The Pure in Heart Will See God
Recently, God was speaking to me about holiness. Holiness extends beyond simple religious "dos" and "don'ts." It cannot be relegated to legalism or to the appearance of religious piety through ritual and service to God. Holiness flows from the heart—an inner consecration not only to the things of God but to the very person of God. Holiness gives one entryway into the fragrance of Christ being manifested through you. It does not require one to be "churchy"!
2 Corinthians 2:14 says, "But thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ and reveals the fragrance of His knowledge through us in every place" (EHV). This goes beyond gifting. Holiness comes through purification by the Spirit of God, often through intensified dealings with God... (more)

Angela Robinson, Scottsdale, Arizona
Introduction from Anne Jackson:
I met Angela several years ago through a mentorship offered through The Crowning Jewels. My heart was immediately drawn to her, as I could tell that she was authentic and hungry, and I could see God moving on her heart. She pursues Him with her whole heart, and hungers to know Him in a deeper way. Angela is in tune to what God is doing, and anyone who reads what she writes will be blessed to view the world through her eyes.

When God Works Outside the Box
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty." (1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV)
Over the years, I have learned that God rarely works the way I expect Him to.
If I am honest, much of my life has felt a little odd and unusual and not always in a comfortable way.
I did not always fit in. I was not quite the same as the rest of my family. I did not always think the same way, respond the same way, or even catch the joke when everyone else laughed. For a long time, I wondered if something was wrong with me.
Now I know better. God uses that... (more)

US Intercepts Possible Iranian Islamic Regime 'Sleeper Assets' Trigger
BCN Editor's Note: While we should all remain alert to things around us, as Believers in Jesus we do not have to be fearful. God tells us in the Bible to "Fear not," or "Do not be afraid" many times, and doing a search on those verses will be very helpful in gaining courage for the times in which we live. So when we hear of sleeper cells in our country or abroad, instead of becoming terrified, keep this verse in mind: "Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you." (Deut. 31:6) And remember: "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Tim. 1:7) -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News
