Louisiana, The State I’m In

I try not to get overly prideful in our government because even though it's possibly the best on earth, I know it's flaws. I am often thankful and in recent months all the more so to live in the state of Louisiana. The racial protests across our state have taken place but the riots and …

Living Under The Cloud & Fire of God

This is the entirety of Isaiah chapter 4, If you are a member of that remnant, you are already Living Under The Cloud & Fire of God, and have been, "throughout all your journeys." It says "throughout all their journeys" twice, verses 36 & 38 for emphasis. That is the Hebrew language's way of saying, …

Be Anxious For Nothing

Waking up this morning, I had this scripture memory song already playing in my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVUCYho56fY When I first became a "Born Again with God's Spirit" Christian God did something very special to and for me. During a worship service at a White Dove Fellowship in New Orleans, as we were singing all of a …

Seek God 1st, Then “Fear Not”

The scripture of the day from 2 of the 4 Bible apps I follow each day has the same verse. Maybe not a 1st but this certainly doesn't happen very often. From my YouVersion app, Psalm 27:4 KJV One thing have I desired of the Lord , that will I seek after; that I may …

Fear And Obedience Is Like A Hand And Glove

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Psalm 14:1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. …

He Who Has An Ear, Let Him Hear What The Spirit Says

The desire of my heart in writing this blog is first, that the thoughts that spur the subject of them would come from the leading of the Holy Spirit of God. A close second is that what I write would cause non believers or half hearted Christians to realize that God is Very Very Real …

God’s Pop Quizzes

In yesterday's devotional reading in my "MyDaily Bible" app I read James chapter 1.

God’s Gift of Faith, Will You Seek It or Your Own?

Numbers 11:18-20 Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the hearing of the Lord, saying, “Who will give us meat to eat?

Delivered From Bad Things & Places

In my post of Saturday Oct. 5th, I spoke of the “chastisements of our peace” and the “rebukes of life” that are sometimes the work of God acting as any Loving Father does for His children. This post will be to show a completely different side of my Dear Heavenly Father’s recent interactions with me. …

The Wise Accept Constructive Criticism

Yesterday morning my alarm clock rang at 2:30 am and we did like what Peter and six of the remaining disciples did, John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they …

Strength From The Ashes Of Our Ziklags

Worn out by the persecution of Saul, in an evil moment his heart failed him, and he said, “I shall surely fall one day by the hand of Saul.” This was a dangerous mood. Always be afraid of being afraid. Failing faith means failing strength. Do not regard despondency as merely a loss of joy, …

Deception & Truth

How Accurate Is Our Bible?

There are times you may hear someone try to “rationalize” the things written in the Bible and say things like, “well it’s really just a metaphor, or an example to teach us how to live” kinda like the parables Jesus taught. So in other words, if you see what looks like an obvious error, like …

What Is Man? A Triune Being!

Some time ago I read this scripture and thought, there has to be a 3rd (Third) Part because it describes only 2 (Two) locations. 1 John 5: 7-8 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three …

His Eye Is On The Sparrow, I Know He’s Watching Me

I mentioned in the post “God Confirms His Word” Another prayer I pray sometimes is, “Lord please be persistent with me because I know I’m dull of hearing and sometimes You need to draw me a picture so that I don’t miss what you are trying to show me.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPI7WbPyoM8 I’ve said before how usually …

Hope Is A Heavenly Rope, Grab It

https://youtu.be/MPI7WbPyoM8 Hope is a kinda strange Bible word if you think about it. The 1st time it shows up in the Old Testament Hebrew is in the Book of Ruth and not until Luke 6:34 does it show up in the New Testament Greek. Ruth 1:12 KJV  Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for …

Pouring Out The Water
