Sitting Upon the Flood

When we find ourselves in the flood we can be comforted in knowing the Lord as our king. He is dwelling within, Lord of us all, and will keep us through the storm. We are in the Ark with Him with the New Creation passing through the abundance of water.

An upgrade to our comfort is in knowing that the King sits upon the flood. He not only goes through the trials with us but He is king over it. Though He may not be the one who causes a specific circumstance He is yet king over it—He causes "all things to work together" for some good in accomplishing His purpose.

If I have no clue what to share on and I'm asking the Lord about it, the answer doesn't always come until I begin to pray for the people. More often than not, I'll be praying for the souls, and some Scripture or topic will come through that. Sometimes I already have the word, and I cannot tell when it came, but I know what I should share on. In your case, you may have a word already in your heart that has worked in you to get you to this point. Even still, you take the word and bring it to the Lord and pray for the people that will be listening. 2) Meditate and receive the word The largest par...

The mystery of Israel: a conversation about prophecies and modern events

This is not a message, it is more of a discussion that I’ve been having with several people by phone call or email or chat or in person. This only includes some notes on it but I wanted to share a more comprehensive view all at once.
