Welcome to our Book Club. So glad to have you join us.  We continue reading our Sixth Featured Book, "The Good Life," by Robert Waldinger and Marc Schulz. This is our first reading into Chapter Nine: "The Good Life at Work." Get yourself a seat, tighten your belt, and let us take flight.  The Saint ..read more

We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel, as we continue to dig deeper into verse 13 of Chapter 10. It reads, "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia." Well, Elijah missed out on Jezebel in the equation of things. He thought he had all his bases covered, but lo and behold, he didn't. Moses thought he had all covered, but lo and behold, he missed out on the reality of Pharaoh, Egypt, and God's timing. What or which "Jezebel" are ..read more

It reads, "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia." “If all is well, why am I like this?” [Genesis 25:21-22] Paul must have asked this same question several times as he battled with the thorns (difficulties, hardships, persecutions, pains) in his flesh. [2 Corinthians 12:1-10] In all the endowment of his life, he did not lose si ..read more

  We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel, as we continue to dig deeper into verse 13 of Chapter 10. It reads, "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia." We continue digging into the phrase "withstood me," through the contention-filled life of Jacob. Rebekah asked the question. “If all is well, why am I like this?” [Genesis 25:21-22] I just got out of a week of congestion. My whole body lost its strength, and I was off my ..read more

It reads, "But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia." I love scriptures that open to us how the invisible realm operates. If nothing else, it saves us from the deceptions of those who claim they know what they have no clue about. Here the scripture paints the picture of an encounter between an archangel and territorial demons (kings ..read more

We continue digging into the phrase "withstood me." Our calling is to grow into Christ in all things. There is no other way. In John 15, Jesus tells us, "Every branch in me that does not bear fruit will be taken away." Note the word, "Every." It is not some, but every.&nbs ..read more

We continue digging into the phrase "withstood me." I love the way The Passion Translation (TPT) renders Galatian 5:1. It reads, "At last we have freedom, for Christ has set us free! We must always cherish this truth and firmly refuse to go back into the bondage of our past." Whe ..read more

Taking a position and standing are attributes of warriors and champions, in both realms. There is no sitting on the fence. You must pick a stand, lest you be swep ..read more

Let us dig a bit more into the phrase "withstood me." Note we drew a parallel with the "stand-your-ground" law in the States. Wikipedia helps in defining what this law implies.  We closed yesterday looking at Matthew 12:43-45, as we expatiated what it means to "withstand ..read more

We continue with our meditations in The Book of Daniel. We move on to verse 12 of Chapter 10. It reads, "Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words." The angel's words excite me. He said, Daniel's words matter in "The Throne Room." Heaven was not too busy to get to Daniel's case. It responded the very moment he made the move to call. Heaven did not answer before, but immediately Daniel made a move to call. Meaning, that for as long ..read more
