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 →

Identify works of Satan before warfare begins

Skilled Workman Posted on July 15, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 15, 2020

Identify works of Satan before the warfare begins. Simply lashing out can cause issues. We don’t want to hurt the people involved in the problem. Trying to force a deliverance on a person with mental damage can cause even more damage. You are building a case, seeking insight from the Lord about how to proceed. The warfare is against any evil spirits involved. You are not fighting people. You are seeking to bring healing and wholeness to … Continue reading →

New-found freedom to change in rebirth

Skilled Workman Posted on July 14, 2020 by David BergslandJuly 14, 2020

We have a new-found freedom to change in our rebirth after we repent and ask Jesus in to our life. The world talks about our freedom. But we have no real freedom until we enter the Kingdom of God. This makes no sense until you’re reborn. You will not understand these things until you have been born of God. If this hasn’t happened yet in your life, you need to take care of that first.  Your choice … 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 →

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 →
