It’s been over 18 years ago now, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was one of those heart-stopping moments that are every parent’s nightmare. My daughter and I were shopping at a local mall. She and I were looking at clothes, just a few feet away from where my 2-year-old grandson […]
Have you ever thought about the helmet of hope? I must admit, I have not given it a lot of thought. That is until I heard a minister make a statement one night on television. The scripture reference is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:8, it says; but let us who are of the day be […]
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will […]
One morning a few years ago, my grandson and I were driving up the mountain to get freshly picked turnip greens to freeze for winter. He began to share with me something he had learned about making candy. He told me how they heated it up until it was so hot it was pliable. Then […]
I love this time of year. It is the season when every single year when God shows me things about the seeds we sow. It never gets old, at least for me. Day after day and year after year, I am amazed at the lessons He either teaches me or reminds me of. I want […]
You know, sometimes God speaks through the funniest and oddest things. For that reason, I keep my spiritual ears attuned to listen for His voice. I had one of those moments this week. My friend share with me that her 80-year-old mom had started asking her to pick something up for her to get rid […]
There was a season I had some time ago, where I had several dreams from God. At one time, there were three different insights that seemed separate yet, they all went together – I want to share those with you today. I felt it was God giving me revelation of the season we are in […]
Today, I want to share a prophetic word/ dream from Nate Johnston. It is one I shared before, I think a couple years ago – however, I feel it is timely in this season. MY WARNING FROM THE LORD ON THIS NEXT MOVE OF GOD Last week, I had a peculiar, yet powerful dream. It […]
Yes, I am going to talk about offense again, perhaps, someone needs it. I know I always need to be reminded of the danger of offense. It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around […]
Today, I began to think about Bryson and some things that happened several years ago, when he was younger – at least that is when it began. One day when Bryson was about ten, I think, I was sitting in his room, helping his Mom organize it. I was going through Bryson’s stuff and organizing […]
This morning, I began to reflect on the issue of offense regarding a recent event. I realized that, regardless of the situation, I could not allow myself to be offended. So, I prayed for the strength not to take offense. In that moment, two distinct thoughts came to mind. First, I remembered a time when […]
I read something online today that I want to share with you and expound on. One of the most painful things you will experience in ministry is realizing that not everyone assigned to your table was assigned to your heart. Jesus had Judas in His circle. David had Ahithophel. Paul had Demas. Joseph had brothers […]
I once read an article about the effects of Hurricane Matthew. While reading, I came across an interesting article. The title was something like, Treasures Found. As I continued to read, it said a man had found a huge shark tooth that washed up during this horrible storm, a treasure he had searched for all […]
I once read a quote that impacted my heart and soul, I want to share it with you today. Here is the quote. When someone is pregnant, she is not “expecting a child” – she already has one. She is not “going to be a mother” – she already is a mother. The baby is […]
I once heard a story that I found so interesting – it comes to mind several times each year. I would like to share it with you today. The story was about a missionary who was being flown over Africa on his way to a mission trip. In the area he was flying through there […]
For the past few weeks, my Pastors have been teaching on the Holy Spirit. They have taught it from several different viewpoints, and it has been quite illuminating. It has also caused my mind to be focused on Holy Spirit a lot. Wednesday night when I left church, I had an interesting encounter with Holy […]
One morning last week, I awoke with one word running through my mind, over and again. As I lie there meditating on the word, a scripture came to mind. The word that I was pondering on was, restore. The scripture is from the book of Isaiah. But this is a people robbed and plundered; All […]
It’s almost that time of year again. Time when we begin to see harvest in the gardens planted in my area. Almost, but not quite yet. The first thing I do each morning is walk outside and look at my cucumber, bell pepper and other plants. I started seeing teeny cucumbers a week ago. I get […]
I was reading the other day about the days of the book of Acts. It is amazing that the outpouring of God was still going strong two years later, as we find in Acts 2. I began to think about how they kept their passion for God and His works red hot for two years. […]
I had an experience one night about a week ago. I’m not sure if you would really call it a dream, but it was while I was sleeping. It seemed like it lasted all night long. It was an audible voice, repeatedly quoting scripture throughout the night. I woke up quoting the scripture I had […]
