When we are not using our minds to more fully UNDERSTAND the things that G-d teaches, we have no recourse except to live out our days according to our ‘lower nature’ – that is, our flesh made from mere dust and its wavering, destructive emotions. These alone will be our ‘guides’. They become the little ‘g’ gods we […]

‘It is Written’
Just because we ‘have’ The Holy Spirit of G-d does not mean we live by The Holy Spirit of G-d. To LIVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT is to LIVE in submission to The Seven-fold Spirit of G-d Who produces a DIVINE NINE described Fruit (Galatians 5). To CHOOSE to live otherwise, as a nominal ‘believer’, […]
The Space of Doubt (BLOT IT OUT)
Who among us is always looking for someone else to blame? Have you considered WHY that is? Let us LOOK INSIDE! ALL the problems of humanity started with one TRANSGRESSED BOUNDARY. The Garden of Eden (‘Boundaries of Delight’) was delightful because boundaries of the Most High were respected and protected, and UNITY (Oneness) prevailed. What […]
‘Gifted’ or GRACED to SERVE?
Believer, G-d has GIFTED you with His Spirit and GRACED you with a divine mission! When I first became a ‘believer’, I was unsure about what exactly to BELIEVE. Just as the word ‘follower’ is a bit ambiguous as well, I wasn’t following very well either! SINCERE DEVOTION to G-d’s Word AND to G-d’s People […]
Whose VOICE will She AGREE with?
In Genesis 2:18-22, ADONAI G-d PREPARED Woman to ‘understand’ herself and her calling that she may be bold and equipped to BUILD His Kingdom. The word used when making Woman is ‘BANAH’ – ‘The rib which ADONAI G-d had taken from the person, He BANAH ISHAH’ (Gen. 2:22).’ BANAH literally means ‘TO BUILD’. It is the […]
Wisdom Calls, Understanding Gives (Vision!)
Images in our heads are so important! The Holy One wants to put Holy Images of Instruction into our minds to be victorious over all other images. When we look at something enough times, we begin to accept it. And then we agree with it. Eventually we approve of it AND WILL ADVANCE IT. That is to say, WHATEVER IMAGES […]

123 Americans a Day Commit Suicide
Kate Spade. Anthony Bourdain. Today, 123 AMERICANS will commit suicide. Heaven forbid. The remedy for suicide prevention, whether it’s slow or immediate, is H.O.P.E. We all get sad, lonely and depressed at times. But for some of us, the days can carry a deep darkness like a canopy has been permanently draped over our lives. […]
Just Do It = VICTORY
We KEEP ourselves enslaved when we RESIST the HELP of G-d’s Spirit of Truth – in the form of a Text or a Person. Your VICTORY is at stake… WHY are you RESISTING His HELP? Do you understand the Truth behind ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock’? THIS is a message to […]
Who’s Training Who…and for What?
It’s important that I write this testimonial word of encouragement to our women. Who has signed up for skills training? What is Skills Training and why would I want to take the time to do it? I mean, is it really all that necessary? Titus 2:3-5 Tree of Life Version (TLV) 3 Likewise, older women are to […]
