Giving is a process more than an individual action, attitude, or activity. Giving begins with receiving, of course, else I would have nothing to give. Jesus says, “It is more blessed to give than receive” because receiving is a blessing. Giving is more blessed than receiving. Giving takes receiving up a notch and pushes through […]

God is love. Love is a trait of His character; so when His Glory is manifested, passionate love is revealed. What we often referred to God’s fire is often a manifestation of His passionate love. God is love. God is a consuming fire. His passionate love will burn up anything foreign to what He loves, […]

Not everyone is a pioneer. Some settlers are required; in fact, many more settlers are required than pioneers. God has created plenty of settlers, salt of the earth people who expand vision once it is established. Pioneers are originators. Consider the information we have about Elijah’s schools for prophets. Elisha carried on this originated model, […]

Both basar and tobe are used in Hebrew to speak of announcing good news or reports of victory. [See both together in 1 Kings 1:42.] A messenger is sent, a runner, to give the report of the battle or war, and his report of good news declares some portion of the victory. The messenger can […]

Acts 2:36 is the climatic moment of Peter’s sermon at the initiation of kingdom building, the day of Pentecost after Jesus’ Ascension.

The people had their moment of opportunity to chose the Lamb of God. When we properly behold the Lamb of God, we see that He is King, and […]

Disposition is a personality tendency, an habitual way of processing experience and responding to life. Akin to “temperament” that originally was studied with the worldview that the stars or planets had determining influence upon human behaviors. The words all have their etymological foundations in this erroneous worldview, but we now use the terms to speak […]

Most of the revelation a believer receives involves a relationship with Holy Spirit who is teaching, guiding, comforting, rebuking, and assigning. This is the majority of revelation: God sharing His secrets and being God in a believer’s life. Most specific revelation comes as part of the “assigning,” and most of that should be considered an […]

David, a great leader and champion, had a glaring personal failure with Bathsheba that involved deadly conspiracy and personal judgment for the entire nation.
