Zech. 13-14, Rev. 21-22, Lam. 5 The End of the Story Guest Post:  Marcia Thorsell When I finally volunteered for this post, I was flat scared!!  Soooo much symbolism, so much mystery, so much unknown, so much prophetic!!  I have never claimed to know that much eschatology and I certainly don’t have a great understanding […]

Zechariah 9-10; Revelation 19; Lamentations 3 There is only one truly worthy, and His name is Jesus. In our efforts to create a culture of honor within the church, we may have inadvertently slipped into idolatry—idolatry toward individuals, their gifts, and their ministries. However, there’s a more excellent way to honor. Consider John’s heavenly encounter: […]

Zechariah 7-8; Revelation 18; Lamentations 2 I don’t have a lot of time to expound on this, so it’s a bit risky to address this at all, but I’m going to do my best. Remember, these devotionals are not sermons; they are more like a snapshot intended to highlight one idea from our daily readings […]

Hebrews 8, Ezekiel 43-44, Ecclesiastes 4 Guest Post: Patty Bellingham Wasn’t the eclipse amazing? People across the United States prepared with special approved solar viewing glasses, lawn chairs, and, if necessary, plane tickets to witness it in the “path of totality.” After all, the eclipse was accessible only to those who were “in the path.” […]

Ezekiel 13-14; 2 Corinthians 12; Proverbs 20 I don’t know if it’s just me or the season I’m in, but every time I open the Word, the Lord speaks about a false movement—a false prophetic system that drove His people away from His heart. In the New Testament, Jesus stands against a false religious system. […]

Ezekiel 3-4; 2 Corinthians 7; Proverbs 15 The true apostolic, in whatever else it may entail, is surely encapsulated in this: 2 Corinthians 7: 2 “Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.” The true apostolic isn’t about dates […]

Ezra 4-5; 1 Corinthians 12; Proverbs 4 There will always be opposition to the Word of the Lord. After all, we are in a war. It is kingdom against kingdom, just as Jesus said. And so, if you find yourself in a wrestling match, do not lose hope. Do not despair. Fight! Fight to keep […]

2 Kings 19-20; 1 Corinthians 7; Psalm 149 Over the last few weeks, reading through the Old Testament together, we have wrestled with our understanding of the true prophetic. Living in the New Covenant age of grace, we have all been given the Person of the Holy Spirit and have direct access to our Heavenly […]

2 Kings 5-6; Romans 16; Psalm 142 I’m convinced that the root of all our problems, whatever they are, is that for the most part, we are blind men walking. We grope along in our doubt, feeling our way through, scared of every rustle and creak. We need constant bolstering and encouragement to step out […]

1 Kings 21-22; Romans 13; Psalm 139 With all that is unraveling within the prayer movement, as we read through the scriptures together, I find myself reexamining what constitutes the true prophetic in our shared history and faith. It appears that the true prophetic voice is never popular or widely successful, according to the Word. […]
