Recently, I have been teaching a series at a local church on the subject of worship. The first night I taught, God brought a couple people who I hadn’t seen in many years to the meeting. I was surprised and very happy to see them. Since there was more than one person, and neither from […]
I was studying a couple weeks ago and heard this; To manifest a promise, faith needs three things. What could faith need? It needs a seed. It needs confession and it needs action. Let’s look first at the seed. Luke 8:11 says; the seed is the Word of God. Many people expect Gods word to […]
One night as I was trying to go to sleep, one scripture kept going through my mind over and over. This scripture is found in Isaiah 55:10-12 – the part of it that kept running through my mind was, My word will not return void. I simply could not get that scripture off my mind. […]
I once read a story that was so good it has stuck with me for several years. Today, it again came to mind. As the story was told, a pilot was in the midst of his flight for the day when he saw something that terrified him. Out of the corner of his eye, he […]

Recently, the Lord has been reminding me of a foundational scripture. Before I share that scripture, I want to share the scripture He is using to take me there. Every so often, God will speak a scripture to me from the Old Testament, found in Jeremiah 6:16. Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, […]
I read an article one day that I found quite interesting. The title was, What causes us to choke when we are under pressure? Even the title caught my attention because at that precise moment I was dealing with some things. I had even thought about giving up. The article talked about a basketball player […]
I recently read an article about a Peace Offering. I am very interested in the Old Testament and in the symbolism of that testament. Since I read the article, each day at some point, a peace offering would come to mind, therefore I decided to re-read the article and study the subject a bit. I […]
One morning a few years ago, I arrived at work with a black eye. As I looked at it in the mirror that morning, trying, but failing, to cover it up – I had to smile. You see, I didn’t fall, no one hit me, at least not on purpose. The person who hurt me […]
This morning, as I awoke, the first thing I heard was a scripture; it is found in Isaiah 60, which says, “Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” As I meditated on this scripture, excitement began to build. I jumped out of bed and […]
We all want to prosper, yet most of us would say there are areas in our life where we are not seeing prosperity. As a ministry, many of our prayer requests we receive are for prosperity, either in finances or the physical body. Last week, I was spending some time praying for our partners. I […]
It is said, anything we do online, on social media leaves a footprint. I wonder if we realize each and every day, we do this. We leave a footprint. This thought ran through my mind as I saw a post on Facebook last week. I don’t get on Facebook often these days, not unless someone […]
Over the years I have shared stories with you about my grandchildren, Bryson and Brailee. Often God speaks to me through these two. I am so thankful when God does this. Many times, like the instance I am sharing with you today, it catches me off guard. Bryson is a gentle, kind boy. He thinks […]
I knew what I needed; I had felt it all day long. Still, the day was busy, there were people all around. When I was finally alone, the phone kept ringing. It seemed to be one thing after another that had to be dealt with. I was becoming desperate – desperate for the one thing […]
Something the Lord once spoke to me came to mind today. “A voice of maturity” – I remember the day the Lord taught me about this. We have all been there, at least I know I have. We are believing God for something and become frustrated in the wait. We have stood and stood, and […]
I was walking down the hallway, getting ready for work, thinking about a message I once heard. It was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. The minister shared that this year we stepped into a new place in God. He went on to share how God had shown him that it […]
Taking a deep breath, I absorbed the words the Holy Spirit was speaking to my heart. Peace washed over as I heard this familiar phrase. “Eyes on me.” I remember the first time I heard these words. I was watching a movie about a teacher whose students weren’t listening. Snaping her fingers, she emphatically said, […]
This morning, I was thinking about my Aunt Sherry who just went to be with the Lord. I began to think about all the life lessons I learned from her over the years. We were close, we spent a lot of time together and each time, she taught me something valuable, that would last a […]
One night while Bre, my daughter, was at my home, she received a call from Bryson, her son. After the call, she quickly left. I didn’t know what the issue was, only that it involved a bird. The following day, I asked Bryson what happened. Here’s his story. The night before, we had a bad […]
A couple months ago, my daughter and I were having a conversation when she made a statement that stuck with me. She shared with me that her husband has said, “I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then you would realize you are beautiful, just the way you are.” Those words stayed with […]
