As I was meditating on these passages, the phrase, "YOUR WALLS” are ever before me" jumped out at me. I began to see solid and cracked walls in the same picture. I saw them as spiritual walls -unseen to the natural eye. He said, "You can have both kinds at the same time -good and bad, cracked and solid". At first, I didn’t get it. I looked for "walls" (in Holman's Dictionary), which led me to architecture where it spoke about the public and private walls in the kingdom. In scripture, the natural is always a type and shadow of the spiritual. I suddenly saw where He was going with the train of thought. The solid walls were built through fear. The cracked and broken ones were from failed relationships. << MORE >>

Have you ever heard someone say, "I really got bent out of shape" as they shared an incident that ended in an emotional outburst. What does that mean and why did it happen? At some point, we are going to discuss the other possibilities behind these episodes. Listen with your heart you may see yourself. Most of us quote the King James Version of Prov 22:6, however the translation missed the deeper meaning in its translation. Train up a child in the way he is bent or gifted. << MORE >>

The Teacher, The Farmer and The Baby Corn One day I was thinking about the heart of the Father. It is so awesome that He works with and teaches each of us individually. We are so different. I see different books touting the proper way to raise children, but without the Holy Spirit teaching us, we cannot succeed at anything. This book was stirring in my heart when I found those passages. It says that the LORD almighty is a wonderful teacher -He gives the farmer great wisdom. I will not go into the fullness of the revelation, except to say, the Lord compared a child to a “good seed” sown into a field. If the child is born to be corn, it should be raised to be corn. Ask the Father what your child is. We cannot treat or teach everyone in the same way. This book follows the principles in these passages. << MORE >>

The song, “Time Is On My Side” has kept playing in my spirit, not the one by the Rolling Stones but the one by Jesus, the Cornerstone. Lately I have been thinking more and more about TIME, especially because of the dreams that I had at the end of 2005. I grew one year older in December, then came the New Year. However, what I am sensing has much more to do with the spiritual realm of time than the natural. Most of us can sense that TIME is indeed on a collision course with ETERNITY. For those in the kingdom this can seem bittersweet. We look around us and see so many lost and hurting people. << MORE >>

Stepping Into Time Imagine for a moment that all of eternity is represented by a large piece of paper. This is where God is: unlimited by time and space. Now draw a line on that piece of paper that represents time with a beginning and an end. This line begins when God instituted time at creation, and it will end when God says, "Time's up!" Man lives on the line, while God can step in and out of time according to His purposes and plans. God sees all of time at once and doesn't have to wait for anything to happen; all is present for Him. This is a simplified explanation of a complex idea, but it works. << MORE >>

Recently, the Lord brought this Word Picture back to my attention. A few days later, I was studying the dynamics of attachments and separation. I saw the pain and dysfunction that resulted from a sense of disconnectedness, which can come through many avenues. Reconnect to Your Father When a baby is conceived in the heart (womb) of God, it is immediately the offspring of its Maker (who is both its Father and Mother). << MORE >>

Requires connection and relationship We are going to look at some Word Pictures that illustrate synchronization at its best. Some will be simple and self-explanatory; others show more of the process. In all of the examples, it is clear to see that it requires relationship. In our conversation here, we are talking about two relationships –one is vertical and ant the other is horizontal. We will explore three relationships that illustrate synchronization –dance partners, the birthing process and learning to know your vehicle. << MORE >>

Lately, people have been asking me about how to perform self-directed inner healing. The people asking are settled Christians who are familiar with inner healing principles, so the following tips are designed with them in mind. I pray these guidelines will be helpful. When a bad fruit is presenting in your life, set aside some time and enter the presence of the Lord by faith. Ask some questions about that fruit. << MORE >>

I contacted Sue Bowman as a result of some posts that she had on some forums that Arthur Burk has going on his site. I felt a kindred spirit with her. When we began talking about another subject, I discovered a wealth of treasure in her in the area of inner healing. This series of suggestions, teachings, or nuggets ensued from a conversation about one of my friends and me. You can join with me now as I share: << MORE >>

Once when I was suffering from muscle spasms, a doctor told me that pain could become a cycle. He asked me if I was following the prescription. I told him I did not like to take prescription drugs (pain killers and muscle relaxants); I viewed it as a sign of weakness; as soon as I experienced some tolerable level of relief, I would skip the next dosage. He said, “But you don’t understand how your body and pain begin to work in partnership to cause a cycle. Over an extended period, your body can become accustomed to sending the pain signals whether or not it still has a reliable source. Taking the medication “as prescribed” serves to “break that cycle”. << MORE >>
