RE-LEARNING PRAYER
I’m learning much about prayer and intercession. And what I’m learning is really a re-learning. These are principles and concepts things that I’ve been taught but in all honesty I haven’t really “caught.” We pastors are a “strange breed.” Our calling and our duty is to teach and train even thought we really haven’t fully…

“When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before… (Joshua 3:3-4) I feel like I…
Read MoreSLAYING THE SACRED COW
Preacher and author, R.T. Kendall, in his book The Anointing, said, “The greatest opposition to what God is doing today comes from those who were on the cutting edge of what God was doing yesterday. In the last three months, my heart and mind has been on an unending quest for direction and for the…
Read MoreTHE PROCESS OF PURITY
I’ve been giving much thought to the refiners fire exemplified throughout scripture. God uses it quite often in the process of preparing us so He can do great things among us. The fact is that He won’t do any great thing among us unless we live lives of purity. God told Joshua, “Purify yourselves for…
Read MoreFACING YOUR FEARS
When I was a child we had a garage apart from our home where my father used to do bodywork on vehicles as a supplemental income for our family. And for a family that total to 9 people, the income came in quite handy! As a child, that garage became the center point of many…
Read MoreRED SEA MOMENTS
I think all of us have had “Red Sea” moments. A “Red Sea” moment is when you have your back against a seeming devastation yet facing an aggressive force that desires to bring damage to you. After reading the story of the Israelites and Moses in their exodus from Egypt, I realized something…God let them…
Read MoreTHE MAKING OF NEW WINESKINS
I’ve been doing much thinking and meditation about change and new wineskins. As stated in my last blog, Jesus gave the “wineskin” illustration to us in reference to understanding new revelation and stewarding change. Therefore, lately there’s been much firing of my synapses concerning this matter. My problem is not receiving change (new wine) rather…
Read MoreNEW WINESKINS
I’m trying to learn to navigate through the waters of change. It’s not an easy task to say the least. The implementation of change is as difficult as accepting change. It’s obvious that change occurs in the mind before it’s manifested in the natural; but the process of manifesting change can be quite daunting. I’m…
Read MoreHEALTHY LONELINESS
In my reading and studying today, I came across an article entitled “Healthy Loneliness.” The title captured my attention, for we (Victoria and I) have been at a place where there seems to be an abundance of loneliness in our lives. Before you misunderstand me – when we refer to loneliness, we’re not referring to…
Read MoreTHREE POSITIONS
I believe the Lord always gives to us a Word for every season we are in. My heart is full of expectation as He guides and leads us through our process of change. I’m currently preparing a new message series for the mid-fall season titled, Seated With Christ. And in it, I’m hearing the Lord…
