  • Dear Mike, I recently came to a point where I felt a need to fast and seek God to understand why he seemed to be withholding physical blessings. For the past several years, it seemed that no matter what I did, my efforts were not rewarded. It was just plain weird! No matter the variety of seed nor t... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, Was reading one of your articles this morning before heading out to work and I had a thought I would like to bounce off of you (see cut and paste of scripture below... bold font your emphasis). Miriam being shut out of the camp for 7 days (i. e. 7 meaning completely shut out of the camp)...... [read more]

This expressly states that the Spirit of the Lord came upon D... [read more]
  • Hi Mike, I truly enjoy your site and have read with great interest the majority of it. One thing I still struggle with is figuring out what is the right time to read something as literal vs. spiritual. Of course all God's words are ultimately spiritual, which I am sure will ultimately explain my que... [read more]
  • Hello Mike, Thank you for the email clarifications. I have a question about the teaching of the "sinners and hypocrites in Zion". As part of that study, you had written: Rom 11:31 Even so have these [ all in unbelief] also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. Rom 11:... [read more]
