Run to Win – Don’t Get Disqualified
We must wait until the Holy Spirit has given us the baton, or we will be disqualified if we run our leg of the relay without it.

We Didn’t Choose Christ
The only way we will be able to produce the Fruit of the Holy Spirit is to answer the Vine’s Divine Call and then yield to the Husbandman’s Divine Care.
It’s ALL About Kingdom of God Living
We were not created just to become believers in Christ Jesus, and we were not created just so we can get into Heaven. We also were not created just to preach the Gospel—to evangelize and disciple the whole world. Then too, we never were created just so that we can live comfortable lives—have comfortable jobs, comfortable paychecks (or comfortable bank accounts/savings), comfortable homes, comfortable friends, and/or comfortable churches or ministries. First and foremost, God has created human beings for His Glory. His Glory is the beauty and excellence of His diverse holiness or countless perfections. His Glory also is the revelation and manifestation of His Character or all that He has and all that He is.
The “Salt” of the Earth
There is a huge difference between the old grain of sand believers once were and the salt of the Earth they became, after they were born again, saved, indwelt by and filled with the Holy Spirit. As salt that has its savor, believers are preservatives—preserving others from evil inherent in the souls of mankind that have been corrupted by sin. As “tangy” salt, believers also are moral compasses that influence others to be just/fair, to be merciful, and to be humble. Therefore, it is only after believers have lost their saltiness that their witness becomes ineffective and the distinctions between a follower of Christ and the rest of the world get blurred.
Former…Latter Rains
The former and latter rains are both literal rains needed for physical farming and spiritual rains, which are emblematic of the Holy Spirit who is needed for spiritual farming. The outpouring of the former (Autumn) rain has been fulfilled in the first four Jewish Feasts, and the latter rain outpouring is yet to be fulfilled during the last three Jewish Feasts. The spiritual latter rain actually is the double outpouring of Joel’s prophesied combined former rain and latter rain, which will happen in a future Tishri, the first month of a Jewish new year, and the month of the Jewish Fall Feasts. This double outpouring is the spiritual rainfall that not only accompanies the Fall Feasts but also has the honor of ushering in the blessing and restoration of the Kingdom of Israel, which will be under the rule and reign of the Messiah—Jesus the Christ.
Are There Really Only Five LOVE Languages?
The Holy Bible is the original love languages’ source, and it provides many more love languages than the 5 that Gary Chapman mentions in his popular book. The Holy Bible also is the original source in which the secret to the true kind of love that lasts (Agápe Love) is found.
Working God’s Perfect Will Out of Us
The ultimate goal of every believer is NOT to make it into Heaven. The ultimate goal of God’s salvation plan is to have every single one of His sons and daughters achieve Christlikeness. The only way to achieve this goal is to work out everything God has worked into each believer—to work God’s Perfect Will out of each believer. God’s Perfect Will in the believer is His Holy Spirit, who is every believer’s Source of power, authority, gifts, practical sanctification, and so forth.
Two Word Blog Post (5)
No joke. This blog posting is just two words long. In fact, this excerpt will take you longer to read than the actual posting. Be blessed!
A Divine Truth Is Subject to Holy Spirit Revelation Knowledge and NOT Human Interpretation
Holy Spirit revelation knowledge is the knowledge of God, which has been divinely quickened in believers by the Holy Spirit through believers’ born-again spirits. In other words, when the knowledge of God’s Word enters born-again believers’ soulish minds, either through hearing or the studying of God’s Word, believers’ spirits will bear witness with the Spirit of Truth and the spiritual and/or natural wisdom He imparts.
The Holy Ghost Is The Third Person of The Trinity
The Holy Ghost is fully God. Like God the Father, the Holy Ghost is eternal, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Holy Ghost has a will, and He can speak. For sure, He is very much alive, and, like Jesus the Christ, the Holy Ghost has an earthly ministry. Furthermore, He is ONE in purpose with God the Father and Jesus the Christ the Son. The Trinity or Godhead, thus, operates in perfect harmony.
