Will He find faith on the earth?
John 14:1 (NASB)
1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
Isaiah 26:3 (NASB)

Grace & Truth Part 2
John 1:17 (NASB) — the Apostle John is speaking about Jesus
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
The old and new covenants are being contrasted here by the Apostle John.
John 4:23-24 (NASB) — Jesus is speaking here to a Samaritin woman about what is to come, and has already come.
23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worshi...
John 1:17 (NASB)
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.
The law given by Moses is not the same as the truth that came through Jesus. Moses came with the Old Covenant—the law, but Jesus came with the New Covenant—grace and truth. These two covenants are being contrasted here by the Apostle John. This is because Jesus also contrasted them in his parables and many teachings.
The Law i...
Abundance of Grace
Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. “Throne of grace” to obtain. Mercy, and find grace.

What’s Next... in the times we are in?
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV)
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man,
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
It’s time for us to stop looking at the darkness so much, and now to look to the goodness of God. It’s time for us to start understanding the Gospel that we have already been given, which ...
So… what exactly is the Gospel?
If I were to ask a thousand believers, “What exactly is the Gospel?” many of them would hesitate, and smile with some slight embarrassment, and ask the question right back saying, “I’m not sure, what exactly is the Gospel?”
Resurrection Day

Psalms 46:9-11 (NASB)

For Independence Day 2023
The Star Spangled Banner
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the Rockets' red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Fl...
God has a redemptive plan and is moving in the earth today.
Many people are feeling "justice sick" - meaning they see evil being done on large scale, but they see little or no justice concerning that evil. But God has a redemptive plan and I believe God is moving in the earth is such a powerful way that people will be healed from the lack of justice and there will be dancing and joy in the streets.

We Have Escaped
Praise for Rescue from Enemies - Psalm 124 NASB
1 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have swept over our soul; (Lit: passed over)
5 Then the raging w...
The days ahead - a prophetic word part 2
This is for the least to the greatest of us - based on the promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34:
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they ...
A Prophecy - September 2022
This was given to me on Sept. 8th in the morning. It's about prioritizing God's Word in our lives. It is directed to ministries of different kinds, but I believe it will bless every believer who hears it.

The Art of Listening
This episode is all about how we listen to God's word and bear fruit.
Mark 4:10 & 13 (NKJV)
10. But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
13. And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
Mark 4:24-25 (NKJV)
24. Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measur...
The True Message of the Gospel
This episode is about the essence of the gospel message that Paul taught in his letter to the Romans, and in almost all of his letters. This very gospel message was given to Paul by Jesus. As we meet and listen to the many beautiful people that we know love Jesus, we also see a need and a hunger to have this message of the gospel made even more clear. This gospel is the centerpiece of our ...
Let your words be few
Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (NASB)
1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
2 Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
3 For the dream comes through much effort and the...

Isaiah 41:8-16 (NLT)
8 “But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from Abraham my friend,
9 I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, ‘You are my servant.’ For I have chosen you and will not throw you away.
10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God....
Loving God
John 14:15 (NASB)
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
John 14:15 (AMP)
15 If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV)
We love Him because He first loved us.
