Today, I want to talk with you about silver and how it gets its shine. Did you know one of the definitions of silver is actually shine? I don't particularly like silver, however, I love to buy a piece of silver that is tarnished. I know it sounds odd, but...

Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Let's look at a few of these words. First of all, the word, thoughts, is defined as the plans...

It was early one morning; I was preparing to partake of my communion meal. As I went to place my elements on my table, the Lord spoke to me and said, “He will guide you into all truth.” I knew the scripture He was speaking of. It is found in...

I love when God speaks life-changing words, during a normal conversation. Several years ago, I was having a phone conversation with a friend. She was talking to me about where she and her husband are, spiritually speaking. She shared with me how she had said to her husband, “we have...

As I stepped into the sanctuary, I encountered the tangible presence of God. Something was very different. Although the service didn’t start for another half hour, the tangible presence of the Lord greeted me as I entered the room. The place was heavy with His presence. In silence I sat...

A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. This is the dictionary definition of the word, trust. In the Strong’s Concordance, trust is defined as to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe, and to have no care. Lately, I have been compelled to...

Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin…enjoy! I felt strongly that this week we needed to pray regarding the financial struggle many are facing both personally as well as our national debt. Debt is debilitating. So is lack. Anyone who has had to...

Have you ever heard a single word from God that stopped you in your tracks and lit you up at the same time? I heard such a word several months ago. Today, God brought that word back to my remembrance. Could it be that it is for such a time...

The ten-hour drive seemed to wash away as I stepped from my vehicle and the atmosphere of the city engulfed me. The very air was electric with faith, a tangible faith that one could feel. I had never experienced anything like it before. That day was life-changing for me. I...

This morning, I was reminded of something God once said to me. At the time, those four words made no sense to me. The words were, “Let this season end.” The emphasis was on the word let. I thought it was odd that He was telling me to let it happen, The word let is...

It was late afternoon, as I drove up the highway, heading home. My attention was captured by the impending weather change. With a glance upward, I observed the rolling fog, slowly ebbing down the mountains before me. “It’s going to be a foggy morning tomorrow,” I shared with my daughter....

As I concluded my teaching at the church on worship, a friend approached me and shared what the Lord had said to her. “We are not prepared to receive the outpouring God has planned for us.” He said. Those words took me back to another time a couple decades ago...

I want to share another interesting thing about eagles. In my study, I discovered, they have two sets of eyes. The first set is their natural eyes, which they use anytime they are in resting mode. These are the eyes they use most often. However, when they start to take...

In continuing my research on eagles, I want to share another characteristic of the eagle with you today. If you have ever seen an eagle fly, you know they fly without flapping their wings. They don’t flap; they soar. Eagles are born with large and heavy wings. Part of their...

Recently, I have been teaching a series at a local church on the subject of worship. The first night I taught, God brought a couple people who I hadn’t seen in many years to the meeting. I was surprised and very happy to see them. Since there was more than...

I was studying a couple weeks ago and heard this; To manifest a promise, faith needs three things. What could faith need? It needs a seed. It needs confession and it needs action. Let’s look first at the seed. Luke 8:11 says; the seed is the Word of God. Many...
