My Lord and my God, I just come before you now in the heavenly courts. I stand in front of the courtroom and I ask: Is the King meeting today to address my accuser? Is the King of Heaven having a session today on Friday, July 31st? If so, hear my plea Oh Lord: Is the liar standing before the throneroom accusing me that I am a bad father? Is the liar standing before the throneroom accusing my children of being rebellious, unloved, disobedient, prideful?  Lord, I just pray and ask, how dare he? What gives him the legal right? Did he go to the grave, dig up our dead past and bring it before You? Was he out fishing in the Eastern sea of forgetfulness for the sins you cast there? Was he in the Western sea dredging for my sunken transgressions that you buried there? How dare the graverobber come before the courts of Heaven and dump this garbage on the holy table as evidence of his accusation! That is illegal! He has no license nor permission to go against my Almighty God and Your finished wo

  Shooting Blanks - Rest as a Weapon By Dewey Compton February, 2019 blog Have you ever considered the possibility that our adversaries are shooting blanks when they attack us? What if when we believe their lie, we re-arm the lie making it a damaging weapon? But Jesus “disarmed” the enemy.   (“Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! Colossians 2:15 TPT”) I asked the Holy Spirit about this one day. Obviously, the enemy is doing damage on the Earth. How could he be disarmed? Then this thought came to my mind: “He is shooting blanks.”   Immediately I was taken back in my memory to an experience I had while spending a week with the US Marines in San Diego, CA. We were standing by a tank listening to a weapons speciali

by Dewey Compton I'm stepping into the shower and this thought enters my mind: One of the activities in Heaven will be seeing all the people who touched our life through Jesus on Earth and those we touched through Jesus and the impact across the globe and universe. It's going to blow our minds. That's probably why we are getting new bodies and minds. Just a quick thought. I'm showering and Alexia plays my music. Then a song comes on from a band many of you have probably never heard. Any Adam Again fans out there? I remember my first encounter with them. I was with Carl Melton and we went to Knott's Berry Farm Jubilee which was a huge night of concerts of Christian Bands. It had to have been December 31, 1989. We met Gene Eugene at their table. He was so down to earth and friendly. He gave Carl and me a free tee Shirt. It was a white Tee with a simple black Tree and Adam Again under it based on the song Treehouse. (That wasn't the song that came on though althoug

by Dewey Compton After Earth, with Will Smith and his real-life son Jaden Smith is a film from 2013 about a father and a son going on a journey to change and grow in relationship. It's about healing brokenness in family, dealing with blame from past mistakes in a post-apocalyptic action film from director M. Night Shyalamam who co-wrote with Gary Whitta. It's also about battling an alien monster who finds us by "sensing" the pheromones released from us when we choose fear. One of the famous lessons we can learn from the film happens when  General Cypher Raige (Will Smith) explains to his son  Kitai Raige (Jaden) a life-saving lesson:  “Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is the product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity. Now do not misunderstand me, danger is very real, but fear is a choice.” "We are all telling ourse

I Did It All by Myself! by the one whom Jesus plays with I’m sitting on my patio this beautiful quiet morning, reading from Zach Maldonado's book, Perfect and Forgiven.   I was rereading some things as I am going to be participating in a zoom/Facebook Live event next week with him about his book. I am reading from chapter 6, Delighted In, about when a toddler begins to walk for the first time how it’s like the Super Bowl for them. The parents cheer and praise him/her for this huge accomplishment. Then, when they begin to explore more, and fall, mom and dad are not angry at them for falling, but pick them up, kisses them, do a raspberry on their belly, stand them up, and cheer them on to keep walking again.   Are you seeing this yet? This is really a picture of us with God. He is not angry if we fall. I'm still reading and enjoying my coffee when I hear my toddler neighbor, Will, enter his back yard. He is awake. All I hear is this: “I did it all by mysel

An Opportune Thing by Dewey Compton What Does God want to produce out of this quarantine? The church can’t go back to the same way of doing things. God is getting personal! Have you gotten what you are supposed to get in this time that you can’t get otherwise? What is this opportune thing God is wanting to do now for such a time as this? I am reminded of when Jesus was on this Earth as God’s son. The gospel of John is filled with phrases of Jesus telling the people He only does what the Father does or tells him. They are one. Jesus did not come to do His will, but the Father’s who sent Him.  Often Jesus had to get away from all the business, the ministry, the people, and spend time with His Father. He sets the example for us. It is clear that Jesus needed to be clear at hearing the Father’s voice and seeing things the way the Father sees things. So as He went about His day interacting with people, He did exactly the Father’s will. This is our mission today. I
