You’ll find two types of blogs here: long-form (Blog) & short-form (Daily Dose).
The devil’s accusations stop where the blood of Jesus starts; and hell’s fury can’t outrun Heaven’s victory. Stay covered by the blood, anchored in the Word, and fearless in your testimony. "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Revelation 12:11).
Do not think that talking "about" God is the same as talking "to" God. He desires our attention to be intimate with Him well over us just having casual conversations about Him. Thus, do you know Him or do you just know about Him? "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection" (Philippians 3:10).
"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever" (I John 2:17). In other words, are you living for the will of the Lord or are you living for the thrills of the world? One way leads to destruction, while the other leads to salvation. Hint: doing the will of God is being obedient to His Word.
It is easy to waste our time on things that are temporal and material over eternal and spiritual. But when the Holy Spirit is given unhindered access to our hearts, He ignites a holy desire within us that enables us to place our time into God’s hands. And when our time is entrusted to God's hands, our lives begin to follow God's plans. "My times are in Your hands" (Psalm 31:15).
Saying "God's will be done" shouldn't be an excuse not to do God's will. You see, God cannot bless what we do not do, which means, He is not going to work out our situations for good until we have first resolved to work out our salvation for His glory. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13).
“I’m trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: (they say) ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher, he would either be a lunatic--on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg --or else he....
"I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (Philippians 4:11). To be content is to be satisfied by God's providence regardless of your circumstance. It's to know that as long as you have faith in Jesus Christ, you will always have everything you need in this life.
On Labor Day weekend, I’ll begin a new teaching series at Landmark Church titled “The Last Revelation: Countdown To The Kingdom.” For the past several months, I’ve been studying, praying, and seeking the Lord in preparation for what He desires to...
[Written from prison in 2012, but recently speaking about the upside-down-ness of the world got me thinking about this past blog and how it is only the love of God that can turn an upside down world right-side-up.] The Upside Down Kingdom of prison--where the hierarchy is an anarchy. It’s supposed to be under the law, but its decree is outlaw. Without law. The violent don’t even have to take it by force, it’s given by course. What was done outside the gates is what grants you access to the throne. Preceding acts of murder make one royalty and the lives taken are referred to as bodies. Crowns. The most ruthless citizens come into this Upside Down Kingdom by way of carnage and destruction; and by their...
I was a prisoner most of my young life. Confined to other's approval. In bondage to performance and accomplishment. And when I did not get the approval or perform according to accomplishment, the chains of 'doing' squeezed out the liberty of 'being.' And whether you do or don't, you're imprisoned by the....
I guess you can call me a mistake, or an accident, or at best a giant surprise-- because my parents didn’t plan on having me. And you might even call me slow or challenged because that’s what the doctor predicted I would probably be. Whatever you call it— I’m here! So herein lies the story: One hot summer day
[Sneak Peek of "When God Had My Back" (Coming Soon)] I was new to the prison yard, being in the building for only few months at this point, but I was no stranger to playing basketball with the brothers. I’m an athlete by nature and though it had been several years since I last won a high school basketball State Championship, I jumped right back into the...
