The Rock of Earth and Ladder of Heaven
In the book of Genesis, chapter 28, we find Jacob running from his brother Esau. He will eventually end up in Haran in the house of his uncle, Laban. He will then marry two women, work for over 14 years, and inevitably return to reconcile with his brother. However, in chapter 28, I see an interesting thing happen. “And Jacob lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night because...

"My Father will Feel Me"
Genesis 27:12 KJV
“My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.”
Genesis 27:21 KJV
“And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.”
The Bible says in Genesis 27:1-4 KJV, “And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes...

Leave to Cleave
I was casually reading one day and came upon the scripture in Acts 11 where a disciple named Barnabas had been sent by the church in Jerusalem to Antioch to see about a current revival that had caught their ear. The Greeks were receiving Jesus and getting saved. Barnabas came upon this revival and witnessed the hand of the Lord moving. In Acts 11:23 it says, “who, when he came, and had...

Virtuous Ground
“Virtuous Ground”
Luke 8:8 “And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold.”
1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
I’ve been on the road now for nine years this September. This pilgrimage has been a teacher in itself. The environments themselves have been instructors to me. I’ve been in schools, prisons, rehabs (large and...

“This is an ear gospel, not an eye gospel!”
– Evg. Eric Clark
Take heed how you hear!
Sometimes it’s hard to get a “rhema” word from God when a hurricane is blowing. Rather, it is in the calm of the storm or the quiet ray of sunlight that brings the storms end, and this is where assessments are made. People, for the most part, all have a few internal questions that they would really love an answer too. Why did this happen? What about that? This is normal. Would it be a...

“Before Moses encoutered God, he met Jethro!”
Excellence or Arrogance?
“And Moses was content to dwell with the man…” Exodus 2:21 KJV
“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.” Exodus 3:1 KJV
Moses had fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian (a descendant of Abraham and Keturah). It was in this land that...

Private Parts
“..For this thing was not done in a corner (private).” Acts 26:26 KJV
I’m sure that you have gotten a bill in the mail or a legal document before that you didn’t fully understand. So you pick up the phone and call. The salesman or collector gave you a word for word description and explanation of the company’s policy and procedure. Now had you turned over to the last page and looked on the back,...

John 14: 19 KJV “Because I live, ye shall live also.”
I heard of two mothers whose children were involved in a tragic accident. A man who was drunk ran a red light, and in a drunken stupor killed a teenage daughter. Two mothers, two women, both hurting but in different ways. The drunk driver’s mother was full of guilt, disappointment, and pain (for her life was also in that car). The...

Cursing the King – 2 Samuel 16: 5-14
Have you ever heard the phrase “they got off scott free”? Maybe you’ve heard someone say, “They got away with murder”. These phrases have forever been used when someone who seems to be guilty eludes justice and gets a free pass back into society. It appears as though he or she has been condoned instead of condemned. It appears that way, but it is not so. ...

Can You Stay Alive Until You See It?
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to...

A Healing Presence
There is no question that the Apostle Paul meant what he said in 2 Corinthians 7:5 when he stated, “We were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.” Now, from reading Paul’s resume of troubles in 2 Corinthians 11, we certainly believe him. However, whether in prison, or the middle of the sea floating on a board that used to be a ship, God always sent help. Now...

And His Eyes Were As a Flame of Fire
“…And His Eyes Were As a Flame of Fire.” Revelation 1:14 KJV This scripture caught my attention some time ago, and I had a few thoughts I believe were from the Lord on this text. First of all, what is Passion? I can tell you it’s easier to be passionless than to have passion. When it comes to serving Christ, it’s very hard to have passion without purpose. Passion...

Every Dog Has It's Day
Matthew 15. 21-28 NIV Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.” Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her...

DEFEATED
I want to give you the sustenance to “crawl on your cross”, something you can die with! We live in a culture that has attempted to successfully homogenize God, make God relevant to us, get Him down here. Our culture is baited with religion. We add Jesus to all the other idols in our lives, keeping one foot in the world and one in Christ. So then, we nibble at that religion because we get...
