Stronger Together The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12… Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two […]
One of the things God has been highlighting in my life lately are the power of words. Specifically, word curses. Proverbs 18:21 say, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Most of us are familiar with this scripture, but I wonder how many […]
I was listening to a minister the other day and he spoke about a time when he had a debt that was in the millions of dollars – and it kept growing each month. He prayed and prayed over it and it just kept getting worse. One day the Lord spoke to him and told […]
One night, while visiting Breanne and her family, we had dinner and then sat down to watch a movie. I was sitting beside my granddaughter, Brailee, who is the most outspoken person I know. In one scene a man shook another man’s hand and said, “How are you doing? I am praying for you and […]
I was reading a testimony from a man who was healed of cancer. He had only been given ten hours to live. In his interview he made a statement that I am sure is relatable to many of us. He said, “I fought fear more than I fought cancer.” When my incident occurred, fear came […]
I gently laid my hand over the blood pressure machine screen and closed my eyes. I refused to focus on those numbers, instead I focused on the word of God. With eyes closed, I began to run scriptures through my mind…. “God sent His word and healed me and made me whole, God is restoring […]
Over the years, at times, God speaks four words to me to get my attention. He will say ‘be warm, be filled.’ When He speaks this, I know exactly what He is referring to. The scripture is found in James 2:14-17 and it says; What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has […]
This morning I had an enlightening conversation with a friend about trusting God. We talked about the difference of faith in God and trusting God. As we did, I was reminded of a few areas of my own life where trusting God is a challenge, one that I obviously need to deal with. I want […]
While I was listening to the Word of God, one scripture, that I have heard a million times, jumped in my spirit. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) We […]
It was late Saturday night, my ten-year-old granddaughter was spending the weekend with me. This child is full of energy and never stops talking. She had taken her bath for the night and was preparing for bedtime. As I watched her run giggling down the hallway, this thought came to mind. “This child is full […]
This week Brailee received a gift from Kelita, a dandelion, and it took me back to something that happened a few years ago and the writing God gave me that day… Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up. Therefore, as […]
John 1:1 in my opinion, is one of the most powerful scriptures in the Bible. It says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The word and God/ Jesus are one. When we eat of the word, we are receiving all God is in our […]
Don’t rejoice over me, o my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. Micah 7:8 This scripture found in Micah has been one of my favorite scriptures. When I fall – I shall arise. As Christians, we don’t want to think that […]
Recently I heard a question that caused me to reflect on life, my life in particular. The question was, “If you could go back 20-30 years, what advice would you give your younger self.” I believe this is something we should ask ourselves today – because those answers, the ones we have gained by wisdom […]
Several times over the weekend I heard the same message preached by several different ministers. It felt like a warning message to me, perhaps to you as well. Each message was talking about relationships. Not only marriage, but friends as well. I believe it is more important than ever who we hang around – who […]
Surrounded…that’s how I felt as I opened the card from someone I had never met. 1 Thess. 5:11 says, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” Col. 3:13 says, “Bear with each other.” This wonderful woman was being, not only a hearer of the Word, but […]
I have always loved the scriptures about a sweet-smelling sacrifice. One day I was meditating on this when the Lord began to share with me, that it is not all about the smell, but what it represents. Leviticus 2:9 says, “It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.” This scripture […]
I had a strange morning this week. On my way to work I could sense God prompting me to pray about a situation I had prayed about for years. In frustration I said, “God, I don’t know anything else to pray, I have prayed everything I know to pray. Holy Spirit show me how to […]
The Goodness of God Coming to You! This year, although I haven’t heard it mentioned much – Jerry Savelle gave an awesome word for 2021 – I want to share it with you today. The year 2020 is now over and the new year has finally come, So, get ready for more and more […]
