The Perfect Plummet Stone

Image
'Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,   a firm and tested stone. It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on. Whoever believes need never be shaken. I will test you with the measuring line of justice   and the plumb line of righteousness. Since your refuge is made of lies,   a hailstorm will knock it down. Since it is made of deception,   a flood will sweep it away.' Isaiah 28:16-17 (NLT) 'But God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil.” ' Timothy 2:19 (NLT) When in times of need, it never hurts to look to Christ for the answer. He promised to provide for all that we need. Why not look to Him? He was sent to die for all mankind and to be the foundation stone chosen by God for the Church and the cornerstone in which His Church was build upon. He was and is r...

Sailing Safely Through the Storms

Image
' One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and told them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they set out.   As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A powerful windstorm came down on the lake, the boat was filling up with water, and they were in danger.   They went to him and woke him, saying, “Master, master, we’re going to die!” He woke up, rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they stopped. Then it was calm.   He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were afraid and amazed and said to one another, “Who, then, is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”' Luke 8:22-25 (EHV) He comforts me through the trials of life that most certainly will come. I can rest during the storms because I know that He loves me. He is my strength and my shield. Jesus even has control over the wind. As long as He is with me, I can launch my boat out into new mission fields knowing that no matter what happens bet...

The Godly Craftsman

Image
'Eternal One: Look, I have a special calling upon one of the sons of Judah. His name is Bezalel (the son of Uri, son of Hur).  I have filled him with God’s Spirit, gifted him with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skills with a variety of crafts.  He is an expert designer and works well with gold, silver, and bronze  He is able to cut and set gems, work with wood, and skillfully perform any craft needed to help construct the congregation tent and its furnishings .  I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan to assist Bezalel . I have gifted all of Israel’s artisans with the skills needed to build everything I have instructed you' Exodus 31:1-6 (VOICE) They were trained in Egypt to be masons and brick layers until God called them curiously enough to become craftsmen and designers. Wow! What a stretch. From a slave mentality group think nation to a completely independent and sovereign group of problem solving architects, being made...

Removing the Veil

Image
'And now we are brothers and sisters in God’s family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come right into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly and with no hesitation. For he has dedicated a new, life-giving way for us to approach God. For just as the veil was torn in two, Jesus’ body was torn open to give us free and fresh access to him!   And since we now have a magnificent King-Priest to welcome us into God’s house, we come closer to God and approach him with an open heart, fully convinced by faith that nothing will keep us at a distance from him. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity and we have been freed from an accusing conscience and now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!' Hebrews 10:19-22 (TPT) I am so thankful for what Jesus did for me! He died and because of His death the temple veil was ripped from top to bottom! No more animal sin sacrifice. Jesus is the new li...

They Came. They Heard. They Responded

Image
'When they heard this they were crushed and realized what they had done to Jesus. Deeply moved, they said to Peter and the other apostles, “What do we need to do, brothers?”   Peter replied, “Repent and return to God, and each one of you must be baptized in the name of Jesus, the Anointed One, to have your sins removed. Then you may take hold of the gift of th e Holy Spirit. For God’s promise of the Holy Spirit is for you and your families, for those yet to be born and for everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” Peter preached to them and warned them with these words: “Be rescued from the wayward and perverse culture of this world!” Those who believed the word that day numbered three thousand. They were all baptized and added to the church.' Acts 2:37-41 (TPT) They came to find out what all that noise was about. They heard the message preached in their own language. They responded to it and were deeply moved to ask 'what do we need to do?'...

The Happy Life

Image
' Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.   After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.' 1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NLT) But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.' 1 Timothy 6:11 (NLT) For you, men or women of God, don't make the mistake that many do, don't reach for worldly riches, but rather, seek instead riches in the eternal things of true value; righteousness, godliness, faith etc. Pursue the happy life. To me, godliness is the great wealth and contentment that I seek. And to be content is to have all that I need. To pursue righteousness is to give me purpose and to fulfill my desires for more and brings with it so much increase. To continue to gain. To be constantly thriving.   Possessing the riches of Grace.  Self-sufficiency. No temptation to...

Your Prophetic Sons and Daughters

Image
'Then in those days I will pour My Spirit to all humanity; your children will boldly and prophetically speak the word of God. Your elders will dream dreams; your young warriors will see visions. No one will be left out. In those days I will offer My spirit to all servants, both male and female. In the heaven above and on the earth below, I will give signs of My intervention: blood, fire, and clouds of smoke. The sun will become a void of darkness, and the moon will become blood just before the great and dreadful day of the Eternal One arrives. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Eternal One will be liberated. Mount Zion and Jerusalem will shelter those who survive exile, Just as the Eternal says, “Among those who survived, He will call them.” Joel 2:28-31 (VOICE) ‘This is what I will do in the last days—I will pour out my Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old m...
