Words and Seeds

It’s God’s nature to bless and it’s His purpose for blessings to flow. It never has been and never will be God’s intention for His blessings to end with us, rather for them to flow to others as part of His greater plan for the whole world. So when you receive a blessing or you ask for a particular blessing, do you have the whole picture or perhaps the bigger picture in mind? He does. Though while He personally works in our lives, much more is going on behind the scenes that we are unaware of many times. It is like the song, “He’s Got The Whole World in His Hand,” but in this case, it fits to say, “He’s Got The Whole World in His Mind.” Read more »

When God speaks, ALL things happen! In Psalm 62:11, it begins, “God has spoken once; twice have I heard this…” When God speaks, whether once, ONE Word of His is more to be trusted, confided and depended on than all men and things in this world. God hasn’t only spoken to us once, He has spoken His Word often and continues to speak to us over and over again. Are we listening? Are we really hearing Him? God speaks in ALL His Glory, in ALL His Power, in ALL His Might, in ALL His Perfection, in All His Fullness, and in ALL His Love! “ALL” is every bit of Him, Completely, Entirely, The Sum of, Totally, Perfect, Whole, and it goes on and on…..

Many people who hear about Jesus for the first time, or perhaps hear of a miracle for the first time, may need time before they can comprehend this amazing story. Like Mary and the disciples, at the empty tomb, they too may have passed through common stages of weak belief. First they may have thought it to be a fabrication; something made up or impossible to believe (see John 20:2- where a very large and heavy stone had been rolled away, unsealing the Jesus’ tomb). Second, like Peter, they may have checked out the facts, but still puzzled about what had happened (see John 20:6). And only when they ENCOUNTERED JESUS PERSONALLY they were able to accept the fact of the resurrection: The Truth (see John 20:16). Read more »

Through the Grace of God we stay connected to Jesus our Savior. He wants to express His life through us and be our respirator. We can’t breathe spiritually without Him. His Grace is the very oxygen in our lungs that makes the spiritual life possible in our world. In general, a respirator is a device designed to protect the wearer form inhaling harmful dusts, fumes, vapors, or gases. Read more »
