Part One
Several years ago I found myself exploring my recorded history and experience of time as I progressed through a 5 mile run around my favorite pristine mountain lake. I was at peace. The crystal clear stillness of the lake seemed to expand my access to Divine mind and higher concepts of the natural and super natural world. As my steps mo... Read More
It is helpful to read scripture for so many reasons. I find it a direct communication with God so often as I look for His encouragement and direction from the words I am reading. It is like the words become active and lively when I am meant to know they are for me, and the promises and guidance become an integrated part of my movement and actions g... Read More
Found in Judges 4 and 5
Here is a beautiful example of how God uses a woman to guide and inspire the battle. The Israelites, having been given direct commands, instructions, and laws to follow, seriously break the rules, and God is angry. They go through a back and forth, defy God, pray to God and plead for help, God sends a "savior" to help wit... Read More
This week we spoke a bit about abortion in class. It came up because we have two really lively spiritual songs that came from movies with two African American women leading the songs who are outspoken on abortion.
The ladies I am referring to are Whoopi Goldberg and Queen Latifah. They claim God did not give any direction on abortion in Scriptur... Read More
In our marathon this week, we had the assignment to restore 12 Principalities.
Principalities are the divine being group, part of the Hosts of Heaven. They do not have wings. They are about 14 feet in height. Their role was to govern on earth. They would watch over the leaders of nations and could guide right choices.
12 Principalities appeared t... Read More
In my research this week, I found where there is scriptural direction on human sexuality. I thought it was of interest, and I am sharing this with you so you can have a reference to the commandments of God. Jesus did not condemn or reinforce alternative sexuality; that was established in Jewish law, but He affirmed marriage between a man and his wi... Read More
As we read scripture, we see throughout the Old Testament God warning us not to worship and serve other gods. We hear that there is a dire consequence if we do. And we learn that God is a “jealous” God.
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.Deuteronomy 4:24
How does that make you feel? What is your immediate response to hav... Read More
Ye shall find Him whenever you shall:
Seek Him with all your heart
With all your soul
In your affliction (Deuteronomy 4, paraphrased)
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me w... Read More
It’s true, we know about the unicorns, and now a talking donkey comes into scripture!
Donkeys play a surprisingly important role in God’s plan on earth.
Jesus and his followers were coming closer to Jerusalem. But first they stopped at Bethphage at the hill called the Mount of Olives. From there Jesus sent two of his followers into town. ... Read More
There is a good deal written about the luminary angel, that is a star in the Book of Enoch (the Book of Heavenly Luminaries, chapters 72–82). Luminaries also include the sun and moon.
I remember reading about misbehaving stars, which I shared in class a few months back.
While the luminaries themselves are celestial objects, the text disting... Read More
Having recently passed Easter and the remembrance of Jesus Christ, Son of God, being sacrificed for the remission of sin, for those who fully embrace and believe in God, Father and Creator of all, we can look back at Mosaic law to see what thus ended.
Throughout the early books of the Bible, we see a constant need for offering and sacrifice. The s... Read More
This morning, I read about the Unicorn in my Septuagint version of the Old Testament. There are 2 references to it as it relates to the story of Balaam speaking with God and reporting back to Balac.
As I looked at these creatures being referred to, at first they looked like a relative of a deer, larger and stronger, perhaps like a moose. They appe... Read More
Last week, while doing my studies in Mosaic law, I read about a detailed procedure for a leper who might be healed. This is covered in 2 chapters of the Bible, Leviticus 13 and 14. All the procedures surrounding lepers and any hope they had of returning to normal society rested with the priest, who would confirm they were healed after a period of t... Read More
In my studies in Leviticus, where the laws of Moses are delivered and all directions of how to do burnt offering, peace offering, and sin offering are given, an interesting short snippet I thought to share.
So there are pages and pages of direction God has explained to Moses, who gives in great and very careful detail to Aaron and his sons on how ... Read More
This is equivalent to Special Ops extraction military work - we are like boots on the ground, in the safest possible way. Nadia
On Thursday evening, as I sat watching Henry play at the pizza playground, I had opened my current read and took in just a couple paragraphs. I found myself reading about a spell casting technique where angel and demon so... Read More
A couple weeks back, I was not feeling well, and my little man was on a theme of “I need” 100x’s over and over. As I was getting his milk and crackers, he was crying and yelling, “I need.” I broke down and yelled, “I don’t feel good, Henry! Stop. I hear you. I need, I need, I need.” And we both had a bit of a meltdown. He got his mi... Read More
