Jesus is Coming Again
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life. He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:17, 20 NLT) The book of Revelation was never intended to be viewed as a mystical book of hidden codes only interpreted through complex charts and secret decoder rings. As is the case in most books of the New Testament,… Read More
A Journey Toward Freedom
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31, 32 NLT) Jesus spoke to different people in different ways. He spoke gently to the woman caught in adultery (although never condoning her sin), but He spoke harshly to those whose pride caused them to condemn her. In the midst of that exchange, Jesus made this statement: “If you desire to fully follow Me, you must… Read More
The Stairway Between Heaven and Earth
… the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth. ” (John 1:51 NLT) In a brief conversation He had with Nathaniel, Jesus made this subtle, yet profound, statement.

The New King James Version says it like this: And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” (John 1:51 NKJV) Since every word, and the order… Read More
My Soul’s Anchor
…it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. (Hebrews 6:18-19 NLT) God cannot lie. He is truth. Therefore, every promise that He has made concerning my life comes with absolute certainty. My boldness is not based on my worthiness of His promises, but on His faithfulness to do what He said He would do. It is THAT hope –… Read More
Experiencing Victory Amidst Daily Conflict
With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes. (Psalms 60:12 NLT) Earth is the battleground of the conflict of the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God. From the time Lucifer was cast out of heaven (to earth) for rebellion and pride, earth became “without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the earth (Genesis 1:2).” God created Man to take authority and have dominion over the earth and satan’s cohort. However, in like fashion as Lucifer, we (Man) chose to pridefully… Read More
