What do you “see” when you think of God the Father? Do you have a picture of Him? Do you see Jesus or is He sort of separate? What is this Trinity-doctrine with which the theologians shape our God-concept? Stay with me in these chapters of Exodus; in this most dramatic scene that will shape…

72. Words of blood for my future.
Oh, the uncertainty, the dread, the misty outlook, the hesitant gaze upon a path covered in the fog of the time span called the future. To us it is not revealed; to God it is known. Like death, the future is a mystery belonging to God. “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to…
71. Come out – where are you?
Are you with me? Way, way back when the story of the Bible began, let us walk with Adam and Eve into the well-known disaster describing the birth of all destruction and devastation. Twisting the magnificence and glory in God’s promise of bounty and beauty, Satan sows doubt in Eve’s thinking and make her think…
70. Only rumours …or firsthand?
There is another principle to prayer that we often overlook. God initiates prayer. Not us. He speaks to get the exchange going. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Every time the words “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” occur in the New Testament, Jesus…
69. Because He said so.
Prayer is a wonderful, ongoing learning experience. I would like to learn until that moment I know I am in His presence. In the meantime I want to live life in His kingdom IN His manifest presence so that I can be used to the life IN Him. From the very first moment, I would…
68. Words that change the world.
Welcome to a short series on prayer. It is such a privilege to share some thoughts on the subject of prayer. I would like to emphasize that what is written here could never be comprehensive or complete. Prayer is the golden thread that brings every good thing and every true promise into our grasp. Let…
52. Sudden silence – the intense instance of prayer.
[Revelation 8] We can pause for a moment and think of the sounds in heaven. They are very pronounced and accompany the vision in every instance. John describes the voice of God like the sound of many waters, the angels with trumpets, the new song, the worship of innumerable saints, the voices of the martyrs…
49. Your destiny is written
[Revelation 5] The world today has more information available at our fingertips than ever in history. Google has become a verb. A verb is the active word in a sentence, the word that works and Google works hard. Just “google” it – one would say, to remember the movie name that slipped your mind, the…
48. After the Cross – the Lion and the Lamb.
[Revelation 5] Our heavenly journey continues. It is sometimes complicated to think ourselves out of time. I struggle to grasp the full implication of God’s perspective outside our “prison” of time. He sees all of history in one moment, our birth and death and whole life in between. I have often thought that this single…
9. That ancient chat
Words brought the world into existence, words flung the stars into space; words spoke the light into being and set the oceans their boundaries. Then God formed man from the dust, the woman from the man and spoke a blessing over them to give them authority over all things. Genesis 1:28: God blessed them and…
