Smallest Seed

The I AM was how God introduced himself to the Israelites in the Old Testament. God told Moses to tell Pharaoh that His name was, "I AM who I AM."  Jesus did the same thing in the Gospel. He revealed that "Before Abraham was, I AM," to the chagrin of his hearers, prodding them to stone him. But he got away. Photo above by  JOHN TOWNER on Unsplash . In the Gospel, he did several I AM declarations: I am the Bread of Life I am the Light of this world I am the Resurrection and the Life I am the Gate I am the Door I am the Good Shepherd I am the True Vine I am He I am the Way, the Truth and the Life (you cannot separate these 3) However, these revelations are mere head knowledge until they're EXPERIENCED. I'm sure we all know Jesus as the Way, Truth and Life, aside from his other claims. I'd even dare say that probably most people out there in the streets know this. But knowing without experiencing is nothing. It's not that experience is the best teacher

It's NOT pampering in any sense. Pastoring is leading the flock home after letting it stroll out the pen for a while. Period. No more, no less. That's according to Jesus, our Master. It's definitely not how a lot of pastors do it today, which is pampering . They find out what their church members want or need and carefully make sure they give it to them. So ministry is need-driven (and member-centered), not anymore Spirit-led and Christ-centered. Photo above by Conscious Design on Unsplash . Jesus is the Shepherd and we are appointed as shepherds [1 Peter 5]. And the principle of shepherding in John 10 is that the sheep listen to his voice , not the other way around (it's not Jesus listening to our voice and following us). Neither is it the pastor listening to his members' needs. Pastoring is about minding God's interests alone, not ours or the church members'. Pastors should focus on this. We feed and care for the flock by teaching them to hear and obey H

Miracles and supernatural powers are all from God, and without Him nothing is possible. But to a certain degree God has relegated that power to believers. It's up to us how we use it and when. He has given us the freedom to create options suited to our situation. Photo by Sabrinna Ringquist on Unsplash . It's called the Signet Ring Principle of the Kingdom. God gives us his signet ring in Christ to do as we please as far as promoting his Kingdom on earth is concerned. In his words, Jesus declared, "According to your faith it will be done to you." So our faith is given complete leeway to do everything we think and feel is needed to make known Jesus as LORD, and that faith will be backed up by Heaven 100 percent. Problem is, we do not use this privilege. We prefer our human ways and efforts in ministry. Remember Mordecai being given King Xerxes' signet ring to use as he pleased to save the Jews? It works that way. Xerxes told him to issue laws and edicts as he plea

What power do they have? That's the apostle Paul's measure for authenticity. Some in Corinth seemed to question his apostleship, favoring Apollos over him. But these detractors were all talk--they could argue with high-sounding words and probably used scholarly theologies to refute Paul's teachings. But Paul said talk is nothing in the Kingdom. Zero. Photo by Lopez Robin on Unsplash . "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power," he said. So he wanted to go to Corinth and find out   "not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have." Kingdom is about demonstrating supernatural power. The church should go back to this and not waste time on human theology and titles and degrees on it. The church should desperately seek after supernatural revelation from the Holy Spirit that results to supernatural power. For an important spiritual help, click below: CLICK HERE!

For sure there will be a great deception in these end times orchestrated by the Beast and the False Prophet mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The aim is to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. It is clearly directed against the church, first and foremost, then to the world at large. Photo by Taras Chernus on Unsplash . Elsewhere in the bible we are given hints of how this will happen. Like what Jesus said about wolves in sheep's clothing. And the wide road to destruction. Some people will claim they are the Christ, or the Christ is "there" or "here," and lead many astray. However, no details are given on how this can take place effectively.  I mean, we know for a fact that Christ is in heaven and won't come back till the Second Coming. So how can Christians be deceived with the idea that he is already here? Satan will do it right inside the church. In fact, the deception was introduced even long before and is in progress now. He's using peo

A lot of believers online are trying to sound confident about the development of cured Covid cases, and I celebrate with them. In fact, lockdown policies would be moderated in some parts. This is welcome news. There's an increase in the number of patients surviving. Who wouldn't want to see Covid finally gone? But there are whispers about a second wave. [Picture by Nuno Alberto, Unsplash]. I believe God showed me a mental vision of how the church is now being pushed to a corner and gradually given no other option but to seek refuge in God's supernatural ways and power to solve the Covid crisis. Believe it or not, the ending of Covid is in the hands of the church--it depends on whether church would succumb to God's power or rely on what man could do. What Jesus Would Do I mean, even church today relies on the government for protection against Covid 19. Just imagine Christ seeking medical protection and food supplies or ayuda from Pilate's government because

The Covid crisis (especially the lockdown and the second wave) is going to force the church in a corner where it has no choice but to tap on heaven's supernatural resources. I hope I'm wrong, but some prophets say a second, deadlier wave is on the way. And if so, we're in for a really tough ride, I mean the church.  Photo by James Kovin on Unsplash . The thing is, we should get the message loud and clear now and not wait for a second wave to happen. God wants the church to get out of the Babylon system (worldly ways, man's efforts and denominationalism) and join Him in his supernatural move today, before the end comes. God's agenda is the total restoration of what he has given us before Jesus returns. God has given the church awesome authority, powers, spiritual gifts and supernatural abilities that not even angels and devils have seen since the beginning of time. But church in its incredible stubbornness just trashed all that and preferred it's own ways a
