ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

Let's look at 2 Chronicles 34:19. What do you notice? At the Word, How do we respond- hardness and stubbornness and rejection, or meekness and repentance? Do we respond immediately, or do we take our time, responding when it's convenient? Josiah heard the Word and "rent  his clothes." (KJV) To rent means to tear, separate, divide. It is an act of repentance in the spiritual sense.  Sometimes separation is simple. Sometimes it demands us having to literally tear ourselves away from some things, people, and places.  Regardless, we must do what we must in order to walk in the light of the Word rather than the dark temporary pleasures the evil of the world has to offer. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the  Lord  your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.    Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him;- Joel 2:13-14a For th...

John 1:1 In the beginning was The Word. The Word was with God. The Word was God. Revelations 1:8   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. The Word is God. John 4:24 God is a Spirit : a nd they that worship him must worship him in spirit a nd in truth.   God is a Spirit.     Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy ( speak God-enabled utterances)... God pours out his Spirit. John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit , and they are life .   John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life . God's Spirit is Life John 3:34  (AMP...

Yep- 12 more days left til the 25th! How about the time left between today and our eternity? The Book of Joel is such a passionate read; God implores his people to look around at their reality. He wants them to not be satisfied with their present state, but to " Press toward the mark" ( Phil. 3:14) It's like God is saying Hellooo! Are you seriously OK with, this!? Here I am , ready to move, on YOUR behalf. What's the hold up? Sometimes the hold-up is the mere lack of recognition that something is not quite right. It is easy for us to get caught up in our christian bubble, and be so afraid to rock the boat that we have become passive about the transgressors around us. It is easier to turn the blind eye to sin, and figure, hey it's not my problem. But when God made us the SALT and the LIGHT it became our job to unsettle when it came to anything against the sovereign God. Israel settled for less than what God desired for them, and needed a wake up call. "Blow th...
