Deep Calls unto Deep
  “Lord, I cry out to You out of the depths of my despair.”  Psalm 130:1 TPT
Right now, as never before there seems to be a dark aura hanging over our nation, brooding over our government, and a specter of death over our churches.  We are in a deep dark place right now, and only the Holy Spirit can guide and direct us our of this morass. We’ve turned to man’s plans, and government policies to...

May I Have Your Attention Please?
By Nancy Shupp
In my mind I saw a diverse group of people in what looked like a large conference room.  A man stepped to the podium and in almost a whisper said “May I have your attention please?”.  Only those closest to him heard him and took their seats.  The man repeated his request in a normal speaking voice and a few more heard him, sat down and became quiet.   He repeated this request...

“AGELESS”
By:  Cathy Hargett
  
Recently, in our Kehila meetings, we have shared together the glory of the revelation that we, as believers, are ageless and eternal spiritual beings. We are blessed to encourage and strengthen each other in the truth of His Word.  This awareness of eternal destiny is becoming so real to my heart.
 
Something is happening that I never expected, and even though it is very strange trying to process it, I am excited and encouraged. I want you to be...

 Resisting the Roar of Rabshakeh
By Nancy Shupp
Isa 36:13  Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language
Rabshakeh was sent by the king of Assyria with a great army to convince the Jews to surrender to him without putting up a fight.  He points out the futility of coming against such an awesome army with their puny forces and the fact that Egypt’s help would be vain.
Even though his native language was Syrian, he spoke in...

HE LIVES!
I serve a risen Saviour, He's in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He's always near
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within...

 
 
 
 
 
O, THE BLOOD OF CALVARY
 
Jesus is the great I am,
God’s own chosen spotless Lamb.
He came to shed His precious blood,
And give us His unfailing love.
 
On the cross at Calvary
Jesus died to make men free.
He purchased back my soul for me
With the blood of Calvary.
 
He took on Him our sin and shame,
He bore our sickness and our pain,
And through the blood He did proclaim
The power of His Holy Name. 
 
O, the blood of Calvary
Jesus shed to set us free.
O, to know He...

My Help
Psalm 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
As I read this scripture, I lift my eyes to the hill called Calvary to that cross where Jesus bled and died!  The cross where all of my life changed as I surrendered to His act of love and acceptance of His great sacrifice.   For years I had searched for that love, that peace that hope.  I...

The Cross
 
 
By Margaret Williams
 
 
They crucified my Lord and God,
And pierced His gentle heart,
And though it happened long ago,
I know I played a part.
 
My every pride and passion,
My selfishness and greed
Contributed the nails that caused His
Hands and feet to bleed.
 
Each sinful deed became a thorn,
Upon the crown He wore,
And every cruel word I said,
Increased the rebel’s roar.
 
I made Him walk and stumble on
His way to Calvary,
And there I raised Him on a cross
For all the world to see.
 
And there in...

The Cross-less Church
 
I’ve noticed that a lot of the new seeker friendly churches have done away with the usual religious trappings.  Things like stained glass windows, steeples, and such are no longer gracing the “new” church.  I really don’t mind that so much, but one thing I do mind is the missing Cross. The Cross to me is the place where Jesus paid the price for me, and the place where the love of God was expressed, and the...

Spring Forward
 
March is here, and spring is close at hand.  I am so ready for a new season.
 
 SPRING!
 
Think of it, spring the time for rebirth—the earth sheds itself of death (winter)—and the world is replenished once again. 
 
It is interesting that in the season of new life we celebrate the death, and resurrection of Jesus.  I say celebrate because even though He died, He rose again, just like every blossom, plant, and leaf for another new season. Rejoice newness of...

 
 
 
 
THE SOUND OF WAR
 
                                                                       
 
The enemy surrounds us; I hear the sounds of war
And Christianity is wondering what are we fighting for?
 
The dawn of reality is breaking, and we’re to blind to see
That we are ripe for taking, by heaven’s enemy.
 
Awake, awake My people, can’t you feel his steamy breath,
Arise, and take a stand, it’s all that you have left.
 
The trumpet soon will be sounding, it’s later than we think,
With the noise of war abounding, we’re standing on the brink.
 
Don’t be...

Love for God and One Another
Knowing God Through Love
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.  In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but...

“Put the Sword Down”
02/10/21
 By:  Cathy Hargett
 
Yesterday I was blessed to spend about two hours with a beloved sister in the Lord who I haven’t talked with in a very long time.  The Lord brought us together to discuss some very sensitive and intense subjects. We talked about many subjects relevant to these days – including political issues, racial divides, religious nationalism, global shakings, the condition of today’s faith leaders, prophets, faith communities and other signs of the times.
 
It could have...

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come, 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home.   Amazing Grace-- John Newton
 
 
“I’m done, I can’t take it any more, this isn’t working for me.”  I heard my friend Mary say.  I was shocked Mary is one of the people who I look up to because her faith is always so strong.  Now the enemy has attacked her body, mind and spirit...

The Great Divides
By: Nancy Shupp
Our nation is divided politically, racially and socioeconomically.  Churches are divided between those who support abortion and gay marriage and those who don’t.  Families are divided because of infidelity, substance abuse and selfishness.  But in the coming season we are going to experience three divisions that cause these divisions to pale in comparison.
The next great divide is in the body of Christ.  When we read scripture, we see a great revival and harvest foretold at...
