My personal experiences with prophecy and the prophetic gift I do not consider myself a prophet, nor am I close to being as prophetically gifted as other “non-prophets” who also possess prophetic gifts. When I am not being lazy (and I am often lazy), I lean into these gifts and with my faith prophesy inContinue reading “Hearing God Speak Part 9a: God speaks through prophecy”

Hearing God Speak Part 7 – Interpreting Dreams and Visions
Interpreting Your Dreams and Vision God-given prophetic dreams and visions are more common among Believers than many of us believe. According to Acts 2:17, they are the inheritance of the saints. Yet, many of us have not been taught what to do with them or even how to know they are from God. The threeContinue reading “Hearing God Speak Part 7 – Interpreting Dreams and Visions”
Jugs, Jars, and Baskets.
Three mini-lessons for individual or group study 2 On the third day, a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman,Continue reading “Jugs, Jars, and Baskets.”
Putting Doubt to Bed
I was at a group during a devotional time last year and the leader read the off-told bible passage about the disciples in a boat during a storm. Waves crashed about while Jesus slept through it all. But this time, when one part of that story was read, I distinctly felt in my heart thatContinue reading “Putting Doubt to Bed”
Chasing after Rainbows
Chasing after rainbows is an expression that usually means trying to get something that you will never obtain. But I literally chase after rainbows, searching rain-streaked skies for signs of refracted light after a storm. Upon my last rainbow sighting two days ago, I texted a rainbow-loving friend “Rainbow over Elmont, due East!” It turns out thatContinue reading “Chasing after Rainbows”
Loving While Blind – Part 3 – Salve for our eyes
I remember once listening to the radio testimony of a murderer who had come to Christ. It felt so good; I had all this compassion for this unknown brother in the Lord and didn’t let the horror of his past life offend me. Then the Lord immediately brought to my mind a person for whomContinue reading “Loving While Blind – Part 3 – Salve for our eyes”
Loving while blind – part 2 – Do Miracles Build Our faith?
Lots of things mystify me as I get deeper and deeper into this theme of “Loving while blind” – of having a faith that not only stays intact even when we can’t see the outcome of things but that actually grows and matures through those dark nights. I’m always trying to look for the formulasContinue reading “Loving while blind – part 2 – Do Miracles Build Our faith?”
The Day the Manna Stopped
For 40 years of wilderness wandering God provided a miraculous supply of heavenly bread, the Israelite’s clothing and shoes magically never wore out; they probably grew right along with their bodies. Water came from a rock, quail fell from the sky… Then they got to where they were going and it all stopped. I don’t know whyContinue reading “The Day the Manna Stopped”
Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Book? (of Revelation) Part 2
My prior post invites us to reconsider the aversion so many Believers have to the words written in this scroll of the disciple John. Preachers, bible teachers, and followers of Jesus alike often share a common allergy to the judgments, tribulations, and apostasy that this book foretells. I’m not too crazy about some of it,Continue reading “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Book? (of Revelation) Part 2”
