The day they chose the Passover lambs, Jesus rode into Jerusalem. A children’s choir prophesied the ancient Hosanna, and the Lamb was revealed to be the King! 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. I believe this wound came at the time of his greatest victory of Goliath: David had an unhealed wound with women that struck his heart as a young vulnerable man because […]

Review this word. We are entering into its last phase as we turn this year. Then, we will receive “fresh orders.” This word is being pressed into me and leaving an impression upon my spirit. As an emblem pressed into warm wax, each day the word presses a bit deeper, leaving a more clearly defined […]

During the westward march of American settlers expanding the nation toward the mountains, questing pioneers encountered the vast expanse of open plains that became America’s “bread basket.” The terrain was terrifying to many people who turned around and rushed back to the eastern cities or simply stopped east of the Mississippi River, intimidated by the […]

The human condition includes the human contradiction and contrition. We are flawed! No amount of effort, education, or etiquette can fully remove all our flaws. The flaws are fundamentally spiritual and require a fundamentally spiritual solution. We may have physical flaws. These can be categorized in a nearly infinite manner. Someone’s physical flaws are someone’s […]

Today, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “The camouflage will no longer hide. The chameleons will no longer blend in.” Camouflage uses colors and patterns that resemble and mimic the surroundings to hide personnel and equipment, often for military use or warfare strategies. Chameleons possess the ability to change color in order to […]
