    What are you watching right now?

    Been watching House of David. Not sure how I really feel about it. It does seem they are taking a lot of liberties to tell an entertaining story.

    What's on your mind?

    My adventures in finding a new home church has begun. I visited a small church my niece suggested, which was connected to the summer camp she goes to. She has attended the church herself. I prayed before stepping in for God's guidance. Was met by one of the pastors, but didn't really connect...

    What's on your mind?

    The person who told me, use to attend the church 10 years ago. One Sunday, they were reading the scripture to the congregation and had a vision. They saw Jesus outside the church, and asked him to come in. Jesus replied to them saying he was not welcome. The person then realized the people's...

    What's on your mind?

    Officially left my church yesterday. On Wednesday, my mental health was not good, but it seems it was more of a spiritual matter. After meeting with a friend for a few hours, I returned home. Then I suddenly felt like I have to go to the emergency and get admitted in, as I was feeling suicidal...

    What's on your mind?

    Thank you for bringing this up. It is a serious question I had to ask myself. Tomorrow I'm visiting a prayer warrior who use to be a member of my church. I have been in prayer to God about my issues. One thing that was brought to mind, is I am in bondage to a controlling spirit among the...

    What's on your mind?

    I returned to my home church on Sunday, serving to run sound. Originally expecting to also multitask and run the live streaming. One of the people I trained was on duty to run the live streaming, along an older lady, who I had been training, was brushing up on the skills. Despite that...

    Truths

    There was a sermon or short message I saw about the Tower of Babel, and two things I took away has stayed with me. First was they wanted to make a name for themselves by building the tower and being exalted. Only one name is great above all else, yet even today, ambitious men try to exalt their...

    What's on your mind?

    They are guest preachers. One of the people who gives sermons on Sunday mornings, at my home church, use to be a senior pastor at his previous church. He left with his family and started attending my home church. Normally at my church, the senior pastor would give the sermon each Sunday, giving...

    What's on your mind?

    My home church currently has different people preaching each Sunday, so the messages from one Sunday to the next usually are not connected. At my parent's church, they're preaching on agape love at the moment, and building on that. Before I became born again, God revealed "agape love" to me...

    What's on your mind?

    I do hope to go back to my home church. I feel strongly that it is where God wants to use me, and eventually get into a leadership position, which I did for a few months before leaving. Some of the gifts He has given me, I can only use there. For example, running both the sound and live...

    What's on your mind?

    I haven't been to my home church this year. Ended up burning myself out between different ministries I was helping with, along with other struggles. I felt really bad for having to abruptly leave, however, it has made me trust in God, that He is equipping and giving His wisdom to others, so they...

    Dreams and visions

    Its been a year since I had this dream. Yesterday evening, I encountered the "pastor/teacher", at my church's prayer night, which I'm currently leading. I took over back in the spring, when our interim pastor retired. I have no formal training in leading these types of events, and have been...

    What's on your mind?

    Oh wow. I'm also a INFJ personality. And I've noticed the same thing, where people will message me out of no where, for their own self interest, then disappear. I never connected the dots like you have.

    The Goodness of God

    This reminds me of the parable of the talents Jesus preached in Matthew 25. The Parable of the Bags of Gold 14 “Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to them. 15 To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one...

    Truths

    People marry at different ages. Just because those of the world marry quickly, does not mean that should be your path too. You have the desire to be married, and God knows the desire. God brought into my life friends who were always older than me. 5 to 10 years. Many of them married in their mid...

    Question for guys

    In the state of being single, even if we are waiting on God to reveal the person our heart desires, there is much work we can do, when it comes to serving Him now. That free time we have to focus on God, will be cut in half, when the other person enters our lives, and will lessen even more once...

    “Hang him on that.”

    These verses came to mind from what I am "seeing", yesterday. Genesis 11:3-7 3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to...

    What's on your mind?

    When God brings two names to your attention, and you scratch your head to discern it..... "Who Is Like God?" and "to behold".
