The REAL Good News of the Gospel

Do you know the good news of the Gospel?

The real good news?

Surprisingly, many people who consider themselves to be believers or Christians don’t actually know the real good news. At least, not to the extent that Jesus wants them to.

Because the real good news… the real Gospel… is scandalous. It’s outrageous. And in today’s world, it is even offensive to some.

But, that’s what makes it the Gospel - which in and of itself means “nearly too good to be true news.” Except it is… true.

And Jesus wants to make sure you know it.

Do You Have Oil For Your Lamp?

Recently, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper the words, "kerosene lamp."

Of course, my mind obviously went right away to the parable of the ten virgins (although, He had more to say about it too... I'll get into that first).

Take the Risk

TAKE THE RISK.

That’s what Pastor Mike Todd spoke at the end of his “Racial Reconciliation” sermon. But, it wasn’t his voice that I heard in my spirit. It was HIS voice - God’s.

Our society today is all about everyone throwing their opinion out there on a moment’s notice and I didn’t feel adding mine to the mix would make any difference.

It's Both!

In the past few weeks, I have seen something coming up again and again on social media in “Christian circles.” I tried to ignore it or at least not actively engage in it. But then, the Holy Spirit prompted me that this IS one of the things that needs to be addressed.

This conflict/argument/face-off between two sides in the prophetic world. And let me just say before I go any further, this applies to the WHOLE Body of Christ, not just those involved in the prophetic. So, don’t stop reading even if you don’t consider prophecy “your thing.”

Who Are You Bowing To? (Spiritual Eyes to See)

Now, RIGHT NOW, is when many of God’s people are standing in front of a giant. Right now, everything we’ve ever talked about and sang about is being tested. Right now, there is a choice to be made. Do we believe God and His word? Or do we believe what we see and what the world is telling us?

Right now, we have a chance to shine. To stand out. To be SET APART from the world. Right now, we have the opportunity to demonstrate the peace, hope, strength, authority and FREEDOM that come with being in Christ. Not in theory, in REALITY.
