THE BIBLE IS NOT THE MEAL IT'S THE MENU
A few days ago, on this program, I talked about looking through my old Bibles and being inspired by the notes I made in the flyleaf. In doing that program, I took a picture of 17 Bibles I've managed to keep from the 65 years I've been active in the ministry. Many of them are worn out, and pages are falling apart—some I set aside for a different translation.
I love the Bible. It is the foundation of our Christian life in our relationship with God. However, somewhere along the journey, I discovered that the Bible was not the meal but the menu. The Bible is a dead book without God's spirit involved as you read and meditate. The Scriptures tell us that the letter kills us, but the spirit makes us alive.
Professors worldwide in various universities and higher learning centers teach the Bible through the eyes of the unconverted. To those professors, it is history or poetry, and most of it isn't very clear to them.
Unfortunately, too many Christians read the Bible in somewhat the same way. When Paul received the revelation of Jesus Christ and who he was to us, he made a bold, interesting statement. First, he said he wanted to avoid going back and interacting with the apostles so they would tell him about the historical Jesus. He was interested in something other than the repetitive pictures of Jesus feeding the 5000 or healing the sick.
He commented that he didn't want to know Jesus after the flesh.
When the gospels tell us about the life and ministry of Jesus, there's something behind that story that is greater than the fact he fed the 5000 and healed the sick. The more significant message is that he completed the desires of the Father by fulfilling the Old Testament covenant and preparing for the New Testament covenant. The acts of his miracles were not just to be studied in themselves, but they pointed as a menu does toward more incredible things.
Those more incredible things for Jesus were his preparation for the cross and the resurrection. Everything we see him do in the New Testament points toward the activity that changed history: his sacrifice for mankind. And his resurrection proves his deity.
I love the Bible, but I look through the page past the ink to the Holy Spirit's message that it gives to me.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PROPHECY?
Questions abound both in the church and outside of the church. What is the purpose of prophecy, some ask? Oddly enough, there seems to be more of an openness to the spiritual world, such as prophecy, than there is in the broad church itself.
For those outside of the church, prophecy has another name; some call it terret cards. Another name would be Ouija board or a séance. All of these have to do with the occult world. However, the underlying attraction to this is a desire to look into the spiritual world and see what's coming down the road.
Have you ever wondered why the human race desires to look into the spiritual? Every tribe and group of people in history has always had something spiritual that they looked into. They do because we have all come out of the bosom of God the Father and desire to return to where we came from: the spiritual world.
When Jesus entered the human race, he came to reveal the Father and to show the world where the human race came from and where they were going. Jesus was a living, walking prophecy. Everywhere he went, and everything he said was the fulfillment of something a prophet in the Old Testament declared about him.
So, one of the purposes of prophecy is to have a revelation of the future and God's destiny and purpose for us.
Biblical prophecy, sanctioned by God himself, is not fortunetelling, nor is it the Ouija board or the séance. The spirits that communicate through those systems do not know the Father.
The prophecy that you and I are involved in as sons and daughters of God is powered by the Holy Spirit and sanctioned by God himself. This is why, according to Ephesians 4 and 11, a prophet is one of the five gifts God gave the church.
Yet he did not regulate prophecy to a single office. He gave it to the body of Christ also. You and I, as believers, have a mandate from God to prophesy. That is to speak forth the purposes of God into your generation, and as you do, you are creating the platform for God to set up his kingdom on and rule and reign therein.

DARKNESS IS NOT A FORCE-IT'S THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT
Do a simple experiment with me. Go into a dark room and find the light switch. Now, Flip the switch and listen closely. Did you hear any resistance, any voices saying I am not leaving this time?
No, you didn't. Because darkness is not a force, it's just the absence of light.
Light has always been the dominant force since God pronounced it with his very voice. He said in Genesis One let light be, and light has been the dominant force ever since.
Matthew's fourth chapter tells us that those who sat in darkness saw a great light when Jesus came into the world. Light constantly expels darkness.
It's not unusual to hear teachers and authors magnifying the power of the devil and darkness to the degree that it overcomes light. Despite how the teacher and author intended that result, it still affects those who take it in.
The record of Jesus's death and resurrection is well-established. The testimony of why he came to this earth to deal with death, sin, and separation from God is clear. He overcame death, hell, and the grave. That includes the power of darkness, which was done away with when he took the authority away from Satan.
The only reason that darkness becomes a superpower in anyone's life is because of blindness to the reality of who you and I are because of what Christ did at his death, resurrection, and ascension to the Father.
That does not change when circumstances in our life look dark or fearful.
There is no change in God's opinion of you when you fail or fall in your journey. The only reason that may affect you is that you become blind to the fact that you have been redeemed and are a son of God.
That's what the light of God is; it has illuminated that you have been brought back to your genesis, the beginning of your life, which is found in God.
The scriptures tell us that we have light, and we are to let it shine so those around us may see the glory of God.
All light originated in the Father; we are his extension to this earth.

SPIRITUAL ADRENALINE
The starting gun fires with a bang, and 12 runners leap into the race.
Plans have been made and carried out for years so that each individual here would be in this contest. Practice and practice again until the body is ready to run the race to win. After all that has been done to prepare, there's just one thing missing: an ingredient that will give them the ability to succeed.
The missing ingredient is adrenaline.
Adrenaline in the natural body is held in reserve until it is needed. The term that is used is "fight or flight." Both of those things need adrenaline to make it happen.
That mysterious ingredient in the body kicked in when the gun went off, and the muscles fired off with superpower.
So it is in the spiritual world and the life that you live as a son of God.
It's called spiritual adrenaline.
Jesus said to his disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost came upon them. ( ACTS 1:8) that power is God's spiritual adrenaline called the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit God manifested on earth in the lives of those who receive.
It is heavenly adrenaline—the power to do.
Jesus told his disciples in John 14 that he would come again in the form of Holy Spirit; when he did, they would remember what he had taught them. Jesus said that the spirit of God would teach them all things.
Wrap your mind around that statement if you can.
Those who believe we have received the Holy Spirit as they did in the Book of Acts speak in tongues and prophesy. When we preach, we talk about the Holy Spirit's unction, which gives us the ability to preach under the anointing.
Yet few of us have stepped into that believing realm that Jesus promised. that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things.
All things?
How could that be? But remember, Jesus is the one who came up with that statement, and we have committed ourselves to believe what he says.
I challenge you in this new day that God has given you to allow the spiritual adrenaline, the Holy Spirit, to be released in your everyday life. Because the Holy Spirit has come to teach you all things and bring all things to remembrance that Jesus has taught.
BIG RACE AHEAD!

TREASURED NOTES FROM MY OLD BIBLES
Walking with the Father through the life he has given us is a hoot. There's never a dull moment. I've discovered over these decades that I have enjoyed his fellowship and that he is a happy God. Some traditional theology has tried to convince the church that he is mad half the time, looking for something to crush us with. Nothing could ever be farther from the truth.
The key verse that shows his attitude toward those he has created is John 3:16. Why would God start loving the world so much that he gave his son as a sacrifice and yet end up trying to find ways to destroy us? The fact is he is a happy God and loves to have fun with his children.
Yesterday the Father said to me, let's have some fun. I want you to collect all of your old Bibles and go through the notes you wrote to yourself on the flyleafs because I want to speak to you from the past.
OK, if you say so, Lord.
So I collected 17 of my old Bibles, the ones I could find on my shelf.
My sisters, who were evangelists at the time, gave me the earliest Bible I preserved on May 10, 1958. They were conducting a great revival campaign in Coos Bay, Oregon, and invited me to come and help.
My sister Joanne writes to me on the flyleaf of the Bible;
Only one life will soon be passed; only what's done for Christ will last.
Read your Bible and pray every day, and you will always be on top for Jesus.
Work for him while it is yet day, for the night comes when no man can work. Philippians 1:21 Your sister, Joanne
I didn't get very far into the stack of Bibles because of the notes, prophecies, and scriptures I came across. Most of them, I had forgotten because of the time that had elapsed since I wrote them. I could hear the Father laughing at my surprise or my emotional response to something I had made a note about.
Our life is a treasure that God has given us. We must remember his goodness because that's what draws us to his heart daily.

MANIFESTING YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE
The history of mankind is filled with stories of hidden treasures and the mysteries behind them. Even the mention of hidden treasure stirs something in the hearts of most of us. In every age, someone was searching for the secrets of those rich treasures buried somewhere on the map.
From the supposed buried treasures of the Pirates to the rumors of Gold buried in the hills of Arizona. The thought of it drove men crazy, even to the point of giving their lives trying to find secret riches.
The apostle Paul talks about a hidden treasure placed within you, and I called Christ himself or the light—second Corinthians. 4:5 gives us an insight into the meaning of that treasure called the light of God. Verse 6 tells us it was hidden there all the time.
In Galatians 4:19, the apostle Paul describes a two-tier approach to the maturing of those he described as his spiritual children.
First of all, he said that he birthed them through his gospel.
The second thing he did, which is equally essential, is travailing for them until Christ is formed in them.
This is a clear description of what God has done for mankind. The gospel reveals Christ and the intercessory prayers of the Saints, mature Christ, in his complete revelation, of who he is to us.
In the original text, sin means to be without form or your allotted portion.
That is the picture Jesus described for them in the Prodigal Son story.
The son of the father lost his portion. That was the sin he was in. He needed to remember who he was. But when he got his mind right and recognized who his father was again. He received his portion back.
The Scriptures tell us; let this mind be in you that was also in Jesus Christ.” He understood who he was and what his purpose was on earth.

THE SEED IS IN THE GROUND
I love to chew on the word of God. After all, it's referred to as milk, bread and meat. Those are natural things that provide nourishment and give us life-giving energy. So because the word of God is referred to as milk, bread, and meat, we can be assured that if we eat and digest the word of God in our spirit, it will give us life-giving strength.
It's promised to give us life forevermore—eternal life.
With that in mind, let me ask you a question. Have you taken a scripture lately or perhaps a series of scriptures and meditated upon them until it went from milk to meat? That particular pattern of studying is not only experienced by "super spiritual" people; it's meant for all believers to experience.
Here's a scripture to consider meditating upon and asking the Holy Spirit for revelation. Ecclesiastes 12: 6-7.
Today, in the video, I want to talk about the seeds God has planted in his excellent ground. There are two parables that Jesus gave us that are well known for teaching about seeds and harvest or return from investment.
Matthew 25 gives us the example of three servants. The master gave them money to invest so that they would have an increase or a harvest from the seeds they planted.
Mark 4 is a well-known discussion of the farmer who cast the seed on different grounds. Each place where the seed was cast gave a different result until it came to the good ground that gave a 100-fold return.
Take a minute to look at the bigger picture through God's perspective.
When God created you and I, he put a seed in us, called our spirit. That's the treasure he put in us, and he expects to get a return for it.
What activates that seed so it will grow to maturity?
The message of the kingdom: the word of God.
This is why Paul gave us that description in Romans 10: 9-10 that the word he preached brings us alive in Christ. The seed of God is already in you. It just needs the water of the word to bring it alive.
This is why we preach the gospel to all men and women that God has released them from the curse, forgiven them, and brought them back to his loving care.
Jesus said that you will have eternal life when you believe who I am.
Think about that.

THE PURPOSE OF OUR DREAM LIFE
If you have been in the Christian World very long, you have no doubt heard someone make this comment about dreams. "Well, dearie, that's just too much pizza before you go to bed." That limited understanding of the Spirit World has caused the church to be so far behind in its revelation of how God speaks and deals with us.
Dreams and visions are a serious part of God's tools for guiding and directing his children. As we journey through this experience we are having on Earth. When they are ignored or slandered, it puts blinders on the body of Christ to see their future and to have timely and clear directions from the Holy Spirit.
Take note of these simple facts about dreams and visions connected to the scriptures and the human race.
Every one of us experiences one to three hours of dream time every night. Just because you don't remember doesn't mean you're not experiencing it.
We spent 3 to 10 years of our life dreaming.
At 70 years of age, you have dreamed 76,650 hours.
At 80 years of age, you have dreamed 87,600 hours.
That's a lot of interaction with the spirit world.
Think about this for a moment.
The New Testament begins with five dreams and two visions.
And it ends with the Book of Revelation, the most significant documented vision in the Bible.
Without dreams and visions, we may not know our beginning and ending.
After all, 200 references in the Scriptures to dreams and visions give instructions and directions to the people of God.
With that in mind, ask the Lord to open up your understanding so you may hear and see what he has in store for you.

THE OPEN DOOR TO HEAVENLY PLACES
The mission that Jesus was assigned to by the Father when he came to earth had many dimensions. His mission was not just to die on the cross and rise from the dead. It was the first to fulfill the Old Testament covenant that Adam failed in. His earthly ministry reflected the fulfillment of the covenant that Adam had received from the Lord. That's what Jesus meant while hanging on the cross when he said, "It is finished. "
Adam was given dominion and rule over the earthly things. He was to dominate, cultivate, and fill the earth with people like himself.
When Jesus came as the second Adam, everything he did was under that covenant. He was not functioning as God. He was serving as a man following and faithful to his Father.
When he challenged us to pick up the mantle of faith and do greater things than he did, it was because we have the same connection to his Father.
We were born of the same Father, with the same DNA and commission.
When Jesus said he was "the way, the truth, and the life," he declared an open door for us to enter into the heavenly realms and be welcomed back to the Father's heart. In the book of John 14, 15, and 16, he prepared his disciples to receive the promise of the Father, which they did in the upper room in Act Two.
Jesus made a way for us to enter where there had been no way, and he did it with his blood sacrifice and his resurrected power.
You don't open the door; the door has been permanently opened. However, you and I must enter that door by faith. When we do, we will experience the reality of heaven.
Several times in the Scriptures, Jesus invited us to enter into His joy.
I remind you today that if you go to that open door, God will bring to that door what he has in mind for your future.
As you peer into that open door, you will see the angels and cherubims, the throne of God, and the Saints of old that have gone on before.
Don't wait for death or the coming of Christ for this to happen. You can experience this as Paul did when he encountered the third heaven.
We commonly call this prayer meditation, seeking the Lord, waiting on him, and enjoying his presence.

JUST IMAGINE THAT
Your imagination is like clay; reform it. There is a mysterious Scripture in the book of Genesis concerning the tower of Babel. God said that if he left these people to their own doing, they could imagine anything and do it. To understand that is so far beyond our comprehension in the natural mind that we miss the power of it.
The imagination is the seedbed for thoughts and actions. Things we end up doing start in that seedbed and grow into giant trees. Our life's good, bad, and ugly originate in our thought patterns.
One of the potent purposes of meditation that is lost to the Western culture is the result of thinking by letting your imagination develop and grow.
The great discoveries, inventions, and technological wonders come from someone's imagination. The same day the dreamer came up with the printing press or the television, someone else came up with evil deeds and desperate thoughts.
Jesus warned us to take no thought and say the things that would harm us.
The Scriptures also tell us to cast down those types of imaginations and take them captive to the word of God unto Christ.
Your imagination and your thought life come out of your heart, and because Christ lives there, you can let him mold you in his image. This is what we call maturity, or growing in Christ.
The apostle Paul referred to this as carnal people, those who let their imaginations run their lives into the works of the flesh. When we rest in the lord, cast or care for him, and trust him to keep us, that shapes our imagination.
After all, we are patterned after God himself; because of that, we are creative and inventive. Just like our heavenly father, we release that creative power through our mouth by the words we speak.
Be aware of your thoughts and imaginations; your words will reflect your heavenly father.
