Last Wednesday, after sharing and repenting of my own judgmentalism, prejudices and racism with MissionGTA, I felt led to do the same for Life-Spring Family at our time of intercession. This is an extension to the rest of the Family with a closer look at the passage in Ephesians 2. 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—…

Devotion – May 29, 2020 – John 15:1-11 (Prune to Fruit)“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit…

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. CONTEXT – Paul’s claim is that God had given him a “thorn in his flesh” (2 Cor 12:7) in order to prevent him from becoming conceited because of his powerful experiences and revelations from God (verses 1-4).…

Hebrews 12:1-2 (NIV) Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,  2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The first word “Therefore” indicates a link to the previous chapter. Chapter 11 is the…

Numbers 23:19 19 God is not human, that he should lie,     not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act?     Does he promise and not fulfill? Last week I was greatly encouraged by a powerful testimony from Nicaragua. It shows how God orchestrated a whole container of medical supplies way back in 2015, before COVID-19 appeared on the scene, to meet the escalating medical need in March 2020!  Wow, how cool is that? Last Thursday,…

Psalm 1211 I look up to the mountains—    does my help come from there?2 My help comes from the Lord,    who made heaven and earth!3 He will not let you stumble;    the one who watches over you will not slumber.4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel    never slumbers or sleeps.5 The Lord himself watches over you!    The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.6 The sun will not harm you by day,    nor the moon at night.7 The Lord keeps you from all harm    and watches over your life.8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,    both now and forever.…

Psalm 100:3 3 Know that the Lord is God.     It is he who made us, and we are his;     we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Know that the Lord is God – Know experientially that He is the Lord, He is God. We need to know that He is in control. And trust that He is.                                                    …
