Do you ever look around at others who are making a difference and question whether you can do the same? Sometimes it just takes one act of obedience, surrender, courage, passion, or generosity to dramatically affect the lives of others. When Moses obeyed God (though reluctantly) and confronted Pharaoh, the people of Israel were delivered from bondage (Exodus 12:31-50). Esther’s Read More
Don’t Postpone Joy
Last year marked something new, something different. Things started shifting and moving. I’ve been locked in and locked out. I’ve been shut in and shut up. I’ve been passionate. Sometimes a little too passionate. I’ve spoken when I should have remained silent and remained silent when I should have spoken. I’ve felt this urgency, an urgency I can’t explain. And Read More
Warriors
So, where do I start? As we enter into 2021, The Lord has impressed on me TO FIGHT, FIGHT IN THE SPRIT! We are in a battle, but not just some ordinary battle; this is Spiritual warfare! Everything that has been going on around us the past twelve months has made it easy for us to take the bait of Read More
New Beginnings
Happy New Year! Well, we made it through another year, and what a year it was! So much happened in 2020, but it feels as though not all of it was a loss! As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about [a]this present result, to keep many people alive. Genesis 50:20 NASB I Read More
Unseasonal Gifts
The gifts God urges us to give are not limited to fitting under a Christmas tree one day of the year; they are not seasonal. The gifts He urges us to give are as endless as His creativity and compassion. Read More
Joy in the Midst of a Crazy and Turbulent World
Have you ever noticed; when God starts working something on the inside of you, the enemy immediately comes to try to steal it away. That is what the enemy does. He comes to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) God has been stirring in my heart the truth about joy. One moment, I would be thinking about the joy of Read More
Have You Ever Thought?
Have you ever thought about Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil? Luke 4:1-13. The Holy Spirit lead Jesus, the Holy Spirit was with Jesus. Just like the Holy Spirit is with us and in us. John 14:16-17 JESUS KNEW HIS ENEMY I thought to myself, wow, Jesus, you were willing Read More
Dead Ends
I went for a walk this afternoon and there were several ladies walking around praying. I looked around, trying to find an area where I could be alone. I spotted a path with only one other person on it. As I walked, I began to tell the Lord of my love for Him and to invite Him to do as He wills in Read More
Keys to the Kingdom
Keys open locked things. You need a key to get access. Let’s take a locked box, for instance. The box without a key is useless; if you don’t have the key, you can’t get to what’s inside. If someone told you that the box contained everything you needed, then gave you the key, would you throw the key away or forget Read More
Jesus Our Sure Foundation
With everything going on in our world, we need a sense of security more than ever and the only true security comes in our relationship with Jesus. One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 33:6, “He shall be the security and stability of your times.” Like the old hymn says, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground Read More
