Perceptual Pneuma Ministries

This week during bible study, we discussed how crucial endurance plays in our lives. Without endurance, we can't hope to push forward, overcome  hardships, interact with one another properly, or do anything really. Endurance or stamina, is the culmination of God's love working through us and anchoring us to Himself. With the Lord's love residing in us, we are able to persevere through the wor...

This week during bible study, we discussed the the key role patience plays in our lives. Patience isn't just an attribute that allows us to remain calm when frustration wants to rear its head. It isn't just a virtue that the Lord instills in us allowing to persevere. Patience is the key to removing doubt from our lives. As the bible says in the book of James, "knowing that the testing of your fait...

This marks one year of service... one year of breakthroughs... one year of getting closer to the Lord... It has been one miraculous year through all of the ups and downs. God is so very good and this week in bible study, we reflected on some of everything. How long have you been walking with the Lord? How much has He brought you through? How much have you trusted in Him? The past year gives us all...

This week during bible study, we discussed various important factors in managing and maintaining our time. One of the most important aspects of time is the use of our allotment. Are we wasting it chasing fleeting things? On the endless grind of chasing the bag or emotional pleasure? Or the age-old trick of self-gratification through worldly outlets? Regardless of what we used to do, The Lord wants...

This week during bible study, we discussed the aspect of solitude in our lives. Solitary can be a good tool when used properly. However, on the  other end of the spectrum, it can be pretty scary when we imagine a life devoid of people or things that makes us feel "whole". In typical gospel  myth busting fashion, we delve into the truth behind this illusion of loneliness. With Christ, you...

This week during bible study, we discussed the literal pain we experience when it is time for us to grow. Growing hurts and it is not always the most exciting process. However, the tiny pain we experience leads to some exponential growth. No matter how gargantuan the current experience may feel, I promise you that with Jesus' help you can make it through to the other side. We also covered six majo...

This week during bible study, we discussed the possibilities that The Lord provides through relationship. On our own, we have no paths to take, no resources, or anything whatsoever in our behalf. With Jesus however, the potential is endless. The tethers of sin, of doubt, depression, the past, shame and everything that is against no longer matter. The Lord turns the impossible into possible through...

This week during bible study, we discussed the age old topic of confidence. In life, we are faced with so many decisions that require us to meet a confidence standard in order for certain outcomes to be obtained. This can be truly taxing as we may feel as if we aren't good enough, have the skill-set necessary, or like we do not qualify. Plot twist, inside of Christ there is no confidence requireme...

This week during bible study, we discussed the purpose of God's grace and the beauty it brings to us. We know His grace is sufficient for us. This means that regardless of how hard things get, how bad it may seem, or if the terrain looks too ruff; God's grace ensures that we are covered through the storm. He is the lover of our souls and the captain of our seas. This means that mercy is also sure...

This week during bible study, we took a step back to our lesson about Abiding in Wisdom. In doing see, we ventured forward to allowing the  Lord's wisdom to lead us and guide us. When we allow God access to our lives, we give Him the prime opportunity to make the impossible  possible. This is evident at its best when we have no idea what to do next or how to handle a situation. When your guide is...

This week during bible study, we discussed the immaculate power that God breathes into us... life. Without Jesus, there is no life, just ceaseless death awaiting more. However, since The Lord is so prodigious, there is a second wind awaiting you to spread wings and soar across the breeze. The whole purpose of pneuma (the breath of life) is so that we not only obtain true life, but to experience th...

This week during bible study, we discussed the importance of resting. For far to long we have lived under the notion that rest needs to be earned by working ourselves to death. The truth in Christ is that we work, live, and operate from His rest. It's the Lord's rest that continually fuels us, renews us, strengthens us, empowers us, and allows us to keep moving forward. His rest isn't just the pro...

This week during bible study, we discussed what love for the Lord should look like. We have discussed in multiple ways how much Jesus loves us and the plethora of ways this love is expressed. The question now is how much do we love Him? Do we love Him enough to dare to grow? To put our trust in His plan? To overcome hardships via His methods? Do we love the Lord enough to love ourselves so we can...

This week during bible study, we discussed the true mark of a born again believer in Christ, the change. No one who has ever had an encounter  with Jesus walked away the same. You were either broken because the truth stung, so now you want the better that Jesus offers. Or you were  shown that you have no desire to improve and continue to believe the lie that you can do it on your own. The Lord wan...

This week during bible study, we discussed the choice that we are all presented with. Will we continue to allow things, people, places, events, work, etc... to make us happy? Or will we receive and experience the unparalleled joy that only Jesus can provide us? As fun or interesting as some things in life may be, everything is fleeting. Nothing here can keep us happy, but The Lord's unfathomable l...

This week during bible study, we celebrated the ultimate promise the Lord God has made humanity... a savior. Not just any old savior however,  but the only one that can save us from sin and eternal death. Jesus isn't just the promise fulfilled, He is the everlasting God, the Ancient of Days, the reason for the seasons, our literal everything. Easter every year isn't about a bunny or candy, but com...

This week during bible study, we discussed the resolve and ambition (so to say) that it takes to continue down this Christ led path. When you  regale upon the past, what exactly do you see? Do you see how far The Lord has brought you since your relationship with Him began? Are you  seeing the world's influence in your life and its' continued hooks in your side? Continuity in Christ is all about ho...

This week during bible study, we discussed how terrible doubt can be for your life in general. It is one our greatest weapons of self sabotage we posses. As per usual however, we realize that the Lord has a plan and method for every issue that we face because He is the answer we seek.  Jesus walked every single mile in our shoes and then some. He overcame it all for our sake's so that we could be...

This week during bible study, we discussed strategies and tips on how to properly study the bible. We discuss so many different topics and  themes about how magnificent the Lord is not only to us, but in the grander scheme of things. This week, we took a very close look at different things we can do to further our understanding of the word of God. What we do with the word is vital to our growth, h...

This week during bible study, we discussed the ploys of temptation and how it may seem like a losing battle to the untrained eye. We are  guaranteed by the Lord Jesus himself that there is no temptation that can overtake us. Feeling flustered by desires, pressure, or any other life given circumstance isn't strong enough to overpower what Jesus has done on the cross and is doing in our lives. He ov...

Due to Winter Storm Uri and blackouts across the state of Texas, we did not have bible study last week. Please keep one another in prayer as well as our country. This week during bible study, we discussed who The Lord is to us and the various roles that He fills. Not only is Jesus the Lord of Lords, but He is so much more on a personal level. He is our Father, our confidence, our hope, our future,...

This week during bible study, we discussed spiritual security and how it covers us in every area of our lives. When we don't know what to expect, we tend to become fearful and allow our hearts and minds to trick us. The beautiful thing about our relationship with Jesus is the fact that we know He holds everything within His capable hands. Whether we know what will happen next or not doesn't matter...

This week during bible study, we discussed how important it is to realize "who" or "what" has top priority in your life. There are to many occasions in our lives where we become oblivious to what reigns in our life due to complacency. It is extremely dangerous to let anything overshadow the Lord's place as the head of our lives. If you aren't already saved, this is your everyday life and it's like...

This week during bible study, we had our second prayer meeting of the ministry. Prayer is an integral part of our relationship with the Lord. It is our way to commune with our Heavenly Father, it is a way to empower others, receive healing for whatever we need, and so much more. Ask for whatever it is that you need in Jesus' name by faith and you'll receive it. If you are reading this description,...

This week during bible study, we discussed The Lord's all encompassing love and how it directly affects us and the world around us. Jesus didn't die on the cross for a select few people, He did it for every single person ever. It doesn't matter where you come from, what you did in the past, your current/past beliefs or anything of the matter; He loves and cares about you. The family of faith is al...
