When most people think about curses they have this image of an old hag witch casting a spell against someone, but the Bible paints a very different picture about curse.
According to Scripture, a curse is something that causes misfortune in our lives due to disobedience toward God. Deuteronomy 28 outlines blessings and curses God has placed in motion for those who choose to do His will or not.
What made me revisit this subject was something I read today.

As September comes to a close, I am coming to realize that September was a month of changes…not only for myself…but many others as well.
Today, a friend of mine got married online over on BlogTV. The wedding was so awesome, and they even incorporated elements from the Jewish wedding into the ceremony.
Here is the first video about the wedding of Donny and Dawn…with more to come in the next few days
And I am still in the process of moving. We got some things moved on Saturday, and the... Read Full Story

Today I realized that God is in the process of stripping me.
I have a situation going on in my life, and I am kinda flying blind here. Planning, plotting, forethought….all goes out the window with each passing day. I can’t tell what is going to happen in the next few moments, days or weeks.
This is the type of situation that requires you to let go of trusting in any thing or any one except for God.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing else will get me through this... Read Full Story

I have come to the conclusion that God created us certain ways that are unique so that He can flush out of us everything that is not of Him.
I came to this conclusion because of grief.
Over the past 4 years, I have had to deal with grief that comes through a broken relationship. The relationship was with some people that I love dearly, but some times people go through unexplained changes that leave you hurting and grieving.
At first, I went through “denial... Read Full Story

It’s Sunday morning. Time to play dress up and do the “church” thing….at least that is how I feel.
As I grow in the Lord, I find myself at an awkward place. I am no longer content with “churchiness”. I am no longer content with tradition and ritual and playing a role with mask in place. Sunday morning has become a ritual that Christians are suppose to play, and I am sick of it.
We go to church with fake smiles, sing a couple songs, listen to a couple... Read Full Story

Lately I have been coming to the realization that those called to some ministry function in the Body of Yeshua have a higher “price” to pay. As we step into our gift and calling, we are stripped. Everything that is meaningless, useless, selfish, etc is stripped bared….and the stripping hurts.
Pruning is painful…but necessary.
People with a prophetic gifting are often put through the pruning process more times than others. God wants to remove every... Read Full Story

One of the biggest problems in my walk with God is learning to trust Him. I have been through many things in my lifetime…things that have destroyed my ability to trust. Some times I feel like a puppy who has been so viciously abused that it snaps and snarls at everything and everyone – good or bad. Trust is a foreign concept to me, and it has drawn a wedge between me and God.
The dictionary defines trust as:
reliance on the integrity, strength, ability... Read Full Story

In 1943 Great Britain, when hope and the moral fabric of society were threatened by the relentless inhumanity of global war, an Oxford don was invited to give a series of radio lectures addressing the central issues of Christianity. Over half a century after the original lectures, the topic retains it urgency. Expanded into book form, Mere Christianity never flinches as it sets out a rational basis for Christianity and builds an edifice of compassionate m (more…) Read Full Story

I am not sure why but I felt the need to go back to the Beginning of Things, so I started reading the Book of Genesis. As I was reading the story of Noah and the flood, I got to pondering about some things.
God is terrifying….but where is He?
I mean, God is this all-powerful being who at anytime could wipe out the earth with a blink of His eye….but He chooses to remain silent. In some ways it makes you wonder if God is dead.

When I first felt led by the Lord to start this blog, the Lord said to me, ” Be real…let people see what a real Christian goes through in life. The ups and downs. The heartache and the joys. Be real. No masks.”
Today, is a “being real” day….and it is a day of crying and pain. T
I hurt today, and I don’t understand why all this is happening. I feel like I am groping around in the darkness, and it feels cold and lonely.
O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look... Read Full Story
