    Battle Strategy: Thankfulness

    Imagine if you will a wagon with a driver being pulled by two horses. The two horses are your mind and your emotions. The driver is your will and the cart is your body. The two horses, your mind and emotions, will take your body, the cart, wherever your will, the driver, wants to go. Simple...

    Definition Of Wilderness

    When we started on our journey in 2007 we had a vague idea of what a wilderness season in God meant. We had read many of the Christian classics, Tozer, Guyon, John of the Cross, Thomas a Kempis, Theresa of Avila and others describing wilderness seasons. From there we learned a little about what...

    Amen! Glad to here it! I know Jesus will be with you.
  4. Bearing Testimony

    Bearing Testimony

    One of the key lessons we learned when we were on our wilderness journey was how to bear testimony. Bearing testimony means that you witness something and then tell others about what you witnessed. Witness and testimony are words we hear often used in courts of law because they have legal...

    Spiritual Assayers

    Challenging believers to give their all to Jesus and follow Him in faith.All that we have learned in our journey of faith is free for all. We encourage any and all to drink deep of the wisdom of the Lord and follow Him in faith.

    Basic Requirements for Spiritual Growth

    We came across many people in our wilderness journey and each one was a lesson for us. Each time we were betrayed, hated, despised or lied about gave us an opportunity to see into the heart of that person as well as ourselves. Each time we were blessed, helped, cared for and loved we also saw...

    Reasons for faith

    Sorry about that. The detail of the story is in our book but not really elsewhere. My daughters are very private after what has happened to them. Anyways my wife and I were in our 40's at the time. Youngest daughter was 16, oldest was 20. Our oldest dog was 10 and we had to put her down soon...

    The Soul

    Not an expert here but we have learned a thing or two about the soul. They are written down here http://bit.ly/2eLRJOp and here http://bit.ly/2evcRf4. And does God have a soul? Oh yes. Homer Les and Wanda Ring

    Reasons for faith

    Personally, I have to say that faith for us isn't about what we think or believe. Although that is the foundation, I have found our faith more from living it out rather than thinking about it. I see the intellectual foundation for faith has to be established but if nothing is built on that...

    Burned Out and Cynical

    As ones who have left organized religion we can really empathize with what you have been through. It isn't easy. The immaturity of believers is a problem in a great deal of churches today. Just remember that we all have the 'self' nature in us and as we get together in groups that 'self' nature...

    love and renunciation

    I have to admit that in Bible college I was quite drawn to the desert fathers. I appreciated the fact that these people lived their faith and then wrote about it. Not like today where there is so much writing and not much living. Our experience of renunciation, or giving up all as we like to...

    Hardened to (not by) the world

    Excellent post. Certainly God has told us that as we follow Him He will 'strengthen us and harden us to difficulties.' To be able to resist the onslaught of 'self' and satan one must be hardened, progressively, to the trials and tribulations that go with the life of real faith. Ain't easy. This...

    Spiritual Growth 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, Hebrews 5:12, 13, 14

    Very true. It is important to learn that God has given us a clear map for the growth in spiritual maturity. All those who follow Him in obedience will grow to the level of their choices. We have found this map of spiritual maturity to be very helpful. http://bit.ly/2wq4Pu1 Thank you for this...

    DEVELOPING SPIRITUAL CAPACITY IN PRAYER AND FASTING - One day may never be enough!

    O that sweet refrain of perseverance and patient endurance. How little we persist these days in pushing through for spiritual victory. What little we give expecting enormous results. Well said! We need to hear more but better yet we need to persevere for the faith we hold to. Truly we will not...

    What are your favorite prayers in the Bible?

    The one prayer our family found most helpful during our homeless wandering was the Lord's prayer. When you are hungry, cold and homeless it is really hard to pray, "Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" but it helped us focus on the Lord and what He was doing with us. So thankful for...
