Luke 2:40 (AMPC) And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace (favor and spiritualblessing) of God was upon Him. [Judg. 13:24; I Sam. 2:26.] this is talking about Jesus. As we grow to be conformed to Jesus’ image, our spirit will get stronger. Without a strong Spirit, […]

Cancer Free
Yeah, that’s right! I said the little -c- word, cause I don’t have to think about it any more. Luke 4:39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Jesús was with me the whole time. I was just as close to the Lord in pre-op as well as […]
Consistency
Hebrews 13:8 KJV Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Consistency, although is not mentioned specifically as a fruit of the Spirit IS all the fruit of the Spirit rolled up into one. No one filled with God’s Spirit should ever be inconsistent. Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the […]

The ‘happily optimistic, preferred expectation’ Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Hope, as we usually use it, and faith are different. While I love hoping for things, and love being around people who give me hope, it doesn’t come close […]
Will
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. To be willing to die for something puts everything else into perspective. Make sure you are willing to lay your life down for Jesus only. As Christians, we must not fear death. Live this life as a living sacrifice to […]
Re-Member
Hebrews 10:17 “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” I try to be like Jesus. People laugh, but that’s Gods promise and He does not forget. He is not capable of forgetting, but He does choose to ‘not remember’ because He loves us. And He is going to conform us into the ‘Image’ […]
Go and Make Disciples
Matthew 12:13 “Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.” From my experience as a missionary, pastor and follower of Jesus, I have noticed that Jesus never has called me to do something I want to do, that I […]
Reports
Genesis 18:21 – I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know. When I was a soldier in the 80’s, I pretty much figured out that television news reports were often staged, manipulated and exaggerated, if not totally […]
Gaze
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. These are my musings from the week. I am not a Bible scholar. I hate […]
Ignore
But Jesus ignored her.Matthew 15:23 (MSG) I often get accused of ignoring things. Ignoring things isn’t putting your head in the sand, or being naive or irresponsible. In fact it’s the opposite. There are things that need to be paid attention to, and things to be ignored. If you pay attention to everything, at best […]
