From the time we begin our journey until the day we breathe our last breath the word of God says, “. . . there is a season and a time of purpose for every thing”. I’ll be a thing if it has to do with the will of God concerning me. How about you? Whether it’s 120 years (Gen 6:3), 70-80 years (Ps 90:10), or just a few...

To everything there is a season, a special occasion for which something is brought forth. There is a time, a “now” or a “when” for every purpose – pleasure, desire, valuable thing, a matter of the mind. For Noah it was to build an arc to save his family. For Abraham it was to become the father of many nations. For...

The Holy Ghost was sent, meaning, He’s already IN the EARTH and supposedly IN US (you and I). When we hear the Word of God being preached or taught it’s more than saying, “Amen”; and being excited, there’s an application process that follows our vocality. Catch the Word spoken to you and apply it; how do...

According to Gideon, his family (thousand) was poor (low, weak, thin), of the weakest clan (Manasseh), and he was the least (youngest, little or insignificant). Right after he questions the Lord about where are the miracles and being forsaken, he then goes into the excuse mode of why he’s not able to do what God is calling him to do (see...

After seven years of being raided and victimized by the Midianites (strife, contention), God sends His Angel to visit a man from the tribe of Manasseh (Joseph’s firstborn-made to forget) by the name of Gideon (destroyer, mighty warrior, hewer-one who cuts down, feller-tree cutter). Gideon himself, now fed up with the enemy raids, has taken...

I’ve heard Pastor Rod Parsley say time and again, “If the anointing is tangible then it is transferable.” Abraham to Isaac, Isaac to Jacob, Jacob to Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh), Elijah to Elisha (double portion), Elisha’s bones to the soldier (II Kings 13:21), Jesus to the twelve and the seventy, Jesus to the woman with...

What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed (see Gen 32:27, 28). Name change: Jacob had passed the test, God had made a prince out of a deceiver, which resulted in a new man, with a new name.

It was a turning point in his life that changed his perspective of God and the way he lived. The place where he stood was the house of God and became the gate of Heaven. God’s House is the Gate – Gateway – to Heaven. Jacob honored that moment and place by taking the stone he slept on, anointing it with oil, and set it up for a...

One of the blessings of the maturation process in the Kingdom is that you move on to greater and better things. The writer in Hebrews says it this way, “Therefore let us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that...

You’ve probably heard the phrase, “ you’re so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good .” I’m not sure who coined the phrase but the opposite could be true as well, “ you’re so earthly minded, you’re no heavenly good .” Both pertain to the state of the believer and neither...
