Man, I don’t know if you are sensing this, but there is a big-time momentum spiritually right now! Seriously, it’s been dry for so long spiritually, and now God is starting to bring some rain again. I’m hearing of people all over being drawn to pray, where they haven’t had a desire to in a long time, as in years, and they’re lives are being changed! Hey, don’t sit on the sidelines, jump in the game… I’m serious, you don’t want to miss this! Start seeking Him like crazy in your spare time. Start studying the Bible like mad and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the Heart of the Father to you! And if you do, get ready for a ride man! Check out Hosea 10:12 and be a doer of the Word in Jesus’ name!

Today, my friend Joe and I visited a man named “Fat Willy. He’s one of the best, if not the best guy in Colorado to take old tube amplifiers to. You walk in the front door of his shop on S. Broadway sideways because there’s racks 15 feet high filled with every kind of tube you can imagine… literally thousands of tubes. I’ve never seen anything like it. The first 3 times that I interacted with Fat Willy, I was totally stunned by his rudeness to me as a customer. But today was different…today my judgements of Fat Willy bit the dust as he sat and talked with us for nearly a half hour about all kinds of stuff. The guy is hilarious! As flabbergasted as I was after my first encounters with Fat Willy, I was that much more after this visit. Ironically, on the way over there I was talking to Joe about the Fear of the Lord, and how, if it is the motivator of your heart, you are not judgemental. At least, you’re not judgemental in terms of making snap decisions about someone based on what you see or hear. But the Fear of the Lord does give you discernment. There’s a huge difference in being judgementmental and having discernment. (Is. 11:2-5). I was judgemental toward Fat Willy because of what I saw and heard, but I didn’t have discernment toward him. As I’m sitting here writing, I’m praying for Fat Willy, but I’m also repenting to God because of my judgementalism.
PS: He’s big, but he’s not really that fat…weird. I think I’m going to change my name to “Heavy D”… but I’m pretty sure that’s already taken.

Last Thursday I was praying and the Lord spoke something to my heart. He said, “The work of the enemy is subtle and simple right now: a diversion of the eyes.” It’s a shiny object that you catch out of the corner of the eye, it’s a pebble in your shoe, it’s a tiny black dot on a white, lineless piece of paper. It’s purpose is to draw your attention away… away from what? Away from the Lord. All satan wants to do right now is move your head 3 inches to the right or left. A diversion of the eyes is a diversion of attention. For me, the last 3 weeks, my attention has been on my ankle. I spainged it really bad playing volleyball and have been on crutches the last 2 weeks. I talked about it, thought about it, it hurt so I elevated it, heated it iced it, prayed over it, whined about it, and it got all my attention. Pretty subtle and simple, extremely effective. Could I have chosen to dwell on other things… yes, but I didn’t most of the time, and was rendered less effective. Check out Colossians 3.
Take a minute to ID what the
shiny object, 
annoying pebble, 
and little black dot are in your life, 
and simply look in God’s direction instead!
