Many of us have ministers and leaders that we admire. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It reminds me of the scripture that says, follow me as I follow Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1) That being said, just as many of us think we can never reach their level. That we cannot do the things […]
Every now and then we get an offering with a note that says, I know this is a small offering. Or, I know this isn’t much. I don’t like that the enemy makes our partners feel that way. Mainly because it is not true. God must have something to work with. When we give Him […]
There is a building at the bottom of a hill near my daughter, Breanne’s road. This building has been there for as long as I can remember. It has always been an eye sore. It was one of, if not the most, junky looking buildings in our town. Numerous businesses have been in this building, […]
In this fast-paced world we live in today, waiting has become increasingly difficult. People are accustomed to instant results and immediate responses, and the idea of pausing or delaying action often feels uncomfortable and inconvenient. The desire for everything to happen quickly can make it challenging to accept the concept of waiting, especially when it […]
I was listening to a preacher one weekend not too long ago. He was talking about when the iron curtain fell. He shared how the year before the fall of this wall, there were prophetic voices all over the world prophesying that the wall was about to fall. He shared how everyone was excited about […]
I was thinking about people of faith the other day. I was thinking about how it was when I was first born again, it has been over 30 years. Back in those days, faith was taught everywhere. At least every place I was involved. I heard faith, faith, and more faith. I had so much […]
“We have reached our tipping point!” Those are the words that went off in my spirit when I read a text from a friend one Sunday. Her text said, I just heard; “our prayers are going to start paying off.” My first thought was, “that is a good word.” Yet, even as that thought went […]
This morning, while checking messages, I listened to one of our partners share with me that she had been emailing me to let me know she was in the hospital. I did not receive the email. I quickly called her and prayed with her over the phone. As I hung up, I heard these words, […]
This morning, I want to share a word from my friend, Karen Hardin, I know it will bless you…it certainly did me. There are seasons in our lives where it can feel as if we are slogging through thick mud. Every step takes enormous energy, and it feels as if little progress is made. That […]
The Bible never ceases to amaze me. I can’t count how many times I have read through my Bible, yet each time I pick it up, I read something new. If you don’t read your Bible daily, you are really missing something. Listening to preaching is good. But there is nothing, absolutely nothing, like reading […]
I recently shared with you the importance of the words of our mouth and their creative ability. While I believe this is very true, I want to take some time to explore this concept more deeply. The words we speak have power, and understanding their significance is essential for living a life aligned with God’s […]
This afternoon, the Lord brought back to my mind a meaningful experience from several years ago. He spoke three simple words to me: “Seize the moments.” Even though time has passed, the memory is vivid, as if it happened just yesterday. It was early in the evening, and my daughter and my two grandkids were […]
Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. I have always loved the wisdom found in Proverbs 22:6, striving to embody its teaching in front of my grandchildren. There was a memorable day when I saw this scripture come […]
Today, I saw a little lost dog in the middle of the road. Instantly, my thoughts traveled back to a previous day when we encountered another little lost dog. That experience left a profound impression on me, as it became a moment when God taught me an important lesson. The memory of that incident continues […]
Last week, I shared some thoughts on the word shalom, exploring its significance and meaning. During my study, I encountered another passage where Jesus used the phrase, “Peace, be still.” This well-known story can be found in Mark 4:39. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind […]
One of my favorite words from the Bible is shalom. I have cherished this word for many years, primarily because of its profound meaning and significance. We encounter the word shalom in several passages throughout the Bible. Each time it appears, it carries with it a depth of meaning that goes beyond a simple greeting […]
Over the past couple of weeks, I have sensed the Holy Spirit guiding me and reminding me of how valuable and necessary consistency is in our daily lives. This message keeps coming to me: “Consistency is key!” Consistency is not just essential for our spiritual growth, but it is also a cornerstone for leading a […]
As we look around the world, there is a clear indication that revival meetings are beginning to emerge in various places. This surge is not just coincidental; it points to the realization that we are entering a new moment in God’s timing. I am convinced that we have once again stepped into a Kairos moment—a […]
I had a dream recently—one that I immediately sensed was from God as soon as I woke up. Despite this certainty, the dream didn’t make sense to me at first. I realized I hadn’t yet received the full revelation or understanding of its message. A few hours into my day, I received an email from […]
This morning after thinking about the many prayer requests I have had lately and how people are becoming weary in their faith – I was reminded of a scripture from the Old Testament. We live in a world where a lot of people are very self-centered and “it’s all about me.” Unfortunately, it is prevalent […]
