When Fear Tries to Negotiate Obedience

On By staceihsIn 🔸 Christian LivingLeave a comment

📌

I want to share something the Lord has been stirring in my heart.

Recently, I had a dream where someone I care about looked at me—tears streaming down his face—and said, “Please don’t open a soup kitchen.”

It wasn’t really about a soup kitchen.
It was about fear.

Fear that visible faith might close doors.
Fear that obedience might cost access.
Fear that if we look “too Christian,” we won’t be allowed into certain spaces where help is needed. Continue reading “When Fear Tries to Negotiate Obedience” →

Dear Prophet: Does God See the Unseen Servant?

On By staceihsIn 🔸 Dear ProphetLeave a comment

Question:

Several years ago, I knew a little old lady who lived in a trailer park. She was sweet as could be. She read her Bible all day long. She endured a very rude and manipulative daughter. She never went anywhere. She didn’t really interact with anyone. Back then there was no internet, so she couldn’t reach out or connect. Then one day, she passed on.

That image stayed with me. I remember thinking, I never want to live unseen, unheard, and unable to make a difference. Continue reading “Dear Prophet: Does God See the Unseen Servant?” →

When you pray a contractual prayer, dedicating your space and the night to the Lord and to the Kingdom of Light, you are establishing jurisdiction. You are declaring that the kingdom of darkness has no authority and no access within that space—especially your bedroom, where the mind rests and the soul is most vulnerable.

The Millennium: The Thousand-Year Reign of Christ
(From the teaching of David Jeremiah)

Hello friends,

Before looking at the Scriptures, it helps to begin with a clear definition.

The Millennium refers to the literal one-thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ on the earth following His Second Coming. During this time, Christ will rule the nations in righteousness, peace, and justice, fulfilling God’s promises spoken through the prophets. Satan will be bound, evil restrained, and the authority of King Jesus will be fully visible on the earth. Continue reading “The Millennium: The Thousand-Year Reign of Christ” →

Rapture vs. Second Coming: Two Distinct Events
(Shared from Mary Hawkins Banes – “The Rapture Is Very Soon”)

Hello friends,

There is often confusion in the body of Christ regarding the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus. Scripture, however, presents these as two distinct events, each with a different purpose and outcome.

The Rapture is the rescue of the true Church—caught up to be with Christ. Continue reading “Rapture vs. Second Coming: Two Distinct Events” →

Bodies in Heaven
What Can We Learn from the Rich Man and Lazarus?
(From Heaven by Randy Alcorn)

Hello friends,

One of the most thought-provoking passages Jesus ever taught is the account of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19–31. In this account, Jesus describes people who have died as having awareness, memory, identity, and even physical properties.
