Some days I need times of refreshing in the love of God. When I do, my go to is worship. Yesterday was one of those days. As I sat quietly, listening to worship music, a familiar song began to play, one I had heard hundreds of times. However, this time, it captured my attention. The […]
While reading a book recently recommended by a friend, this author quoted another author…the quote she shared was so profound that I knew I needed to share it with you today. The quote was from a book by Dr. Caroline Leaf, Who Switched Off My Brain? It says, “Negative words can be more harmful to […]
I sat silently listening to this young girl pour her heart out. It was obvious, she was speaking out of years of hurt. For that reason alone I said nothing. Later, I would ponder her words and ask God for direction in how to speak with her. This young girl had been a drug addict […]
Lately, I have been led to pray a particular scripture for our partners. It is found in Genesis 26:12-14. “Then Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions […]
Recently I watched as someone reacted to a frustrating situation. As long as we live, we will all have things that bring us distress. However, it is not those things that will hinder our joy or blessings in life, it is our reaction to them. This person’s anger to the situation puzzled me as I […]
…so that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Matthew 18:16 God always confirms His Word. At least that has been my experience. He will often tell me the same thing over and again through several different people, until He gets my attention. When He does that, it is […]
I believe God is speaking to us today, even this month saying, “This will be a month of recovery.” I pondered on this word for a few days – and I did some research. Although we often think of recovery and restoration as the same thing, this is not always accurate. For instance, in 1 […]
Recently, I was studying the book of Acts. It always amazes me that the outpouring of God was still going strong two years later, as we find in Acts 2. I began to think about how the people of God kept their passion for God and His works burning strong for that long. These days, […]
I heard a statement today that stopped me in my tracks. It was so profound and insightful. The comment was, “Complaining is to the devil what praise and thanksgiving is to God.” Stop and think about that for a moment, let it sink way down deep inside. Complaining is to the devil what praise and […]
Hearing the ding of my phone, I picked it up to see who was texting me at this late hour. Consequently, it was my sister and she was sharing a property with me that had just come on the market. While pulling up the information, I was shocked. This beautiful church built in 1887 had […]
This past weekend, I received numerous calls and texts from people needing prayer. They were all facing the same challenge, the attacks were coming against their body. It seemed the enemy was on the warpath in his agenda to kill, steal and destroy. I believe we are in a time of promise, preparing to walk […]
For the past couple weeks, I have been hearing the following phrase. “The camels are coming.” Now, I know many of us have heard this statement, however, I believe God is speaking it for THIS time and confirming it. Allow me to explain. Like I said, I am hearing, “the camels are coming” so much […]
Recently God reminded me of something I want to share with you today. God interrupted my sleep, speaking four words to my heart, “My people are weary.” A couple hours later I received confirmation of that word in an email from a friend. It said, “People are weary, we have to help them.” It’s true. […]
Saturday, all day, a song was on my heart. Not a Christian song and not the entire song, just one line. “You know I’ve always been a dreamer.” Over and over this song played through my mind. I think it is by the Eagles and I don’t even recall the rest of the song. Early […]
When I first heard of the Asbury revival, I was excited, I still am. I knew revival had begun and would soon spread across our land. We are now hearing reports of revival in several different places, God is surely moving across our land. As I read about these current revivals, I can’t help but […]
Last week, God talked to me quite often about speaking to our mountains. Coincidently, I found myself studying in the book of Numbers. I read Numbers 20:8, when God began to speak to me. The scripture says… “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their […]
Today I was thinking about spring of last year, when I was outside planting seeds with my granddaughter, Brailee. That year I felt led of the Lord to again plant a garden, not from plants that have already been started for me, but from seed. I have planted several things from seed in the past. […]
If we look around the world at the revival meetings that are beginning to crop up, we sense we are in a new moment in God. One declaring winter had passed and spring has come – a time of rejoicing was upon us. I believe we have once again, stepped into a Kairos moment. What […]
While I know the enemy often attempts to distract God’s people – lately it seems like distractions are at an all-time high. A distraction is defined as a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else, a diversion, and something that causes extreme agitation of the mind or emotions. Did you know […]
Many of us enter into prayer, in faith, totally believing God for our request. However, at the first sound of bad news, our faith falters – how does this happen and what do we do about it? Faith is a funny thing. It is so very simple – it means we trust God. Yet it […]
