In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider that God has made the one side by side with the other, so that man may not find out anything that shall be after him.

Jeremiah 31:31-32 (NAS), "Behold, days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the Lord. I wonder how many times I limit the Lord’s power to act by my weak vision. Do I see what He can do or is it in relation to what I think He can do? It seems Moses had a similar situation. Numbers 11:23 (NAS), And the Lord said to Moses, "Is the Lord's power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will come true for you or not." Do I believe? It seemed Moses got the right answer. Because in Numbers 14:17 (NAS) he says, "But now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as Thou hast declared”. Let the power of God be as great as God declares, not as we declare. His power ...

As some of you may remember, I recently wrote about the three 1975 coins I found in quick secession. As I was recently driving to an out of state church to minister, I asked the Father if I were to share about those three 75’s. During that time I had listened to some teaching cd’s and a worship cd, but now had the radio turned to talk radio. It was a public radio station. The guest began talking about earthquakes, particularly the under sea centered ones in recent weeks on the coast of California. He was explaining them to be off shore and deep, but that more were “soon” expected. It was when he said that there were four quakes of significant magnitude, a 7 and a 5 and another 7 and 5. That was two sets of 75. It truly caught my attention about the potential for underwater disaster affecting California. I asked God, if the three 75 he had spoken to me were related, and that another set of earthquakes should be expected. As I sought confirmation about this, work-truck passed by me on th...

I was recently driving in my car. As I was turning the corner by a gas station I heard God ask me a question, “What do you see?” I thought for a moment and responded, “I see the price of gasoline is rising again.” I heard the father respond to me, In me there is stability I am that firm foundation you seek. I am immutable; unchanging. My value does not fluctuate like a futures market. I am the light that does not grow dim. My oil is inexhaustible. Draw your strength from me Else you perish in self-doubt. Fill your ways with my oil. Do not allow the flame before my altar be extinguished. I am the cloud by day. I am the fire by night. Be filled with my precious oil. Allow me to burn within you. Move closer to me. Search my eyes of fire. Be filled with the revelation of my love that burns for my creation. Partner withme. Be the commodity of my precious oil. And Jacob set up a pillar (monument) in the place where he talked with [God], a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it...

You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you. John 15:17 (AMP) I have chosen you. I have chosen you to move out into the world; to bring forth change. Love the unlovely for I have too chosen them to walk with me. Chose my ways and stop judging them by standards I don't use. I have chosen you that you might have life; abide in my ways. Do not grow tired or discouraged. You are my creation. I have chosen you. I have chosen you to be continually filled with my Spirit. I have chosen you to be my light. Without you there are those who will not know of my son. You ask for a detailed map. I have shown you my pathway. Continue to follow what I reveal. It is through your unique character and abilities that my ways touch those aro...

I am the revealing God. Step into my light. I am unchanging. I have created you in my image. Allow me to reveal my holiness in you. Let my ways penetrate your life. I am here now. Listen with your spirit. I am revealing my love. Let me touch you at the point of your weaknesses. Allow me to reveal healing and wholeness into the corners of your confusion. Be translucent with me. You will be cleaned In my presence. I bring no harm, but Reveal the strongholds, those ways to which you are blinded. Allow the blood of my son to reveal my plans for you.

Samuel is a rich prophetic model for the changing times from which we can gain insight. Despite what the “obvious” presents Samuel had a rich family lineage. Even in his given name he was blessed, as Samuel means “asked of God”. The lineage from 1 Samuel 1:1 lists the five generations leading up to the his birth. 5 is the number of grace & atonement. Like Samuel, we have a rich heritage. There was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Elkanah (God has obtained) the son of Jeroham, (compassionate) son of Elihu, (strength) son of Tohu, (humility) son of Zuph, an Ephrathite (dripping with honey) We are of the Family of God. We are sons of God, just as Jesus. We have the attributes of our Father, just as Jesus does. Samuel was born from the tribe of Ephraim, meaning fruitfulness. In Deuteronomy 33:17 Ephraim received the right hand of his grandfather’s blessing over his older brother. Matthew 1:17 tells us there were 14 generations Abraham --...

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 (NIV) The past several days I’ve asked God about giving a word. I asked about a word for this publication, a word for Sunday service and for an upcoming conference. Each time I’ve asked, He’s given me the same answer, “Tell them I love them.” You have the freedom to worship me: To be released into my love, the liberty to proclaim wholeness. You are set free …free from the past and free from the future. You have the freedom to walk with me, and freedom from what grips you. You have freedom to sit with me, as friends sit together talking with one another. Tell them I love them. My love casts out all fear. You can not disappoint me; you are complete in my son. He has set you free Be captive to me. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)

So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Genesis 12:4 (NASB) I have recently been distracted with the busyness that comes from moving. While it was but a short move, it was none-the-less a hectic time. I was glad one day when I had found a penny on a walk. I pondered the significance the date. The next evening I again was on a short walk. As I looked down I saw another penny. I picked it up and examined the date, 1975. It was the same year as the evening before. In my life 1975 was a busy time with graduation changes and geographic moves, ending in Bennington Vermont. As I mulled over the odds of finding two pennies as I had, I asked God if He wanted to speak to me. Immediately I saw another penny, this one shining in the road. This penny seemed pretty new. I was very surprised when I saw that it too had the date of 1975. God is speaking to His people, sometimes in ways that seem superf...

But the land which you enter to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the heavens, A land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:11-12 (AMP) I am the God of love and provision. This is the time to move forth. This is the very day that I release you. Put aside your ways and thoughts. Ask me. Will I not answer you and grant direction? Feed the hungry. Feed my sheep. Bless the fatherless and widows with what I have already given you. I have created a need within you. You will not be satisfied or fulfilled until you begin to walk in the ways of my Spirit. Take up my ways. Learn to walk in my power. Move into the things I have placed within you. Allow me to love you, so that you may learn to love those others. I came for my whole creation. It is time to trust me. I am love. In me comes forth truth and life.
