'Chosen by the King'

  My children, many of you are crying out, saying, 'Lord, what is happening to the church. How can we bring in the harvest of souls that You desire when people are terrified not only of what is happening in our world but also in the church? Spiritual Leaders are falling just as Politicians are for horrible things like sex trafficking, grooming children, rape, money laundering, and stealing from the very people they were supposed to serve, and are living a lavish lifestyle on the backs of Believers.' The Lord then answered saying, 'I will answer you, but first you must understand that My Word has already informed you of where My judgment must start, and that is in the House of the Lord.' 1 Peter 4:17 AMPC 17 For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? My children, what I am doing in your day, I have never done ...

  There is a story that many simply pass over because it seems completely crazy, but I have never been able to get this story out of my head, and let me explain why. In the book of Numbers, there is an account of a man named Balaam who is trying to get from one place to another on a donkey. Nothing weird so far, right? People definitely rode donkeys' back in those days. Balaam is a prophet of the Most High God. He is one whom people truly believe can hear from God. Balak, the king of Moab, however, realizes that God's people are powerful because of their God, and he believes that the people will overtake him, so he decides the only way to deal with them is to curse them. He then sends someone to find Balaam and bring him to him so that he can speak to him about cursing God's people. Balaam literally tells them to wait, and he will speak to the Lord. So far, all of this sounds pretty crazy. Why would a man who is close enough to and used by God even contemplate cursing God...

  For millennia, the least of these has been treated as such. Even though the book of Mark clearly shares God's heart for the children. Have you ever been in a church where the little ones are brushed aside? Haven't you ever asked yourself why millions of dollars are spent on church buildings for the comfort of the adults and very little is spent to care for and train up the children? Ask yourself why many churches have a paid staff for the adults and yet the children's church is more times than not made up only of volunteers. What importance do you put on His little ones? Take time to consider even where you give. Are you giving into Ministries that are top-heavy on teaching adults, or are you willingly giving into ministries that need the help even more because they care for the young? I believe that Mark 10 gives us a picture that we need to pay attention to. Mark 10: 13-16 TPT The parents kept bringing their little children to Jesus so that he would lay his hands on t...

 ISN'T IT INTERESTING? Do Not Look to be Served... (8.20.25) The Bible says, Ask and you shall receive, but there is something we shouldn't be asking for. Actually, probably many, but let's just deal with the ask in Mark 10. Mark 10:37 NIV “ Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.” One thing I can't help but think about this question is what if He'd have said yes? Would their next statement have been, 'I want to be on the right, and you can put my brother on the left? The entire ask was wrong. There were other men following Jesus. Why did they even make the attempt at exalting themselves above the others? My point is that I find it interesting that the men Jesus chose were so self-serving from the beginning. This is why Jesus is so amazing. He didn't pick perfect men, and He doesn't get angry with them for asking, although I'm sure the other disciples must have been pretty stunned hearing this. In fact, verse 41 tell...
