"If repentance bears no fruit, then faith has no virtue. We change when the misery of where we are is greater than the fear of change." ~ Neil This past month has been a transformative season. Our move from a large 3,500 sq. ft. ministry space into a 1,200 sq. ft. home forced us [...]
Relationship with God is not a goal to attain, but a continuous journey of communication, communion, and growing in knowledge of each other. Focus on knowing God and living in His presence, rather than trying to work to have a relationship with Him. The miraculous will naturally follow those who live in this intimate [...]
Neil emphasizes the importance of intimacy with the Father, obedience to His will, and living out the principles of faith rather than just speaking about them. Key Points: Faith and Obedience: Obeying God's commands is a result of love and intimacy with Him. God’s instructions are not demands from a boss but guidance from [...]
Neil reflects on his desire to walk closely with God and experience His presence rather than seeking material blessings or miraculous signs. He yearns to satisfy God's desires and to see God's kingdom manifested on earth. Psalm 63:1-8 "O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; [...]

What is God's creation saying to you today? Because of creation, we should know that He is God. There is peace and rest in His creation. His voice is heard in creation. What if I could just trust Him with my life and that God is in all that I do? That God is [...]
"If only Jesus and Paul would have had our present methods, curriculum, and our agendas to use in our discipleship they probably would have been more effective in sharing the gospel and reaching the world in their day, but alas, they only had the name of Jesus, intimacy with Him, and Holy Spirit to [...]
Neal is sharing from Norway about a conversation He had with the Lord during and after a dream. If what you do in the spiritual realm is not affecting the natural realm, why do you call it God? If what you do in the supernatural arena does not affect the natural arena, why do [...]
