Moses sends out the twelve spies, ten doubt and two believe God’s promises

October 25th, 2007 | Category: Insights

Here is an example of how people tend to respond to the spoken Word (Rhema -God breathed living Word or revelation) of God and the costly outcome of their unbelief. Jesus said that new wine needs to be poured into new wine skins because if it is poured into old wine skins will burst and all will be lost. Therefore, in this posting Dr. Des is going to motivate you in your thinking, ie to have a paradigm shift. To change one’s worldly way of thinking and renewing the mind to be a possibility thinker and move in a new direction for you life. This move toward what God has called you to do will be a challenge, and the Devil will try to steal this word by trying to make you doubt

what God has said. Just like he did in the Garden of Eden.

“Peace with God” or “Peace of God” that is the question!

October 08th, 2007 | Category: Insights

In this life peace is very illusive. One minute one has it and the next it is gone! Is it possible to have peace no matter what circumstances one finds oneself in? Since most of us operate on a “I feel good today basis” and therefore peaceful, we hope against all odds that the bottom of our world is not going to fall out in the next couple of minutes or hours and “l (we are peaceful) and the next moment our world seems to collapse in on itself (no peace). How can this be? Listen there is hope and this week Dr Des is going to explain to you that there is a ‘peace that surpasses our understanding’ and it is available in the here and now, today! So let’s go and get a glimpse of the peace that we so desperately need to get us through our daily living.

Tithes + offerings = God’s Protection. But, alms + poor = God’s Multiplication

October 01st, 2007 | Category: Insights

The above equation is really how the God of the Bible works. If we are obedient to give our tithes and offerings, as He says in Malachi 3:8-12,  He says He will protect our source of supply and keep the devourer from us, that is, we have His protection on all that we have been blessed with.  But did you know that when you take of your sustenance and generously give to the poor you will be loaning to God (Proverbs 19:17) and oh the interest (paraphrased)!!  Over the past couple of weeks Dr. Des has been doing a series on giving and when he teaches it is from his experiences.

He is not talking about “pie in the sky” but the reality of his giving and the examples the Holy Spirit has taught him.  This week he is going to share two examples of what happened in his life which will be a way you too can glean from his experiences and apply it to your life.  When Jesus says that a person has ‘good eyes’ what does he mean?  Enough said, let’s go and see this weeks posting. . . . .

Where was the Gospel first mentioned?

June 18th, 2007 | Category: Insights

Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (Torah) or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished (Matt. 5:17,18 NIV). “The Jewish Rabbis have a quaint way of expressing this very idea: they say that

they will not understand the Scriptures until the Messiah comes. But, when He comes, He will not only interpret each of the passages for us, He will interpret the very words; He will even interpet the very letters themselves; in fact, He will even interpret the spaces between the letters!” (Personal Update, June 1993 p. 13) For a closer examination of this truth, turn your attention to Genesis Chapter 5, that is, the geneology of Adam through Noah. Then examine the meanings of the names.
