The True Vine
Jesus said, “You are the branch I am the true vine This work in you Is all of mine Dwell in Me I’ll dwell in you There’s not a work That you can do But in me You must believe I am the life You must receive I’ll trim and prune And cut away All that’s of you That cannot stay So you’ll bear fruit That must remain Nevermore To be the same Abide in me And I will fill…

CONFERENCE: The Journey of Readiness
If the realm of the over-comer is the journey we wish to follow, then a great shift must occur which moves us past the necessitated outward emancipation into a deeper inward step which reveals the true cause of all our outward and inward issues. Thus the Godhead shifts their work to focus on an inward work that will bring true transformation to each and all who willingly embrace the shift. I believe this is the time we have arrived at…
Throne Worthy
a poem by Donna Bennett My King is worthy Of a throne From which to rule and reign He sacrificed And paid the price For my heart to gain He is King Of all the earth Amidst its sadness And its mirth Of the land And of the sea But will I crown Him King of me? He rules the heavens The angels praise With the saints Their anthems raise The depths of hell Cannot deny That He is King…
Counterfeit Christianity
You are never going to be able to exhaust the Lord Jesus Christ in any conversation, any declaration, any form of teaching or preaching, or even in the heavens. If you combined the knowledge of God possessed by all human beings, all angels, all Holy Ones, all Seraphim and Cherubim, and every created being and compared it to what is still to be known of God, it would not register on the scale. It would not even move the arrow.…
The New Creation
a poem by Donna Bennett Beyond this old creation And all that we can see World’s unknown A Holy Throne Multitudes of beings An immense reality Before one thing was created And all things came to be Was God alone with His thought For a family He makes His angels winds His servants flames of fire But Cherubim and Seraphim Filled not His heart’s desire Though they were created To display His eternal plan The reality would be fulfilled In…

God’s Recovery Movement
God has initiated a recovery movement to re-establish God’s eternal purpose. That’s right out of Ephesians 3:11. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose. God wants to move His people past the initial stages of our relationship with Him, or past “Christianity,” because of all that word has come to mean, and into the knowledge of God. There is nothing wrong with God’s beginning, but God’s end goal and His beginning are two different things. Not two different persons,…
The Life
There is a life inside of me, Though when at first received Is very small and immature. It’s just a tiny seed. Watered by the Holy Spirit This seed begins to grow. As I learn to eat of Him Beyond what I could know. This life is meant to overcome And overtake my soul Until I’ve been made free of self And under His control. Let this life produce in me All that I am not able As I eat…
Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?
In the past few years, I have heard much talk and many pronouncements about December 25th and when and how Christians ought to celebrate the birth of Christ. I wish to address this as clearly as I can to help us and hopefully resolve any misunderstanding in the hearts and minds of God’s people. First, let’s look at dates. It should be very clear to all of our hearts that no date is holy and no date is evil. A…
The Star of Bethlehem – Joseph Seiss
Joseph Seiss devotes the last chapter in his 1882 book The Gospel in the Stars to the question of the Star of Bethlehem, the Magi from the East, the historical and astronomical proofs we can observe, and the conclusion we can draw about the date of Jesus’s birth. The writing may be a little difficult for modern readers, but we know of no better source for unveiling the important truths of God’s purpose in the heavens. Read the entire public…
The Stars Do Speak
The Stars Do Speak The stars above in all their glory How they sparkle and do shine To tell the ancient story Of His Gospel, Christ Divine. They have not failed to speak In every constellation From the day they were created Shining down on generations. Their speech is endless As they proclaim to all upon the earth. For was it not His star That led the wise men to His birth? In the sign of Virgo This brilliant Star…
