The Revealed Church

 

Steeped in the Word

July 22, 2025 – 07/22/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

22 – Personal Revelation

 

Because of this oath, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God.  Hebrews 7:22 NLT

 

The Revealed Church\n

You may be aware of the time Jesus asked His disciples what the word on the street was about Him. Read it very carefully and see if God can show you something you may have overlooked or not understood until now.\n

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, \u201cWho do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?\u201d So they said, \u201cSome say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.\u201d He said to them, \u201cBut who do you say that I am?\u201d\n

Simon Peter answered and said, \u201cYou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.\u201d Jesus answered and said to him, \u201cBlessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 16:13-19\n

Many have falsely speculated Jesus is saying Peter is the rock the church will be built upon. Jesus is saying Peter\u2019s ability to know something straight from the Father \u2013 to have a holy revelation \u2013 is the bedrock of the church. Revelation knowledge is knowing or seeing something the way God knows or sees it. This is fundamental. It is \u201cthe view from above.\u201d\n

The next time your heart is overwhelmed, your mind is freaked out, or you are at the end of your rope, let God show you your situation the way He sees it. Say, \u201cLord, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 When you get a download of revelation knowledge, and you see your situation the way God sees it, it is like climbing up to a higher place where things come into perspective. From there, you can loose yourself and bind the enemy. That\u2019s a rock worth climbing!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">The Revealed Church

From there, you can loose yourself and bind the enemy. That’s a rock worth climbing!

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Standing on the Rock that is higher than me, my soul is grateful for the revelation I have of Who He is. My faith in Jesus Christ cannot be shaken by the world because I know what He personally said to me and showed me. I am intentional about being an active part of the church where the Lord has placed me, and that brings me great Joy!

Moving Up

 

Steeped in the Word

July 21, 2025 – 07/21/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

21 – Manifest Spirit 

 

At that very time, Jesus cured many people of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he restored sight to many who were blind. Luke 7:21 NLT

 

Moving Up\n

You are a supernatural propeller. You cause a wake to follow behind you wherever you go. You\u2019re a kingdom advancer who brings others along with them. Success breeds success. One victory leads to another. That\u2019s why victory must become a lifestyle \u2013 aka: momentum.\u00a0\n

Brother Webster defines momentum like this: \n

1 The quantity of motion in a moving body, being always proportioned to the quantity of matter multiplied into the velocity, impetus.\u00a02 An impelling force of strength.\u00a0\n

Momentum starts with action. It needs an impetus or impelling force of strength to begin moving forward. That means you have a responsibility to act. You have to be intentional about upgrade.\u00a0\n

Know this: progressive people get more progressive. Studious people get more power to learn. Generous people get more power to give, and loving people get more power to love even the worst people. Awesome is the power of momentum!\u00a0\n

Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. \u2013 Matthew 13:12\u00a0\n

Never underestimate the power of momentum, especially in your walk with Christ. He hates mediocrity and designed you to chase after upgrade. So many in the church never understand this principle. But that\u2019s not you!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

When Jesus saved me, He set me free and healed my life. I experienced a tremendous upgrade in my life at that time. I have my heart set on continuing the momentum that began when I was saved. I know there is more in store for me, and I don’t want to miss a thing He has for me. I am intentional about upgrade!

Reflect Goodness

 

Steeped in the Word

July 20, 2025 – 07/20/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

20 – Waiting and Expectancy 

 

Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. Matthew 7:20 NLT

 

Reflect Goodness\n

God\u2019s loving-kindness is greater than your troubles. When you focus on evil, His ability to operate through you is reduced to your own resources. Focus on what He wants to do through you, then watch His goodness multiply through your actions.\u00a0\n

As people who are supposed to reflect the face of God, we are to love what is good. We are to do good and celebrate anything that is selfless, kind or uplifting. Do you have a high value for the betterment of other people? Do you have the Kingdom perspective of selfless giving? If you don\u2019t, you should. It will bring heaven to earth.\u00a0\n

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor, giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Romans 12:9-13\u00a0\n

If you live as a redeemed resident of Heaven on Earth in the midst of this ungodly generation, you will learn to love what God loves and hate what God hates. He really loves goodness. He really loves seeing His kids go out of their way to be kind and reach out to those in need.\u00a0\n

However, He is ecstatic when He gets the glory for your goodness. To Him, it\u2019s like hearing someone say, \u201cShe\u2019s got her Father\u2019s eyes!\u201d or \u201cHe\u2019s generous just like his Daddy!\u201d It makes Him so proud when you point to Him and let people know your goodness runs in the spiritual family.\u00a0\n

When was the last time you pointed to Him? If it\u2019s been a while, find a reason today to practice goodness and brag on your Father in heaven. To God be the glory!\u00a0\n

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16\u00a0","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

The Lord has been so good to me. My soul is grateful that He saved and redeemed me, and I truly want to serve others so my life will reflect the Lord. Holy Spirit opens my eyes and helps me see those who are in need and those who are hurting. The actions for me to take and the words for me to speak are given to me, and I walk confidently knowing how to lovingly serve others.

Reasonable Price

 

Steeped in the Word

July 19, 2025 – 07/19/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

19 – Faith 

 

For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.  Hebrews 7:19 NLT

 

Reasonable Price\n

God doesn\u2019t own just a part of your life. He owns it all. He made you. You are His child, so you belong to Him.\u00a0\n

\u00a0Do my children belong to you? Certainly not! Same thing with my other possessions. If I allowed you to drive my car and you complained because I asked for the back seat and all you wanted to give me, the owner, was a little trunk space, I would look at you like you were nuts. It is your privilege to drive my car, but I have the pink slip.\u00a0\n

\u00a0If at the end of the day, you want to complain and bargain with me, and finally give me the entire trunk, you insult me. It\u2019s my car, so I tell you, \u201cHey, this is your reasonable service.\u201d\u00a0\n

That\u2019s what God calls your life given in service to Him \u2013 \u201creasonable\u201d service.\u00a0\n

\u00a0Now, what\u2019s real is that all of us bargain with God from time to time. It\u2019s not just you. It\u2019s all of us, but God helps you to have a right mind on this issue. The cure to the destructive pattern of thinking that \u201cGod wants too much out of me,\u201d is to do a proper assessment of who owns your life.\u00a0\n

\u00a0For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God\u2019s. 1 Corinthians 6:20\u00a0\n

\u00a0Boo-yah! Jesus purchased you from the devil, a terrible tyrant, with His own blood. You are now a slave to Christ! But don\u2019t worry, He has assured us His \u201cyoke is not heavy\u201d and His \u201cburden is light.\u201d\u00a0\n

\u00a0What Jesus did for you requires a reasonable service to the Lord \u2013 a life dedicated to serving Him and His Kingdom. He is always at your side to help you.\u00a0\u00a0\n

God doesn’t own just a part of your life. He owns it all. He made you. You are His child, so you belong to Him.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

It is a joy and an honor to serve the Lord. He valued me so much that He died so I never would have to. I’m so grateful to get to live my life with Him every step of the way. The desire of my heart is to serve Him well and bring Him glory.

Abundant Family Fruit

 

Steeped in the Word

  7 – The Spirit of God    

18 – (+) Life More Abundantly (-) The Bondage of Sin 

 

A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 

Matthew 7:18 NLT

 

Abundant Family Fruit\n

Pray for your children not as the world views them, but as the Lord views them. Pray for their destiny to manifest. Give thanks and watch the transformation begin.\u00a0\n

If you live with the fear your children will never get saved, you have listened to a lie from the pit of hell.\n

\u00a0Read the following scripture and be comforted:\u00a0\n

But now listen, Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen. This is what the Lord says\u2014he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.\n

\u00a0Some will say, \u2018I belong to the Lord\u2019; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, \u2018The Lord\u2019s,\u2019 and will take the name Israel. \u2013 Isaiah 44:1-5\u00a0\n

\u00a0You may have tried everything and prayed and prayed, but don\u2019t you dare give up on seeing victory in the life of your offspring! It is the will of God that they know the truth and are saved. Yes, it is the will of God that they should be reconciled unto the Father, and their names should be written in the Lamb\u2019s Book of Life. It can happen. Heck, it\u2019s going to happen because you are someone who is in covenant with the Lord your God!\u00a0\n

\u00a0That covenant does not just apply to your house, job, and finances. His covenant also applies and extends to your seed (your unborn kids) and offspring (your living children).\u00a0\n

It\u2019s your job to have a right mind when it comes to believing God for victory in your kids\u2019 lives. Do not give up! Make it your business to hope when others have fallen out.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

This is what the Lord says—he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.

 Some will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, ‘The Lord’s,’ and will take the name Israel. – Isaiah 44:1-5 

 You may have tried everything and prayed and prayed, but don’t you dare give up on seeing victory in the life of your offspring! It is the will of God that they know the truth and are saved. Yes, it is the will of God that they should be reconciled unto the Father, and their names should be written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. It can happen. Heck, it’s going to happen because you are someone who is in covenant with the Lord your God! 

 That covenant does not just apply to your house, job, and finances. His covenant also applies and extends to your seed (your unborn kids) and offspring (your living children). 

It’s your job to have a right mind when it comes to believing God for victory in your kids’ lives. Do not give up! Make it your business to hope when others have fallen out.

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

God’s word tells me that my heritage includes having my children come to know Him and to follow Him. I believe the Word of The Lord Most High. No matter what it looks like now, I know that the Lord is working things out for the salvation and redemption of my children. Jesus came to give me abundant life, and that means my children will know Him, too.

Fruit of Redeemed Sight

 

Steeped in the Word

July 17, 2025 – 07/17/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

17 – Overcoming Victory

 

A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit.

Matthew 7:17 NLT

 

Fruit of Redeemed Sight\n

There is no way a healthy male cannot be aware of a beautiful woman. This does not make him bad. This makes him a man. God programmed every man to be naturally visual! Godly men struggle with this awareness and spend a lot of conscious thought in extreme combat. Like the little train that said, \u201cI think I can. I think I can,\u201d he chants the mantra of \u201cI will not look. I will not look!\u201d He ends up seeing anyway, and by the end of the day, the scarlet letter \u201cL\u201d for \u201closer\u201d is stamped on his spiritual forehead.\u00a0\n

Knowing the truth about awareness can really set us free! It\u2019s not a sin to be aware of a woman\u2019s beauty. It is a sin to let that awareness escalate into carnal imaginations.\u00a0 \u00a0\n

\u201cCommit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.\u201d\u00a0 Proverbs 16:3 \u00a0\n

The word \u201cworks\u201d here means \u201cactions.\u201d When you commit your mental or physical actions to God, He will establish your thought life. Do you think Jesus was unaware of the beautiful women He was in contact with? He was just like us \u2013 visual.\u00a0 Of course, He noticed women. He looked but did not lust. He was aware, but He practiced the art of \u201cbrain freeze.\u201d He would not allow His awareness to turn into filthy imaginations.\u00a0\n

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. \u2013 Hebrews 4:15\u00a0\n

Jesus was aware of the crimes of the Roman Empire, yet He wouldn\u2019t let His mind harbor hatred. He was aware of the corruption of the priests, yet He didn\u2019t entertain thoughts of bitterness. He was aware of the sins of the very people He healed \u2013 hands that were restored would later be used to steal, kill or destroy. He healed those hands anyway.\u00a0\n

Jesus was even aware that the very people He cared for would soon turn against Him and yell, \u201cCrucify Him!\u201d yet His mind was compassionate toward them. Do you have the mind of Christ?","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Fruit of Redeemed Sight

Knowing the truth about awareness can really set us free! It’s not a sin to be aware of a woman’s beauty. It is a sin to let that awareness escalate into carnal imaginations.

Jesus was even aware that the very people He cared for would soon turn against Him and yell, “Crucify Him!” yet His mind was compassionate toward them. Do you have the mind of Christ?

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Things from my life before I met Jesus tried to leave their imprint on my mind. The Holy Spirit in me exposes the lies and the shadows of the past and reminds me of the Truth Christ has spoken and shines His Light into my soul. Because I was wounded, I now have compassion for others who have been hurt. I ask to be used by God to encourage them to find healing and hope in Jesus.

Deeper Love, Higher Level of Blessings

Steeped in the Word

July 16, 2025 – 07/16/2025

  7 – The Spirit of God    

16 – The Love of God

 

You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:16 NLT

 

Deeper Love, Higher Level of Blessings\n

If you want to see a great move of God and favor in your life, ministry, family, or job, there is something you need to understand. It\u2019s not enough to want those things or to work at them when you have the time or resources. You cannot move to the next level or truly bless others until you are consistent.\u00a0\n

\n

That means you show up every day. You bring the right attitude. You do what needs to be done and strategically plan for more of whatever it is you\u2019re after.\u00a0\n

Years ago, I started taking groceries to a group of about 35 isolated elderly folks. I could have done that once, patted myself on the back, and moved on. I didn\u2019t. Every Saturday, rain or shine, crying babies, lack of sleep, lack of money \u2013 the list of excuses I could give to stop helping was never-ending.\u00a0\n

Because I was consistent with a little, God blessed me with more and more until I had a lot \u2013 the OpenDoor Food Bank that feeds thousands of people each year.\u00a0\n

All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along. \u2013 Galatians 2:10\u00a0\n

In 1986, I was newly saved and wanted to jump off the deep end of whatever Jesus had for me, so I took my band to play Christian rock on Lancaster Street in Fort Worth. The homeless would come for the entertainment, and we\u2019d feed them and give them clothes. I still lead a team to that same parking lot every month.\u00a0\n

Now, God shows me favor in everything I do. He brings me opportunities I\u2019m not looking for, like meeting with kings and celebrities, hosting television shows, and stomping around the globe. Why does God favor me?\u00a0 Because I\u2019m consistent. I am strategic about the kingdom, and I keep going even when others fade away.\u00a0 \u00a0\n

Are you favored? If not, look at where you are not being consistent and make a strategic plan to take that territory for the Lord. He will bless your socks off!\u00a0","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus saved me so I can have an abundant life. I am intentional about being consistent in everything that is mine to do in the Kingdom and in my life. I rejoice that I am a child of God who is favored by God Almighty. Glory to Him.

He is Light in Our Darkness

Steeped in the Word

  7 – The Spirit of God    

15 – Rest and Overcoming Death

 

I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. Romans 7:15 NLT

 

Warring for the Promises\n

On Thanksgiving morning of 2000, my wife and I were in a crummy hotel in London, England. It was our very first mission trip, and that day was going to be a biggie. To us, it seemed we were at the end of the earth, and nothing was going our way \u2013 nothing.\n

I woke up very early because my internal clock was out of whack. When I opened my Bible, my eyes fell on Psalm 61. God really moved that morning. I realized this verse is deeply personal for you and me, just as it was for David when he penned it.\u00a0\u00a0Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.\u00a0\u2013 Psalm\u00a061:1-2\n

When David says he will cry out to God from the ends of the earth, he is not talking about geographical location. Translation: \u201cthe end of my rope.\u201d To stress the point, the very next thing David says is his heart is \u201coverwhelmed.\u201d He is really at the end of his rope or \u201cat his wit’s end.\u201d\n

The last thing Jesus said before His ascension into heaven is that he would be with us always, even unto the \u201cends of the world.\u201d What our Savior was really saying is He would be with us to the end of our ropes when our hearts are overwhelmed. He promised to be with us even at our wit’s end!\n

You need to learn to find the presence of Jesus when your heart is overwhelmed. It\u2019s your ability to seek Jesus at the end of your rope. The trouble is, when you\u2019re there, you generally throw a fit when you should bend a knee or bow a head.\n

When I learned to get small \u2013 to be humble in the face of great adversity \u2013 and ask the Lord for help because I was at the end of my rope, deliverance came. It came that dreary Thanksgiving Day in England, and it will come for you as well.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Every day in my life can be “thanks giving day.”  Not everything in my life goes right, but the Lord is with me no matter what.  I am grateful that His ways are not my ways because He can guide me into my next step. Even when I fail at following Him well, He never fails me.

Warring for the Promises

Steeped in the Word

July 14, 2025 – 07/14/2025

   7 – The Spirit of God  

14 – Generational Promises and The Fear of the Lord

 

So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin.  Romans 7:14 NLT

 

Warring for the Promises\n

If you\u2019re going to get your upgrade and go to the next level, you cannot rebel against God in your wilderness experience \u2013 which is easy to do as the wilderness is hard! If you\u2019re like me, you get tempted to run away from God and the processes you find painful. Instead, you must run to Him!\n

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.\n

\u2013 Proverbs 18:10\n

How you act in the wilderness determines if you spend 40 days like Jesus did, or 40 years, like Moses. It is really up to you! It is so important you learn to live and be happy in God\u2019s presence because in the wilderness, the battle is about survival. The Promised Land is about advancing.\n

The enemy of dreaming, of creativity and forward, is survival. God wants you to get through your wilderness so you can get past surviving and get on with thriving. To do this, the enemy must be displaced.\n

Know this: that place is in God\u2019s amazing presence in the wilderness. It\u2019s where He changes you from a helpless slave to an overcoming warrior.\u00a0\u00a0Instead of learning to protect yourself, God wants to teach you how to fight. To battle for His promises, His goodness, hearing His voice and for territory in which to glorify Him. He wants to make you dangerous to the enemy and willing to fight for more of Him.\n

God is speaking courage into you. To move into your Promised Land, you will have giants who try to keep you from advancing. No matter how loud they roar, know that God is bigger. Trust in God\u2019s promises as you advance into the place He has for you. Run to Him!\n

Do you want to be a warrior? Learn to fight through prayer and by searching for the heart of the King of Kings. Run to Him!","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

I am not a victim who is barely surviving. I am a victorious child of the Lord Most High who wants all good things for me.  I know that when things seem hard, He is still with me and giving me courage.  I choose to run to Him so I can be in His presence.

13 – Rebellion

 

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.”

Matthew 7:13 NLT

 

No Matter What He Has Your Plan\n

Odds are, you\u2019ve never heard of Titanic Thompson. He sailed through life as the greatest poker-playing, golf-gambling, horseshoe-hustling, skeet-shooting, womanizing, hell-raising con man of all time. His skills as a card cheat got him invited to play poker with Al Capone. Yes, he cheated the legendary mobster and got away with it. His golf skills were good enough to shoot 29 on the back nine of Fort Worth\u2019s Ridglea Country Club, where he beat Byron Nelson by one stroke. Harry Houdini studied him to find his secret to swindling people.\n

I could go on and on. The man is fascinating. Why do I know so much about Titanic? His son, Tommy Thomas, is a friend of mine. Now Titanic married five times and had several abandoned offspring, Tommy included. Always hoping to someday impress his infamous dad, Tommy caught up with him in San Antonio, and the pair racked up millions from unsuspecting wannabes. Was the money great? Sure. But that\u2019s not what Tommy was after.\n

Tommy was looking for his father\u2019s love. All he wanted was to hear the words, \u201cI love you,\u201d even if they were from a deeply flawed man like Titanic.\n

Well, Tommy did hear those words as Titanic was drawing some of his last breaths. While it was great, Tommy\u2019s life was truly changed when he heard his Father God proclaim His undying love for the cheating son of a card shark. Amazing!\n

Today, Tommy is a preacher telling everyone how to beat the odds in life \u2013 and death \u2013 through salvation in Jesus Christ. Tommy knows the secret many of us long to understand: Whatever exploits you\u2019ve lived, good or bad, they mean nothing compared to who you love and who loves you.\u00a0And a voice from heaven said, \u201cThis is my Son, whom I love, with him I am well pleased.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Matthew 3:17\n

\u00a0Who do you love?","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">No Matter What He Has Your Plan

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

My life has not been perfect, but it is now redeemed and I am set free from the evil that kept me bound.  I praise God that my life doesn’t look like it once did.  I praise Him that now I have a future and a hope.
