Genesis Chapter 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the […]
Miracles
Depression
1 Peter 5:7 – Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I was really worried when I got out of the VA hospital last March. Upon returning to Nicaragua, immediately, I fell into the deepest darkest depression of my life, mixed with extreme anxiety attacks. Exhaustion, not feeling well, 2 months […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Graves
Graves aren’t scary Matthew 27:52-53 52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Graves are not permanent. In fact nothing is permanent on this plant. The […]
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. […]
Anxious/Anxiety
Praise God!! I’m home. Happy to be back in Nicaragua, the ministry, the kids and most of all Winnie. Mixed emotions though. Amazing how my soul has cleaved to these cranky old vets and the staff as well in the rehab center. God is good. Anxious/Anxiety Philipians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; […]
FTD
Not the flower guys. -Focus on what you were given -Thanksgiving for what your were given -Dedication on what to do with what you were given 1 Cor 12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.: Don’t take what you have been given for granted. First we have to […]
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 […]
Will
Psalm 9 KJV I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise. We are going into the new year. A good time to change yourself. Start a yearly Bible reading plan. Get back to […]
Influence
Matthew 5:13-16“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be […]
Replace
Habakkuk 2:16 The cup of wine in the Lord’s right hand is coming to you, and disgrace will replace your majestic glory! Replace is a scary word. When someone replaces you at work, you usually are unemployed. Also, to me, it seems that replacing something often refers trading down for less. For example, people seek […]
Obededom
1 Chronicles 13:14“And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.” Obededom was from Gath. Gath was a city in Philistine. Philistine and Israel were and are always at war. People from Gath were called […]
Voodoo
Mark 16:17 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. That verse is talking about us. Nothing has changed since the Bible days, except us, and our faith. Voodoo is a reality in Nicaragua. Personally, […]
James
Jesus’ little brother! James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. ‘James the Just’ was Jesus’ little brother. Can you imagine growing up in that environment?? James had a unique understanding of Jesus, […]
Healing
Everyone believes in healing! Jeremia17:14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. When someone wants to tell you in the future that they don’t believe in healing, ask them if they ever skinned their knee. If they say yes, ask them […]
MIRACLES
Just because you don´t believe in supernatural miracles doesn’t mean that they don´t happen! We live in an age of supernatural miracles!Miracles It is impossible to be a true believer and not believe in miracles. Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the […]
