The Jabbok Experience
It is not a simple process because before one can cross, unknown dangers may have to be faced and terrifying battles fought. This is what Jacob discovered. To cross over into Canaan was not just a matter of crossing a stream, because in the darkness a strange and mysterious presence arises. Ancient tales had it that rivers had spirits which had to be defeated before the river could be crossed.

Home of God
Ancient Indian saints and sages realised the divine truth and composed Upanishads which are considered as the fountainhead of spiritualism for the whole mankind. Upanishads proclaim that God resides in all living beings. Since the essence of a being is its soul(atman), God is not different from soul.

Slow Leak
I recently just had 4 new tires put on my mini van but soon
afterwards, I noticed the front passenger tire kept losing air.
Each time air was added to it, it would soon leak out again.
This was a call for action, time to take it back to the garage
and let them tell me what I didn't want to hear. I had run over
a tiny nail somewhere and now my tire was no longer good
as new. But, after a small plug was inserted it is now back
to it's original state, holding air and just like new again. I
realized this is alot like our Christian walk. Is yours leaking?

A New Beginning
Too many days can be spent alone. Too many days can be lost to failure or fear. Too many days can be lost in pity. Finding your meaning and direction in life, living your life purpose, will change that forever.

If You Want Healing Step Out of the Boat
What is keeping us in the boat when it comes to believing in Jesus to heal our body of sickness and disease? We know what it means to “man the oars,” but to step out of the boat in faith that Jesus will heal us is another matter altogether!

The story of Cain and Abel stands very close to 21st century man. For who cannot be exposed to the prevalence of murderous crimes existing in our society and world without occasionally reflecting back upon the first murder?

10 Commandments
I thought I would draw this article up as a reference page in the event any of you would ever need, at a quick glance, exactly what the 10 commandments are. I will actually type out the specific Bible verse the 10 commandments comes off of as God makes some additional statements under some of these commandments that is usually not written down when you see little tablets of the 10 commandments at your local Christian bookstore.

Gracious Forgetfulness
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. --GALATIANS 3:27, RSV
I was thanking the Father today for His mercy. I began listing the sins He’d forgiven. My motives were pure and my heart was thankful, but my understanding of God was wrong. It hit me when I used the word remember.

An Open Invitation
An Open Invitation
“All you who are thirsty, come and drink.”
ISAIAH 55:1, NCV
The most incredible invitations are not found in envelopes; they are found in the Bible. You can’t read about God without finding Him issuing invitations. He invited Eve to marry Adam, the animals to enter the ark, David to be king, Israel to leave bondage, Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem. God is an inviting God. He invited Mary to birth His Son, the disciples to fish for men, the adulterous woman to start over, and Thomas to touch His wounds. God is the King who prepares the place, sets the table, and invites His subjects to come in. In fact, it seems His favorite word is come.

Universal Law Primer
Universal Law is an invisible influence in every individual’s life, whether we realize it or not. It is invisible because we cannot see it anymore than we can see the God who created it. We can see only the evidence of its existence by recognizing its effect on our lives. Universal Law is an expanding and contracting vibration, always in motion. Every soul on every life level is responsible for its own interpretation of the law and chooses if and how the law will be applied within a current lifetime...

Connecting to Spirit
Every soul that is currently experiencing life on any level begins and ends as a whole. Our essence – the very core of our spiritual being – remains One with God. We always have been, and always will be, a part of ‘the whole’ that is the God-consciousness level.
Our soul essence, which began as whole, remains whole throughout the soul growth process, and will still be whole when the growth process has been completed and we no longer leave the whole to pursue our own life studies...
