I want to share a funny story with you. A week or so ago I decided I wanted my hair cut short. Now, my regular hairdresser whom I have gone to for over 20 years will not cut it as short as I say I want it because she says she knows me and I […]
Today I was thinking about the people of Israel who wandered around the desert for 40 years…40 years for what should have been a 11 day journey. What was it that kept them wandering around in the desert? Was it the enemies? Was it the desert? Was it God? What was stopping them from entering […]

Bryson did something this past week that absolutely blessed my soul. This boy has had a life of being prayed over since birth. Still, he is an eight year old boy, he doesn’t always see the value in that and there are times when I want to lay hands on him and pray that he […]
I have a friend who has been in extreme suffering for a few weeks. I realize suffering is something most Christians don’t want to talk about. Before I begin this writing, allow me to make one thing clear; I do not believe sickness is ever from God. I do not believe lack is from God. […]
In Matthew 18:35 we read about a man who was forgiven of his debt, but when it came time for him to forgive a debt, he refused. When the master found this out, he threw him in prison saying ‘just as I showed you compassion and forgiveness, you should have shown the same to the […]
This past Friday we had a get together at a local business in our town. It was a family gathering and we had a blast. But more than that… Let me go back a few weeks. There is a local business in our town, it is called Paint the Town. We have taken the kids […]
The other night I was blessed to see a young man I had known since his youth. I had not seen him in many years. Let me tell you his story, or at least the part I know. This boy, as well as about 5-6 others used to come to our house day after day […]
I realize I posted this yesterday, however, the post was concerning TODAY – and so good and timely – here it is again Good Morning! And what a morning it is…I had something happen this morning that has never happened to me… I was talking on the phone and my cell phone dinged letting me […]
Yesterday I wrote to you about worship, and coming into the presence of God. I cannot stress to you how vital I think this is….RIGHT NOW. I do believe timing is very important and this is the time to come into God’s presence and remain there. The Shekinah glory is a glory that abides….we must […]
On Tuesday I studied worship all day long, I simply could not get away from it. I first read a chapter in a book by Steve Porter, that he had sent me about God calling us to himself in the night season. Then God had me study ‘singing to him a new song.’ Then he […]
This past week I received several testimonies from our partners and readers. I love testimonies. I love to hear what God is doing in the lives of others – testimonies are a vital part of the life of a believer. It is a principle of a victorious Christian. In the Bible it is called ‘the […]
I read an article over the weekend by Jennifer Eivaz. This article was on the Elijah List. It was so good that I wanted to share it with you. Those of you who have been building the Father’s House, know that He is truly building yours and taking care of yours. It’s his promise! The […]
I was having a conversation with my Mom and she shared with me how a friend of hers said he only prays about the big things. I thought that was so odd, but then I realized many people feel that way, they don’t ‘bother’ God for the small things…not me! I remember years ago I […]
Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, clear away the obstacles. Is. 40:3 Amplified There is a word that has been jumping in my spirit all week, prepare. It reminds me of when TD Jakes used to say ‘get ready, get ready, get ready!’ That is how I feel in my spirit today. […]
I read something today on facebook that really caught my eye. It was a statement that I want to share with you today, it said; the same boiling water that softens the potatoes, hardens the eggs. It’s not about the circumstances, but what you are made of. Wow. I loved this statement. It is so […]
I was talking with a friend today. We began to talk about finances and giving and he shared a story with me. He shared how he had started tithing a specific amount several years ago. He shared how after he began tithing that amount that things in his business started going really well. He said […]
Today I want to talk to you about something that I see in many lives, something that often steals peace from believers and frankly, there is no reason for it at all. Let me share a story with you. The other day Breanne and I were taking the kids for an outing, it was the […]
1 Samuel 3:1 says; and the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. I shared this scripture with you today to enlighten you to what I want to talk about today. If you look throughout the Bible you […]
