And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's. It is holy to the LORD. (Leviticus 27:30 NKJV) The number ten appears repeatedly in Scripture in association with testing, or completion, or judgment. Now we see that Lord revealing … Continue reading Revive the Tithe: TEN!

Contend for the Supernatural: We Are Connected
Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ's body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. (Romans 12:4-5 NLT) The Church is not a place you go, or a club you join. The Church is the … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: We Are Connected
Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Let's pray, Friend! I don’t like unspoken prayer requests. That’s odd, I know, but I find it hard to pray for something if I don’t know what it is. Prayer is based on faith. To pray in faith, to be in agreement, I need to know what I’m praying for. If I don’t know what … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays
You are Christ's body--that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything. (1 Corinthians 12:27 MSG) As many times as we have heard it, it's still true: Every believer has a part in the Body of Christ. In fact, every one … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays
De la Abundancia del Corazon
En Espíritu y en verdad, Amigo. Años atrás, en los 1980’s cuando por primera vez asistía a una Iglesia carismática, me sorprendió el estilo que tenían para adorar, más que eso, note una intensidad y una participación a la que no estaba acostumbrado. Eso me llamo mi atención, la prioridad en la Iglesia es adorar … Continue reading De la Abundancia del Corazon
Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Building People of Substance for Works of Power OK, Friend, let's do this! Many years ago, in my desperation to stop drinking, I stumbled into a 12 Step meeting. At the end of the discussion, we all stood, held hands, and recited the Lord’s Prayer. Though I had not been in church for a very … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Revive the Tithe: New Covenant…Eternal Priest
But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for He is the One who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises. (Hebrews 8:6 NLT) Under the Law of Moses, the Levitical priesthood received the tithe. Under the … Continue reading Revive the Tithe: New Covenant…Eternal Priest
Sunday Blessing: Combine Your Faith
"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:19-20 NKJV)
Out of the Abundance of the Heart
In spirit and truth, Amigos. Back in 1980 when I first attended a Charismatic church, I was taken aback by the style of worship. More than that, I noticed an intensity and participation that I was not used to. Those things attracted me. The first priority of the Church is to worship the Lord. We … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart
Contend for the Supernatural: Granola Cometh
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 NKJV) One of the reasons that even Pentecostal people eventually back away from the things of the Spirit is in reaction to bizarre behaviors and doctrinal issues that come … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Granola Cometh
