Understanding people is more important than understanding information used to misinterpret people. Do not judge others based on personal beliefs. In lieu of knowing another’s heart, do not judge.
December 28, 2019
Some believe they love when they satisfy their own understanding of love; the same thought goes into believing they are loved when their understanding of love is satisfied. The way I want to be loved is not the only way to love. Until I understand that concept, I cannot see love.

The claim that Jesus is not everyone’s King does not change His status one bit! The idea of kingship may be a parable, but that does not change the fact that Christ Jesus is the preeminent servant, the greatest among us (God with us all).

December 19, 2019
Someone said, “You may be the only Christ some people see today.” I pray not. Christ Jesus came to reconcile the world; I do not want to be in between anyone and the Redeemer. The Christ in me is available to everyone eye to eye. He is the Anointed One; I am only one who He has anointed (so the anointing may teach).
December 16, 2019
The Lord is my shepherd. Not because I chose Him to watch over me, He chooses to watch over me. That is who the I Am is.
December 15, 2019
The gospel message we have been given is the message of reconciliation. If we give another message, we are not giving from what we have received. God is pleading through us, “Be you reconciled!”

December 11, 2019
The lies others tell about you do not change the truth of who you are. Neither do the lies you tell about yourself. Every so often, we all get a flash of brilliance when we know just how wrong we have been. Those flashes can help us grow. Forgive yourself! Boast in the Lord (Truth, Life, and Way).
December 10, 219
There are things God shares with an individual the individual cannot share with another, because the things cannot be expressed in confused words. The anointing teaches Spirit to spirit of the anointing God has placed into the individual.
December 9, 2019
Sharing your opinion does not mean telling someone what to do or how to do what. It says, “There are other options.” No matter what you do, someone will not approve!
December 8, 2019
Jesus turned over the tables of the religious money changers extorting the temple sacrifice. He sat at the table with sinners.
December 7, 2019
We all feel rejected, mislead, and misinformed some, if not most, of the time. The most outwardly conceited person I have ever met is the most insecure person I have ever met. The person who seems to have the most confidence doubts himself continuously.
December 6, 2019
We seek peace by going to the Prince of Peace – we seek righteousness by inviting Him in – we seek the kingdom of God within. We must seek peace and pursue it earnestly. Seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Seek and you will find.
November 25, 2019 – I Believe in Miracles
Over the summer, I was burning scraps of wood, leftover from past projects, and yard debris in a burning barrel. The fire had been burning for a while and the barrel was hot. Walking towards the barrel, I stumbled and fell towards the fire. I know it was only for a brief moment, but I was playing different scenarios over in my head. It appeared that I was going to hit the barrel with my face. I reasoned that I could push of the barrel with my hands to protect my face. Could I use just one hand or would that not give me enough distance? As the thoughts were running through my head, I shouted out, “Help me Lord!” I felt hands, made out of a blast of wind, grab me and stand me upright.
It is time for those of us who have experienced miracles to share. I cannot tell you the theology of what I believed or did not believed when I asked for the Lord’s help. Cannot tell who will believe and who will try to explain it away or who will call it a fable. There was no one else around, so there is no one else to share the story except the spirit that came to my rescue. I am not special, except that we are all special to the creator of the universe. I only asked the Lord for help, so I can only thank the Lord for helping.
November 19, 2019
When my words do not make sense to the ears, God answers my heart. He hears the intent of my heart, the spirit of the words spoken. Like a parent listening to a child trying to form a sentence from a limited number of words, He rejoices at the sound of my voice.
November 18, 2019
When you speak of the glory of God on your life, people will see it as bragging on yourself; even those who talk endlessly about the glory of God on their own lives.
November 16, 2019
Respect is part of love and is given, not earned. Respect is the least amount of love we should give someone.
November 13, 2019
In Mark 1:15, “repent” is “to think differently.” Think differently and believe (have faith, entrust) the gospel! Believe Jesus came to take away your shame and guilt.
November 12, 2019
No one can come to the Son unless the Father who sent the Son draws him or her. Neither the person who plants nor the person who waters is anything, but God who gives the increase.
November 11, 2019
God sent Moses back to Egypt. Your past is not the issue. Understand that Jesus has already overcome. People perish because of corrupted (for lack of pertinent) knowledge.
November 10, 2019
When I hear or read a message, I think about how it applies to the lost. That is because the anointing is teaching. Learning from the Spirit is not in the physical act of hearing or reading, but in the spiritual intent of the message. What were the words commanded to do?
November 8, 2019
Why do we give more to the person anointed to preach than we do the person anointed to serve the body in other ways? We are all temples of God. The calling of the believer is to serve in his or her own capacity. “As each one has received a gift, serve it to one another, as good servants of the manifold (marked by diversity) grace of God” (1 Peter 4:10).
November 7, 2019
People believe what they do is either so much more and more important than everyone else or so much less and less important. Neither belief is the truth. “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had” (Luke 21:3-4).
November 7, 2019 PM
Doctrines do not knit us together, they separate us into denominations. f there is any unity, it is grace that knits us together! The name of Jesus (in our own language) is our common message.
November 5, 2019
Do not give me your ideas about hell, if you have not told me about the King and the kingdom. Jesus went about teaching in the synagogues the gospel of the kingdom.
November 4, 2019
The gospel is the good message of the kingdom and the good message of the work of the King for us all. The gospel should make you feel good. I wonder if people who say, “The gospel is not a feel good message,” have ever heard the gospel of the kingdom.
October 27, 2019
Too often people talk about others getting, what my grandma called, their comeuppance with a type of self-pride. There is nothing to rejoice about when someone fails. There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. We speak the truth in love. Jesus said He was the truth, the life, and the way. Speak of Jesus in love. The gospel is the good news and not a threat. Speak the gospel in love. Share your testimony in love.
October 26, 2019
When Jesus ministered in the temple and synagogues, He was ministering to the lost. “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Luke 5:32).
October 35, 2019
A friend once told me that forgiving is judging. Isn’t forgiven the kind of judgement we would all like to receive. That passes the “Do unto others” clause. I’m not sold on the idea that forgiving is judging; I believe forgiving frees one from the burden of judging others.
October 18, 2019
God announced to me this morning, “I did not create humans because I needed someone to rule over. I created humans to relate to and interact with.”
October 14, 2019
Apostle Paul tried to tell us that without love all the rest is meaningless.
October 13, 2019
Asked to love, people make excuses not to love. Asked not to judge, people make excuses to continue to judge. Asked to forgive… Everyone has chosen their own fruit of the knowledge of good and evil to eat, except one man.
October 9, 2019
We have High Priest who mediates a new covenant. We have a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle (tent) the Lord erected (pitched) on the sixth day of creation. We are God breathed from creation and reconciled with a fresh blast of His breath.
September 30, 2019
People are going to focus on things that are important in their lives right now. They may not see what you are seeing, but you do not see what they are seeing. Life is alive with experiences!
September 25, 2019
Loving one another is not falling all over each other with words of affection. That may be one result (maybe). Loving one another is respecting and caring about one another, whether or not we agree on all topics.
August 31, 2019
Israel’s Priests took the temporary blood offering into the mercy seat once a year, into the temporary temple built by men. Jesus takes us into the mercy seat once and for all, to restore the true temple of the Holy Spirit.
August 27, 2019
Unified in our commission with Christ! Not one building, one body with many members baptized by Spirit and fire. Not another mega fellowship, fellowship everywhere we go. God already has a mega Church. We call it the body of Christ. The world has enough division. We need a vision of unity.
August 18. 2019
People who seek to diminish the power of grace seek to diminish their own salvation.
June 5, 2019
June 4, 2019
Jesus did not come to start another religion. Jesus came to get God out of religion and into the individual. Do you not know that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the home of God?
June 2, 2019
If someone disagreeing with you is causing division, then you are also causing division. People forget, God created choices.
June 1, 2019
How is believing in the unifying gift of grace for everyone a bad thing? Maybe not everyone will accept the gift of grace, but grace is still for everyone.
May 31, 2019
Blaming the victim is not the solution. If the Church has been anointed to heal the broken hearted, how can you blame the broken hearted for not being healed?
May 30, 2019
God created us all with dreams, ambitions, and callings. However, not the same dreams, ambitions, and callings. It is all right to be unique!
May 23, 2019
Humanity is a stressed mess because we try to fight spiritual battles in the physical.
May 22, 2019
At times, the person I want to love the least needs my love the most. Sometimes that person is I.
May 21, 2019
If you do not lean on your own understanding, why would I lean on your understanding? Sharing the gospel is sharing experiences, not insisting your experience is God’s limitation.
May 20, 2019
Misspelling a word or misplacing a comma is not evil. Standing behind a pulpit and misleading people, might just qualify. Speak as the oracle of God. Speak with love. If a meeting with Jesus can change Saul to Paul, there is still hope.

Church folk have been preached to so much, they don’t know their life is a ministry!

If you give someone a meal, you will not get that meal back. You can buy another one, but not the same one. If you give a gift to get it back, it is not a gift.
May 4, 2019
When you start to understand true ministry, you will realize ministering is part of drawing close to Crist Jesus by serving those He came to reconcile to Himself.
May 3, 2019
Lost is lost to your identity and the true power of your dominion.
May 2, 2019
What you preach is more important than the fact that you preach. Preach the gospel!
May 1, 2019
That person preaching at you to be perfect is not. Forgiveness is for receiving and giving.
April 30, 2019
We were not redeemed to hate on the world the Redeemer came to reconcile to Himself.
April 28, 2019
Your anointing is the endowment of the Holy Spirit given to you.
April 27, 2019
We are all working out our own mess. The difference between the lost and the found is the found know they are lost without Christ Jesus.
March 31, 2019
King David and Paul both understood that their imperfections did not stop the grace of God.
March 30, 2019
Paul wrote, ” I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.” Not that Paul saves, but he was all things in Christ. Just saying.
March 29, 2019
The One who said, “In the day that you do you will surely die,” has paid the price of death once and for all.
March 28, 2019
Buildings do not feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, visit the sick and those in prison. A building is a useful apparatus just like your car. Both are suitable places to experience God. Anyone telling you that you have to come to their building to experience God is trying to deceive you.
March 22, 2019
Hurt people don’t hurt people, uncompassionate people hurt people.
March 21, 2019
The person telling you to be still until you are perfect is not perfect and is not following his or her own advice.
March 20, 2019
Forgiveness is not Plan B, it was the way life was designed to work.
March 19, 2019
March 18, 2019
Your transgressions have been washed away, so don’t put on other people’s transgressions through unforgiveness!
The gift of grace is peace on earth and goodwill towards humanity. The condemnation is in that grace has appeared before humankind and they would not come to the grace, but hid in their transgressions.
March 14, 2019
When you believe in salvation by grace through faith in the name of Christ, the belief changes you. The changes do not grant you salvation, God has already done that work; salvation changes you.
March 12, 2019
Religion has taken us so far from the meaning of love and grace that I wonder if He will find any faith when He returns. There is faith in traditions and self-works, but what about the love who sent Him and the grace He gifted to us?
March 11, 2019
March 8, 2019
Righteousness is not separate from the One who is righteous, the One who qualified to cover humanity’s transgressions and wash them away. He reconciled us to Himself by His righteousness and made us the righteousness of God in Him.
March 4, 2019
God loves you even though His thoughts are not your thoughts and His ways are not your ways!
February 21, 2019
People deny their desire and need for love, because people will act like they don’t want what they think they cannot have. Prove them wrong. LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
February 19, 2019
God has reconciled the world to Himself, now all things are of God. Even if the sanctimonious think you are not, you are. God hears your prayers without their approval.
February 18, 2019
Right does not equate to righteous. Forgiveness does. The grace of God does! What right have you done to cover yesterday? What can you do?
February 15, 2019
Not forgiving self can lead to trivializing your misbehaviors in comparison to the actions of others. The actions of others can become the security blanket you pull over yourself to protect your conscience from yourself. Love your neighbor as you love yourself includes loving yourself.
February 11, 2019
Don’t pervert a pure heart with your opinion of what a pure heart looks like. Don’t pervert the mind of another with your ideas of what they should be doing for you.
February 8, 2019
When you go to church you are a customer of the business. When you are the Church, you are a member of a living body that exists everywhere. The first places we need to put Christ is in our heart and mind. Mercy and grace are spiritual laws. Meditate on that.
February 7, 2019
It is easier to do things perfectly when you are not doing anything! Those who are trying will make mistakes. That is contrary to self-righteousness. You can be perfect in your own eyes with or without trying. Try, learn, and forgive!
February 6, 2019
Loyalty is given, not earned. Loyalty is an attribute of the giver and not the recipient.
February 5, 2019
God has given us the word of reconciliation, and it is forgiveness.
January 24, 2019
You may be like Paul and not always do the good you desire to do. But, you’ll do more good trying to do good than you will by not caring. Love, forgive, and seek to cause no harm.
January 22, 2019
If we do not trust the Holy Spirit to teach, then we do not trust the gospel we preach. It is better for you if I remind you of the anointing who teaches than trying to convince you of what the anointing has and is teaching me. Sharing my testimony is for that purpose, to share the goodness of God and the endowment of His Spirit given to us.
January 21, 2019
“Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment” (1 John 3:21-23). No mystery to solve to know what commandments John is writing about. Believe and love!
January 20, 2019
Let no man confuse you, the anointing will teach you of the anointing. You don’t give someone a gift and hide the gift from them!
January 19, 2019
God is everywhere. His are the hands creating and He is the breath who is breathing life into us. He places His Spirit in our inner being. He sits on the mercy seat in the Holy of Holies of our inner most being. He is the Word feeding our minds and teaching us in our meditations.
January 15, 2019
My testimony is not something Paul wrote to the Corinthians or Romans. My testimony is what God has done and is doing in my life. My family and friends have their own testimonies of God in their lives. Sometimes a person’s testimony might be that they do not see the presence of God in their lives. They need to hear our testimonies.
January 14, 2019
January 13, 2019
We share the gospel because the world needs the gospel. When we take Christ into the world through word and deeds we are taking Him where He left heaven’s throne to go. When Jesus said, “Go,” He intended us to go in Christ with Christ in us into the places where people are who need Him.
January 12, 2019
Love is greater than agreement. I don’t have to agree with you to love you.
January 11, 2019
January 10, 2019
Not everyone will accept your interpretation nor your conclusions based on your interpretations. Get over it. If it is what you believe, it is what you believe. Give everyone the same respect. Share your testimony and let the anointing teach.
January 9, 2019
It is the work of God that you believe. It is God working in Christ that reconciles the world to Himself and does not impute trespasses to them. Now all things are of God.
January 8, 2019
Be the Church and you will always be at Church, everywhere you go. Church is not somewhere you go, Church is something you carry everywhere you go.
January 7, 209-19
We can be the righteousness of God in Him because Jesus, as the Son of man, is the righteousness of God for humanity. It is written, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” When the first man ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he took it upon himself and his descendants to know sin. He who knew no sin is the righteousness of God.
January 6, 2019
Talking about the gospel doesn’t require a timeout from your life. It shouldn’t feel like a commercial break from the normal programming. “We now pause for a quick proclamation of the gospel, then our regular programming will resume.” Talk about the gospel likes it is part of your life.
January 2, 2019
It is easy to point out the unrighteousness of the unrighteous and just as easy to point out the unrighteousness of the righteous. The gospel is pointing out the righteousness of the One who covers us with His righteousness. Turn your mind to forgiveness and confess it from your heart.
January 1, 2019
Everyone makes mistakes. Excusing yours and condemning everyone else for theirs is not a resolution. To be forgiven, forgive. Grace is for everyone!
