Let me begin this introduction to say that I really love this girl. Over the past 18 years, we’ve prayed together, cried together, and laughed together until we’ve snorted. But what especially endears me to Amanda Walker is her ability to grapple with truth. Today’s post is no exception. She will have you grappling too. On April 25th, 2019 an …
At first glance, it looked like He was on His way to a wedding. It was a family affair, with His mother busily helping prepare. It would take almost three days for Him to walk there since it was about 70 miles or so (John 1:28, 43; 2:1). Why He resolved to go to the wedding, I don’t know. Maybe …
“He who practices the Truth comes to the light” (John 3:21). A room may look elegant and romantic by the flicker of candlelight, but expose it to the brightness of day and all inconsistencies become evident. The cracking paint, the peeling wallpaper, the dingy carpet. What low light masks; the sun’s rays accentuate. If we are truly …
Dear Mentor, I have a huge upcoming decision. Not only will it totally change my current schedule, it will also be a personal challenge. How do I make the right choice? …
My dear one, I’ve noticed your frustration when reading My Word. You spend the allotted time, but when you come away dry, your motivation wanes and your mind wanders. A printed word, in and of itself, is just a bit of ink, dried instantly upon a two-dimensional manuscript. Words cannot utter a sound or be distinguished with the …
My precious child, Are you okay? Are you feeling like the least in My Kingdom? It’s okay. I knew this would come up. Thinking of you, I’ve already addressed this issue. “The one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he…” (Matthew 11:11). Remember who I was speaking of? John the Baptist. …
My dear child, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17). Freedom is not chiseled in stone, but found by looking for Me. Liberty is not dependent upon your feelings or even your actions. Yet, it is quite easy to find. Find Me and you will find freedom. I explained this in …
Today, we turn our thoughts to the last of our spiritual senses: touch. Sure, the Apostle Paul spoke of laying hold of that “for which I was laid hold of by Christ.” (Philippians 3:12) But how can we truly grasp this when we can’t feel Him with our fingertips? I’m encouraged as I think about an experience with …
“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Mark announced. “Sewage was coming out the roof downspout!” The neighbors across the street had been experiencing some blockage in their septic system, so being the DIY types that they are, they had rented a sewage “snake” and were trying to alleviate the problem. It ended up that the obstacle was out …
Spirit-Wind living doesn’t only have an element of unpredictable direction, this life also includes unpredictable timing. Yet as humans, we are very concerned with time, aren’t we? The specific minute of our birth is recorded and, from that moment on, our lives revolve around hours, days and years. Granted, some of us are less regimented than others, but …
