Perception, Part 2

And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?  Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to hear? And do you not remember? — Mark 8: 17-18 While at…

Perception, Part 1

A few days ago, I read of King David perceiving, finally, who he really was.  God had already spoken to him of what his destiny was to be, and his circumstances had already dramatically shifted to his favor.  Regardless, his own understanding of who he was, his perception being enlightened of his true reality was…

The Hour Is At Hand

Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand.”  — Matthew 25: 45-46 Jesus tells the disciples…

Nine O’clock

April dreamed last month of a clock face reading nine o’clock.  She found that nine means visitation & deliverance. We claimed both in Jesus’ name. She researched the number nine further. The ninth hour is the beginning of the second watch, from nine to midnight, the darkest watch.  When she dreamed, we were in the…

Daniel Boyd

One night last week I dreamed.  I was at Dad’s house.  It was nighttime. I was in the front room, and the house was bigger than in reality.  I was with the group of people who were preparing for a Christmas party.  Kids riding on a parade float stopped in front of the house.  The…

Bring Him What You Are

Surveying the Earth

I got out of bed to go to the bathroom at 6:56 a.m. recently.  As I walked through the bedroom, I thought 6:56 could be a chapter and verses.  Zechariah came to mind again by time I made it back to the bedroom.  I went back to sleep.  I looked up Zech. 6: 5-6 when…

The Verizon Squeeze

Last Friday morning, I made an error in making a past due payment on our Verizon account.  I paid the whole bill, which we couldn’t afford, instead of the past due amount only.  Its hamstrung our finances.  Its prompted prayers and cries for mercy in light of an error from a lack of attention to…

Going Home

I worked until 10 p.m. one night recently.  As my shift was nearing its end, and I washed the prep room floor, one of my colleagues from a nearby department came in the room.  He looked for me to inflate balloons for a customer without saying a word.  We provide that service, and he had…
