Reflections on the 3-day trip to India from Perth, Australia. TRUST - recognize that God's ways our not our ways. God's nature is unfathomable. Do we really love Jesus? Are we willing to lay down our lives for His purpose and kingdom? Or is it just words? What happened in India was a crazy [...]
Today I turned 73! I never figured I'd make it to 50. I woke up to the words from Jesus, "I'm so glad you're still alive today, Neil. Happy Birthday!" The Lord is rewarding me with His presence. The walk Jesus walked on this earth should be the foundation of who we are. Look [...]

Why isn't there MORE, Jesus? Why don't you show up more? What keeps you from healing more? He answered me with a picture of a church with doors locked from the inside. Is the manifestation of Jesus in our lives held up because of our closed doors? Many times I have restricted Jesus because [...]
Promises are made to be trusted. What did you do to test the promise out? What have you done to show that you have put trust in God in His promise? God wants us to move in trust.
