Feed Them Where They Are (Isaiah 66:11)

I want to share with you a vision from God communicated through Isaiah, where Israel was to become a nurturing and abundant feeding station. Just like a mother who lovingly nourishes her children, Israel was destined to be a source of sustenance where people from all corners could be fed and cared for. In the same way, you, as a cherished child of God, are being transformed into a place of nourishment for others to partake in the bread of heaven.

As you walk this journey of faith, remember that people are at different stages of their spiritual growth, akin to individuals needing different levels of sustenance. Some may be at the colostrum level, symbolizing the beginning stages of spiritual nourishment akin to the liquid substance preceding milk. It is essential to cater to individuals based on where they are in their journey. If someone requires colostrum, provide them with colostrum, meeting them at their specific point of need.

Different individuals are at various levels of spiritual maturity, analogous to being at different stages of milk consumption. Some may be at the initial milk level, ready to receive only a small amount. Others may be at a stage where they can handle "milk and cereal," requiring a bit more substance to sustain them through the night. As a spiritual guide, it is crucial to be inventive and adaptable in your approach to feeding others where they are at in their journey. This ensures they can digest and absorb the teachings without feeling overwhelmed or choked by the information presented to them.

Some individuals are at the puree stage, analogous to how I would prepare my daughters' food by blending it until it was easier for them to consume. While they may not be able to handle solid food in its original form, they are still in need of sustenance and nourishment. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Others may have progressed to the meat level, where they require solid or challenging content to chew on. These individuals seek deeper concepts, ideas, and challenges that stimulate their thinking and understanding. As a mentor or guide, it is essential to meet people at their respective stages, providing them with the appropriate nourishment and knowledge they need to grow and develop in their spiritual journey.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
