Did you know there are many wonderful benefits in the word of God? I think sometimes we forget the power that lies within the word of God. Personally, I have read the word of God for many years but I still discover new things in the word almost every week. I was thinking of this […]
This morning I was thinking about a movie I once watched. In the movie the character made one statement that stopped me in my tracks. I was reminded of how the Lord had me begin to pray in alignment with the statement, not only over myself but our partners as well. The movie was about […]
You are the seed! Have you ever thought about that truth? Could YOU be the seed? Last week I was riding out of town with a friend of mine. We were talking about the things we have walked through in the past few years. These have not been easy years, to say the least. As […]
Today I was looking through some of last year’s motivations. I do that sometimes to encourage myself. I was astounded when I came across the following motivation. It seems I am in the same place this year…. And I was so encouraged as I read this motivation that I had to share it with you […]
This morning I was praying about a healing I am contending for, as I prayed, I was reminded of a scripture found in Matthew 8, one in which Jesus, said ‘I have not seen such great faith!’ This scripture jumped in my spirit as I was praying, it captured my attention and sent me on […]
I woke up this morning with a writing I had sent out last year on my mind. I have been thinking a lot about crossing over to the other side this week, in doing so, this story came to mind and I felt the need to share this with you again. I hope you enjoy […]
As I re-read today’s motivation, I could not help but think about something the Lord once said to me. It was many years ago, at a time when I was praying and asking God for very specific things. Several times, it appeared the prayers were being answered yet it wasn’t exactly what I was praying […]
Whatever you have need of is on the other side of the trial. Trust Him. He will not fail you. Keep rowing. Keep trusting. Keep believing. The breakthrough is closer than you think – much closer than it was a month ago, you are closer to the other side than you can imagine. Don’t stop […]
As I walked down my hallway, I heard God speak ONE word to me; fullness. I stopped and thought a moment and then I prayed; God I thank you that I am full of your presence, full of your anointing, full of your peace and full of all that you are. As I declared those […]
In the Message Bible, Isaiah 48:18 says; If you had listened all along to what I told you, your life would have flowed full like a river, blessings rolling in like waves from the sea. Isn’t that wonderful? If we just listen to God and wait upon Him and trust Him no matter what – […]
I was thinking about all the prophecies I have heard lately, especially the negative ones. I remembered a story I read a couple years ago, I want to share it with you today: Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work […]
When God considers your life, your heart, does He see faith? When He observes our actions, does He see faith? I was thinking about this over the weekend as I meditated on a scripture found in Matthew. Matthew 9:2 says; And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a […]
Eccl. 4:9-10 says; Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. This is the scripture that was on my mind this past weekend as I drove to my Mom’s to cut and remove trees and limbs that had fallen […]
It’s one thing to write a motivation when things are sunshine and roses, it’s quite another to live it just a few hours later. As I sit here in the dark at 3 am, I am thinking about the writing I just sent out…”Increase & Thankfulness…cultivating a heart of thanksgiving.” It was easy and even […]
In happy moments, PRAISE GOD. In difficult moments, SEEK GOD. In quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. In painful moments, TRUST GOD. Every moment, THANK GOD. This is one of my favorite quotes. I seem to see it everywhere lately. Recently I was listening to a teaching on the subject of humility by Keith Moore. During the […]
As I listened to him share what God had given him for 2017, Perry Stone made a simple, yet profound statement, he said ‘blessings come through confession.’ I have always known the power of our words and the importance of confession yet I had never heard it put quite this way; blessings come through confession. […]
Have you ever felt like the seeds you were sowing in faith simply weren’t working? Many of us have felt that way at one time or another. Just the other day I received such an email from one of our partners after he read last Friday’s teaching. His email said; ‘Great word! I’ve struggled in […]
Breakthrough…an instance of sudden, dramatic success in a sphere or activity. That is the definition of breakthrough from Webster’s 1828 dictionary. However, there are a couple definitions that I feel pertain more to a breakthrough in the spiritual realm. In the military, breakthrough means to advance all the way through and BEYOND the enemy’s front […]
“He has made me glad! He has made me glad! I will rejoice for He has made me glad!” A couple weeks ago we had tornados come through our area one night. This is normally something that causes Breanne to be anxious, especially if she is home alone with the kids. The day after the […]
“Lord, I lift up my hands, I surrender all to you”….or do I? This morning as I was running errands, I heard a song on the radio that said ‘I lift my hands, I lay down my life.’ Those words struck my heart today. I began to think about those words and what they really […]
