So, we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV Specific verses in Scripture…
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 Whenever I read these verses written by Paul and inspired by the Holy…
There are moments in my life in which I could take you to a physical location where I received what many of us deem as prophetic words. There were many times I believed and claimed to have heard the voice of God speaking internally to me, writing down these words in a journal now tattered and falling apart. Over the years, many of the public prophecies spoken over me were also written in this journal. I remember going to this…
And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for you Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,…
On February 8, 2023, a mandatory chapel service at Asbury college in Kentucky commenced and did not end, as students continued to linger and to return to the sanctuary in worship and prayer. As of now, the gathering is still going as students and many outside the college and the state of Kentucky travel to be a part of what some are saying is the manifest presence of God. Revival is said to have broken out on this campus, and…
It was June 20, 2017. The debut broadcast of a prophetic collaboration initiated by a local professing apostle I personally knew was aired locally and on social media. One of the contributors was yours truly, and the first word I felt led to share was about an alleged vision and conversation I had with God about Ezekiel 47. Earlier that year, I had written a blog post that was picked up by Charisma Magazine and Charisma News about this claimed…
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1 “Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 The past few years have brought a gamut of emotions and realizations while pondering on the trials of life and the things we endure in this world. The words of Jesus Christ have…
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 ESV There was a time when my…
In February of this year, Bible Gateway, an online Bible platform, announced their decision to remove The Passion Translation (TPT) from its selection of English Bible translations and versions. Reactions to the news were mixed, ranging from praise and thankfulness to disappointment and even outrage, claiming an attack of the enemy against God’s anointed and the move of God. Brian Simmons, the lead translator of TPT, expressed his own feelings regarding the decision by posting online, stating that “cancel culture…
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me. Psalm 13:1-2,5-6 ESV When David wrote this psalm to the Lord, he was in despair and…
