“How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep. A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this: That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. But You, O Lord, are on...

The huge creature, the underearthworm, continued to be around the wall, going along it on the outside of the garden with drenched plants all around in it, seemingly needing to feed right there. Those watching soon decided that their plants they needed to have growing were not threatened by this...
As some of you may or may not be aware, when the Lord called me to this ministry in 2004, and he had me begin writing down what he was teaching me from my times with him in his word each day, he also began opening my eyes to so many things about what was going on in my nation and in the world...
“But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is...
“With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel...
Our Place in the Body of Christ Silence allows us to get in touch with our sorrows so that we can enter them and unite them to the sorrows of Jesus. Then our sufferings are no longer obstacles in our path to God but actually become the path to union with Him. When Mary embraced her Son as in...
“Do not let your heart envy sinners, But live in the fear of the Lord always. Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off. Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way. Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; For the heavy...

We are often considered dreamers because we don't like this world we have made in our own image. That means we don't like us and that can make a lot of enemies, not because we want to, but because others resent our dislike of who we are. But to many, the dream (the Kingdom) makes sense, while...

Interesting week. It culminated in a military parade in D.C., and about 2000 rallies to protest Trump and his policies. This is my favorite image from the Philadelphia rally via HuffPost): Some on the right cannot see why these rallies were needed and may ignore the fact that millions...

The Bible, from front to back, is about following the Will of God, not of man. Anyone claiming to be led by the Holy Spirit will be known by their works which diametrically oppose the self serving will of man. As Jesus said, servitude to the Father and to all in need. No 'self' involved. "Thy...

Jesus said He did nothing of His accord, only the will of the Father, as should we. Neither Jesus nor we are to do anything of our own accord, other than what is directed. We are free to decorate that cake any way we want, but the recipe is the Father's. © ...timothyu

Once upon a time, early institutionalized religion deemed it unwise for the populace to have access to scripture. They were partially right because scripture used improperly could detract from the original meaning. They decided, in order to control the narrative, they would promote their own...
“But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I...
“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give...

The great worm said, "I hear and know what is said, it comes into my mind, and I know." Deseradar responded, "You can? We have met no others who could hear and know what is said with their mind." Fisepel said, "But we have. Those tiny creatures we each have in an ear are doing that, and we...
