As I sat watching the flames dancing across the logs, 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. While I am so very thankful that God brought me through those things, I would have […]
Most times, when we hear these words, with whatever measure you mete, it will be measured to you again, we think of giving or money. While that is a truth, it is not the only thing God talks about in this context of measuring. Luke 6:38 says; Give, and it shall be given unto you; […]
No matter where we look today we hear people saying that it is the time to seek God through prayer. Many people across the nation are hearing the same call. As I was thinking about this today, my mind went to the word of God concerning prayer. I heard a scripture arise in my spirit; […]
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will […]
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 […]
While studying about meditating on the word of God, I came across some interesting facts about singing. As I studied the benefits of singing I was reminded of a few things. I remembered how we learned many things in school with song. We used song to learn the alphabet. We used song to learn our […]
Saturday morning began like every other Saturday. However, as my feet hit the floor, I realized I was weary from the challenges of the previous week. It wasn’t anything personal. It was with the negative things going on in our nation. I had long stopped reading facebook posts. I no longer watched the news. It […]
Today, God brought Bryson to mind. Not just Bryson, but an attitude he possesses, even as a young child. One I personally, find admirable. This past week, Breanne was talking to Bryson about songs and what types of songs he was listening to. Bryson is an open book. He doesn’t mind if his mom asks […]
I talked with you recently about preparing for the days ahead. I hope you received the teaching in faith and not in fear. I believe God has given us all we need to not only survive, but to thrive in the days ahead. He is a faithful God and He will keep us safe in […]
While spending time with God, I began to think about the New Year, 5779. Many of you know we just entered into a new year on the Jewish Calendar. Several things were running through my mind. The excitement of a new year. New Year’s resolutions. New Beginnings. All these things were running through my mind, […]
I was having a conversation with my little granddaughter a few days ago. I was asking her how many boys were in her class at school. She began to name the boys in her class. With each name, I could see the faces of the little boys. I remarked to Breanne how funny it is […]
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, waiting for the moving of the water. For […]
Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. Amos 9:13 ESV This scripture came to mind as I walked outside to clean out my […]
While watching a well-known minister over the weekend, I was enlightened. He was speaking on the point or moment 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 a table. Water began to drip into […]
When I begin to hear the same thing over and over again, I take notice. Recently it seems I am hearing two things from prophetic voices. I am hearing these same two things several times a day. This has caused me to take notice as I believe God is speaking to us. One thing I […]
I have said it before, but it bears repeating. I do not see a plethora of joy in the body of Christ. I thought of this today as I was pondering on the connection between hope and joy. The 1828 Webster’s Dictionary describes joy as the passion or emotion excited by the expectation of good. […]
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 […]
This morning God reminded me of a dream I once had. I believe it was 2016. I dreamt of a house, a huge house. Throughout the house I found hidden treasures. Today…I believe God is saying…it’s TIME…time to search out, dig, and find the treasures He has hidden for us! There are there. We must […]
We’ve been talking about building and sowing into our future the past couple days. I want to share with you something that has been on my heart. Something that ties into building and sowing into our future. That is, a strong foundation. Before building a house, there is one thing that must be completed. A […]
“The devil needs fear to operate in your life in the same way I need faith to operate in your life.” These are the words the Lord spoke to me early one morning. Truthfully, I didn’t think a lot of it. I thought “wow, that’s good!” But then I just went on about my day. […]
