Kingdom Views: A Kernal of gratefulness: It seemed a long way off the main road. Our team of six Ugandans, and Edge Water pump repair insturctor and I had begun the morning by load...
It was getting late and darkness falls quickly in the Himalayan mountains. We had just finished a medical clinic in a remote Nepali village. Darkness is acute in Nepal both spiritually and naturally. Nepal is the high holy center of demonic worship. The trip had been fruitful for the Kingdom, but we also had been attacked with sickness and real confrontations. This was the last trip out before heading to Katmandu to catch the plane home. Our team bus was to pick us up at 4:00 pm so we would be able to make it down the mountain before total darkness settled in. Five o clock came and no one showed up. Finally the bus supervisor called down to ask where the bus was. It turned out that our bus had broken down on the way up. Not just any one can drive a bus on the mountain roads of Nepal. It takes special training because the roads are barely big enough for one car to pass and hairpin turns are everywhere. The mechanic was the only qualified driver s...
Have you ever wondered if God hears your prayers? You know God is real, but it like he is living on the other side of the earth. I have been there even though we have taught on the believer's authority and spiritual warfare for years. This week the Lord brought me back to Prov. 3:5,6. " Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight."-NASB The Lord is so good to give us those experiences that show he hears your prayers.

However, his spirit is pure and the Lord has given him the gift to see angels and demons. He has a job at a local grocery store stocking and helping people with their groceries. On Halloween night we received an urgent call....
Who am I? Why am I here? Almost all of us ask ourselves these questions at one time or another in our lives. That is especially true now that we live in a time when chaos and confusion seem to be all around us. The desire for meaning and purpose is universal. Yet we strive to "live our best life. A common rational in not meeting the ideal is, "Well, I am only human." Questions you might also ask are what is the ideal human and what part of our humanity keeps us from attaining it? One of the principles of Biblical interpretation is when you want to know the true sense of a term or a concept, you look at the first time it is found and see its context. So let us look at the original model of a human created by God and placed in the garden. God said, "Let us make man (male and female)in our own image and likeness." Gen.1: 26,27 The context of "image" can be translated character, and the context of "likeness" translated to look similar or r...
