"When we have nothing left but God, we discover that God is enough. A few years ago I saw a picture online of a man standing on a dock looking down at the water and the caption said "when we have nothing left but God, we discover that God is enough." In my own life I have found that statement...
On September 26, 2011, I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord. And the Lord had me write these words (following) and he also had me write a song titled “When in the Stillness.” The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions, as well as...

Hillariah said to all the others as they gathered together where they heated a meal of ground seeds and olives which there was enough of over the firepit, "We all might see now we are not only accountable to each other, we are also accountable to all these creatures, they watch us. It seems...
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will...
John 21:15-17 ESV When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He...

Just as the media insists we must see them as truth tellers and must believe what we are told, there are factions within religion who demand the same. We must be true believers in their doctrines and various agendas and teachings. Liars all. But Jesus was clear when addressing the Apostles ...
I am not going to write much on this subject today. You can listen to the video, if you are able. I asked the Lord if he wanted me to do a video talk today and he put this title in my head, “His Timing is Perfect.” Basically, we all have things we are going through in this life, and not...
By Alfred C. Snead / George C. Stebbins Fully surrendered—Lord, I would be, Fully surrendered, dear Lord, to Thee. All on the altar laid, Surrender fully made, Thou hast my ransom paid; I yield to Thee. Fully surrendered—life, time, and all, All Thou hast given me held at Thy call. Speak but...
The world our heart dwells in So, the “Prodigal son” is by himself, alone, bereft of friends, hungry and literally living in a pig-sty. Who knows how long he has been away from his family and probably never thought about them, or when he did, it was perhaps in mockery and disdain. Being...
Psalms 139:23-24 “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” NIV “Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me...
*I know this is not Father’s Day today, but the subject matter here is that of abuse, specifically the abuse coming from a father, but this can extend to abuse coming from anyone in a position of rule and authority over others. So this can include the abuse inflicted by any parent, spousal...
Ephesians 4:32 NIV “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” In this video talk I make reference to a song sung by Whitney Houston. The song is titled, “I Have Nothing.” It is considered a romantic or a love song of sorts, but this is...
“Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many and in horsemen because they are very strong, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel or consult the Lord!” (Isaiah 31:1 ESV) Be very careful who you believe and who you put...
Hymn lyrics and Music by A. B. Simpson, 1891 Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord; Once it was the feeling, not it is His Word; Once His gift I wanted, now the Giver own; Once I sought for healing, now Himself alone. Once ‘twas painful trying, not ‘tis perfect trust; Once a half...

Those in this starting community that had fled Ariyah, it being revealed to them that the community there would not last, had most among them working on the homes right then. But Solima, Jippera, and the youths and children worked on caring for a wide area where much had been planted and sprouts...
Isaiah 30:1-5,8-11 ESV “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of...

Salvation by means of the creation of the Kingdom and resurrection does not mean we as individuals are saved. It means the ability to be 'saved into' now exists. The Adversary and even Legion believed in Jesus, but they are by no means saved. There is no place for adversaries to the will of God...
Psalms 92:1-4 NASB “It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, Most High; To declare Your goodness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night, With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music on the lyre. For You, Lord, have made me joyful by...
