This week I have been busy helping my daughter plan a surprise birthday party for my soon-to-be 81 year old mom. For some reason it has given me much time of reflection. As I walked through my house this morning, I was thinking about the other birthday celebrations we have had for Mom over the […]
In John 5, we find a familiar story. After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, […]
Did you know every single day you reap? And every single day you sow? Yes, it is true and I am not talking about money at all. I read something the other day from Marsha Burns. A friend sent it to me, and I couldn’t have said it better – therefore I am going to […]
Since last July, I have been walking through a challenging time. During that entire time, I pressed into God consistently and purposefully. His Word was my priority and I clung to His grace daily to come through. Frankly, when the challenge lightened, I just wanted to stop and take a deep breath. And that’s exactly […]
Friday, I shared a word God had given me about recovery. Today, I want to expound on that subject a little more. I love the story of David and how he recovered all – I believe we all love that story. It’s all about getting back what the enemy had stolen from God’s people and […]
I shared a writing with you how God spoke to me about plunder. I want to share a little more with you on that subject. First, plunder is not a passive thing. It is not something that will automatically happen. Even if God speaks to you to take action and plunder, it won’t magically happen. You must first […]
Power in the Process Lately, I have received several emails from people wanting to become debt free – I want to share some of my debt freedom story with you, as well as Kelita’s. For me, nothing happened over night. It was a process that God led me through, and I had to remain […]
“You have My word, you’ll not go under, but you will come out with plunder.” These words were spoken to me by the Lord just before waking on Saturday morning. I recognized them immediately; they were from a prophecy I received in 2007 – sixteen years ago. Here is the prophecy… Now in your heart as […]
One week I was on the phone with one of our wonderful partners. During our conversation, she shared with me some of her experiences in giving. She told me something the Lord had spoken to her many years ago. It was quite profound; therefore, I made a mental note to remember what she had said […]
While I read yet another prayer request via email, a question ran through my mind. What harvest are you expecting? Lately, I have had numerous emails just like this one, most are needing one of two things, healing, or financial miracles. The good news is both belong to us through the cross of Jesus Christ. […]
If you read the local and national news, you will notice anger is rampant across our nation. With daily shootings, road rage, stabbings, and other acts of violence, it is obvious that anger is out of control. As born again believes, we cannot allow anger to remain in our personal lives. It must be removed. […]
While watching a well-known minister over the weekend, he gave an illustration that was extremely insightful to me. He was speaking on the moment in time of overflow. During his sermon, he used a simple coffee cup to make his point. It was as impactful as it was simple. The coffee cup sat empty on […]
It was late at night. Already dark. Normally, I would be preparing for bed, but not that night. This night God had a lesson to teach me and it was one I needed to learn. I was standing at the kitchen window, looking out into the back yard. As I said, it was dark, pitch-black […]
I have often thought, our generation desperately needs to rediscover the difference between praying for and praying through. Although more people are praying than I have ever seen, still, most do not know how to pray through – or pray and refuse to stop until they see the answer manifest. I want to share a […]
I love how God reminds me of things He has shown me in the past. Today was one of those times. He reminded me of a story I once heard from a friend concerning the Titanic. It was a very profound story – one that has stayed with me for years. She shared with me […]
This week the Lord reminded me of something that happened several years back – something that spoke deeply to me. It happened one day when I received a call from a partner of our ministry – I love talking to our partners. They are like family to me. Many have become good friends. During our […]
I shared with you yesterday what God was speaking to me about the time we are in. Today, I want to share a portion of the ‘Give Him 15 by Dutch Sheets.’ This came to me the same morning God spoke to me about increasing our capacity to receive. One of the best ways to […]
The moment my eyes opened this morning, a familiar phrase came to mind. I hadn’t even had time to jump out of bed before my mind was racing with thoughts from the Lord. What He was speaking was not new, actually, it has become familiar instruction over the years. However, He only speaks this to […]
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 I once read an article concerning this scripture that has stayed in my heart and mind for years. Let me share it with you today if I may. […]
This morning in my quiet time, I heard these words, “But you would not.” My mind went back to the many times in scripture when God tried to correct or warn His people. He gave them warning after warning. His mercy, even before Jesus, is absolutely amazing! We can see this throughout the Old Testament. […]
