New Freedom

 John 8:36 – “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”


God longs to bring you into a new freedom. Jesus died so you could live in freedom.  The blood of Jesus purchased your freedom from the bondage and slavery of sin.  Sin enslaves, sin dominates, and sin destroys.  When Jesus went to the cross He redeemed us with His own blood from the slavery of sin.  Colossians 1:13-14 says, “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,” In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.” 

There is power in the blood of Jesus to bring freedom. The blood redeems, washes, cleanses, liberates, and gives access.  Hebrews 10:19 reveals, “Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Owen Walton writes, “A revelation of the blood of Jesus and what it has done for you will enable you to be free in your relationship with God, boldly coming to Him and enjoying His presence without any sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation!”[1]

God is calling you into a new identity.  The children of Israel failed to enter into their promised inheritance because they saw the giants, the walls, and the enemy as bigger than God’s promises.  Listen to their words in Numbers 13:27-28, “Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there.”

You will never realize your promised inheritance with the identity of a slave.  A study of the Scriptures will reveal you are opposed by the world, the flesh, and the devil.  We overcome the world through the blood of Jesus.  We put the flesh to death by faith, and you overcome the enemy in the name of Jesus.  Colossians 2:15 says, “Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.”  Jesus gave you this encouraging promise in John 15:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Fourth Month - The Month to See

  In   1 Chronicles 12:32   we learn that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  Like the sons of Issachar, we need to have an understanding of the times.  We are in a time of uncertainty and fear, therefore we need prophetic insight into what God has for us and desires to do in our lives. For some time I have been praying and asking God to give me insight into how He moves in time. The Sons of Issachar were masters of the calendar.  In  Exodus 12:2  the Lord establishes the Hebrew calendar.  “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”  The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover.  This is the calendar that God ordained and introduced in the Bible.  To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a differ...

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...
