“Jesus Choice should be our Choice”



Mat 27:34 They gave him wine to drink mingled with gall. And, after tasting it, he was unwilling to drink.



What an amazing scripture, Jesus beaten, bloodied, slapped, shamed, and His dignity removed, still chose for our sakes, not to hold us accountable in bitterness and unforgiveness for our sins. If you call yourself a Christian and live the life, then you also have been brutalized in one fashion or another, by so called well meaning… Continue

“ How Impious our Thoughts “



I can’t speak for others, but I know I’m not alone; 1Co 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.

Periodically, men and women in the 5 fold ministry go through things, we tell no one about as telling someone generally means weakness. This… Continue

A Baby's Hug

I did not write this. This came from our dear Lorene in an email and brought me to tears, so I had to share it with you here. D.M.

This is beautiful and I need to share with all of you.

God bless you and your family as we begin 2010.

We were the only family with children in the restaurant. I sat Erik in a high chair and noticed… Continue

“Displaced Thinking”



It has been brought to my attention as of late, through the Holy Spirit, that men, husbands are deceived through displaced thinking. Mar 12:24 Jesus told them, "Are you not deceived because you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God?

Granted, God did say the woman is the weaker vessel; 1Pe 3:7 Husbands, in the same way, live with your wives with understanding of their weaker nature yet showing them honor as co-heirs of the grace of life, so that… Continue

Ministering to pastors or maybe just the true God seekers



"Obey your leaders and submit to them,

for they are keeping watch over your souls,

as those who will have to give an account.

Let them do this with joy and not with groaning,

for that would be of no advantage to you."

—Hebrews 13:17



Sit back and think about it - you want the best spiritual direction possible, but



are you taking that person for… Continue

“Consider This Marrow to Thy Bones”

For so long we have missed the point of sin in the action of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, the church must arise and wake and walk the walk we were called to. The Word blaspheme has several meanings, all of which center around one very solid theological conclusion. If you’re disobeying God”s Word in any form of deliberate action, you’re blasphing the Holy Spirit, the unforgivable sin! Mar 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath… Continue

“Have we been misled?”









2Co 6:1 And working together with Him, we also urge that you not receive the grace of God in vain.

2Co 6:2 For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

2Co 6:3 We give no occasion for offense in anything, lest the ministry be blamed,

2Co 6:4 but in everything commending ourselves as ministers of… Continue

“We are not Cave Dwellers”



In today’s society of Christian believers, we find David’s original army, those in distress, in debt, and discontented still are alive and not so well, still in the discomfort of grumble mode. 1Sa 22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

1Sa 22:2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one… Continue

What if God said, it's time for the small God fearing churches, to come together as one body, different members but functioning in love together. What if God said, I want my churches to come together in prayer, then I want them to go into the hospitals in there areas, and everyone they come in contact with, will be healed immediately and take up their beds and walk out. What if healthcare became a matter of the person(s) through the hand of God and the green god idol of doctors and… Continue
