[MP: The following statements were made by Derek Prince in his program about the Headship of Jesus in Acts. I felt these points were important enough to stand alone. Please refer to Open Ended Worship for more.]
Basic Conditions to meet for us to hear from Jesus, the Head of the Church.

I am very fortunate to be a subscriber to GodTV hosted on our satellite. There have been so many programs, conferences and lecturers that have been a “now-word” for my life. I am particularly blessed to record Derek Prince’s weekly lectures. The following notes are from his 2-part series on “The Headship of Jesus” and [...]
The author, Beni Johnson and her husband, Bill, are the senior pastors of Bethel Church Redding, California. Beni is Senior Prayer Pastor.
I received this book as a Christmas gift from a dear friend, who knows my heart for prayer. I found Beni Johnson’s book to be real, level-headed and straight from the heart. There were [...]
The Lie and The Revelation
This past December, my sister was here for a visit. One morning we were sitting outside with our coffee and talking about our childhood. I said to her, “The reason I was overweight was because of the steroids.” The moment I spoke it, it was like fireworks flashing. I literally jumped [...]

One of the things I like about where we live is all of the perennial plantings and groupings. We have some color all throughout the year and plenty of greens and textures to enjoy. All of the homeowners seem to take the same apporach to their landscaping with small areas or pots for seasonal color. [...]

Many years ago I [...]
It’s still raining off and on this week, but I chose a good time to head out. After my walk, I sat on my bench and watched the clouds and noted that there were 3 layers. The first layer, closest to me, was moving very fast. The second layer was actually moving in the opposite [...]
Southern California has been buffeted by a series of storms this week. All last night and throughout the morning I’ve been hearing thunder. As I listened to the thunder, I thought about Ben Kingsley in the movie, “Moses,” when he stood with the people of Israel at Mt. Sinai. I was intrigued by how Mr. [...]
