The Spirit of Leviathan Audio Review Questions

/

Although Leviathan is a mythological creature, his characteristics in the Book of Job mimic the seven deadly sins in Proverbs 6:16-19. Haughty eyes–A lying tongue–Hands that shed innocent blood–A heart that plots wicked schemes–Feet that run to evil–A false witness who spouts lies–One who stirs up strife among brothers.

Tekoa unveils David’s patience, military tactics, and wisdom as the Holy One allows the spirits working through Saul to prepare David for kingship. If you have been under significant attacks, if people are twisting your words and misconstruing your deeds, this book is a must listen– ideal for book clubs and study groups. Each chapter conveniently closes with a question review page to facilitate discussion.

Updates

Update and Photo Dump

For those of you who went camping for a week, I hope you had a wonderful time. There is nothing like a warm beverage and a campfire, and there is also nothing like a beach gathering. Being outside and unplugged with friends and family is the way to go if you can do it. Also, practicing self-love, self-care, and, of course, a good book. Wink, wink.

This month, we gave away almost 1,000 free Polishing Jades. We pray that every broken woman trying to flee abuse or needing strength to see her worth is blessed by Jade!

#Heart Matters, Introspection

Identity, and the Death of Introspection

/

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin” (I Peter 4:1).

Let’s stop here and meditate on what it may look like to “ARM” ourselves. It has obvious military undertones. This walk, at times, is a battle. Be armed. Be ready. Be of sound mind. Suffering is part of our walk. However, when many go through suffering, they tend to blame this on satan and cannot see at times clearly what is actually going on and also why a deeper work is happening in our person. In my book The Spirit of Leviathan, I use a person in a casket as an example of our flesh man getting under control.

The Month of Elul, The Prophet Haggai

Elul and the Prophet Haggai

/

How often have you read the verses above from Haggai and thought, I’m sowing much but not seeing the fruit? I feed on His Word and attend church/assembly and gatherings, but I’m never satiated. My spiritual garments aren’t lighting the wick of my lamp and igniting a flame to warm others. Or I’m earning wages at my job but can barely keep my head above water.

#Heart Matters, Thou Worm, Jacob

Do You See Me?

/

It was 2009, a Friday night prayer meeting at a chapel. I sit in the back alone. I am single now. The evangelist ends the prayer meeting with a call for those needing prayer. I walk up to the front, cane in hand. There are about ten of us lined up across the floor. The man has a bottle of anointing oil, and one by one, he is anointing people’s heads and praying for each one. He begins to prophesy over a few, and then he gets to me. He does the same thing he has done to everyone else but then stops. “Hmm, God wants me to anoint your hands. He has a work for you involving healing.”

Dead Flies, Honey Bees, and our Hearing

Dead Flies, Honey Bees, and our Hearing

/

Dead flies make the perfumer’s ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor. ECC 10:1

A little folly. How much trouble can one get into by mixing a little folly—a little stupidity? A lot! And once it’s mixed in, everything is spoiled. Does this folly come from a lack of hearing? Shema. Hearing and obedience. Who do we listen to most intently? Do we lack a keen ear for those we interact with daily?
