Change is the Only Constant

on December 14, 2011 · 2 Comments

I’m not sure always thinking about the future is the best way to live, but as long as do what God has for me to do today I knows the plans I make are guided by the steps He directs. I’m excited for RevTrev.com in 2012. I’ll tell you why in a little bit. I’m also excited about what God seems to be doing in other parts of my life. I’ll share those things with you in time. I suppose [...] Read more »

Should We Tithe From Our Net Income or Gross Income?

on December 8, 2011 · 2 Comments

Here’s another question from a reader of my newsletter. I know I’ve recently changed my mind on all of this so I welcome your comments and questions. Iron sharpens iron. Question: Pastor I really need your help because I have a burning question which I need you to answer me. After discovering that tithing is a very serious issue and should not be compromised I decided to check if I have been tithing properly. The question: Should we tithe [...] Read more »

Does Prophecy Just Happen or Do We Have to Work For It?

on December 5, 2011 · 3 Comments

Here’s another question from a reader of my newsletter. I’d appreciate having your thoughts on it. Question: I have a question about discernment of a True prophet vs False prophet. I was recently told if a prophet speak a word to you, you are responsible for working to bring it to pass. It confused me because the Bible states when a true prophet speak it will come to pass. Why would we make that word come to pass and [...] Read more »

When Everything Looks Great…Only To You

on November 30, 2011 ·

The slider in the header I’ll change to go to landing pages for main topics I blog about. The tabbed widget on the left gives me a lot more white space even though it doesn’t work so well on any other page but the front one. The main [...] Read more »

7 Things I’m Thankful For…

on November 23, 2011 · 4 Comments

I’ve had this continual thought: “You need to be thankful” confronting me at the weirdest times. Knowing I’d be reminding myself as I remind my readers to be thankful, I decided to make it the topic of this week’s newsletter. Then as I listened to the market report I was reminded tomorrow is American Thanksgiving. (We have a shorter growing season in Canada and so celebrate ours the second Monday in October.) HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my American readers. Have [...] Read more »

What Does In Jesus’ Name mean?

on September 23, 2011 ·

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. John 14:13 (New Living Translation) You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. John 15:16 (New Living Translation) At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you [...] Read more »

Our Job is to Enforce Christ’s Victory

on September 21, 2011 ·

How do we use the authority we have in Christ? It comes from two phrases that need to be more than words. These aren’t a magic incantation to ward off evil. They are truth whose implication needs to be worked out into every area of our lives. We enforce Christ’s victory by His name and by His blood. We’ll start by looking at what it means to pray in the name of Jesus next post. Find out more at HopeInTransition.com [...] Read more »

7 Things That Changed at the Cross

on September 19, 2011 · 7 Comments

It is really amazing to consider what was accomplished at the cross. It’s even more amazing to work it out in every area of your life. Here’s a quick overview of some of the highlights for me. I can’t say this is an exhaustive list, but I see 7 things changed at the cross. At the Cross: 1. Guilt was removed For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that [...] Read more »

Our Battle is Not Against Flesh and Blood

on September 16, 2011 · 3 Comments

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (New International Version) We live in a world that was once the enemies. Jesus won the battle at the cross and made friends again with everything that was [...] Read more »

Hope Attacks

on September 12, 2011 ·

He led David down, and there they were, scattered over the countryside, eating, drinking and reveling because of the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from Judah. 1 Samuel 30:16 (NIV) David and his men met up with an Egyptian slave who led them to the Almalekites. They saw them partying up because of the plunder they took. David attacked and slaughtered almost all of them. You’re going to need to fight [...] Read more »

The Path of Peace is Not the Path of Least Resistance

on September 9, 2011 ·

How many of you know it’s in the DNA of every man to be the one who comes to the rescue? We need to be the one who saves the day. Especially in the eyes of our wives and kids, we must be the hero. So what happens when all we can do is watch the baggage? We do what we can and wait patiently for hope to be actualized. Paul says us we have to be patient with hope: [...] Read more »

The Path of Peace is Not the Most Reasonable Path

on September 7, 2011 ·

Wouldn’t it make more sense for David to wait for his fighting force to recover? The Amalakites where a larger force and they were slowed down with all the plunder. Every man had a stake in the fight and every extra sword would undoubtably be appreciated. But David had inquired of the Lord and asked what he was to do. He set off to do what he could with the resources he had. The path of peace is moving the [...] Read more »

Hope Does what it Can

on September 5, 2011 ·

David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Ravine, where some stayed behind, for two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the ravine. But David and four hundred men continued the pursuit. 1 Samuel 30:9-10 One third of David’s men were too tired to continue on. Does that mean they didn’t have hope? No. They did what they could. Once you’ve cried, avoided bitterness, inquired of God, refocused on the promise, you need to do [...] Read more »

Why Should I Declare God’s Promises?

on September 2, 2011 · 2 Comments

There is something about agreeing with God’s will with our words and actions. Some people will say, “It creates a convergence in the quantum field.” That may be true, but there may be another more Biblical explanation. Consider the role of angels: Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. Hebrews 1:14 (New Living Translation) These Spirit-beings are hear to help us. And the exciting thing is, they listen for the commands of the [...] Read more »

Declare the Promises of Scripture

on August 31, 2011 ·

The second key to refocusing when you need to hope at the end of the rope is to declare the promises of Scripture. Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a [...] Read more »
