Foundational View

As we look around at the circumstances of the day things seem pretty crazy. It would be easy to allow fear and anxiety creep into our live to destroy our peace, our lifes and our health. The world seems to be crumbling around us.

I have to constantly remind myself of several things:

He is God and nothing else is. Not my understaning of Him. Not another religion. Not the powers that seem to be at the helm.

He, Jesus, is the one who saves and nothing else can. Not the government. Not my financial stability. Not my own strength or abilities.

He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. Not some accident over long periods of time.

He is the Truth, The Way, The Life. Not what ever seems to be right in my own eyes or just for me or any other individual. He is not like a man that He should lie.

He is the same. Yesterday, Today and Forever.

He has said that He has called me by name. Iam His. When I pass through the waters they wouldn't overflow me, through the fire I wouldn't be destroyed (though I might be refined).

Elijah said,"If God be God Serve Him."

Joshua said to choose life or death. Choose God or run after other things that are not God.

Every day I have to choose whether I will live to serve God and trust in His faithfulness to keep me, give me wisdom and walk according to His promise and character, or choose to follow things with my own eyes and feelings in reaction to the world controled by the enemy of our souls.

 Welcome to Kingdom Views! Yes, it has been ten years since I ventured into the blog world, but the Lord has nudged me that it is time to return. We are often called to pray "Thy Kingdom Come; Thy will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN."  A lot has shifted in the last  decade.  The Lord promised in His word that He will shake everything that can be shaken so only that which cannot be shaken will remain. The chaos we see all around us is a Kingdom war. Many will ask, "Why doesn't the Lord just do it and we will go in and take up residence?" When we have questions about anything in scripture, we have to look at the place where it is first mentioned to get the sense of where the Lord stands on the subject.  Let's look at the original model.  The creation and the Garden. God created man (and woman) in His image and likeness.  They would look like him and have his character (act like him with full authority).  He was set in the Garden and told him to...

Why is it important to know God as He really is?

  Trust   in   the   LORD   with all   thine heart;   and   lean   not   unto   thine own understanding. Prov. 3:5-KJV These are chaotic times when evil seems to be rising up everywhere.  More and more we realize that only God can bring a lasting shift and  salvation. We have to trust Him to do more than man can do.  Trust can only come from a source that has proven to be solid, good, and with the  knowledge that it  is really for you not against you. Many of us say they know God, but do we really know him as he is or do we  place our trust in a God that fits our understanding. God says in his word that in our day he will shake everything that can be shaken so that which  cannot be shaken will remain. These times of shaking test us and cut away  those things that hinder us from being all he created us to be.  I call them  "proving times" because in them he  proves to us that he ...

A Kingdom Viewpoint and Kingdom Results I have often taught on Caleb and Joshua as people of a different spirit.  They saw the bigness of God rather than the natural barriers of the giants in the land. Most of the Spies saw themselves like grasshoppers and they feared the giants in the land the Lord had promised. There is always someone saying, "How could the people of Israel see all of God's miracles and not believe the Lord that he would give them the land. I was one of those people.  One day, I heard the Lord say, "Ken, how do you see me?" When the Lord shows you something there is usually a test.  Tests of God prove who he is and his faithfulness as well as the degree of the reality in your life. One of my tests came during a ministry trip to India.  A friend of mine was a native of India and had a large ministry planting churches and training leaders.  He had often encouraged me to come with him to India and spend time with his leaders.  I have to admi...
