Even if we feel we have not personally been part of the problem, since we are the light of the world and the ones called to bring reconciliation, we are to get involved to help heal brokenness wherever we find it.

I just finished reading Joshua Mills' upcoming book, Power Portals and I found it very inspirational and helpful. We all have noted that certain people have anointings in their lives for specific tasks. These include healing the sick, creating wealth, evangelizing with power and authority, releasing divine creativity and healing a specific illness, to name a few. Each of these is the manifestation and release of a specific anointing of the Holy Spirit.

It seems to me that we need to listen to various people share their hearts and personal experiences so we can have a deeper appreciation of the issues surrounding us. How can a person respond unless he has first heard? And I think it is wise to hear perspectives from several people so I can come to a more complete and balanced understanding.

“Lord, what do You want to speak to me concerning law and grace?”

My friend, law or instructions are the things that set the boundaries for our relationship. That’s all. So many people worship My instructions and neglect Me. They are proud of their ability to memorize a list of things to do or not to do… and they even take on a new language as if because they have tuned their tongue to speak Hebrew that that is a milestone for them.

 July 7, 2020 – Two-Way Journaling from Tom P.

I have never had a conversation with a black police officer about any sort of racial issue. I have never even talked with a black man about racial issues. For some reason this is just an uncomfortable subject. I remember a seminar I did 35 years ago at Bishop Joseph Garlington’s church. I made a complimentary comment to my black audience saying, “You guys are better than whites in this area" (I forget now exactly what the area was). Bishop Garlington interrupted the seminar and asked me two or three times what I meant by “you guys.” And I was afraid to provide a more specific answer because I didn’t know if I should call them Black or Negros or African Americans, and I assumed that if I chose the wrong phrase it would be offensive to them. So yes, I have never had a conversation with a black man about racial issues. This is about to change!

Ruth Wilson writes: I have a testimony I would like to share with you.  I have learned so much from your book Unleashing Healing Power through Spirit-Born Emotions.  Here is another amazing experience that happened.

We live near a huge bridge that is critical for every day getting to and from work, beach, etc.  Last fall they began construction and closed down one of the lanes on the busiest weekend.  It was a Friday evening and took over 7 hours to go what normally takes 1.5 hours (with traffic).
