Have you ever been convicted? This term has a legal sense but for this case consider the moral sense. Conviction of sin leads to repentance. What has been most effective in convicting you? The written word can do this, and believers commonly encounter forceful spoken messages from those with positions of authority in the church. But these are not the only alternatives. What about the unspoken and even unaware examples of those who act with an integrity that you do not yet possess? You have heard that actions speak louder than words.

Do you look to find the best in others? Does this sound like an approach that is both reasonable and loving? Yet it requires a high level of both maturity and security. Insecure and immature people tend to look for the worst in others. This provides a basis for exclusion and superiority. I spoke of those who sought to justify themselves and it never led to a positive outcome. If you are a child of grace and secure in that position, then you don’t need to establish yourself on the shortcomings of others. This is easier said than done.

LaWanda – O precious Jesus, my Lord and my God!  I praise you, Lord.  Will you inhabit my praises, Lord? Your Word says that you do.   My heart cries out for you to come, Lord Jesus.  I exalt you, Lord, precious Savior, Mighty King.  I praise you, Lord, and I thank you that you are near to me even in this moment.  I thank you for your lovingkindness, continually poured out on me.  I need nothing else, Lord.  You and you alone.

Religions offer a theology about a God out there, whom we can have NO ongoing contact with. Christianity says we have Jesus, Who has risen from the dead, and we live in daily, dynamic relationship with Him personally.

In this interview, April shares how God progressively healed the sorrow, pain and guilt she felt for years over the death of her child.

April attended our Prophetic Healing Protocols seminar and reads the revelation and perspective she received from the Lord over these five journaling times, as He lifted her higher and higher and finally brought full release to her heart.

She goes on to share what happened the next Sunday morning as she gave this testimony to her congregation.

Do you have a high-status job? This is a real concept whether it is discussed openly or not, and everyone knows where they fit in the hierarchy. Those who serve are considered to be of lower status than those who are served, but even within the realm of servants those who serve higher status people outrank those who serve lower status people, because they ‘tag along’ on the status of those they serve. You may recall that I addressed this matter of serving and turned the whole order upside down. By conventional logic those who serve the least of these would be at the bottom of the order.

Below is a copy of an email I received this last week. The question was, is there a biblical basis for such things as prophetic soap and anointing oil?

We are to live and walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:25). Jesus models this lifestyle for us. Let's see how He does it!

Have you noticed that fathers have an image problem today? In popular culture they are portrayed as hapless and stupid. The most extreme insult that can be expressed today involves the accusation of patriarchy. How do you portray me? I am transcendent and ineffable, so I do not lend myself to exact parallels. So when I wanted to reveal myself to humanity I could have chosen any magnificent and powerful metaphor I wanted. I could have said that I was like an oak tree, or giant redwood, or an elephant, or a whale, or a mountain. But what did I in fact select from all things?
