We all have enemies. We all have people who have wronged us, and it is so easy to be bitter against them. But I never could understand until now why God admonishes us to pray for our enemies.
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and [...]
The origin of the sons and daughters of God transcends any place here on earth. These soon to be revealed princes and princesses of God are actually strangers to earth. Earth is not their home. They are sojourners and pilgrims during their earthbound travels. Their roots go back to the beginning, locked deep down [...]
In the last post we saw that the Creator has a will that will prevail. His will is His desire or His wish for His creation, humankind. Humans are strongwilled; most desire things for number one. And their number one usually is not God, although it should be. If we have any other desire for what is to happen in our [...]
Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne of Great Britain, believed that he was in that position and has prepared himself for it. Most future monarchs do just that. They take their station in life seriously and prepare themselves to rule. And so should the sons and daughters of God, His princes [...]
Belief is the distinguishing characteristic of the sons and daughters of God. They will just flat out believe God and His word. Period. They will rip off the shroud of doubt that lays like a suffocating blanket of death over their own hearts, and they will shout, “No! He’s alive! In me! He is risen in [...]
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” So goes the wise proverb. But it is not just any vision for our lives that ultimately rescues us. It is the vision that our Creator has for us that will serve as the spiritual Rock and Foundation upon which to build our lives.
His vision [...]
We who have been born from above have become the “children of God” or the sons and daughters of God. For we “have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15). And we know that our Father is the “King of glory.” And we know that the sons and daughters [...]
“Love from above–down and through” has turned into my motto or credo. Some may wonder where I got it from.
Human beings have one major need: to be loved, especially someone who can give them sincere, pure “love from above.” The love I’m talking about is agape love, or God’s love. And so we humans [...]
Yes, we as God’s children, as His spiritual offspring, as His mortal heirs of all that He has, is, or ever shall be–yes, we are walking down a long road to get to his Celestial City.
And it is a tough, lonely road at times, fraught with danger and temptation. Our great poet/prophet/King David [...]
Upon coming to the stark realization that we have been duped and deceived–especially in the deeper matters of the heart–we tend to throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water. How could I have been such a fool? we ask ourselves, and then we turn our back on the offending entity.
Burned by [...]
