I once heard someone say that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Often we say we want things to change in our lives yet we continue to do the same things we have always done, over and over. Of course, we continue to get the same results. The […]
In the month of June, I taught on Worship for four weeks at our church. Those times birthed something in me that seems to grow deeper day by day. It is a desire to once again spend my days with God. While it sounds wonderful and it is, it makes it very difficult to work […]
Not too long ago I read something online that I felt was not only powerful, but timely. It seems lately, the Lord is cautioning me about who I allow to lay hands on me and those I invite into my inner circle. There are people who will simply drain the life out of you. Perhaps […]
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (2 Cor 9:6-8) I was meditating on this familiar verse when a thought came to me… “I wonder if I am a generous giver?” More importantly… I wonder if GOD would consider me a generous giver?” I began […]
The word process is defined as; a series of actions that you take in order to achieve an end result. I don’t know about you, but I like the suddenly of God more than the process. Yet, over the past few weeks, God has led me to scripture after scripture confirming the truth that most […]
Today, I want to talk with you about silver and how it gets its shine. Did you know one of the definitions of silver is actually shine? I don’t particularly like silver, however, I love to buy a piece of silver that is tarnished. I know it sounds odd, but I love to polish it […]
Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Let’s look at a few of these words. First of all, the word, thoughts, is defined as the plans and purpose. God knew, even […]
It was early one morning; I was preparing to partake of my communion meal. As I went to place my elements on my table, the Lord spoke to me and said, “He will guide you into all truth.” I knew the scripture He was speaking of. It is found in John 16:13. However, when He, […]
I love when God speaks life-changing words, during a normal conversation. Several years ago, I was having a phone conversation with a friend. She was talking to me about where she and her husband are, spiritually speaking. She shared with me how she had said to her husband, “we have done some things wrong along […]
As I stepped into the sanctuary, I encountered the tangible presence of God. Something was very different. Although the service didn’t start for another half hour, the tangible presence of the Lord greeted me as I entered the room. The place was heavy with His presence. In silence I sat down, wondering what made thisplace […]
A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. This is the dictionary definition of the word, trust. In the Strong’s Concordance, trust is defined as to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe, and to have no care. Lately, I have been compelled to take a good, hard look […]
Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin…enjoy! I felt strongly that this week we needed to pray regarding the financial struggle many are facing both personally as well as our national debt. Debt is debilitating. So is lack. Anyone who has had to look at bills and decide […]
I, like many others, have prayed the prayer of faith and seen people instantly healed. I have fasted and witnessed a tremendous breakthrough. I have laid hands on the sick and seen those who couldn’t walk, walk again. I have confessed the Word of God over a situation and seen it change before my eyes. […]
Have you ever heard a single word from God that stopped you in your tracks and lit you up at the same time? I heard such a word several months ago. Today, God brought that word back to my remembrance. Could it be that it is for such a time as this? We’ve heard, “One […]
The ten-hour drive seemed to wash away as I stepped from my vehicle and the atmosphere of the city engulfed me. The very air was electric with faith, a tangible faith that one could feel. I had never experienced anything like it before. That day was life-changing for me. I learned that you could change […]
This morning, I was reminded of something God once said to me. At the time, those four words made no sense to me. The words were, “Let this season end.” The emphasis was on the word let. I thought it was odd that He was telling me to let it happen, The word let is defined as; to not prevent, to […]
It was late afternoon, as I drove up the highway, heading home. My attention was captured by the impending weather change. With a glance upward, I observed the rolling fog, slowly ebbing down the mountains before me. “It’s going to be a foggy morning tomorrow,” I shared with my daughter. As those words came across […]
As I concluded my teaching at the church on worship, a friend approached me and shared what the Lord had said to her. “We are not prepared to receive the outpouring God has planned for us.” He said. Those words took me back to another time a couple decades ago when the Lord said I […]
I want to share another interesting thing about eagles. In my study, I discovered, they have two sets of eyes. The first set is their natural eyes, which they use anytime they are in resting mode. These are the eyes they use most often. However, when they start to take flight on strong winds, they […]
In continuing my research on eagles, I want to share another characteristic of the eagle with you today. If you have ever seen an eagle fly, you know they fly without flapping their wings. They don’t flap; they soar. Eagles are born with large and heavy wings. Part of their survival skill is that they […]
