I’d like you to consider today a moment in time when your life made perfect sense: a time when it all came together, when you felt alive and useful and connected, and there was purpose not just in what you were doing, but who you were being. Think of a time like that. I call these Really Real Moments.

“I believe a time is opening in front of us where barriers are coming down, veils are being lifted, and the gates of heaven are swinging open, beckoning us to come through. For some of us this will feel like an invasion. For some of us this will feel like a visitation. For some of us this will sound crazy. And for others of us it will sound like an invitation, and I hope that is the case for you.”

Words have tremendous power and in the kingdom of God they stick and they stay. The internet is a good metaphor. Whatever we write or blog or post on the internet becomes a live entity that stays there forever.

So what about God’s Word?
