Here is something to ponder. Which of these are you? I love the story in Luke 10 about Jesus and the good Samaritan. Let me paraphrase it for you for 2025. The story starts with a lawyer asking, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Jesus, being Jesus, in all of His wisdom, replied, “What does the scripture say?” The answer, of course, is: You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. The lawyer asks, but who Read More

Jehovah-Sabaoth: The God Who Troubles Your Troubles
Jehovah-Sabaoth (יהוה צְבָאוֹת) means “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of Armies.” This name emphasizes God as the supreme commander of heavenly and earthly forces, fighting on behalf of His people and troubling the troubles that rise against them. The word “Sabaoth” (צְבָאוֹת) refers to a great multitude, an army, or a host of heavenly beings. It is a name that reveals God’s authority over both the spiritual and natural realms—showing that He is not only a protector but a warrior who wages war against forces that oppose His will. In 2 Kings 7:6-7, God sends a sound to Read More
Thirsty!: Come and Drink
Thirsty is an interesting word. It has so many meanings, from needing a drink to being eager. I was reading something today that reminded me to drink more water. Then I started thinking about how thirst can cause our minds and bodies to fail. The same is true in a spiritual sense. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we will never experience the life of purpose that God planned for us. What a wasted life! John 7:37 tells us that Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me Read More
Healed and Whole: Forever Settled
I am Healed and Whole. Healing is part of our divine covenant with God. Exactly 2 years ago to the day, I did a series on healing. It’s time to revisit this topic as we should keep this in the forefront. God is a healing God. In Him we have healing. God has already made a way of escape from any and every sickness which may be moving through this realm attacking whoever it wants to devour; just like our enemy the devil who sneaks around looking for someone who is unprotected to devour (1 Peter 5:8). In Him we Read More
Remember the Blood
Today, April 8, 2020, is the first day of Passover. In Exodus 12:13, God gave us a promise. He said, When I see the Blood, I will Passover you. That horrible plague of death will not harm you. Remember the Blood. During this season, when we are obeying government authorities and staying at home because of a deadly plague (COVID-19), we can still obey what God said about the Blood. This is what the Word tells us about the Blood: Leviticus 17:11 – “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you Read More
The Scarlet Thread: A Picture of Redemption
The scarlet thread is a central theme in the book of Joshua and throughout the Bible. We are continuing the series on ‘Jesus Who?‘ This week we are studying the book of Joshua. Joshua, from the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu’a) means “YAHWEH is salvation”. Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim and was a companion of Moses. He went up Mount Sinai with Moses when he received the Ten Commandments from God and he was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan and was one of the two spies (Caleb being the other) who came back from spying out the Read More
