There was something very different about the Apostle John. Words were said about him that were not said about any other Apostle. In scripture John was referred to as the one whom Jesus loved. The most peculiar thing is that you find the statement, the one whom Jesus loved, in the Gospel of John, and […]
I have been serving the Lord for many years now. However, I can still remember the first lesson He ever taught me and not only taught me but required of me. This one scripture became so ingrained in me that I can’t get away from it. So much so, that I ingrained it in my […]
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard people pray this prayer, “Lord, use me, put me in ministry, use me for the Kingdom.” While their motive is absolutely sincere, I believe a better prayer may be, “God make me useable for the Kingdom of God.” Yes, it is the heart of God […]
I, like many others, have prayed the prayer of faith and seen people instantly healed. I have fasted and witnessed a tremendous breakthrough. I have laid hands on the sick and seen those who couldn’t walk, walk again. I have confessed the Word of God over a situation and seen it change before my eyes. […]
Did you know your body listens to YOU more than anyone else? On a daily basis your brain is listening to every single word you say. Not only that, but your body is responding to what you say. It is also responding to the things you choose to think about or meditate on. You may […]
My favorite place to sit and read my bible is on my back porch swing. These days I must do that early in the morning to avoid the stifling heat. That’s what I was doing this morning when I noticed something unusual. I have shared with you before how I can hear the rain coming […]
Today, I want to share something with you from Pastor Beth Trussell of Cornerstone Church. It’s a strong but necessary message for all of us. In my time with the Lord this morning this is what the Lord spoke to me. While he was saying this to me, I felt like He meant for me […]
This weekend, I sat on my back porch watching a storm roll in. I was also watching how the birds just kept coming to their feeder – they paid no attention to the rolling thunder, the lightening or the high winds. It took me back to a time when Bryson told me a story about […]
I love when we get this type of emails from our readers and partners. Many of our partners, like this one, has been with us for decades and we have watched their lives and been privileged to watch how they grow in God. You are going to love this real life testimony and I pray […]
A few years ago, God began to teach me about honor. It began with a simple lesson. I had received a personal check in the mail. It wasn’t common as most checks that come to the ministry are for the ministry. Every now and then, perhaps a couple times a year, someone will send me […]
Thursday morning, I was sitting in my office working on my daily writings. I was alone, nothing major was happening, I was simply writing. I glanced over at my prayer wall when the Lord spoke to me. He said, “I am sending rain.” When He spoke those words I could almost see and feel the […]
Yesterday, the Lord reminded me of the life-changing power of His presence, seen through the face of a friend. It happened several years ago. I received a call that a friend who lived out of town and wanted to make an appointment to come by the office. It was an unusual request therefore I inquired […]
I want to share a funny, but powerful story with you today. It’s about a little girl and her chickens. As most of you know, my granddaughter, Brailee is a farm girl through and through. Her dream is to have her own horse that will do everything she wants it to do in horse shows. […]
Recently, I attended a meeting out of town to hear a woman minister on something God had revealed to her. It was an awesome message and quite thought-provoking. She shared how many of us expect worse case scenarios. In other words, when something is late coming home, we often think something bad must have happened […]
Today, as I was praying about someone’s finances, God reminded me of something Brailee, my granddaughter, said to me when she was only seven years old. God often speaks to me through my grandkids, this was especially true when they were very little. Each grandchild is different, but God has spoken to me through each […]
It has been many, many years ago since I heard the Lord speak to me about unshakable faith. Still, I remember it as if it were yesterday. I was in my prayer room at our office. I had been praying and worshipping God when His words stopped me in my tracks. He asked, “Can I […]
The phrase ‘heavens rain’ has been on my mind for a few weeks now. I first heard the words when a man I had hired to repair something at my house made the statement. He was looking at my garden. He said, “Wow, your garden is doing great!” I responded, “Yes, I believe it was […]
Scandals and exposures are happening all over the place, even in the church. There is most definitely a shaking going on. It has many feeling there is no hope, as if things are spiraling out of control. However, it is the perfect time to remember, we dwell in an unshakable kingdom. See that you do […]
Today, I was reminded of a writing I sent out in 2015. I hope it blesses you, it blessed me today. I was once heard a story about a test that was being done with hearts, human hearts. Doctors and scientists were testing hearts outside the body, I think you will find this interesting, I […]
It has been many years ago now that my Aunt taught me to can and freeze foods for winter. The first year was expensive for me. I had to buy jars, lids, canners, pressure cookers and all the supplies. Additionally, I purchased beans, potatoes, and cucumbers. Everything I wanted to can or freeze and put […]
