Throughout the history of mankind, we see a pattern emerge. A pattern that outwardly can seem very harsh and sometimes even cruel. Man sins, and persists in his sin. The Lord is gracious and patient with them. Showing them love in the hopes that His kindness will lead them back to Him in...

So something I used to struggle with, and probably still do from time to time, is spending actual quality time with God. I used to be very legalistic in this approach of "I have to" spend x amount of time daily with God. I have to do this or I have to do that. That is almost never an acceptable...

Now I know this may not mean much to any of you but I'm going to post this any way because God deserves some praise now. I have been studying in the AG now for a year almost and after being credentialed to minister I was suddenly and unexpectantly placed on hold for ministry. Well I gave up for...

Starting off this morning with the words of my Savior in my ear! Hallelujah I can hear Him again! Speak to Your servant Lord, I am listening! Job 19:25, "I know that my Redeemer lives!" What is it that gives us Christians such a lively hope? What is it that makes the believer forget about the...

So I've been struggling mightily with my faith, if you read some of my "newer" blogs you can see that. I want to find my way back, but have reached the point where I no longer try, because I am completely incapable of finding what the carnal cannot possess or attain. Now this post started as...

So while I was at a Baptist youth camp as a teenager I had just recently completed my first ever fast and moved from Kansas to Missouri (Springfield). I attended my last youth camp with my church I grew up with (the Baptist one I mention occasionally) in July that year and upon arrival in...

So more than a year ago I began asking the Lord for a great revelation of His self in my life. Felt like there was so much more I needed and was just lacking so I prayed. I fasted. I felt one night in one such prayer, the Lord reply back to me "30". I instantly felt that to mean I would receive...

From 2002: Who hasn't felt upset with God at one time or another. He understands the struggle we face and I think telling God I'm upset even at you is a good thing, because it's honest and it opens us up for healing. One time I had just moved away from my family for the first time. Just out of...

I recently committed to help a local Spanish Pentecostal church that my wife attends, and they have many very questionable doctrines. Well more like doctrines I don't agree with. Anyways, they told me before I could help I had to agree to wear nice slacks and collared shirts and possibly a tie...

Ok so I figured I would share how the Lord Jesus personally healed me and gave me new life, praise His holy name! To understand some of my story I have to tell you a bit about my past. I grew up in a small town in Southeast Kansas and from my earliest days I can remember being in church. I...

One night I sat in silence before the Lord seeking his direction in my life. Seek Me, Know Me, Love Me, He said. So I asked him what that meant. He said, "You must seek Me, Bryan, in order to know Me. You must know Me, in order to really love Me. Just as a man must seek a woman to know her so...

From 2013 Something the Lord has shown me recently is that He greatly desires to raise an army of intercessors. I saw a vast field of Soldiers clad in Roman armor, marching in formation as toward battle. In front of each formation was one individual with a standard held high. I asked Him what...

Holy Spirit, given from God! Poured out by the Lord Jesus! I treasure you! I adore you! I greatly appreciate the grace you have given me! You have taken me and led me, even when I was stubborn and hard hearted you were patient with me and full of love! My heart sings to you! My joy is...

I will take you from where you are to where I want you to be. I am the Shepherd, you are the sheep! The sheep do not dictate to the Shepherd where to go or what to do. I lead you to still waters. I provide for you. I protect you. You must trust in me. Be consumed with my presence. When...

My children, come to Me! I am waiting for you to come to Me for everything that you need and desire. Why must you feel as though you must accomplish all things in your own might and strength? Don't you realize that every good gift and thing is sent from Me to you to remind you that I am your...

In 2013, the Lord showed me a large bucket He was holding. In it were various types of contianers, all of which were empty but had at one time been full. He explained to me very briefly that they represented the church today and those individuals who are just empty and have lost their way. He...

Woke up some time ago to a blaring trumpet noise in my ears. I asked the Lord what it was and saw an angel in Heaven blowing a mighty trumpet. I then asked the Lord what that meant and He said to prepare for the end is near! Let us join together and cry out to the one who can save us from the...

In the dream I was at work (I work in the military as a Soldier) and we had received a large treasure to guard at my office in the basement. Well for nights and weeks I would be tempted to take it because it would solve my very real financial issues. Well one night I broke down and took it all...

I make you wait at times for answers to your prayers to test your faith and to show you how much faith you currently possess in Me. A time of testing is coming where only the strong of faith will endure. By making you wait in prayer I desire to draw you to Myself to prepare you for the road ahead.

I was out exercising one day & I was seeking the Lord to disciple me. He showed me a road sign and as I walked past it the sun glared brilliantly off it. He then spoke to me as such: Bryan, did you notice the brilliance of the shine that bounced off that road sign? You were created in Me to...
