“EXPERIENCING SPIRITUAL ENCOUNTERS” by ‘anonymous’      It’s important to acknowledge that we are focusing on encountering Jesus. His Presence is the key. It is what we seek after and the rest follows. We get lost in His Presence with thanksgiving, appreciation, and gratitude and He sovereignly takes over. We don’t have to make anything happen. He […]

“GRATITUDE—A CHOSEN STATE OF BEING” by Karen A Roth “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more.

“RESTORE” by Dickey Porter My wife and I recently had about 3 days vacation at the beach. I think it may have been our first vacation to the beach alone. Maybe one other time, we went to the beach over 20 years ago without our children, but I don’t know that for sure. We arrived […]

“NAVIGATING THE RIVER” by Roger Roth Sr. In leading a church or in following God, as in the biblical example, it is like navigating a river. We need to learn to let the river, like the Spirit, lead and carry us to our destination. There are twists and turns and rapids and whirlpools and long […]

Question, Are We Connected To The Source? by David Roberts Across the nation, even the casual observer can easily notice hundreds of church buildings with cemeteries.

Kingdom Living:   “Run This Way”, by Julius Sims Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.  Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable […]

In this article I want to pursue somewhat uncharted territory. Not that many have not experienced the wide variety of His spiritual encounters, but somewhat uncharted in the sense that few ministries open themselves to meticulously explaining their particular walk in the Spirit. How does God speak to them? What experiences have they encountered? What […]

The following is about prayer and identity. It will endeavor to explain some aspects of how prayer works and its connection to finding and walking in our true identity.

“GOD’S SHOFAR HAS SOUNDED!’” by Karen A Roth On July 4th Americans celebrate an unbelievable miracle—similar to God’s intervention portrayed in Israel’s biblical history.

“THE BOOK of REVELATION SEEN FROM THE THIRD HEAVEN” by Roger Roth Sr. Perhaps no other book of the Bible has more mystery surrounding its meaning or more speculation and controversy than the Book of Revelation.

“SERIOUS THOUGHT” by Karen A Roth Nehemiah took God’s Word seriously. Before addressing a situation concerning restoring government in Judah, he records, “After SERIOUS THOUGHT, I rebuked the nobles and rulers…” ~NE 5:7 ‘Serious Thought’ implies that he let his heartfelt thoughts and concerns ascend up before the Throne-Room to know God’s counsel. He was […]

“STRATEGIC OPPORTUNE TIME” by Karen A Roth Divine Intervention initiates a ‘strategic opportune time.’ In the Old Testament, God would speak through His creation—most often through His prophets.

“WHEN GOD MOVES” by Karen A Roth       When God moves, there’s always a sequence that may be visible to those searching for it … those ‘awakened’ and awaiting its dawn. Like the prophet Daniel, some people become a bridge that connects to the next move of God in the earth.      Daniel went into […]

The kingdom of heaven operates on Divine Power. If we tap into it, we move in the same miraculous power as Jesus because we are CONNECTED to the same line of authority. This Divine Inner-Force anointing makes us unbeatable and capable of “bulldozing through opposition, uprooting the old to build the new” to awaken the Spiritual Tabernacle of God in the Earth.

Hacking Your Mind by: David Roberts The dynamic every human faces, our cross. Hacking your mind?

“THE BATTLE OF OUR WILL” by Ryan Roth If God did not care for us, He would leave us as we are, unchanged and stuck in the present condition for our whole lives. If He didn’t care for us, He would remove the consequences for bad decisions. In the church we look forward to that […]

Breaking the Virus Chains             I admit that I am only a casual observer of religious media. What I witness or fail to witness therefore regarding a Christian response to the coronavirus may stem from this lack of observation.
