon yourself dead was one of the first things I learned when I met Jesus in 1974. It was the core of my Dad’s teaching, at the time. He was my full-time mentor for the first year and a half as the Lord began my transformation from drug-crazed hippy. It was a major part of my foundation: Jesus did it all, I was dead, the Lord had a plan, I could trust Him. The death was the … Continue reading →
Procedure or satisfaction seems to be the crux of this problem I’m seeing. It’s not recognizing where the life is coming from. A large problem is my tendency to see importance without thinking things through. But this has been going on for a long time. I finally learned what the core problem is. Part of it has surfaced again recently as I have turned to evangelical pastors on YouTube for teaching scripture. At least they are covering … Continue reading →
Screw around with no consequences is the core message of the pro-choice crowd. It’s at the side of the wide and easy road. It always has been. No one wants to deal with the fact that the designer of us all designed us so that this caused a lot of problems—which we are now living through. Avoiding those problems is the reward for following the original plan. You know where the man cleaves to his wife, and … Continue reading →
Evangelism or discipleship we need both and it’s a real problem. The Lord has been working on me for the past five years. He has me attached to an aggressive special forces evangelistic church. I’ve had a hard time with it. Because they have a clear call and they are anointed in that direction. But I come from the discipleship camp. My current church does not do any discipleship, as I understand it. It’s been interesting to … Continue reading →
Laying the foundation for helping the religious into Life is necessary. At this point in the Church Age we’ve come to the place where the normal believer’s life has nearly disappeared. It’s hard to ignore the huge numbers of religious people who have not fulfilled the basic necessities of salvation. I call them churchians, as opposed to Christians, let alone believers. Before we can talk about what a normal believer is, we must lay a solid and … Continue reading →
Functional cessationism is a major problem as the world falls apart. As the endtimes intensify, His power will become more and more important in our lives. These are truly the perilous times Paul taught about in II Timothy 3: 1–3. We need the Holy Spirit to thread our way through the increasing chaos. As I’ve shared many times, The Lord has been radically disciplining me over the past five years since my wife went home. Part of … Continue reading →
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 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. 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 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 →
