Several years ago, I was on the phone, sharing with my friend Vicki, about my Mom’s upcoming wedding. My Mom, who was 77 years young at the time, was getting married. She had been a single mom for more than forty years. I was telling Vicki how happy my Mom was and how the feelings […]
It was Saturday morning; I was driving to my office to catch up on some work. Music was playing on my media player. As one song came to an end and another began to play, it captured my attention. It was a song I have listened to many times, but today, God began to show […]
I once read a word that was quite profound. One I believe relates to many seasons in our life. The word was… The enemy has been and is attacking the very area God is breathing upon in your life. So be encouraged that great increase and fruitfulness is being released in that part of your […]
Today, God reminded me of a dream I once had. I believe that dream is for THIS season. In the dream, my daughter, her family and I were traveling to a certain destination. I assumed it was an adventure of sorts because we weren’t traveling on highways, instead we traveled the back roads. Although I […]
I was reading an email from one of our partners today about what they had gone through the past several years; it was a great deal of loss and pain. As I continued to read, I began to feel like the Lord spoke a phrase to me about how this person perceived things, through the […]
Yesterday as I was visiting with a friend when the Lord began to show me some things about this season we are in. Excitedly, I said to this friend, “There are no limits here, only in our mind.” She replied, “That’s why we are to have faith like a child, they don’t consider the logistics […]
Yesterday was a busy day for me. I got up early, made some food to take to my cousin who is in the hospital. Once that was prepared, I loaded my vehicle and headed out to do my errands, plugging in my phone as I went so I could listen to worship music on the […]
So that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Matthew 18:16 From my experience, God always confirms His Word. He will often tell me the same thing over and again through several different people, until He gets my attention. When He does that, it is HIM, confirming His word. I […]
In recent years, many of us have learned to stop speaking negative words over our lives, our children, our bodies, and our finances. That is a good thing! But are we also consistently speaking blessings over these same things? It’s not enough to stop speaking negative words. If our desire is to see life all […]
I once heard someone say that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Often we say we want things to change in our lives yet we continue to do the same things we have always done, over and over. Of course, we continue to get the same results. The […]
In the month of June, I taught on Worship for four weeks at our church. Those times birthed something in me that seems to grow deeper day by day. It is a desire to once again spend my days with God. While it sounds wonderful and it is, it makes it very difficult to work […]
Not too long ago I read something online that I felt was not only powerful, but timely. It seems lately, the Lord is cautioning me about who I allow to lay hands on me and those I invite into my inner circle. There are people who will simply drain the life out of you. Perhaps […]
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (2 Cor 9:6-8) I was meditating on this familiar verse when a thought came to me… “I wonder if I am a generous giver?” More importantly… I wonder if GOD would consider me a generous giver?” I began […]
The word process is defined as; a series of actions that you take in order to achieve an end result. I don’t know about you, but I like the suddenly of God more than the process. Yet, over the past few weeks, God has led me to scripture after scripture confirming the truth that most […]
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 I love to polish it […]
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 and purpose. God knew, even […]
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 John 16:13. However, when He, […]
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 done some things wrong along […]
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 down, wondering what made thisplace […]
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 take a good, hard look […]
