Scaffolding never stays on a completed structure. When a building is being built cranes, scaffolding, temporary elevators, service roads and temporary utilities are throughout the site, but as the building reaches each state of completeness these temporary things are removed and fall away. God has placed people in our lives to build us up for a season or to break us in order for us to be shaped i n the way that God has intended for us to be in. This is why when God completes a phase of our construction we shouldn't long for the things that brought us there. People, homes, relationships or jobs that shape us were meant for that season until that phase of us is completed. Everyone that is in our lives will not make it to when we are completed. Some people will hurt us and some will love us and build us up, but sometimes they must fall away too. The jobs we lose, the homes we leave and the relationships that don't pan out were meant to transform us and not scar us. The trials w...
But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord ?’ If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message.

What happens is what happens, but what concerns me the most is what I spoke about in a previous blog post. Many, many "major" and "minor" prophets have declared that Donald Trump would be reelected. They have been on TV, YouTube, Facebook, Parler, and many other mediums calling mi...
Haven't posted in here in a long while, but my mind has been turning lately about... Our churches... Sometimes I feel that many are nothing more than modern day Sanhedrin temples full of Pharisees who are only concerned about their building, their members and their reputation. These same churches have a hollow theology that focuses only on prosperity through giving versus restoration through loving. I see music ministries that have people living alternative lifestyles leading them leading "worship" that connects to a lyric and not God's Presence. I see preachers who just HAVE TO preach because they need enough CDs for the box set they wanna push at the church bookstore versus letting God take over and actually heal someone mind, body and spirit. Which also brings me to altar calls where there isn't prayer, healing or prophecy without a microphone being either yelled into by someone praying or in the face of a wounded vessel so that there business gets told to eve...
