ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Dealing With Fear, Part 1

June 27, 2014

Peter and Janet Van Hierdan are friends we've known for the past nine years.  We met under rather unusual circumstances during a tour of the National Cemetery in Washington, DC.  Peter was walking in front of us, engaged in an animated discussion with a Canadian friend.  I couldn't help overhearing them as Peter was describing a series of puzzling events that were taking place in his…

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Aphiémi Healing, Part 35

June 20, 2014

Earlier this past week, I had an experience that has been an eye-opener.  Some sixty years have gone by since I was first baptized in the Holy Spirit.  On the night that I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues, it was nearly four hours before I could speak a word in English.  My brother tried to carry on a conversation with me but I couldn't answer him in…

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Aphiémi Healing, Part 34

June 13, 2014

We were doing a bit of reminiscing in the past few days about some of the rather humorous events of our childhoods and I was sharing with folks an event that took place in the winter of 1947 in Nome, Alaska.  We'd had a rather spectacular snowfall resulting in snowdrifts anywhere from 7 to 20 feet deep.  Being both the son of a preacher and a missionary, and having a call myself -- even…

Ever have the Lord spring surprises on you?  Ever have Him provide unusual favor in circumstances where it might not be likely?  Well, sometimes it's just really cool to see God perform quickly and in unusual ways to our requests.  That's not to take away from the fact that we should automatically come boldly before the Throne of God and…

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Aphiémi Healing, Part 32

Della caught an "OOPS!" in part 30 that got past me, and it seemed like a good idea to start today by correcting that misstatement.  I said, "Jesus fulfilled both parts of the Covenant -- His part as the provider and enforcer, and our part, which required the shedding of blood for the remission (aphiémi: eradication) of all…

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Aphiémi Healing, Part 31

May 23, 2014

This is a strange way to begin today, but let me begin by asking you a question.  Why is it that we continue to put up with the physical attacks on our bodies?  Why do we simply accept colds, flu, headaches, allergies, sinus attacks, muscle aches and pains that just seem to be prolonged when we really haven't…

ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: Aphiémi Healing, Part 29

May 9, 2014

Dale Petersen and his wife, Merlee, pastored a fellowship in Spokane for a number of years known as Springs of Living Water.  Della and I first met them through mutual friends in late 1990 or early 1991.  There was an instant bond that formed between us, and over the next decade or so we had a wonderful level of fellowship together.  As we moved into…
