  AND DAVID PERCEIVED     Are you a glass, half full… or a glass, half empty type of person? Some may say that it depends on the situation. Some say it depends on how thirsty you are. No matter the rationale behind it all… your PERCEPTION determines your reality. It doesn't matter if it is true, or not… how you PERCEIVE a situation, person, or life condition determines what YOU BELIEVE to be true and real. Marcus Aurelius in his “Meditations” stated, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective , not the truth.”     PERCEPTION is everything!     The Oxford dictionary defines PERCEPTION as, “ the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.”     But what if there is another way to PERCEIVE which brings us into a way of processing life through THE TRUTH , rather that allowing PERCEPTION to define TRUTH ?     2Sam5:12KJV records, “And David P...

  THE WORD IN US   It is very interesting to me how THE WORD of God, Jesus Christ, works IN US. As a seed, it is planted and then brings forth not just the blade..., but the ear... and finally... the full corn in the ear. (Mk4:28NKJV)     1.          REVELATION First, He is revealed to us.  It is the "ah-ha" moment where the light comes on and we somehow see something never seen before.  It is like being born again, something leaps inside you.... you may not understand it all... but... the seed is laid deep in your heart and has begun to change you into HIS likeness and image.     2.          TRANSFIGURATION A clarity and distinction begins as the Word of Truth is rightly divided and it rightly divides you into what is Spirit... and what is just your soul (mind, will, and emotions)... distinquishes what are even just thoughts, and the intents of your heart... and the ...

  WHAT YOU ALLOW   The age old question, “Why would a loving God LET that happen?”, comes from a very confusing perspective of the sovereignty of God.   The Oxford dictionary defines “LET” as: “ NOT prevent or  forbid ”, but, rather… “ ALLOW . ” …as in, "my boss LET me leave early"                                     …or… “who LET the dogs out?” We wonder why He doesn't intervene to prevent evil from happening, but, then again- most people would rather Him not meddle at all and LET us do what we please.   However, in His sovereignty, God gave dominion over everything on the Earth to MAN! (Gen1:26,28)   Yes… Adam fell and forfeited his standing with The Creator of All… BUT… The last Adam, Jesus Christ, RESTORED the grace… the right standing… and the authority to once again rule and h...
