Faith and worship
Luke 7:36-50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” (v. 50) The faith that saves is a faith that draws near to Jesus and lavishes love, thanks, and worship on Him. We cannot worship from afar. We cannot worship with retained dignity… The faith that saves us is the type of faith that does…

The deck is stacked
Last night in our prayer group we were catching up on the past two weeks. As I talked about what God was speaking to me concerning Ethiopia, I was listening to what God was saying to people in our church while I was away. One phrase that stuck out as we talked was, “The deck is stacked.” Someone had heard…

The season of opportunity
This is no longer a season of standing “at the threshold” of opportunity. We are no longer in a place of being “right at the door.” We are through the door. We are not at the opportunity. We are IN the opportunity. It is time to walk on and work hard. The power of the Spirit is abundantly present. 20 Now to him who is…

Tested by Fire
Over the past several weeks we have been in prayer for a missionary friends who has battled for his life. There are so many spiritual elements in the equation and the prayers of the saints have truly carried on a spiritual war. So much is at stake. It’s the life of a missionary. It’s a closed country. It’s the lives…

Am I simply doing what Jesus asked?
I often worry over “right numbers” or “right moments.” The right moment is found in hearing the call of God and obeying. Right numbers? Forget it. God isn’t bothered by ANY number. Just get going in what he has asked you to do! 18 Jesus asked, “What is God’s kingdom like? To what can I compare it? 19 It’s like a mustard seed that someone…

“Willing” Your Way Back to Faith
Psalm 77 is a place of faith for me. I read someone willing their way back to faith. They have been seeking God continuously, but to no avail. God seems to be silent. Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion? (v.9) But, then, a choice is made. To this I will appeal… (v. 10) The choice is to…

Calling out the dream
This past weekend I called out the dreams of God in a way I’ve just never tried before. I declared completely irrational things that I can truly blame as “the anointing.” 😉 Besides that, I sensed a strong call from the Lord to speak out the dreams HE is giving me. It’s not my ability and when these things happen,…

It’s easy to have faith when the building is full
Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel? The New International Version. (2011). (Zec 4:10). Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan. In a day of mega everything, people find it easy to jump on board the train…

Dream with Me
I sat with a young man working with InterVarsity in Duluth, MN this morning. We dreamed some big dreams together as I listened to a young man caught up in the call of God and longing to impact students lives that can make a difference in the decades to come in the fields of science and math. Huge dreams. Yesterday…

Miracle Work
Miracle Work by Jordan Seng is a down to earth book on healing and prophetic ministry. I am currently working my way through the book. It is about understanding simple faith and desire. We really do need a boldness of simply believing and then walking in that obedience. We need a fresh boldness and desire.
