As I walked through the office I heard the Lord say, ‘there is an anointing on the thanks.’ I thought ‘okay, what does that mean?’ He simply said, ‘mail that new Bible to Kelita, you can wait on yours.’ You see, I had just received the new Kenneth Copeland study Bible in the mail. I […]
Expect the unexpected – this is what God is calling us to do in this season. I was writing our partner letter on Monday, just before I sent it out, I received an audio clip from Kelita. Normally, I would wait until I completed my task to listen, however, I felt compelled to hear the […]
When will the pruning end? That is a question I used to ask myself, that is, until I came across John 15. John 15:1-2 in the Amplified says; I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that […]
‘God’s nature is abundance, miracles only occur when there is lack.’ These are words I once heard Kenneth Copeland say. I was reminded of this very thing recently as I read an article by Jerry Savelle. I was also reminded of a scripture Ronnie Burch gave me one day. She said to me ‘the Lord […]
This week we have talked about cultivating the presence of God in your home. I believe the Lord wants to have His manifest presence in the home of every born-again believer. I believe He wants His presence to dwell with us, daily. I am sure that is what you want as well. Prayer is good. […]
Yesterday, we discussed the things that you can do to bring God’s peace and presence into your home. I believe if you do these things consistently, your home will become a place where God abides, not just visits. I also believe if you pray enough in your home and worship enough in your home that […]
It’s already there. Did you know that? Whatever you have need of is already there. God reminded me of this just yesterday. My daughter called me to talk about something she wanted to do financially. My response to her was, pray about it, sow a seed toward it and then wait for God’s timing. As […]
It’s time to seek the Lord! Many have been hearing that call across the nation for some time now. No matter where we look today we hear people saying that it is the time to seek God through prayer. As I was thinking this morning about the many people who are feeling like it is […]
Do you find yourself in a wilderness of sorts today? If so, I have great news for you! As I drove to work today, I was praying about some things in my life. In my conversation to God I began to say… ‘Look God, how You provided for the children of Israel in the wilderness, […]
Pressure – The act of squeezing or crushing. The state of being squeezed or crushed. The force of one body acting on another by weight or the continued application of power. A constraining force or impulse; that which urges or compels the intellectual or moral faculties; as the pressure of motives on the mind, or […]
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. As I drove to work this morning, I glanced over to my left and saw the most beautiful moon. As I admired the moon, I began to thank God for all His creations. I drove a little further and saw the huge American flag at […]
This morning I was reading a card from one of our beloved partners, she was sharing some upcoming medical tests that were ahead of her. As I read her card a song sprang up in my spirit for her. The song is by Fred Hammond and it says; No weapon formed against me shall prosper, […]
‘Stop! That’s not the way it works!’ These are the words I heard coming from the backseat as I began to pray. I was driving Bryson and Brailee home after a wonderful day and night with them. As I usually do, I began to pray on the ride to their house. I began with ‘thank […]
People who are filled with fear are easily dominated. I once read a book that talked about different mindsets. The three mindsets discussed were the barbarian mindset, the Greek mindset and the Hebrew mindset. I found this book quite interesting. Today, I want to talk about one of the mindsets it mentioned. The mindset I […]
Remember the mighty acts God has done for you! Doesn’t that cause faith to arise in you? This morning I received an email from a partner. In it she shared an audio clip with me from a DJ in Atlanta. He was talking about when you find yourself in the midst of a challenge. When […]
Over thirty years ago a woman gave me some sound advice. She said, ‘when breakthrough and victory is before you, do not lay down your sword.’ This advice has never left me, it has come to mind time and again over the years. As I read through the book of Nehemiah this past weekend I […]
Think about a time when the manifest presence of God was extremely strong in your life. Stop and remember a time when you were beyond passionate for God and His word. Can you perceive that time in your mind? Hold onto that thought for a moment. For some of you, this very day may be […]
Partnership; a relationship resembling a legal partnership and usually involving close cooperation between parties having specified and joint rights. I came across this definition of partnership as I was praying over our partners this week. I love and cherish our partners, many of them have become close friends over the years and I thank God […]
Shabbat is good. Such a simple statement, yet so very profound. In the book of Genesis, we read where God created something and then declared ‘it was good.’ I decided to do a little word study this morning on the word good and found it meant; good, beneficial, appropriate, prosperous and bounty producing. That is […]
I want to tell you today – your silence is as important as your shout. There is a time to keep quiet and a time to shout – you must discern when each time is appropriate. It is never good to speak words of fear, doubt or unbelief. They will stop you from entering your […]
