I’m in debt to Bill Johnson for giving me biblical words to express how we need to relate to God when things happen that just don’t make sense in light of His nature or character. John the Baptist declared the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, knowing the anointed one would release the prisoners. But then he sat in prison and doubt started to set in. He sent his disciples to ask his cousin if [...] Read more »

How I Hear the Father Speak to Me
Unless you’re taking a test and the Teacher is silent, the Father is always speaking. It’s up to us to learn how He’s speaking in this season, or else we may just miss it. Job 33:14 says – For God speaks time and again but a person may not notice it. Why is it so important for us to notice what the Father says? First, it confirms we are His. My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they [...] Read more »

Will our focus [...] Read more »
Do I Need to Forgive the Father? – Day 28

For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you. Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye [...] Read more »
Forgiving the Father
I’ve often been asked if anyone ever needs to forgive God. That language makes me uncomfortable. Forgiveness is giving up our right for revenge. It’s putting the other into the hands of God. It’s His to avenge. He’s the one to repay. How can we put God in His own hands? How could we ever take revenge against God? However, forgiveness is also agreeing to live with the consequences of another’s action or inaction. That could mean we may need [...] Read more »
