"I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth." (Ecclesiastes 10:7) The world is upside down, and therefore, the first are last and the last first. We are seeing this reality manifested in every corridor of our globe. When the wheel turns(and someday it absolutely will!), those who are lowest rise and the highest sink. Patience, then, believer, eternity will rig...

"Pray without ceasing"-1 Thessalonians 5:17. Prayer is the conduit of soul relief from Heaven. To abandon prayer is spiritual treason that opens the flood gates of Satanic attack and sin.

In Psalm 22, one of the key passages that speaks of the Suffering Servant, isays in verse 14, “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me.” Friend, if you are looking for relief from the pressures of this crazy life and world, come near to the cross of Jesus today, and unpretentiously worship Jesus Christ, the King of glory as having once b...

“Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” (Ecclesiastes 8:11) God is on the throne of Heaven and nothing can thwart His providential care and plan from being advanced on the globe and in the universe. BUT, an individual can de-throne God in their lives by refusing to submit to His power and authority. The end res...

Hebrews 1:16 "But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city." Faith has the telescopic power to see past the difficulties of this world, the dimming dust of the world stirred up by Satan, and the damaging distractions of our internal lusts and waywardness, to see through to Christ, to t...

Mark Heimermann had it all as Grammy award winning producer and song writer. He started from scratch in the music industry of Nashville, Tennessee, when he took a job working in the advertising jingle industry on famous Music Row, just to pay of his support as a horn player in the Lipscomb University. Things began to happen for Mark VERY rapidly to say the least. He has a very compelling story of...

The REAL Great Reset has already happened the day Jesus began his public ministry, and we will realize its ultimate fulfillment when He comes again in power and glory. In this in-between time we can realize the Year of Jubilee blessings of God if we will only turn back to him and honor him with our lives and our national respect. Google the phrase “China and Russia at work on dismantling the Ameri...

"For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless towards him". 2 Chronicles 16:9 Many key conservative Christian leaders are all speaking out to the danger zone that the United States of America has entered. Its survival as a nation is in the balance. But, as scary as it looks right now, always remember my friend- GOD IS...

“But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.” (Genesis 6:8) For one hundred and twenty years Noah methodically and systematically carried out the commandment of the Lord to build an ark- which in the Hebrew means a chest or a casket...specifically in this story it was a giant wooden box. At the proper time, Noah's entombment in this floating box would be his salvation in the midst of the promis...

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4) May we learn to put our mind where our mouth is in our expression to God in devoted prayer.

Well, here we stand as caring people who don’t want to hide our heads in the sand regarding this time of massive history-making outpouring of evil, nor ignore the undercurrent many of us sense that we really may be living in the very end of days, yet faced with a real need to have a reason to continue to live our everyday lives with gusto! By means of a simple prayer, this episode offers a go...

Hope built upon outward probability is carnal hope. Faith carried out to things not seen is a faith to live by. Do we have faith that can believe things unseen? Faith to live by believes in, prays to, loves and enjoys, the unseen Jesus. Living faith lives with the judgement to come in clear sight and lives an awakened life of serious reflection and expectation. Buy Voices From The Past volume 2 Al...

Why do people dance? Dancing is an activity that serves a variety of purposes for different people. Dancing was a part of the Hebrew Culture in the Old Testament.

My Friend, we need to move counter intuitive to the grief and sadness that gr...
