We are living this prophecy
John 16:3 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. It was the year 1973. I vividly remember sitting in our enclosed veranda, tapping away on my father’s …
Ungodly church goers
Jude 1:4 For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed—ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Do you find this as shocking as I do? That it is possible for …
The Power of God
1 Cor 16:14 And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead. The Shroud of Turin is an ancient piece of grave cloth with markings on it that resemble the body of a man that has been crucified and then wrapped up in it …

The Circle Dance
Ex 23:14 “Each year you must celebrate three festivals in my honour. When God gave Moses this instruction for the Israelites, He then also clarified what He meant by describing the names and details of the feasts He wanted them to keep. The name He used for ‘Feast’ was the Hebrew word Khag, which Strong’s …
Weaving a tapestry
Esther 5:14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a pole set up, reaching to a height of fifty cubits, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai impaled on it. Then go with the king to the banquet and enjoy yourself.” This suggestion delighted Haman, and he had …
Two storms
1 Peter 1:23 Matthew 14:22, 24 Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side. 24 But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them. Matthew …
