A Taste for More
Most of us admire people who commit their lives to a cause higher than themselves. There's a fearlessness, a singularity, a freedom to someone who's all in. They have nothing to lose. For, whatever they might have had to lose, was already freely and happily surrendered. Such men and women are dangerous.
The Bible considers . . .
Prayer that Propels
We stand in this moment
with Your children under our hands
looking to You for what to speak.
We declare the substance of Your words
Your promises, desires and purposes
over the sons and daughters You purchased.
Praying, we assume conferred authority
to speak in Your Name,
to pronounce for them . . .

Lessons Learning
“Boy, did I ever learn my lesson this year!”
That’s what I said to my wife some time ago while feeling the press of doing my taxes with April 15 looming. I had so many urgent business matters on my plate, too.

God Could, If He Wanted To
If God wanted to He could forgive everyone's sins.

and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases. Ps 103:2-3

Bazooka
When you come into the kingdom and are baptized with dunamis (Holy Spirit's Power) from on high you're essentially given a bazooka, a tank, and RPG launcher - a fearsome, devastating arsenal. The rest of the Bible guides us in the proper use of such amazing power. It explains how to develop appropriate character and discernment to use . . .
Hate Well
Let us hate with a furious, holy hatred that which opposes the anointing upon Jesus Christ - that power, goodness, and the absolute reality of his perfect love - toward us. Jesus took the whip, the beatings, the lashes of sin and sickness, of disease and torment. And then he shredded the whip.
And now the enemy runs around conjuring . . .
The Children's Bread
Did God, forgive all your sins? Why?
Because He loves you. Because you had a need and He had it waiting for you in His storehouse of treasures. You asked Him and He gave it fully - gave it lavishly - because He bought it and stored it for you, not from you.
Did He crown you with loving kindness and compassion? Are you His . . .
