8/16/25 The Bad Guys

As men, we are taught to hold on to our own safety and make sure no one takes our stuff. Some time ago, the Lord startled me while I was in one of those quiet-almost-sleepy-could-really-be-dozing kind of prayer times. His voice was quiet and full of love. He said, "I want you to know that I love your most aggressive enemies as much as I love you. There is no one on the face of this earth that I wish would perish. I want you to pray for all those who hate Me. In fact, I want you to pray for anyone who will hate My children. Pray that they will be able to share My love."

Then things got personally serious. "I want you to pray for those who will kill you. I don't mean that someone is going to do that, necessarily; but I want you to have the heart that would care about their salvation more than you care about your own life." By now, I was awake. Pray for someone who hated me enough to kill me! Love others - even the bad guys?

The Lord then reminded me of His actions on the cross. He had words of forgiveness for those who were spitting on Him and an attitude of great love for those who drove the nails in His hands. He told me to do the same with anyone who came against me. It was enough to remind me this life is not centered around my well-being. What a novel thought!

8/16/25 At Peace No Matter What

“Where do you find safety? You read the headlines and accept the fear that they bring. You watch the news and release your comfort to its influence. You listen to the radio and choose to hide rather than face the season in which you live. Why do you not come to Me to see how you can be at peace, no matter what your circumstances might bring? I know why. You do not trust Me.

“In My Word and throughout history, many of My people have been harmed in many ways. Some were killed violently by violent people who hated Me. You do not call that being safe with Me. In fact, it seems to you as a grave danger to truly trust and sell out to Me, if that’s the result. You do not understand safety as I see it. Selfishness blinds your spiritual eyes. Over the centuries, service to Me has deteriorated from joyous proclamation of My good news for the sake of others, no matter what the cost, to fearful cowering and fervent petitions for personal gain.

“When will you realize that I alone am safety for those dead to themselves? When will you learn that I provide the Spirit of My Son in perilous times. Nothing could touch His heart of love and His zeal to protect you from real harm. Come to His kind of safe haven in Me. Nothing can touch what I own. Whatever part of you that is not totally Mine will reel and flounder when times are tough. I protect whatever is totally Mine. Nothing can touch what I protect.”

Prov. 21:30-31 AMP

30) There is no [human] wisdom or understanding or counsel [that can prevail] against the Lord.

31) The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance and victory are of the Lord.

Prov. 29:25 AMP

The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.

Phil. 4:6-7 AMP

6) Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

7) And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Some of the first century church - who had their possessions confiscated, who fled to the hills to live in squalor, who died in the arena - physically walked with Jesus. Quite possibly, they saw His loving, sun-touched face up close and personal on a daily basis before His death, a death that was a pattern for their own life and death. He loved them and they showed their love to be an example of the power of His actions.

In the arena, as the mastiffs were attacking their children, as the lions devoured their own bodies, I am convinced that they saw His face, now glorified beyond belief, once more. His power was with them. They were fully protected from causing any shame to come to their very best Friend. His priorities had welded themselves deep within the fibers of their inner beings, gaining strength every moment as they approached the glory of God.

Life for the new believer had taken on a new form with new priorities. Quite possibly, some of those who took part in the crucifixion - the soldier who drove the nails in His hands, perhaps the one who pierced His side - exchanged their lives for a life of dedication to the one true God.

Equipped with His presence, they overcame all of the characteristics of their former puny existence and embraced the spiritual power to live above the hatred of the world. Their unqualified love is a testimony that resonates through the corridors of time, encouraging each of us to throw aside all of our crippling fears and look once again upon the face of Jesus, our true Master and Lord.

Needing to become much more familiar with Your face, Lord,

8/15/25 Easier to Do

As men, it’s easier to try to do something about all the brush fires we ignite with our spiritual ignorance than it is to become everything we’re called to be in Christ. Making something happen is far easier than waiting on God to direct our steps and completely oversee our lives, which allows us to avoid the many pitfalls the enemy has planned against our families.

Doing stuff to make things better in our own strength means we’ve unknowingly decided to make ourselves vulnerable to the traps set by the enemy against our families. It means we’ve reduced the outcome of our lives to the limitations of our own carnal thinking and insufficient power. It means we’ve offered the enemy an opportunity to attempt to override the plans God has for us and our families. It means we’re in the world and of the world; and, therefore, incapable of winning any spiritual war waged against us. It means we’ve taken the well-traveled, easier road and chosen to walk in spiritual weakness.

On the other hand, becoming a true man of God and a mighty warrior means we’ve overcome and discarded the ways of the world. We’ve ceased to function in the realm of the enemy and have planted our flag in the kingdom of God by submitting to its guidelines in our lives. It means we’ve crucified the flesh, having gladly died to its demands and becoming fully submitted to the Lordship of Jesus over every area of our lives and the lives of our families. It means we’ve accepted God’s invitation into His throne room, which He can make our war room where nothing harmful prevails over us or those we love. Would you like to live there?

8/15/25 The Miracle of Life

“Do you believe in miracles? Do you know that you are one? It’s true! You have been brought to life two times now and will be given a third lifetime in the near future. That’s quite miraculous! From the first time that I breathed life into the first of your ancestors, the miracle of life has continued. You have just forgotten that it is so incredible because life takes place so often. Life is very special to Me because I not only birth it, I maintain every second of its existence in every person. I have done that for everyone who has ever lived. Each of you maintain life only because I will it.

“Think about your new spiritual birth. You actually become brand new creatures when you accept Jesus. I recreate you to live and function properly on earth, destroying the mutant life of sin that you inherited from the beginning of your time as a race. After I decide that your lifespan is over, I will breathe new life into you once again so that you can live with Me. Your spirits are ready, but your body will be made new. By the time you are complete, I will have endowed you with My life three separate times.

“I would say that that is enough proof for you to believe in miracles, wouldn’t you? Prepare your hearts to walk fully in the miracle of your new life. The times are coming when you will need to do so. Be assured that I will be faithful to walk with you.”

Acts 17:24-28 AMP

24) The God Who produced and formed the world and all things in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade shrines.

25) Neither is He served by human hands, as though He lacked anything, for it is He Himself Who gives life and breath and all things to all [people].

26) And He made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men to settle on the face of the earth, having definitely determined [their] allotted periods of time and the fixed boundaries of their habitation (their settlements, lands, and abodes),

27) So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us.

28) For in Him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your [own] poets have said, For we are also His offspring.

I believe that we have taken the wonder of our lives for granted. We have become so accustomed to God’s hand hovering over us that we forget how miraculous our life really is.

There is a side-show miracle mentality that prevails in today’s church. We have clamored for a visible presence of God to boost our faith, instead of seeking His face to really know Him. Consequently, the omnipotent God is brought down to the level of man, as humble-sounding words that claim to give credit to Him from self-promoters defy the prideful hearts that accept accolades and heap God’s money upon themselves. That is not the kind of mismanagement of our heritage that I believe is on the horizon for the true church of Christ.

In the Word, we read about walls falling, chains dropping to the ground, leprosy being healed, people being raised from the dead and so on and so on. The wondrous workings of our God are really part of our heritage. They are still happening, and I am convinced that they will increase as time grows shorter before the coming of our Lord.

However, I believe a most unique and miraculous time is ahead. Instead of Christians loudly displaying the wares of Jesus for their own gain, God will have a people who will exemplify the powerful life and quiet character of Jesus Christ. The world will understand that the spirit of God is again in their midst. I am convinced that miracles will again abound, this time through the lives of surrendered vessels, those who are now hearing the call to holiness.

Not only will there be physical manifestations similar to the works of Jesus but astounding spiritual wealth will be commonplace as multitudes walk in humble obedience to their Lord. Empty of self, surrendered fully to the Lord, and functioning in the new birth through Christ, the honest church of Jesus will be a people preparing only for heaven, and looking only for His return. We will finally be seen as the incredible miracle that we really are, as God brings His holiness to us and makes us visibly ready to receive the life of our Lord for the third time.

Needing to clearly understand so that I can fully surrender,

8/14/25 Action or Reaction?

Are you a man of action, or do you find yourself reacting to challenges that could have been avoided if you had engaged sooner? Preemptive prayer is an action that helps to create a smooth path for families to travel.

As I look around, I see so many marriages that appear to be on the verge of failing, or at best, things have dimmed over the years. I see children who’ve been overcome by the world, unaware of the bondage they’re in. I also see husbands and fathers who’ve either given up long ago or are hopelessly looking for ways to get their families out of the mess they’re in. All they can do is react to the next emergency their family faces. They live the life of a blind guide, putting out fire after fire, while attempting to maintain some semblance of a Christian family.

I also notice the families of a praying husband and father. Sure, they have challenges; but what’s not seen is all of the enemy’s plans that have been destroyed long before they could take effect. What’s not seen is the aggressive posture the man of God has taken on behalf of those he stewards. What’s not seen is the “hands off my family” notice that’s been given to the enemy. What’s not seen is the supernatural hedge built around the family of the mighty man of prayerful action on their behalf. That man is you!

Let’s talk more!
