Beyond Belief

January 29, 2021 /

Hey everyone how is it going? I have just finished a second 3 day period of water only fasting. And just like the last one from 2 weeks ago the awareness comes the next day. These fasts were challenging, but not as hard as I thought they would be. Fore instance, today I was watching someone on youtube and I noticed a video of an old song. It was a remake of Petra’s Beyond Belief. It was clear that it was a covid production. Sections done separately and put together. But this time I was listening to the lyrics more closely. I have since googled the lyrics and wrote them down.

These lyrics are so for today. “We’re content to pitch our tent. When the glory evident. Seldom do we know the glory came and went.” How often do we find ourselves in one spot not moving forward with God. Just there in our spot hoping for it to come back. Because this is where we are comfortable. This is why it is so important to pray and stay in God’s presence.

“Moving can seem dangerous, in this strangers pilgrimage. Knowing that you can’t stand still, you cross the bridge.” Is it unknown, sure. yet we need to move forward with God. Right after this it goes to the chorus where it talks about a higher place to go. Where we reach the next plateau. From faith to faith we grow. Towards the center of the flow. Where He beckons us to go. Leap of faith without a net. That’s faith right there. We don’t always know what or where or even when. We just need to go. Its not always going to look comfortable. But this is how we grow. Stretching us to cause us to be more dependent on God. We all have asked for an increase in faith. Why aren’t we willing to take action to get that increase. Its not going to just appear. There is a cost. Waters never part until our feet are wet. Its action. We need to move out it order for it to happen.

“There’s a deeper place to go. Where the road seems hard to hoe. He who begun this work won’t let it go. (let it go).”It’s not going to be easy, but we have to try. Or it won’t happen.

So here we are today looking at a song done in the late 80’s or early 90’s that applies to us today. We can’t go back to the time before Covid. If we do we have failed. God is moving forward and we need to also. Right now that move is to bring correction to the church. We as a church have gotten comfortable with where we are. Our comfort has gotten us to the point of picking and choosing which verse’s we like and don’t like. If we don’t like it we don’t listen to it. We csay its not of God. Because God is Love, Grace and Mercy. Forgetting that God is True, Just, Jealous and Righteous. How much of your prayer time is spent in repentance? All the garbage, sin and walls in our life will make it harder to grow. We are hindering the Holy Spirit from truly working in our lives. We become comfortable.

If you want to see revival in the Church or a restoration of our Country then we need to follow scripture. Its found in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We know this one. Its been mentioned quite a bit lately. Yet we still don’t go there. Why? Get rid of pride and humble yourself. Do this regularly and watch your spiritual life change. You may find yourself hearing God more clearly.

Be blessed, Ken

Humble and Contrite

January 6, 2021 /

Hey everyone, Its been some time since I last wrote on this blog. Today I am sharing a word the Lord gave me last month. So here it is. “My people, there are many that speak my Word. But only a few have I given it to. My Word is true in season and out of season. The humble and contrite of heart carry my Word. In them I will give boldness to speak forth. They shall speak life to that which is dead. Death to that which is sin. The proud already have their reward. Speak forth my Word. It carries with it both healing and witness. Show forth my light for it will expose those who try to remain hidden. My Light brings warmth and Love. With these I send you out. There where you walk will be Holy Ground. Consecrated in my name. Blessed are those who carry out my Word.”

If we start with the first part we will notice a warning. Today there are many who speak forth prophecy that God did not give. It may not be wrong just their motives. They want to be noticed. There are some televangelists and tele-prophets who are accurate. We need to discern which is which. That is done by taking it before our Lord. Pray over it.

Prophecy is either fore telling or forth telling. Fore telling is the future and forth telling is now. Prophecy will also be supported by scripture. God’s “Word” is also a reference it the Bible. It is never wrong. So, as we go on God says the humble and contrite will do His bidding. They are less likely to keep the credit and glory for themselves. Obedience is generally found in them. The proud God opposes. Hence the have their reward. A couple fleeting moments here on earth rather than rewards built up in Heaven.

The next part talks of what His word does and what His light will do. Followed by God taking back His land. Then of course the blessing to those who are obedient. To go back a moment to the humble part. I will say that being bold is not proud or overconfident. Its not elevating yourself above others. In this manner its about having courage to speak God’s Word. Its about being obedient to Him who has given us life and life more abundant. There is no time now to worry about hurting ones feelings by speaking and sharing God’s Word. If they are offended then I would say you are in the right moment. These are the people who really need to hear it. Will you be persecuted for this? The answer is YES. But that is going to happen whether you speak or not. If you identify as one of God’s children then they will persecute you. If they don’t know that you are His child, then you need to spend more time in prayer. For in His word it tells us that if deny God then He will deny us. I personally want to hear “well done” rather than “go away.”

To some being bold will be easy to others not so. It just means we need to work at it a little bit more. Practice going out with someone sharing His Word. So for now we need to start being bold for God.

Be blessed, Ken
