Several years ago, Breanne was looking through Bryson’s backpack and found a note from his teacher. It was a note from Mrs. Nikki to Bryson. Breanne read the note and then sent me a picture of it saying, “I am so proud.” Without giving me details, she said Bryson had not even mentioned what had […]
Recently, as I sat watching the flames dancing across the logs in my fireplace, my mind drifted back to the past several years. For some reason I began to think about the things that God has brought me through. There have been many circumstances. While I am so very thankful that God brought me through […]
For the past week or so, something has been stirring around in my spirit. Three words…Point of Contact. While thinking on those words, I searched out a card I once received from a partner. I remembered what she had written in that card was impactful for me at the time. Within her card was a […]
I heard Perry Stone tell a story one day of how, many years ago, he had a dream about a certain man. Not once, but twice in one night. The next morning, he told his wife and she asked, “Did you pray for him?” He replied, “no” and later that day they found out that […]
A phrase came to mind this morning; one I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. The phrase is, “Write your own story.” In my mind, I pictured a book, I was looking at the biography on the book and what it said about the author. I felt the Lord asked me, “What do you […]
The Lord spoke something to my heart recently that has had me pondering this pivotal truth for days. He said, “if you pressed in for everything else like you did for that one thing, you would see the same answers you saw in that situation.” Allow me to explain. A few years ago, I heard […]
I have had a scripture on my mind for a couple days; it is found in Luke 18. Let me share the passage of scripture with you. Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not faint, saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not […]
I was once walking through my kitchen when the Lord spoke a sentence to me. He said, “There are times when the wind shifts to your favor.” He immediately took my thoughts back to a scene in movie that I have mentioned many times. It is called Facing the Giants. In this scene a small […]
Let me describe a scenario that most of us have experienced. We hear the Word of God concerning our situation and we began to declare that Word over our life. We stand firm on that Word knowing that it will come to pass. Full of faith, we stand. Suddenly it seems as if attacks are […]
We were driving out of town, in the right-hand lane when we saw blue lights ahead. Breanne quickly put her blinker on and moved to the left lane. The vehicles behind us remained in the right lane as they sped by the officer’s car, Breanne just shook her head. Frustrated she commented, “it is a law […]
There has been something on my mind for a week or so. It is a scripture; a parable found in Matthew chapter seven. As I thought about this parable, I couldn’t help but think about a story I heard several years ago. I was watching the news one night. It was during hurricane season, and […]
Last week we talked about Abiding Victory. You may be asking, how do I attain such continual victory – I believe prayer, fervent, consistent prayer is one key to abiding victory. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul encourages believers to “pray without ceasing.” This means maintaining a constant attitude of prayer throughout daily life, That doesn’t […]
My grandchildren are now 19 and 15 years old. However, all their lives, I have had a room at my home that was ‘their’ room. When they were smaller, Bryson had a room because Brailee was a baby and didn’t stay over with Nana. Then it became Bryson & Brailee’s room. Whichever one came to […]
I was sitting in my chair, reading Mark 12. As I read a familiar passage, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Sometimes, the sacrifice speaks louder than the size of the gift.” Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich […]
And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10) These are the words Pastor Dave Roberson prophesied over me many years ago. These words came back to my mind when […]
One morning last week I was awakened by a text message. It was a scripture from a friend. I want to share it with you today. So, let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessings if we don’t give up. (Gal 6:9 […]
I have been thinking about a scripture for several weeks now. It is found in the Book of John. The version I love is the Amplified Bible. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with […]
Today, I thought about a scripture and how God once gave me insight concerning this verse. It is found in 2 Corinthians 9:10. Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness. My mind went back […]
This morning, I came across a familiar scripture. It is found in Daniel 10:12. Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. The […]
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 […]
