EPIKAIZO – THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY

Image
As you look at the greeting to Mary in Luke 1, Gabriel said, “Thou highly favored one.”  If you examine that title from Genesis to Revelation, you will find that it is reserved only to those who had spent a lot of time with God.   It was used of Daniel when Gabriel met him and said, “Daniel, thou greatly beloved of God.”  That greeting had the same sense of being highly favored.  So just from that greeting, you could tell that Mary was a woman who loved God, loved to spend time with God, and loved to pray. That harmonizes epikaizo and the ability to tap into that.  The prayer level was extremely high. Daniel spent so much time with God that God gave him a special title, “Thou greatly beloved.”  To Mary, it was “Highly favored one.” That is the first thing. You notice that the natural world becomes afraid. On all three occasions fear came. In Luke 1, it says that Mary was troubled.  Mary began reasoning to herself. Then the angel had to say, “Fear not, ...

HOPE - YOU'RE IN THE DOORWAY TO YOUR SEASON

The year 2022 is an exciting year for me as it will be filled with a sense of contentment and survival.

People without food or money will still find the way to live so long as their dreams and visions are burning within them but rob them of their dream and v...

There's still color in broken colors

When things are broken, God never gives up. He begins with ruins, chaos, and brings forth beauty from ashes.  Ruined things are my defeat, but God's beginning.  It's not hopeless what you're going through, it's just an opportunity for God to show off who He is through his power-driven fingers.  If you wait on Him, your mess becomes a miracle. Calvary is our example. Shattered lives become breathtaking ornaments of beauty. This is our God.  God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, and broken bread to give strength. – Vance Havner Our brokenness is not proof that God could not or would not love us, but proof that what we need is the God who both created us and loves us. A Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art form that involves putting broken pieces back together using gold or another precious metal. It takes something broken and makes it stronger, more useful, and more beautiful. First time I...
