The Good Samaritan Experiments
Friday, April 25, 2025
An experiment: You’re driving in your car, you’re on the main road, there’s another line of cars turning into your lane, and the people ahead of you aren’t letting them in. Here’s the experiment. Let the person come in ahead of you. Then look in your rearview mirror to see what happens in back of you. Most likely, the people in back of you will do exactly the same thing and let the next person come in ahead of them. Why? Because people are affected by people, for good or bad… and not just in traffic. The point is, your life counts, your witness makes a difference, your actions touch the world, and impact those around you, even the unsaved. So make a difference. Dare to be different, to go against the system. Don’t do as the others are doing, but be like Messiah. Love your enemies, reach out to the stranger, do good to those who don’t deserve it, bless someone for no other reason but God. Be a light. And the Light of all lights will light up the darkness. It just can’t help it. Impact your world!
From Message #1127 – Freely
Scripture: Matthew 5:7
Today’s Mission – Today, love your enemies, reach out to the stranger, and do good to those who don’t deserve it. Impact your world.
The Mute Button Test
Wednesday, April 23, 2025
If you press the mute button on your remote control, the sound is removed. You would think that this would hide what’s happening – but it can actually be revealing. If you’re watching a video of a liar, and you press mute, you won’t hear the lies anymore, and you’ll start noticing the body language, and signs of the person lying. When you take away the words, there are no words to deceive, just the reality. Many believers talk a good talk. But if you turned on the mute button and cut out the words and just saw their real life, every day, you might see a very different story. What about you? What if you pressed the mute button on your life… no more words… just your real life; where it’s really going and where it’s not? Would it speak of God’s love and life-changing power anyway? Turn on the mute button. Look at your real life. If it doesn’t hold up, make the change you need to make. So that with words or no words it will consistently lift up the name of the Lord… mute button or not.
From Message #1125 – Don’t Look Back
Scripture: Ephesians 5:8
Today’s Mission – Today, turn on the mute button and look at your real life. If it doesn’t hold up, make the change you need to make.

Your “Let There Be”
Monday, April 21, 2025
In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light” and there was light. God created the universe through His Word. Therefore the enemy wars against the Word of God because His Word brings life. But the enemy seeks to bring death, and he does so by attempting to remove God’s Word. That’s what he did in the Garden. And that’s what he does in your life. The enemy is always trying to keep the Word away from your life, from your ears, from your real understanding, from your heart, from your actions, and away from your real day to day, down to earth life. He will try to do that by keeping you away from the Bible, or from hearing the Word, from really receiving it, and putting it into action. So all the more make it your aim to receive the Word that God has for your life, every day of your life, and apply it to action. For in the Word, is a “Let there be” for your life. Get into the Word and let the Word get into you… and it will be so.
From Message #814 – The Dragon’s Mouth
Scripture: Jeremiah 15:16
Today’s Mission – Today, receive the Word that God has for your life and let it become part of you.
How to Avoid a Crash
Friday, April 18, 2025
It was the last day of summer camp. I was ‘going steady’ with a girl named Madge, and we were ‘in love.’ As she was leaving, I was waving goodbye and walking away; waving and walking, looking at her in one direction and walking in the other. I ended up walking straight into a tree. The moral of the story is you can’t walk ahead if you’re looking behind. It’s a spiritual truth as well. If you dwell on the past; what people did to you; how you’re life went or didn’t go; if you hold unforgiveness or grudges, you’ll hinder yourself from moving ahead in your life with the Lord. If you keep on looking back at what people are saying about you, instead of keeping your eyes on the Lord, you won’t move ahead. The Lord is always ahead of you, and that’s where you have to focus. Paul said, “Forgetting what lies behind, I press on…” You do the same. For the Lord is ahead of you. Your calling and the blessings God has for you, are ahead of you. So make that the direction of your life… forward.
From Message #1116 – You’re Being Followed
Scripture: Proverbs 4:25
Today’s Mission – Today, get your focus on the Lord, forget what lies behind, and press on.
Cleaning up Your Mess
Thursday, April 17, 2025
When you were a little child, your parents probably gave you this rule: “If you make a mess, clean it up.” If you messed up your room, you had to clean it up. Why is it that we knew this rule as children, but as adults, we often forget it? It’s Biblical. When Zacchaeus, the corrupt tax collector got saved, he was led by the Spirit to go back to the people he cheated and make it up to them, more than make it up to them. He made a mess, and the grace of God led him to clean it up. God’s grace doesn’t exempt you from cleaning up your messes – Rather, it gives you the power to clean them up. Are there messes in your life? Have you hurt someone, failed someone, cheated someone, or mistreated another? Have you not served the Lord as you should, not been the husband, wife, parent or child you should have been? Those are your messes. By God’s grace and power, clean them up, make them right, and redeem them. For if you make a mess, you clean it up.
From Message #1115 – Children of Abba
Scripture: Matthew 23:26
Today’s Mission – Today, ask the Lord to show you what mess He would like you to clean up. Then get busy cleaning.
The Father’s Embarrassment
Wednesday, April 16, 2025
When my father was a child and his parents took him out to a restaurant, he would sneak off and go to other tables and beg for their food. When my grandparents realized what was happening, they were embarrassed. It made it seem as if they weren’t taking care of their own child. In the same way, when we as God’s children go through life desperate, trying to gain acceptance or love from others, or joy and fulfillment from the world, it’s an embarrassment to our Heavenly Father. What it’s saying is that He doesn’t really provide for His children, so that they have to go begging, and have to live in need. God is a good Father, but we, His children, don’t often realize it. If you’re not rejoicing, you’re embarrassing your Heavenly father. You’re a child of the Most High. That means that no matter what it looks like, you’re blessed, you’re rich, you’re loved, full, and overflowing. The only appropriate response to salvation is joy. So rejoice, and be blessed. Act like a child of the King. Because that’s what you are. Anything else is an embarrassment.
From Message #1114 – The Good Joy
Scripture: Psalm 33:21
Today’s Mission – Today, live every moment as a blessed and beloved child of the King.
The Shekhina’s Departure
Tuesday, April 15, 2025
In Ezekiel 10, the prophet is given an amazing vision. He sees the glory of the Lord going up from the Holy Place, leaving the Temple, going out past the Eastern Gate, up to the Mount of Olives, and then departing from Israel. This was a sign that with God’s presence gone, the Temple of Jerusalem would be destroyed. In the year 586 B.C., it was destroyed. The Second Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. Forty years before the Temple was destroyed Messiah left Jerusalem and this world. And He did it according to the pattern of Ezekiel. He went east of the city, and up to the Mount of Olives. From there He left the earth. Messiah is in the Presence of God. And until He returns, Israel is like that Temple, missing the most important thing. That’s true for us as well… even as believers. If He isn’t the very center of your life, the center of your day, your home, your thoughts, your dreams, and your heart, then things will never be right. Put Messiah in the center of every moment, and His Glory will never depart from your life!
From Message #1112 – The Yoma Mysteries
Scripture: Psalm 51:11
Today’s Mission – Today, put Messiah in the center of every moment and delight in the glory of His presence.
Thirteen Thousand British Soldiers
Monday, April 14, 2025
In 1864, Emperor Tewodros II of Abyssinia imprisoned a representative of the British government named Cameron along with his staff and several missionaries in a mountain fortress called Magdala. When the Emperor refused to release them, a British rescue expedition was launched. It included 13,000 British and Indian soldiers, 26,000 camp followers, and over 40,000 animals including 44 elephants. The entire campaign took several months, crossing hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain. It was described as one of the most expensive rescues in history, for a total cost to the British Empire of about £9,000,000. And yet, the most costly rescue ever sent out for anyone was sent out for you. For God so loved you that He gave His only begotten Son that you would never perish but have everlasting life. There is no higher price than that and no greater love that you can ever know. He gave His life so your life would become worthy. Live your life in a manner worthy of the price given to redeem it; a price even greater than 13,000 British soldiers.
From Message #527 – The Price
Scripture: Ephesians 4:1
Today’s Mission – Today, live your life in a manner worthy of the price given to redeem it.
The Other way to Love
Friday, April 11, 2025
Ephesians 5:25 says, “Husbands love your wives as Messiah loved the church and gave Himself up for her.” It doesn’t say, “husbands love your wives your own way,” because how you love may leave much to be desired. But your love for your wife isn’t based on ‘your love’ or your lack of it. And it’s not dependent on her or how she loves. She isn’t perfect- she makes mistakes, she forgets things, she’s not as young and likely not as beautiful a she once was. Rather, love your wife as Messiah loves you. Chances are you’re not perfect yourself and haven’t been the spotless bride to God you’re called to be. But He loves you anyway, and that’s how you became beautiful. Love your loved one the same way- not as you would love them, but as Messiah loves you. He doesn’t love you because you’re beautiful, He loves you that you might become beautiful. Love others the same way, especially those who are hardest to love, and who knows- your love may help them become beautiful as well.
From Message #436 – Man to Woman
Scripture: Ephesians 5:25-33
Today’s Mission – Today, make a decision to love the one person that is hard for you to love. Don’t look at what they do or don’t do, but love them as Messiah loves you.
But I say to you
Thursday, April 10, 2025
Messiah said, “You have heard it said… but I say to you”. Notice, the first phrase, “You have heard it said,” is speaking of an event that takes place in the third person. It’s said to somebody by someone, somewhere. The second phrase, “But I say unto you,” is said in the first person. It’s not just somebody talking, it’s ‘I AM’ talking personally and directly to you. Messiah is declaring everything you’ve heard that isn’t from His mouth to you is not to you anymore. That means that every hurtful word you’ve heard in your life, words of gloom and evil, even if it was said to you, are no longer to you now in Messiah. Don’t take it personally. It’s now only hearsay, something you hear was said, but it’s no longer to you. But take the Word of God personally. Take His truth, His promises, His comfort, His love, and His calling and no longer treat it as if it was said to somebody else. Take God’s Word as if He was speaking it directly and personally to you, because He is.
From Message #394 – But I Say to You
Scripture: 1 John 2:25
Today’s Mission – Today, take a word from the Word of God and receive it as directly from Messiah, personally given to you.
Messiah in Tears
Wednesday, April 9, 2025
The Hebrew word Immanuel or in English Immanuel is actually a sentence: Im means ‘with,’ anu means ‘us,’ and El means ‘God‘. God is with us. Messiah’s name is not just a name, it’s a Hebrew sentence. Whatever He did in His life, He was ‘God is with us’ doing it. In John 11 it says, “Messiah, wept.” Messiah in sorrow and tears was Immanuel in sorrow and tears. That spells out a message- “God is with us in sorrow and tears.” Having God in your life doesn’t mean you’ll be exempt from sorrow and tears, but it means you’ll never be alone. God will be with you in all things, at all times. Even when you feel far from His presence, His presence is never far. For God is with you in your sorrows and tears. Even in your deepest pain, He will be just as much there as He ever was, and even more so. You will find that if you look, He is there as Immanuel weeping with you and loving you, just beyond your tears.
From Message #351 – Immanuel I
Scripture: Psalm 34:18
Today’s Mission – Spend time in the presence of God today. Be still and know that He is with you in all things.
The Beast in The Cave
Tuesday, April 8, 2025
A young photographer walking in a forest in Maine spotted a cave and decided to photograph what was inside. To reveal what was in the dark, he set up a time exposure. Inside the cave, hidden from his naked eye but revealed by the time exposure, what a huge mountain lion, crouched and ready to attack. If not for the time exposure he wouldn’t have known that his life had come close to death. So it is with you. God tells you to stay away from sin and darkness, but we don’t always listen. Sometimes we play by the mouth of the cave. We play around with lust, idolatry, gossip, worldliness, greed, bitterness, carnality, temptation, sin. But lurking inside every sin is a beast waiting to destroy you. It’s hidden in the dark. But, as in the time exposure, with the passage of time the destruction inside every sin will be exposed. Don’t play around with any sin, don’t hang out by its entrance, give it no room. Renounce the darkness and stay clear of the beast within it.
From Message #1707 – The Serpenthead Principle
Scripture: Proverbs 1:10
Today’s Mission – Make it your aim today to stay far from evil, temptation, and sin. Don’t even go near its door.
The Zebakh
Monday, April 7, 2025
Zebakh is Hebrew for sacrifice. The priests of Israel would offer up daily the zebakh; the sacrificial offerings on the altar of God. They never offered up doctrines, stories, talk, or religion- only sacrifices. As in the days of the temple, our faith centers on a Zebakh; the sacrificial offering of Messiah’s life. God did not offer up a doctrine on Calvary. Thus, the offering of our faith isn’t words, it’s the life of Messiah. Unlike every other religion or philosophy, our faith never consists of just words, doctrines, or even teachings. It consists of an actual life-giving offering. Therefore, your walk must never consist primarily of words, doctrine, or even talk about the Lord. That’s good, but it must consist of the Sacrifice, the Lord Himself, His very life. Thus, the offering you give back to God must likewise never be words but real life on His altar. Leave all the issues and concerns of your life which are beside the point and get back to Calvary. There you will find the Zebakh, the true offering given to you- the very life of God.
From Message #957 – The Vow: The Sacrifice Mysteries I
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:5
Today’s Mission – Go beyond religion and doctrine today and get to the very reality and presence of God.
The Measurable Miracle
Friday, April 4, 2025
Acts 1:3 says Messiah appeared and presented Himself by many convincing proofs. This verse separates our faith from every faith of the ancient world outside of Israel. None of the ancient gods presented themselves with many convincing proofs. But Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth is no myth. He is God come to earth. So He presented Himself with measurable proofs, empirical, tangible, palpable evidence. He appeared after the resurrection and presented many convincing, touchable proofs. If you live in the power of the resurrection, you, too, have to demonstrate it in a very touchable and practical way. Not just once, but with consistency and with many convincing proofs. Show them the power of total change in your life; the power of victory, the power of overcoming, the power of joy over sorrow, forgiveness, and life over death. They want to see it. Show them the tomb is empty. Show them the stone is rolled away in your life and show them that God’s love has conquered all death and darkness and show them with many convincing proofs.
From Message #265 – The Sequel
Scripture: Acts 1:3-9
Today’s Mission – Today, show others that the stone is rolled away in your life by your actions and deeds. Show the world a measurable
The Two Loves of The Father
Wednesday, April 2, 2025
A minister once overheard one of his children admonishing the other saying, “You have to be good, or father won’t love you.” He called his children in and explained, “That isn’t really true. I will love you whether you behave good or bad. When your behavior is good, I’ll love you with a love that makes me glad. But when you behave badly, I’ll love you with a love that hurts me.” If you’re born again, your Heavenly Father’s love is greater, not lesser, than that of an earthly parent. Thus when you do good, God loves you with joy. When you do bad, God still loves you, but He will discipline you. God loves you either way. Let His love overwhelm your failings and His faithfulness overwhelm your lack of it. No matter where or what, His love for you will be deeper than the waters of the sea and higher than the heights of heaven. But rise up from that sin because He loves you, and because every beloved child wants his or her father to smile with joy.
From Message #1414 – Orphans of the Father
Scripture: Proverbs 13:24
Today’s Mission – Today, let His love overwhelm your failings and His
WORD TO THE PRESIDENT
Tuesday, April 1, 2025
Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission…
I’ve been asked about the word I gave to Donald Trump eight days before he was reelected president. Our hope is in no man but God. But God uses man, kings, and leaders for His purposes. In this critical time, we need to pray for God’s purposes to be accomplished. So here now, with minimal editing to fit this page, is that word:
WORD TO THE PRESIDENT
Mr. President, I speak of the mystery of your life. You were born on June 14, 1946. From ages past, it was appointed that on that day a scripture would be recited throughout the world. The scripture that was appointed for the day of your birth spoke of the bringing of God’s vessel – a trumpet into the world. President Trump, you were born into the world to be a trumpet of God – a vessel of the Lord in the hands of God.
God called you according to the template of Jehu, the warrior king. He called Jehu to make his nation great again. Jehu came to the capital city with an agenda to drain the swamp. Jehu forged an alliance with the religious conservatives of the land so it was your destiny to do the same.
Jehu overturned the cult of Baal by which children were sacrificed. So God used you to overturn America’s cult of Baal – Roe versus Wade – by which millions of babies were sacrificed.
If He should now bring you back to the heights of power, it will be for His purposes. It will be the last act and may be America’s last chance of redemption. But for that to happen, you must seek Him with all your heart, follow Him with all your might.
Jehu was born to make his nation great again by turning it back to God – so were you. But America can only be great again if America turns back to God. You are a trumpet of God, and the trumpet can only fulfill its purpose if it’s filled with the breath of the one who holds it up and blows through it. God is the one who lifted you up, and He wills that you be filled with the breath of His Spirit.
God is calling you to go all out for Him, and if you do, then what follows will be the greatest and most glorious part. Then you will be the vessel God uses to bring America back to touch history and to change the world. For the Lord has spoken, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart.” Now, arise and shine for your light is come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. To the glory and in the name above all names, the name of Messiah, Jesus, Yeshua – The light of the world – The Messiah of Israel – The King of all kings, and the only hope America has that it might yet again shine with the light of the fire of the power of the glory of the living God. Amen.
Let us pray this month that God has His way with the president, with America, and the world. And may God greatly bless you this month as you do!
Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,
The Ploughed Life
Monday, March 31, 2025
Plowing is a process of breaking up and turning over the soil. Soil needs plowing so it doesn’t become hard, dry, and unreceptive to growing life. What’s true for soil is also true for your heart. The heart left on its own tends to become hard. The natural effect of time is to make your heart more and more unreceptive to God’s word, His love, and His life. The answer is Spirit plowing. Hosea 10:12 says, “Break up your fallow ground: it’s time to seek the Lord…” Has your walk become dry, or has your heart become hard to His voice? Learn to plow your heart. Plow open your life and your heart, break up your routine, your patterns, your rut, that habit, your daily life. Open up your life to the plowing of the Spirit. Take a day just to seek the Lord and be filled. Let Him break open that crust and turn your life over to receive the wonders of His grace. Break up your fallow ground. It is time to seek the Lord.
From Message #715 – Your Fallow Ground
Scripture: Ezekiel 36:26
Today’s Mission – Today, take time to just seek the Lord and be filled. Open up your life to the plowing of the Spirit.
The Evil of The Righteous
Thursday, March 27, 2025
As children of God, we should know what is right and holy, and what is sin and to be condemned. In looking around us, we see a world filled with sinners- dishonest, materialistic, bitter, prideful, stubborn, sensual, manipulative, abusive, greedy, self-centered… sinners. We feel good that as children of God we’re holy and blameless, but we still have to deal with all these sinners. In Hebrew, the word rasha means sin and evil, but the same world also means to cast judgment. When you cast judgment on people for being more sinful than you or think that you’re more holy, your judgment doesn’t make you more righteous, but more sinful. When you judge other believers or churches for being less spiritual than you are, you just became less spiritual. When you judge that person for not being loving, guess who also just became unloving. The true holy one is the one who keeps no record of sin. Therefore, be pure, be holy, and be innocent. Have nothing to do with ‘rasha’ either way, because those who are blameless are those who do not cast blame.
From Message #549 – None of Your Business
Scripture: Luke 6:37
Today’s Mission – Seek not to judge another today, but walk humbly in God’s presence.
There was no Book of Acts in The Book of Acts
Wednesday, March 26, 2025
What was it like to live inside the Book of Acts? For the people of the Book of Acts, there was no Book of Acts, just acts. It hadn’t been recorded yet. It wasn’t a book. It wasn’t something they just read about, or talked about, or studied, it was something they lived. The Book of Acts is not about the Book of Acts. It’s about the acts of the Holy Spirit and the acts of the Apostles. If you’re a follower of Messiah, God wants you to see the same miracles, victories, wonder, power, and the same incredible changes that the Apostles saw in the Book of Acts. But for that to happen, you have to really believe; you have to take the words off the pages and put them into real life. You have to act, because for the people in the Book of Acts, it wasn’t a book. The people of the Book of Acts didn’t read the Book of Acts, they lived it. You do the same today, and the Book of Acts will become your life and your life the Book of Acts.

The Chaldean Comic
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
Have you seen any Hittite or Amorite comedians lately? Have you consulted with a Chaldean injury lawyer, gone to an Akkadian doctor or a Babylonian dentist? No? Why not? These are the people of the ancient world, the great peoples of antiquity. You can read about them, you can go to a museum and see their writings and images on stone tablets, but none of these peoples made it into modern history. The Jewish people are just as ancient as the Babylonians. They should only be images on museum tablets, not doctors who treat your illnesses or comedians on television. But God promised He’d preserve them as His witnesses and so that they would receive their Messiah and usher in the redemption of the world. So whenever you see a Jewish person in flesh and blood, know that you’re seeing a miracle. Let it remind you that God is real, He lives, and His promises are true. So you be strong in your faith. Rejoice in God and know Messiah is coming.
From Message #39 – That You Might Know
Scripture: Romans 15:8
Today’s Mission – Spend time rejoicing in God today in the knowledge that Messiah is coming!
Shimon The Young
Monday, March 24, 2025
Luke tells of a man named Simeon, or Shimon in Hebrew. He was a remarkable man. Simeon was old. Most older people are looking for peace and quiet. Generally, we do our seeking when we’re younger, then we just try to hold on to what we have when we’re older. But Shimon was still seeking, still looking for what the prophets spoke of, the consolation of Israel. It is one thing to seek when you’re young, but one who seeks even to the end of his life never grows old; that was Shimon’s secret. Thus God rewarded him and before he left this life, his eyes beheld what others missed: the Messiah as a baby in the Temple. Messiah said, “Seek, and you shall find.” But the original reads a little differently. It says, “Keep seeking, and you shall find.” Keep seeking. Do you want to stay young in the Lord? Be like Shimon. Keep seeking God’s face, keep seeking His presence, keep seeking His love, and keep seeking His wonders and His glory. Keep seeking, and you’ll find. Keep seeking, and you’ll never grow old.
From Message #598 – The Old Man in the Temple
Scripture: Psalm 105:4
Today’s Mission – Today, keep seeking God’s face, His presence, His love, His wonders, and His glory.
The Year of Double Blessing
Friday, March 21, 2025
Shannah is the Hebrew word for year. It comes from the Hebrew ‘shnay’ ‘Shnay’ means ‘two,’ but can also be translated as ‘the doubling.’ For in Hebrew a year is supposed to be a doubling… an increase. Peter wrote that the qualities of God in your life must be increasing. It’s not enough just to go from day to day, week to week, month to month, year to year. You have to increase. For every year is a ‘Shannah,’ an increase, a doubling. What will you do with this year? Don’t seek to just get through the year. Seek to increase in what is good. This year, your love, joy, peace, faith, strength, and confidence must increase, and not only increase, but double. The Lord doesn’t just give us joy, He doubles it. He doesn’t just give us love, He doubles it. He said, “I came that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” So don’t worry about what the year will bring. It’s a ‘shannah.’ Use it correctly, and you’ll not only have life, but you’ll have it more abundantly. In fact, you’ll have it double.
From Message #433 – The Shannah
Scripture: Isaiah 61:7
Today’s Mission – Make it your aim not just to go through this day, but use this day to grow in the Spirit, in love, and in righteousness.
The Miracle In The Bread Box
Wednesday, March 19, 2025
Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough in your life; enough money, enough time, enough affection, or enough anything? The Lord’s Prayer says, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Do you have daily bread? You’ve probably got more than just daily bread. Chances are you have enough for the week. You may have bread enough for a few weeks. But the Bible says to pray for just daily bread. Thus daily bread is sufficient for your life. Anything beyond daily bread is extra. So if you have daily bread, consider yourself blessed. Many people don’t have even that much. But if you have bread beyond the day, then you’ve got more than enough; you’re more than blessed. Get back to the basics. If you’re saved, and you have daily bread, you’re beyond blessed. Start giving thanks for what you have, and you’ll have joy, you’ll have enough. Give thanks for all the blessings, and you’ll have more than enough. You don’t need to go any farther to find out if you’re blessed than your kitchen bread box.
From Message #888 – Extra
Scripture: Ecclesiates 5:18
Today’s Mission – Today, give thanks for your daily bread and give thanks for everything else as extra.
Heaven’s Enclave
Thursday, March 20, 2025
Philippians 3:20 says, “For our citizenship is in heaven from where we also wait for a savior.” The Greek word behind the word citizenship specifically referred to a colony of people living according to the laws of their native country outside their native country. So even though they weren’t home, they were living as if they were. What this reveals is that you are citizen of heaven, not earth. Heaven is your native land. And even though you are not presently living there, you are to be living on earth as if you were living in heaven – not ultimately subject to the laws of this world, but according to the laws of heaven. This is an incredible truth – You don’t have to be bound any more by the laws of this world, the laws of sin and death, guilt, failure, frustration, anger, regret, or fear. You don’t have to submit to any bondage. You are not of this world. Live by laws of heaven, the ways of heaven, the rights of heaven, the privileges of heaven, and the freedom of heaven. For you are a citizen of heaven!
From Message #482 – As It Is In Heaven
Scripture: Romans 8:7
Today’s Mission – Today, choose to live unbound by the laws of the flesh, and of sin and death, but live by the laws of heaven.
The Interruption of Heaven
Friday, March 14, 2025
Few people like commotion, trouble, or change. We seek peace, situations of no commotion. But if you really want a place where there’s no commotion, go to a cemetery. That which is dead does not cause any commotion. But light coming into darkness causes commotion. So the life of God coming into a dead world is going to cause commotion. When Messiah came into the world, He created a stir. When He came into Jerusalem, He caused a commotion. God’s presence causes commotion. If He’s come into your life, then there’s got to be commotion. Don’t seek to walk a commotion-free walk, or to live a commotion-free life. It will end up dead! Rather, what you need is something to get stirred up and get turned over a little bit. Let God interrupt your routine, let Him shake you out of it. Fix your eyes on God. Forget the rut, and forget the routine. Let the presence of God come fresh in your life. Let it cause a commotion! Stir it up! Because God wants to bring the cemetery in your life… to life!
From Message #526 – A Holy Commotion
Scripture: Revelation 3:2
Today’s Mission – Today, seek to be especially open to be interrupted by God’s voice, God’s leading, and God’s purposes. Let your day be stirred up by His presence.
The Day of Completion
Wednesday, March 12, 2025
God finished the work of creation on the sixth day, then rested on the seventh, the Sabbath. The sixth day is the day when work is completed. Two-thousand years ago, God again labored on the sixth day… on the cross. On the Hebrew calendar, the sixth day comes to an end as the sun sets. So it was then that Messiah finished His work, Friday afternoon, just as the sun was going down. Why? Because the sixth day is the day when one’s work must be finished. So on the cross, He said, “It is finished.” Then He rested. What does this have to do with you? Most people live in a state of incompleteness, a state that is never finished, never enough, and always needing more. But Messiah labored on the sixth day so He could finish all that is unfinished. He died to give you the gift of completion. Find your completion in Him. Take the unfinished issues of your life and bring them to the cross and say, ‘It is finished.’ Then you, as did Messiah, can likewise enter into the blessings of the seventh day.
From Message #125 – The Sixth and Seventh Day
Scripture: Revelation 21:6
Today’s Mission – Today, cease striving and rest in your completion in His complete work.

The Merging of Baal
Tuesday, March 11, 2025
Baal was a Canaanite god that competed with the Lord Yehovah. Archeologists have found ancient pottery in Israel that reveals that the ancient Israelites joined together Jehovah with Baal as the same god. They merged the two into one. So one of the greatest dangers for God’s people isn’t the overt worship of other gods, but the joining of Jehovah to Baal; the joining of the Lord to other gods. Many ministers start out serving God but end up serving success. Many ministries start out serving the Great Commission but end up serving the god of money. Others confuse God with prosperity, power, status, blessing, and success. You can’t serve God and other things, other gods. Purify your walk. Purify your goal. Purify your motives and your heart. Breakaway from serving a mixed god and come back to the God of your salvation. Because your walk is too precious to be wasting it by serving Baal in disguise.
From Message #937 – The God of a Thousand Faces
Scripture: Luke 11:36
Today’s Mission – Examine your goals and motives today and seek to act, move, and live out of pure motives and a pure heart for God’s will and purposes.
