There was a large yellow dancing duck

What is amazing is that there is very little sharing of intimacy with Jesus, Father or Spirit.

What is usually talked about is what scripture says, communicates or teaches but little of heartfelt relationship as experienced in our daily lives.  It appears that we have relegated Jesus to positional truths rather than enjoying Him as an intimate friend.

If we talked about our children, spouse, or those we call companions in the same manner as we do Jesus, it would be questionable…

Whoever said that big boys don't cry You say you never shed a tear Well, listen that's a lie

We're all defenseless

When it comes to pain

I said boys and girls alike yeah,

We're all the same

When I was sharing that message from Ravenhill, I explained that his writings had truly impacted my walk of faith in the area of prayer. Oh, I am not an expert in prayer and I have no allusions that I am another "<em>Ravenhill</em>," or anything. Like I have shared, he was known to pray for 6 hours every day. Now whether that was completely accurate or not I don't know, sometimes claims like that tend to get exaggerated. I mean in my own life I am fortunate to pray 15 minutes a…

My phone rings constantly, "I'm going to move here, I'm going to move there. Do you know a church that really is on fire for God? A church where they have all night prayer meetings?" No church should function these days without a whole night prayer meeting. What do you want . . . social standing? Do you just want numbers of people? Do you want to fill the pews?

Paul Koffman went to Nagaland, India, to see what happened and expected something like Finney. When he got there he saw all kinds of signs and wonders and miracles: cripples were healed, blind people were able to see, every distorted, perverted thing was put right. So what? Well, did you ever hear about a revival where the government began an…

Hello all, I am looking for a place that I can have some fellowship. I do not currently have a place were I can get this (i.e. a church). I would like a place were I can share and share bck. I am currently working in a place that Highly discourages any type of sharing. I am here because I asked the Lord 2 years ago for help when the economy started to go bad. My job at that time was in a serious time of decay, so it was in their best intrest to remove me. So, I needed work and this is where…

Weeping Between the Porch and The Altar (pt 3) Leonard Ravenhill (1907–1994)

We feel a little nervous these days of talking about human depravity. Well, heaven knows, there has never been as much depravity around as we have today. Look at the iniquity that was on the earth when the prophet Elijah came on the scene. The nation was in bondage to idolatry, and impurity, and infidelity, and indifference. It is my…
