Just like the phrase ‘tipping point’ has been going through my mind lately. Another phrase has also been going through my mind. I have heard it in movies, in sermons and even in articles I have been coming across in the past week. The phrase is, “Look Up!” One elderly man taught his grandson this; […]
I read a short, inspirational teaching the other day by Brandon Gray of Grays Plumbing. I thought it was so good that I wanted to share it with you today. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. (Eccl 9:10) There’s something about seeing the equipment loaded, strapped down, and ready before […]
My daughter drives a diesel, which she normally loves, however with diesel prices rising so drastically lately, she is watching where she goes and what amount of weight she is carrying. Her vehicle gets great diesel mileage, so it hasn’t really been something she’s even thought about. However, one thing that makes a big difference […]
There is a phrase that has been coming to mind repeatedly the past few days. That phrase is ‘A Tipping Point.’ This isn’t the first time God has spoken to me about a tipping point. Yet here I am, hearing those words again. Not only hearing the phrase but several messages I have tuned into […]
Over the weekend I was thinking about declarations and the power in our words, I simply could not get Proverbs 18:21 off my mind. Most of us are very familiar with this scripture and many of us realize the importance of the words that come out of our mouth. However, as I pondered on this […]
One morning this week, I awoke and the first thought in my mind was a statement I had heard many years ago from a minister. The statement was, “Don’t leave battles for your children to fight.” A couple hours later, I came across a short article about Kingdom thinking. I believe it went right along […]
Several times in the past couple weeks, a phrase has come to mind, one I have not heard very often in the past 20 years or so. The phrase is the sprinkling of blood. When I first became born again, I heard a lot of teaching about the blood of Jesus. I still have a […]
It seems that recently the Lord has been highlighting some things to me, one being the importance of the word of God coming out of our mouth. It all began with some studies I read about the thoughts we have daily. Statistics note that 80% of our thoughts are negative. AND…95% of our thoughts are […]
Have you ever had a pity party? I don’t have them very often but just the other day I was feeling so bad physically and had been fighting to feel better for so long, I began to not feel so positive. Now, when I experience that, I know better than to talk and say negative […]
I read something the other day that said, “A seed sown in good ground, doesn’t struggle to produce a tree, it simply does what it was designed to do by God, it will produce what the seed was sown for.” Isn’t that good news!?! When we sow seeds of the word of God into our […]
Several years ago, I received an email from a partner that immediately caught my attention. The subject line contained just a single word: famine. This word lingered in my thoughts over the following days, repeatedly surfacing in my mind. No matter where I turned, it seemed that the word famine appeared before me, as if […]
This summer has been hard. There is no way around it. What I thought was going to be a few weeks off work with time to refresh and renew has been a time of one challenge after another – one loss after another. So what do you do with that? For me, I purposed in […]
A man of God once asked Smith Wigglesworth a question. “How do you wake up in the morning?” in other words, “How do you begin your day?” Why is that important? Because how you begin a thing matters. If you begin your day rushing around, anxious and in a hurry, it will often set the […]
I want to share something with you today. Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who […]
Just a few weeks ago, my daughter and I found the perfect property for our ministry. We have looked for such a place for a long, long time. It would be the first property we would purchase – we have leased our offices for years. The first time we looked at it, I felt strongly […]
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; […]
Have you ever been given a word from God that you didn’t want to hear? I have. Even though I didn’t want to hear them, I knew they were straight from God. When I think of this truth, I think about Moses. Remember when God told him to go to Pharaoh and demand he let […]
Recently, my sister and I were driving home from a trip out of town. Before heading back, we stopped for dinner and enjoyed a meal together. As we continued down the road toward home, the sun shone brightly overhead. It was a beautiful day, and the clear weather made the drive especially pleasant. As I […]
The other day I read a story that I absolutely loved! It is so insightful. I had to share it with you today. Although this story is about horses and riders – I believe it applies to every part of life. Have you ever looked at someone and said, “I wish I could do that?” […]
Not too long ago, I was having a conversation with a friend when they made a comment. They shared with me that they felt like their heart hadn’t been right in a situation and because of that, they were getting sick. As if this was their punishment for not having the right heart. The way […]
