Bulletproof Shield (Armor Of God, Pt 1) Ephesians 6:16 “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” 1st teaching of 6 on ‘Full Armor of God’ 1. Belt of Truth: Represents honesty and integrity. 2. Breastplate of Righteousness: Symbolizes moral integrity and […]
At School
Hate
‘Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated’…… God It’s such an ugly word. Should be banned from the Christian vocabulary. Words are thought capsules that we throw at each other. They have spiritual blessing or toxicity. Dang, Gosh darn, Fudge, Golly Gee, and hate all have a spiritual toxicity to them. […]
Empathy
“ Crickets” KJV. Not Biblical. Not even a very old word. “Empathy, a made up, new-age leftist politician word” Charlie Kirk Empathy. Last time I heard that word, I was being fired from a fortune 500 (downsized from GE Money actually). It ever seemed like a sincere word to me. Now, all the […]
Mine
John 16:15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you! The families of Iryna Zarutska & Charlie Kirk are all in our prayers. ‘My’ heart is literally broken. I have never been so affected by the screen before. About ready […]
Weak Faith
Mark 9:24 I believe Lord! Help Thou my unbelief! I don’t know about anyone else, that is one of my most repeated prayers. Especially now when everything we do down here has to be ‘under the radar’ due to the powers that be, south of the border. The anxiety, depression and disappointment has […]
Write!
Hab. 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it Write it down! In this case it was about an imminent invasion. But whatever the case, writing down what comes to your mind is a healthy practice. […]
Incline
Jeremiah17:23 – But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. Inclined says it all. It’s past tense, meaning it happened before? What makes us inclined to hear God? I believe it’s the Holy Spirit! It has nothing to do […]
Leadership
John 13:3-4 (Jesus) got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him. Neither the words leaders nor leadership are words found in the KJV! In […]
Worst
1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief”. The word ‘chief’ here is often translated ‘worst’ in many other versions of the Bible.. Paul is saying here that he is the worst sinner out there. […]
Real Deal
This is the first time I am intentionally not inserting scripture because everything I am saying is backed up by the Bible. ‘Real Deal’ is not mentioned specifically in the Bible, but my thoughts about this saying clearly are 100% Biblical. First off, related to REAL DEAL, I have a praise report! It’s related to […]
Kiss Cams
Kiss cams I wonder how many people are praying for the two suffering guys on the kiss cam scandal from last week? I am surprised at how many of my Christian brothers and sisters are thoroughly enjoying this train wreck. I don’t know the details of any of it except that a couple […]
Well Done Good & Faithful Servant
Matthew 25:23 His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! … Those are the only words that interest me. That is the only goal in my life, to hear Jesus Himself say to me personally ‘Deannie!’(that’s what He calls when we’re alone), ‘well done, good and faithful servant!’ I don’t want to hear […]
Change
Urgent prayer requests. My phone’s still broken (american phone line (text only) I can get texts but I can’t answer you. I do have wassap however +55050510927 🙂 Horrible transportation problems (finding a GOOD used car) All are mission critical. Pretty demoralizing). Also pray for the guaymi indians that I worked with in […]
Fear and Trembling
(Urgent prayer requests. My phone is broken and can’t retrieve my stateside number NOR wassap. Both mission critical. Also pray for the guaymi indians I worked with in Panama. Severe persecution for them right now.) Psalm 2:11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. This verse shows that when you fear God, you […]
Re-Fired
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Two great men of God, one in heaven now told me (one through Chat and another on a teaching tape […]
Persistence
It is estimated that 15,000 children sleep in the streets of Managua. Completely homeless. That was son’s greatest fear when he was little because he knew a lot of the homeless kids here in Managua. PERSISTENCE!Romans 2:7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, He will give […]
Repent!
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; When I first wore my class ‘A’ army uniform in public, (in Cleveland) I got spit on, insulted and worse off, I had a street bum scream […]
Who Is Righteous?
Who is Righteous? James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Lots of saved people don’t see themselves as righteous. They look for righteous people to pray for them. But if you are […]
68 Lessons
Proverbs 16:31The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness I stoled this idea from my mindfulness coach, retired NavySEAL commander Jon Macaskill. 68 life lessons (no, it’s not my birthday)… I am going to be 68 next month. Here’s a lesson I’ve learned for each […]
amer I CAN
amer I CAN! Phillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me Self-talk is not self-thought. You gotta say it like you mean it. Not just ‘think you can’. You have to put it out there, where people can hear you. You have committed yourself once you confess it with your mouth […]
Be/Do
Be/Do, Become! James 1:22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves When we were kids, we’d ask each other what we wanted to be when we grew up. Firemen, police or doctors usually. I wanted to be a motorcycle riding, tobacco chewing kindergarten teacher. I […]
GO!
Go! Spiritual Warfare In 2 Letters Luke 4:35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt When I got saved, Jesus told me to ‘go’ so I went! Things have […]
Death
Death. There are a lot worse things. John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit. Talking about being born again, blood bought Christians of course. For believers death isn’t that bad. […]
Strong
Thus sayeth the Lord, ‘Be strong!’ (4 times directly and repeated 25 times in the Bible.) God never said ‘Be weak!’ (See devotional below) BE STRONG! Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will […]
End of Month
Praise God!! I may be going home on the 4th of April, Lord Willing! Pray that I can find a cheap ticket. Pray that my good ankle and finances hold up. Lots of extra costs, especially a last minute plane ticket. Also, becoming a recognized non profit in Nicaragua is really expensive with the lawyer’s […]
Looking Forward
I feel sorry for our children and for worldly people. There is nothing to look forward to with certainty in this world right now. The future is so uncertain. We are one insane terrorist away from losing airlines or the internet or probably both. Anything the media says is a lie, […]
So, How Are You?
I walked for the first time since 7 Feb. Going home to Managua at the end of month. Lots of extra costs, especially a last minute plane ticket. Also, becoming a recognized non profit in Nicaragua is really expensive with the lawyer’s unexpected costs 🙁 Have a day cast for my ‘good leg’ which […]
Righteous
Proverbs 24:16 For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, Righteous, a strong word. An impossible goal to reach without Jesus. Righteous means right with God. Righteousness does not come from man. Man (other people) cannot take your righteousness. I personally have fallen more than 7 times in life. […]
Humility
I am still bedridden since 7 Feb. Lots of extra unexpected delays and costs. Also for becoming a recognized non profit in Nicaragua 🙁 Pls pray that my ‘good leg’ heals now!!!! (Bone spur). It’s a miserable first time experience for me to be bed bound and Winnie’s all alone, pray facing the nica […]
Obedience Is Works
James 2:17-26. The verse reads, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Disobedience is always caused by either pride or fear. Both are Satanic, all the time. God wasn’t proud of His Sin Jesus. But was well pleased. I am happy to be an American but not proud. Partial […]
Fail
THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT. I AM GOING TO SHORTEN THESE Newsletters TO SEE IF YOU LIKE THEM SHORTER. IF YOU WANT MORE DETAILS, or would like them longer, PLEASE LET ME KNOW 1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: Fail means end. The only time we fail is when we quit. Literally this […]
Need
Phil 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Need is a funny word. When I was lost I needed everything. It was a common word in my vocabulary. I would replace the word want with need. As I grow in Christ I […]
Presence-Presents
God’s presence/presents Gen 24:53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. When Rebecca agreed to the servant of her future father in law to be in her future husband’s presence (A […]
