Apples and Trees part 3

When we know where we came from, we know who we are. In the natural that can be good, or bad, or probably a bit of both. But in the Spiritual knowing where we came from means knowing that we come from God. From love. Look at John 1:3, "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing...

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Because a seed can only produce after its own kind. That's why its so vitally important for us to know where we come from. To understand our roots. And, listen, I'm talking about the natural here... but even more so I'm talking about the Spiritual. Because...

Anytime I notice similarities between parents and their children you can bet I'll raise and eyebrow and say, "Apples and trees, man. Apples and trees." Because while I do believe that your environment does have a lot to say as far as molding you... well... let me say it this way: "The land produced...

Love--the kind of unselfish, completely selfless, sacrificial love that IS the God who is love--seems way too good to be true. I mean, in this day and age it seems like people won't even accept a compliment without looking for an ulterior motive. Its like the world has beaten us down to the point...

Its all about receiving and releasing. Receiving BY releasing. That's what Jesus was talking about in John 13:34, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." Because we can't love each other until we know and believe that God...

If you let it, God's love will ravish you. With even one glimpse into the grace in His eyes He will enclose you. Transport you. Carry you away to, well, let me say it like this: From hell to heaven. From death to life. But, like a seed, we need to make sure God's love is planted in good soil. And...

We saw yesterday--in Proverbs 5:19--that we are to be ravished always with love. And when I looked that word up in Strong's Hebrew Concordance I got a little bit of a surprise. Because it is number 7686 and it means, "to stray, to mistake, to transgress; by extension to reel, be enraptured." And I...

There are a lot of interesting questions in the Bible. And some of them even get answered. Like Luke 3:10-11, "And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do...

Mind Over Matter part 5

When you let the mind of Christ (that's already in you) be in you--by using it--that's when the cares of the world don't seem to matter as much. Let me say it another way, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). And...

What you give power to is what has power in your life. Because love is all powerful. So any power anywhere else comes from you giving it away. Which is why I can't really understand why we make mountains out of molehills so often. Its like the old saying, "Don't tell God how big the storm is......
