  DUE SEASON   The Word of God is not only “the sword of the Spirit" (Eph6:17), but it is also called “THE SEED” (Mt13:22; Mk4:14).   THE SEED always has the power within itself to reproduce after its own kind.  For instance, an apple seed produces, not just apples, but a TREE that produces a crop of apples.   What crop do you want in your life? Then you plant THE SEED of the type of crop you desire.   Do you want things of the Spirit of God in your life? …then plant the WORD of God… THE SEED that will produce and keep producing the desired fruit.   Gal6:8AMP “For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”   “Does the farmer plow continually to plant seed? Does he continually turn and harrow the ground? Does he not level its surface And sow dill and scatter cummin And pl...

  FIVE FOLD FULL HOUSE     For years I would go to Denominational Pastors Conferences, Ministerial Meetings, City Pastoral Breakfasts and many other caucuses of the “spiritual minds” in any given region.   Even though these gatherings were purposed to bring the Body of Christ together, an underlying current was still bringing the divisive flow which has kept us separated from the beginning.   We would all pass around our business, ministry, or title cards as though we are playing poker… with Apostles high and Prophets wild… and if you are holding all FIVE-FOLD in your church… you have a FULL HOUSE !   Being a “lay person” was like playing with just the common numbers… …THE COMMON FOLK.             …you don't win often. The strongest play was when you are among the CLERGY … the ROYALTY … the FACE CARDS … the ones with the strongest personality and demonstratively showy gift or “...

  THE SINNER’S PRAYER   I once knew an elderly lady who was very hardened… blunt and gruff. Having spent most of her life in and around the rough newspaper business with her father, she had no great trust in anyone or anything. Something had happened and she was placed in a hospice care facility… not expected to last long. Figuring this was my last opportunity to “get her born again” I dropped in for a visit. I pulled out all the familiar witnessing approaches… which were brushed off with all the polite language of an old sailor. When the conversation was turned to “a loving Heavenly Father”, she countered with how stern and unyielding her own father was and the harshness of her upbringing in the Catholic Church... …and she had no use for a God always watching for us to step out of line. She finally stated that she had done so much evil in her life that it was hopeless to think God would ever forgive, let alone receive HER.   At the end of all my arsenal, I simply blurted...

  BREAKING WIND   Have you ever felt like God called you to do something or desired for you to “birth something into the Earth? You just knew that He told you to start that ministry… build that church… initiate those meetings… establish that new thing – whatever it is? The problem is… it has become a struggle. Isa43:18-19NKJV "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do A NEW THING , Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it?”   Hmmmm… a NEW THING …                   …something I have never seen before…                                     …I don't know how it looks… how it moves… how it functions… the blueprint, nor the pattern… let alone how to assemble any part of it....
