Why Do I Lose the Revelation I Share?

Why Do I Lose the Revelation I Share?

One of the greatest frustrations in my adult life has been the mystery and consequence of sharing prematurely. A revelation hits me, I get excited, I immediately turnand share it with someone else, and by tomorrow, it’s gone. Completely forgotten. This life-changing revelation has disappeared. And it’s no coincidence. It happens over and over and over and over again. I think God is showing me why:

Restoring Life to the Desert… Literally

Restoring Life to the Desert… Literally

“So we went in and had a look and thought, Oh no! This is the end of the earth! This is like as hard as you can get. This is hyper arid. And it’s ten acres of almost dead flat. Completely salted landscape, 400 meters below sea level. The lowest place on earth. 2 kilometers from the Dead Sea. About 2 kilometers from where Jesus was christened. Hardly got any rainfall. Temperatures in August that go over 50 degrees Centigrade…”

The Deeper Meaning of “To Know”

The Deeper Meaning of “To Know”

Today’s terminology causes us believe that “to know” means to Intellectually comprehend. But, this is not the deeper side of knowing. The “knowing” we are seeking results in Oneness with that which is True, Pure, Spirit – God. There is a point in which God’s Spirit actually joins us to Him, and in this joining we become one with God (I Corinthians 6:17). Though we do not become God. It is this Oneness, this “knowing” that is the result of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. This knowing is far more comprehensive that my finite mind is able to grasp. Why? because it touches The Infinite, The Eternal.

Eyes May Be Gateway to Soul, but Ears Are Keepers of the Spirit

What music do you listen to? What television shows? What radio stations?

I challenge you to a test. This won’t hurt. much.

Change What You Listen to For ONE Day

That’s right. For one entire day. I challenge you to watch/listen to two sermons from iBethel.tv and confine your music to ONLY worship music. Throughout the day, evaluate yourself. Are you less moody than usual? Less critical? More or less irritable?

I spent two months listening to nothing but worship and watching sermons from the right kinds of people (who you listen to is important to, obviously). I’ve never felt more in-tune with God than I was during that period.

I still get in my worship and sermons, but I had to find some balance in other areas as well.

I want you to try it and tell me what happens to you.

The Physical Informs the Spiritual

It’s been 13 years since I experienced three significant physical ailments. I was a teenager, having moved out of my parents’ house and into my first apartment. I lived in rebellion against authority. The first three months away from my home, I contracted mono, chipped a bone in my ankle, and experienced intense pain in both knees when jumping.
