Look at II Kings 22:8-13

King Josiah (22:1ff) was 8 years old when he began to reign in Jerusalem. This king did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. He walked in the ways of his father, King David. At the age of 26 the book of the Law was found. This means Judah had lost the word of the Lord, the book of Laws

Keep in mind this was the CHURCH! They had lost understanding of God's Word. They did not have His guidelines and precepts to guide their paths!

We as a nation, founded under God's word...

Have you ever watched the video "Kingdom of Heaven"? It's a story about the rise and fall of Jerusalem and the choices of men before God. Granted it is a purely fictional story, but the parallels with our times I find fascinating.

So I am watching this video and God begins talking with me regarding Israel in the Old Testament and our situation now (both America and the world). Israel had two types of people and two types of kings in her day: those people and kings that humbled themselves befor...

I have been hearing a lot of talk lately on same sex marriages (both homosexuals and lesbians), increased adultery and fornication. We are getting more and more laws passed making it a hate crime to speak against these situations. We are having more and more people, both Christians and non-Christians, speaking in favor of just letting people do what they want to do. We have chosen to believe we can do anything we want and there is no penalty for our actions.

Now, here is the problem! God says ...

Jesus told us in Luke 24:49 to wait until we were clothed with power from on high before beginning to minister (Luke 24:49 (Net), "And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. But stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high") . He said this to His disciples just before ascending to His Father. Sometimes I think we feel this scripture only applied to the disciples in the first century church, but it is a model that applies to all of us NOW!

We have lamente...

    Timing and hearing the voice of God is everything. You get up at a certain time, work at a certain time, eat at a certain time. Our entire life is based on schedules of one type or another.
    As we walk with God the same principle applies. He orders our lives and sets various events in motion. We have a choice whether to respond to His requests or not. We can choose whether to listen to His voice, or do what we want. When we choose God's way life can be very interesting with many new and...

I posted a word on Oct 8, 2009, titled "Reflections". This word dealt with the reflection or image before our eyes, and how we were looking at the wrong image.

I was waiting before the Lord yesterday and God began speaking,

"Who are you? Not the office or position you hold, but who are you. I submit that you have been looking at the wrong reflection, the wrong image. Change your image. Press in and see who I say you are."

If we are asked who we are, we tend to answer -

"I am senior pastor"
"I am ...
