The Bible compares the tongue to a rudder on a ship. A rudder is the small part that causes the ship to go in one direction or another. It’s amazing really that even a large ship can be turned by a small rudder. In James 3, we see this comparison. Look also at ships: although […]
Driving around the curve, my eye caught sight of something in the middle of the road. I quickly slowed down to allow the deer to make up his mind which way he wanted to go. If he went one way it was level ground, but if he chose the other way he would have to […]
The first two weeks of July have been filled with God reminding me of all He said at the beginning of this year. One thing that He spoke to me about early in 2020 was rest on every side. He led me to the scripture in 1 Kings 5:4. But now the Lord my God […]
He prepares me for battle; he strengthens me to draw a bow of bronze. Psalm 18:34 In the past few days I have thought about a story a friend once told me about the Winchester Rifle, and when it was first invented. She shared with me how, the military had the rifles and used them […]
“Don’t tell me, show me.” These words were coming to me from several different sources, even my nine-year-old granddaughter, Brailee. However, it wasn’t until I shared it with a friend that it impacted me in a powerful way. After telling her that I kept hearing the same phrase, she shared with me a recent conversation […]
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord Psalm 33:12 In this decade of PEY, the decade of the Mouth, let’s agree with God and echo His decrees. Let’s release our authority and extend our faith on the earth! Let’s use our mouths to release His will and dispel the chatter of the enemy! […]
I love Independence Day. I love what it stands for. I love this great nation that I am so blessed to live in. I thank God for America as I continue to have hope and anticipate the third great awakening! I am thankful for all that America stands for. To quote The American Legion – […]
At the beginning of the year, the Lord continually talked to me about preparing. I shared many of those thoughts with you in my writings. I hope you received the teachings in faith and not in fear. There is no need for us to fear. God has given us all we need to not only […]
Have you ever wondered if God still speaks through dreams? If you have, the answer is yes. Joel 2:28 says, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall […]
I want to share this prophetic word with you today, in lieu of a personal writing from me. SPEAK TO THE DOORS! Nate & Christy Johnston JUNE 23, 2020 A few nights ago I had a simple yet profound instructional dream from the Lord. In the dream, I was standing in what at first seemed […]
I was speaking with a friend the other day. She shared with me how her most recent doctor’s appointment had gone. She has been going to this same doctor with good results each time she went. Every time was the same thing…improvements. However, this time was different. The doctor wanted to know why some of […]
Is it even possible to have on earth as it is in heaven in the days we are living in? The Bible says it is. This week I came across a prophetic word from Kenneth Copeland from 2008. Knowing the word of God is alive and active, I believe this word is even more relevant […]
I knew it was truth when I heard it. Oh, boy! Did I need to hear it! With a heavy heart that I was turning in early for the night. Just as I was crawling into bed, a friend from Ohio called, sharing a conversation she had with the Lord. “Why aren’t you using your […]
Recently, I find myself walking through something that is not very pleasant. Although it was not pleasant, I had peace. Peace is always my guide. In the beginning, I talked to a few friends about this process. Then I noticed something. The more I talked about it, even with born again friends, the less peace […]
Have you ever watched a duck float across the pond? It is a beautiful picture isn’t it? So calm and peaceful. Therapeutically soothing. That little duck doesn’t appear to have a care in the world as he glides along. This is how our life, as believers, should look. Peaceful, but still pressing along. You see, […]
This morning I was again thinking about the prophetic word Kenneth Copeland gave for 2020. “The year of change and manifested power.” As I thought of this, I thought, “Well, we have surely seen change.” While the changes we have seen may not appear to be good changes, I believe there are good changes taking […]
Today we celebrate Memorial Day. I am thankful for the land of the free that I live in and I fully understand that it is because of the brave that I am blessed to live in this land. I am thankful for all those who have fought and sacrificed that I could be free. Father, […]
“Surround yourself with thanksgiving.” These are the first words I heard upon waking early one morning this week. Throughout the day, those words continued to come back to me… “surround yourself with thanksgiving.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Psalm 100:4 […]
Today as I was pondering on the upcoming Pentecost. This year Pentecost begins on Sunday, May 31st. The Day of Pentecost marked a turning point in the early church. I feel the same turning point excitement about this year’s Pentecost. I believe it marks a significant time for the Church. I further believe there will […]
I dreamed of harvest again. You may recall, a few weeks ago, I dreamt about harvest. An unusual harvest. Last week, once again, my night was filled with scenes of a very unique harvest. The dream began at my home. A guest who was visiting asked me to take her to my garden. We loaded […]
