Have you ever been some where you know you have been before? Seen the same people? Deja vu? What if it was true that you had really been there? That happened to me last night. I was in a meeting in our fellowship. A meeting of leaders. A meal to bless them to be followed … Continue reading Déjà vu And You
A few days I attended a time of prayer and worship at our local fellowship. It was a very powerful, moving time with Him. While I was there I received the following thoughts.
I believe we are wasting some valuable resources in the church. We have often worked so hard to be relevant, that we have downgraded our thinking some times. We have lost some of the things that truly make the church the church. Many of those resources are the folks who went through powerful times. Impartation, … Continue reading This Is The Day, This Is The Day…

My friend Pat wrote about Nehemiah yesterday. Describing his ministry as well as the ministry of Paul and who we might be needing in the coming day. It triggered something. I like Nehemiah. I like a lot of what he stands for. Represents. Does. Nehemiah has been on my heart for a few weeks. The … Continue reading Fallen Walls & Burnt Gates
Each night I ask the Lord to reveal to me what He would have me to know. Each night He is faithful to visit. And I write about it when I think it is relevant to the body at large. This is one of them this morning.
