Nurtured From the Inside Out
“I can’t do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I’m not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders. If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an emp
"I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.” Isaiah 65:1, NIV

Nurture is not a term we often use outside of parents nurturing their children. But, oh
May I speak frankly? There are times that I am pretty darn close to going off grid. Meaning; I would like to disappear and simply wait out my allotted time. It has been a constant choice to 'stay the course' and fulfill the 'expected end' for which I
The longing to belong is very powerful and foundational to our sense of self. But there is an infinitely greater pull –Father’s. He is constantly seeking us out and calling our heart to his! “My son, give me your heart” (Proverbs) When we respond to
Everything in your life is dependent upon my boundless love. Indecisive faith and wavering hope concerning my love will dilute your experience and expression of my abundant life. As a direct result your walk in my Spirit’s fire, power and giftedness
The longer I walk with Jesus; my Elder Brother, Lord and Savior, the more I need strengthening from the inside out! "Out of our innermost being flows the river of life." The flow of life more abundant is always and only from the inside out. It always

"It cost God plenty to get you and me out of that dead-end, empty-headed life we grew up in." Is the price Jesus paid for you and me enough? Do you feel that you need to add your (good intentioned) efforts-kind of like the “Cross of Calvary”, plus y

Our ‘cosmos’ (present world system) parades brand name products before our senses like ‘nobodies business’. Marketing works! The numbers don’t lie. It is incredible how much money ‘branders’ will spend to get our attention and plant their client’s pr

The 3 Dimensional Word!
There is no more delightful fellowship than among empty, hungry, willing believers who seek one another out for no other purpose than to eat Jesus together. This Divine privilege belongs only to the Corporate Body of Christ!

Will those I come in contact with today catch love from me? Will my presence be communicable with love? Will my loving character e
Through the “eyes” of our heart we can experience God-sight. This “spiritual sight” is illumined by faith,
and allows us to “know” that we are seated with Jesus in Father’s lap of love. There we are also invited with Jesus into the opportunity of cont
