Tattoo Interpretation Training Brings a Stir in England!

Tattoo Interpretation Training Brings a Stir in England! Doug Addison July 20, 2011 I was in Torquay, Devon England last weekend and I heard God clearly tell me that I had to record my Tattoo and Piercing Interpretation training course before I left there. I stayed up until 3am…

2010 Divine Connections: Resign, Realign and Reassign

Sometimes God can speak to us but we may forget what He has said. Later on, we experience what He revealed to us previously and then it starts to make sense. This happens to me all the time. That is why I use a computer journal to record my spiritual…

I’m back!

Quick update! You might wonder what happened to my blog in 2008? After our website was hacked in 2007 we started having major website posting problems. We finally gave up and I focused on what I do best…writing, speaking, comedy, and dream interpretation. We are back! I don’t really like…

All you need is oxygen, tights, and love

Linda and I just celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. I was scheduled to speak at a business seminar in Las Vegas so we went a few days early and saw the Cirque du Soleil show, Love. I was wondering if a group of French acrobats running around in tights dancing…

Phone call with a hacker

I used to be a computer geek and I owned a computer network consulting company in San Francisco. Since I have a high tech background, getting our website hacked last week was not a fun experience. Actually, I kind of took it personal. Anyway, I was working late at the…

Rod Stewart visits Amish country

Linda and I spent a few days in Millersburg, Ohio visiting my family. We had dinner in Berlin, a small town with a lot of Amish people. The Amish are a very interesting people. They do not use modern technology, like cars, electricity, etc. So they are all over town…

Perpetual bad hair day

My hair is a big deal to me. Call it vane (my wife does) but I don?t have any hobbies or pets but my hair takes about as much effort. I have had nothing but bad experiences with getting my hair cut in North Carolina. Since I do events on…

Bait and switch

Living in a rural town in the South has its advantages. No one can hear you cry in the woods as you miss big city fine dining. I guess we could take a Cooking Road Kill class and expand our menu options. Food is a big deal for people who…

Need a little nap

Blogs can be pretty stupid sometimes. You ever notice that most people Blog about not blogging ? why they can?t seem to keep their Blog current. Well, here goes another one. Somehow, being on the road (don?t know why they call it that because I spend more time in the…

Dave’s not here

Went to San Francisco and had a great meeting with some old friends there. If anything I had some great Mexican food and saw Cheech and Chong reruns. I went from there to Tegucigalpa Honduras. I ate some great Mexican food and saw Cheech and Chong reruns on TV at…

What I did on my summer vacation

Linda and I took a week?s vacation in the Smokey Mountains. We stayed at the Cherokee Indian reservation and attended the annual Pow-Wow. I determined that Indian reservations are a bad place to be on a low-carb diet. My ancestors were Cherokee and many of them lived in the area…

No Gomers

My Europe trip has been a blur. Two weeks in other time zones means laying awake at night? I got revelation after revelation?but I forgot to write it all down. I kept thinking, there must be a good blog in this somewhere. Then it happened. I was speaking at a…

Doug is currently on sabbatical, so we have an excerpt from one of our live Zoom calls for Partners. If you want to become a Partner and gain access to future live Zoom calls (as well as past calls in their entirety), go to DougAddison.com/TimeOff for all the details. Brian Simmons gave a powerful message about accessing God’s creativity in us! Here are a few of the notes: Brian started out by saying that when God said, “Let there be light,” He imagined it first. Before we can create something, it must be in our minds. Think about the way artists look at a blank canvas, and then they bring something glorious into being. Creativity starts in our heart and in our thoughts. Creativity takes us into the mystery of worship. We don’t have to have answers, we only worship. Man was not made to analyze God. Man was not made to put God into his finite head. What a small place to put the living God! The door to truth is not the intellect. The door to truth is the spirit yielded to God. The intellect is a very weak tool in the Kingdom of God. Our thoughts and our minds apart from God … are an enemy. The biggest devil you’re going to face in the coming days is on your shoulders. You’re going to have to deal with thoughts and deal with getting out of your mind—getting into a realm that goes beyond natural thinking … and stepping into that eternal realm of the Kingdom of God. Jesus was crucified at Golgotha—“the place of the skull.” Until the cross pierces your skull, revelation can’t enter. Golgotha comes from the Aramaic root word where we get the name Goliath. Goliath is like the mind of man—that intimidating, better-than-you, taller-than-you, stronger-than-you mentality of arrogance. It’s religious arrogance—the know-it-all arrogance. This must be cut off! Where did David’s stone hit Goliath? In his head! Freedom starts in the mind, first, and then we see our actions change. Here’s how to access the realm of creativity: Worship despite mystery and in spite of not having answers. Worship opens the door to creativity! The purpose of creation is to display the glory of God. The purpose of your life is to display the glory of God, and you’re going to do it! Brian filled us in on his training as a linguist and how he was sent to the jungle as a missionary. He assisted with the translation process with a people group who never had a language in a written form. After that, he came back to the US and pastored for eighteen years. Brian never thought he’d use his translation skills again … and then Jesus came into his room in 2000, breathed on him and gave him his commission. Brian felt the breath of Heaven upon his heart. Brian feels the Lord’s divine presence on him as he translates. He feels the Lord flowing through him, helping him and encouraging him. Brian charges us to remember this: There’s nothing greater than being an instrument in the hands of God. Make this your prayer for the rest of the month: “Use me, Lord.” Just those three words. And if you get tired of saying those, start saying, “Let Him kiss me.” These simple prayers will unleash something within you! InLight Connection thanks Brian Simmons for sharing his heart with us!
