Casting Cares on Life Support

Casting Cares on Life Support

Are you under a lot of stress? The answer came out more quickly than I anticipated, and a dam broke as the tears followed suit. I wanted to grab the yes proceeding from my lips and shove it back down deep inside where no one except God knew how weak I had become. Normally, I would reserve my moments of weakness to the confines of my home and in the quiet alone with the Lord and my thoughts. It is…

Narcigesis in the Red Sea

Narcigesis in the Red Sea

The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground. And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. And the Egyptians shall…

The Resolution of a Lifetime

The Resolution of a Lifetime

Resolved, to improve every opportunity, when I am in the best and happiest frame of mind, to cast and venture my soul on the Lord Jesus Christ, to trust and confide in him, and consecrate myself wholly to him; that from this I may have assurance of my safety, knowing that I confide in my Redeemer. Jonathan Edwards.  July 8, 1723. Hands down, one of the few resolutions I have completed in the time established happened at the end of…

Faith and Life Lessons in 2021

Faith and Life Lessons in 2021

While reflecting on personal growth this year and things that have taken place in life, I am coming away with joy in the Lord while being challenged in the midst of my weaknesses to press on and to set my eyes on Jesus Christ. This year has held unexpected moments, many of those were trying, difficult, and full of uncertainty. The uncertainty was not in the Lord, but in what lay ahead. I do not want to paint a grim…

Beaten, Bleating, and Bleeding: The Path Forward From Spiritual Abuse

Beaten, Bleating, and Bleeding: The Path Forward From Spiritual Abuse

It was a year ago in October that I came out publicly repenting for my time as a false prophet and over the past year, I have received numerous emails from people sharing their personal stories of coming out of specific movements, particularly the NAR/ hyper Charismatic church. It has been both comforting and heartbreaking to realize the island you landed on is also inhabited by others. We are not to be an island unto ourselves. At the same time,…

A Prophetic Spider Reveals Bad Theology

A Prophetic Spider Reveals Bad Theology

One of the most dangerous things you can do as a Christian is determine your theology by your experience. R.C. Sproul “For those in ministry who are experiencing spiritual attacks and witchcraft, I want to tell you that one reason this is happening is because you have disturbed the enemy’s structure. You have disturbed the web with the authentic presence of God. You have not been moved by fear despite the warning of that red hourglass by the enemy. You…

As the Deep Calls out for Answers

As the Deep Calls out for Answers

Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me. Psalm 42:7 ESV For the longest time, Psalm 42:7 was lost on me, and I didn’t even know it. I had taken this verse to mean something it was not saying, that the depths in me called out to the depths of God within me. How poetic, right? Not really. I had never read it in context. I had never…

Ever Interceding for Us

Ever Interceding for Us

Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Romans 8:33-34 Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25 The most sorrowful news one could hear in this world apart…

Humility in Hindsight

Humility in Hindsight

“If you ask, ‘Why is this happening?’ no light may come, but if you ask, ‘How am I to glorify God now?’ there will always be an answer.” J.I. Packer Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you. James 4:10 The saying goes that hindsight is 20/20. It seems rather poetic to have such insight having come out of 2020. This month marks two years for me since the fateful events transpired that led to my departure from…

He Is Not Jealous for Me

He Is Not Jealous for Me

You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:5,6 ESV For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14…
