Written June 10, 2020 Hidden in Christ - Colossians 3:3 For we have been born of God; born of the Spirit; not of natural seed to inherit the ‘Tower of Babel’ that this world is building; but of spiritual seed to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. What fellowship can Light possibly have with darkness? We are no longer of the lineage left to us by our earthly forefathers (which will perish): We have been born again of seed incorruptible:  The wind blows wherever it will. No one knows where it comes from or where it is going- so it is the same with everyone born of the Spirit. Now, like Melchizedek the Priest of Salem, we are a puzzle to this world; we leave no paper trail except to the Cross: We have no lineage except Christ, who is all and who is in all who believe: We have no identity except in Him - and we do not need one. All that matters is a new creation. God is our Father; He hems us in, in front and behind. Our past is under His Blood; our present is hidden in His Body; our futur...

So much to be thankful for… Lamentations 3:22-24 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,    “therefore I will hope in him.” Exodus 16:13-31 21 After this the people gathered the food MORNING by MORNING each family according to its need. Matthew 6:19-34 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. “Sufficient for the day is its own trouble”. Give us this day our DAILY  bread - Matthew 6:11 (See also Matthew 15:26 - for me this “daily bread” has also included healing.  The lord has been quickening these scriptures to me because he wanted to remind me that he has everything we need for today - and ONLY today! Whether it is protection, strength, wisdom, favor, provision (including financial) and even healing. I have been trusting the Lord for healing for myself and Joe, only for today- and not w...

 Written October 31, 2022 A Testimony  In 1996, while I was in college, I was given a evangelism tract by a friend. This small booklet explained to me (a humanist at the time) the full Gospel: man’s fallen state, through Adam; our separation from God, who is perfect and holy; and what He (God) did to take away this separation. I read the tract, was convicted of my sin, repented and acknowledged Jesus Christ as 1. The Son of God, who is God 2. The Lord and sovereign of my life 3. My Savior from death and Hell. I did not realize then, that what happened at that moment, had not only saved my soul, but was going to keep me from falling…over and over again. Doctrines of demons…in the House of God “God’s Word is not scripture, God’s word is the message you are hearing from God, and then you speak forth and you attract the reality that you speak.”  This above quote from Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now, is a New Age/New Thought teaching known as the Law of Attraction…and is a mai...
