Time of Birth
By: Lill Kohler Daniel 9:25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens’, and sixty-two ‘sevens’. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.” (NIV) (606-534 B.C.) Luke 2:1-5 … Continue reading Time of Birth
The Second Philip
As I prepared for the "Relating to the Inner Twelve" series on my Rocking My World blog site I was reminded that the Philip in Acts 8 who was transported to a different location was NOT the apostle Philip. He was one of the Greek men chosen to help the apostles. (Acts 6:5) At first … Continue reading The Second Philip
Now is The Time?
I'm learning something about recently spoken prophetic words. They can take some time to come true...or rather be fulfilled in our physical world. I've heard some prophetic words in the last couple of years and thought they would happen fast. Lo and behold, they haven't. I'm still waiting. I know, I should have known better. … Continue reading Now is The Time?
The Good Soil
Finally, we're at the good soil. It's been a hard trek through the farmer's field. My experience with improving my gardens in Texas has involved the removal of rocks and thistles and weeds. Digging deep to remove the root system was the only thing I found worked. In the end, my gardens looked beautiful. What … Continue reading The Good Soil

Sadly, I can't tell a thistle flower from cute field flowers. So, I get pricked from time to time. Of course, some of these flowers are … Continue reading Third Soil
Second Soil
It never ceases to amaze me when I see flowers and trees growing on or right next to rocks. While they are thriving on the rock, there is limited growth. When I compare the nearby trees, I can see the tree in the rock is much smaller. The soil we're looking at today is that … Continue reading Second Soil
First Soil
So here we go with the different soils. Obviously, the first one is the rough area along the road. Although, the NLT version calls it a footpath. Let's remember that it's a farmer who is planting the seed in his field. We learn from the story that the field is not exactly smooth in all … Continue reading First Soil
How Do The Seeds Fall?
Have you ever seen a flower growing on a rocky surface and wondered, "How does it do that?" Maybe the next question is, does it last long or does it wither away quickly? Jesus spoke about the growth on weird surfaces in Mark 4, Matthew 13, and Luke 8. Can growth happen on these strange … Continue reading How Do The Seeds Fall?
Wake Up
Do you see how much life has changed in recent years? Stable ways of living and thinking are upside down or flying away with the wind. Some look at these things and think it can't get any worse. Then wonder if there is any chance of a return to "normal life". If what I'm hearing … Continue reading Wake Up
