  Spiritual Renewal Deuteronomy 13:4  “ Ye shall walk after the  Lord  your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him . ”      Interesting that all of Deuteronomy chapter thirteen talks about the false prophet or ones trying to lead God’s chosen away from Him.   Of course, God’s commandment is to ‘Kill ‘em.   Kill ‘em all!”   Well, not quite like that but He is explicative.      If someone sneaks in and causes the division away or if someone within does the same, “Off with the head!”   Even if a family member.   Let you be the first to throw the stone.      We are as babes.   We are as sheep needing a   shepherd.   We lack our own guidance so we hang off His Word.   God is a jealous God for the affection of His little ones.   A Father of fathers is He.   So, even in the twenty-fi...

  God At Our Core Numbers 20: 10  “ And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? 11  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice : and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. 12  And the  Lord  spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. ”      I am no sailor.   I know little about ships, yet the understanding is this.   Within a ship is a ballast.   At the lowest part above the keel, weight is put to stabilize the ship in rough waters.   It lowers the ship’s center of gravity and sets it in the water.   The ballast is crucial to the ship’s erection. God addressed the core t...

  Ghosting Isn’t New Romans 16: 17  “ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18  For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. ”      A cold wall of silence isn’t fair?   Depends if you act as a child and use abandonment as a weapon.   But, in this case, Paul addresses the church to nearly cut off the ones who habitually speak with a divided tongue.   In another instance, he tells to confront a divisive person once, then twice, then expulse them from the church if they refuse to stop.   Wow!   Sounds drastic.      God is a drastic God.   He feverishly protects His own.   To touch them is to touch the apple of His eye.   God violently comes to the aid of children suffering.   So He sp...

  Love Conquers All? 1 Corinthians 13      Shamanism is no small thing.   It is an underlying plague that snakes through our society.   Convinced the spirit world can indeed influence, its patrons so delve into the darkness on purpose or by accident.   Like mistakenly finding a new power, its subjects fall into a discipleship type of relationship.   With continued confluence, a body merges with another power.   So enticed are these spirits by the offer of seduction, they cannot help but become involved.   See, it is their job as a rebellion of misfit wanderers.      When one slips to the natural lack of discernment in given spiritual matters, he or she runs the risk of demonic control.   “Throwing a fit?   I just lost my head?   I don’t know what come over me.”   Ever heard these words?   These are evidences of the unseen.      Sure, there is the flesh.   ...

  Where’s Waldo?      Today I saw a mental image.   I saw a man in an auditorium.   He was standing at his seat.   He looked through binoculars, sweeping left and right.   The stage curtain was drawn back.   Jesus’ throne was brought to center stage.   It was covered with a sheet.      The man continued to look through binoculars, yet he was a small distance from the throne.   He did not see the sheet-covered throne.      Suddenly the sheet was pulled off and light shown forth.   The man fell back in his seat and almost melted.      Has the evolutionary lie so disguised Jesus’ throne of creation, that the natural man cannot see?   The lie convinces the man, through binoculars of time, the truth will be revealed.      Curiously, the man had a beanie hat like Waldo.   But sad.

Phillipians 1 Continued Phillipians 1: 12 – 19        At Radiant Life Community Church in Sioux City, Iowa on June 9, 2024, this message was given by Micaih Cvrk to those in attendance. Paul is in a Roman prison.      We all get into places we do not want to be sometimes.  Then we ask ourselves, “Why are we doing what we do?”  In short, what gets us out of bed in the morning?  Is it the cup of coffee or the whining dog?  Are we launched into the day by a bunch of ‘have to’s’? or do we have a good list of the ‘want to’s”?      Paul was a self-starter.  Surely waking each morning in confinement only to see the gruel of the day didn’t get his engine revved.  He did not wait for his needs to be met before he could self-actualize.  Paul took his mission to the cell with him.  Outside the Church needed him.  He was under house arrest, but he had a plan.   ...

  The More I Read Isaiah 43 Luke 12 Matthew 24      I wish that I could give some new revelation concerning the times in which we live and the ones to come. Fairly settled am I.   We are in the Church Age as kicked off by Pentecost.   The next great thing we are waiting for is Christ’s return.   The Rapture revelation is relatively new, as of the 1800’s?   Doesn’t mean it is not right.   Just new.      I do believe God reveals Himself incrementally.   Ephesians talks of the manifold wisdom of God being let out like accordion folds.   He hides mysteries and unveils them in due time to spur man’s understanding.   They drive courses of action.      God has a linear timeline.   Certain events will occur.   We, as Mankind, bounce about this axis obeying the upper and lower control limits.   He will not let the process run out of control. He is God.   He tak...
