As the blast of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God thundered his reply. The LORD came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain. Exodus 19:19-20 (NLT)

I have a new car and it has many new items my previous car did not have. I’ve had this car but ten days and I am still learning “where” things of operation and how to make simple adjustments such as setting the mirror, where cruise control is or is not located. This morning I could not get the radio turned on. I pushed all the buttons I had seemed to previously use and yet I got no response. So I drove to work in the morning silence. After work I got in the car, pressed the buttons to play the radio or adjust the stations, and like earlier that day, I got no response. So I drove on, and fiddled again with the audio panel trying to get any response, other than, "there is no cd to eject". Then I thought, what about the audio controls on the steering wheel, which are to allow me to work "hands free".  I told it, "Let me play the radio", and I received a verbal response, "I can't do this. Turn the radio on". "What??" I heard myself thin...

“Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”   Zechariah 4:10 (NIV)

Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe. Proverbs 28:26 (NLT)

Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people, who will remain, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the banished ones of Israel,  and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.  Isaiah 11:1-12

“He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began,”    2 Timothy 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;  do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 (NIV) To those of my church, my called one: It is time for you to rise up. Step up and receive a fresh anointing. Strengthen yourself by spending time with me. It is time for you to take action. Arise from where you now lie. I have called you to lead. It is no accident, so stop complaining and denying what I wish to do. Take courage. Be strong and courageous. Listen for me to give direction. I have anointed you with my Spirit, so arise from the ashes of depression. Step out of the complacency and into my army. I have clothed you in the fabric of my being; imparted you with  unique gifts and methods.  I am calling you, my leaders, to be ready; to be covered in my Spirit, to lead others where I direct you. Step up now and receive what I have for you through my Spirit. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. ...

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you;  he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

No one calls for justice;     no one pleads a case with integrity. They rely on empty arguments, they utter lies;     they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.   They hatch the eggs of vipers     and spin a spider’s web. Whoever eats their eggs will die,     and when one is broken, an adder is hatched. Isaiah 59:4-5 (NIV) Each day for the past week or so I’ve come across a spider. Most often I am as surprised to see it as it seems to be of me. I’ve come across several in rooms of my home during the evening, such as the kitchen, where our meals are prepared or in the bathroom. Each time they have come to a quick death. Spiders can be likened to demonic spirits or symbols of lies, or webs of deceit.  Each time you come across one of these “things”, you have a job. In this season of natural and spiritual change season of change you will come across an abundance of these spiritual creatures. You do not need react i...

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions at war within you?  You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.  You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.  You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?  Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.  Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that He has made dwell in us.  James 4:1-5 (ESV)
