More Lord!

On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after the resurrection of Jesus, Holy Spirit was poured out upon those followers of Jesus who had gathered together in Jerusalem. What happened on the first Pentecost continues to happen to Christians throughout the world today, though usually not in such a dramatic fashion. However, as we approach the end of an age, we are seeing and hearing more and more outpourings! According to Acts 2, when the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

The Little Things

Certain physical challenges seem to ‘run’ in our family.   Eczema, allergies & other skin issues show up on what seems to be a regular basis.   And until this week, I have thought of them as ‘minor health issues‘ -   non life threatening and easily treatable.   I put them in the   same category as a headache or small wound....No need to pray, just pay - for the latest over the counter medication!

Father's Day With a Twist

Image
For those of you who never knew an earthly father's loving embrace, take heart and be open to what is coming. Because this is the reason Jesus came.  THE REVELATION OF THE FATHER  is the main thing Jesus came to reveal. I don't think one person in a hundred reads or preaches the following verse correctly. When Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life,"  most of us read this like it was a moment when Jesus was clarifying who He was: "ok, listen up! I, Jesus, am the way, the truth and the life..."  and we completely miss the point. His discourse does not end there. Read the rest of the sentence. He completes the quote by saying ... 

A Quiet Voice

South Korea Jan and I had just completed a week of teaching at the Youth with a Mission Base (University of the Nations) in Kona Hawaii. We decided to take a walk along the beautiful white sand of the nearby beach. After a good brisk walk we  sat and relaxed for a while on the warm powder-like sand, watching wave after wave of sparkling lights from the sun dancing on the water. As I sat there, I heard the Lord speak to me. He said, “I am closing the doors of Kona for a season.” 

It's time for the flock to gather.....

"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." Matt 3:11

Open Doors

Image
Several years ago, I was teaching at the University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii.  Jan was with me and one night while we were walking the beach, I heard the still small voice of the Lord speak to me.  "I am closing the door to Hawaii and opening the doors to Korea!"  I shared this with Jan, who was sure I hadn't heard correctly (lol), however within 1/2 hour we were back at the base in time to hear at knock at our door.   A young Korean woman stood there and delivered a message that we clearly understood, "I would like to invite you to Korea to teach!"

Settled and Happy!

It wasn't until I began itinerating that I became aware of how many couples are unable to have children of their own.   Many of these couples have been trying for years, and some have become settled in their hearts and are now the happy parents of adopted children.
