I see people crying out everyday for love, for relationship that touches their inmost parts and then living in complete turmoil, pain, and confusion. Growing numb to their routine and hoping in their hearts something will change. All of this proves God’s words true.
Proverbs 19:22 says, “What a person desires is unfailing love.”
The Believer’s Manifesto (Cheyenne: GooseBear Press, 2018)
Elevate the mundane and manifest dreams into reality.
The Believer’s Manifesto equips the believer to use God’s word and their tongue to bring His Kingdom to earth. Jesus exchanged what we hate for everything we love. What Jesus did is truly breath-taking when you stop to ponder it. He took our rags. He took our messed-up life. He took our curse. He took everything we do not want and in return He gave us everything He has. We have His right standing with God. The sin that so easily entangles and drains us of life is what He took on Himself, so He could give life as God intended.
Words are the hallmark of humanity. We use them to communicate with the world around us. We use them to create a green house or a frozen tundra where we attempt to nurture our future. Words allow us to form intimate relationships that shape our lives. Words also shape our silent relationship within ourselves. Words have the power of life or death (Proverbs 18:21).
The Believer’s Manifesto gives practical, anointed, powerful training in the use our tongue to Speak words of truth and begin to harvest the loving, good, future God has intended. You are designed to see what the world cannot see. God is revealing His good future for believers willing to seek first His Kingdom.
With Christ in you, now, nothing is impossible.
“Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs.”
Jonah 2:8
I love the story of Jonah for a myriad of reasons. It is a memorable story to start with, but what I am drawn to is the greatest revival the world, at that time, had ever experienced. Over 120,000 people turned to God and avoided judgment. The most amazing thing about the whole story though is that Jonah did not once tell the people to repent. Not one time. For three days, he walked through Nineveh proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” (more…)
“Our greatest fear should not be failing, but rather succeeding at things that don’t really matter…”
– Francis Chan
I think we can all relate to the struggle we face dividing our time and not letting our schedule dictate our lives. I am convinced the easiest and simplest tactic of darkness is to simply distract us with being busy so we do not invest in what brings us life and glorifies our Father in heaven. There are thousands of great ideas, but we hunger for God ideas. (more…)
You need to find a bad church. I listen to Christian teachers and read Christian books all of the time. I love Jesus and want to know Him better. I recently listened to a very well-respected, loved, mainstream evangelical pastor deliver a great teaching and close with, “find a good church.” I thought that must mean there are “bad” churches. 
I am not talking about cults or quacks. The inference here is that there are Christian churches that believe in basically the exact same thing yet we view as “bad.” This is our code language that strengthens the division in His body. “Christianese” for other churches are repulsive: “find a good church” or “find a healthy church.” Which ones are sick or bad? And why don’t we talk about it? It’s the elephant in the room of Christendom.
You can be the most talented race car driver of all time. You can have the fastest car. During the race if you pull over and change your own tires and fill your fuel yourself then you are going to lose the race. You can take elite driving
classes. You can tune up the car. But that’s not the problem. You need help to win. This is a picture of the church today. Our Pastors are pouring themselves out to win the race but getting further and further behind because they need help.
God has ordained help.
Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13
