(Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin. It is such a great encouragement – I just had to share) On Christmas Eve, our five-year-old grandson had finished dinner and wanted to play as the rest of us finished the meal. Presents had already been opened and he wanted […]
Last week, while I was walking through my kitchen one morning, I felt the Lord speak to me about a situation I had been praying about. My initial reaction wasn’t positive. I found myself murmuring to the Lord, saying, “God, I have done that, and I have done this; I have done all I know […]
A few days ago, I shared what the Lord revealed to me about removing mountains or obstacles that stand in our way, little by little. As I continued to study this topic, I came across another scripture that I want to share with you today: “Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will […]
There was a season in my life when God began to bless me beyond my imagination. It was an amazing time. A few months later, I asked God why He had blessed me so abundantly, especially when there were many people I knew who prayed more, knew more scripture, and were, quite honestly, better Christians. […]
In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says; For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. He says that we can speak to the mountain, and it will move. The […]
Lately, I’ve been inexplicably waking up between 1 and 3 a.m., and this past week was no exception. On one particular night, as the clock struck 1:00 a.m., my eyes fluttered open, wide and alert. I lay there in the stillness of the dark, the silence surrounding me almost palpable. The moonlight filtered through the […]
Several years ago, I heard the strangest story about a little dog and how it died. While speaking with an acquaintance, we came across a small grave where a dog was buried by its family. She began to tell me how the dog had died. She explained that the dog’s owner was ill and used […]
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. Isaiah 12:2 I once came across a captivating story about a determined man who set his sights on conquering a towering mountain, fueled by a desire for solitude and self-discovery. Despite warnings from seasoned climbers who advised against undertaking such a perilous ascent […]
Today, a scripture I once studied came to mind. It is found in Psalm 138:8. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. Several years ago, I stumbled upon a powerful scripture that resonated deeply with me during a challenging time when I was faced with a difficult decision. There are moments in life when […]
Today I was praying a scripture over you. This is found in Psalm 65:11, which says, You crown this year with Your goodness, and Your path drips with abundance. As we enter a new year, I pray that it is filled with the goodness of God and that your life overflows with His abundance. Take […]
I keep hearing that many people are relieved that 2024 is coming to an end. I understand why; it hasn’t been an easy year for many of us. There has been a great deal of uncertainty, both as individuals and as a nation. However, God has been faithful, and we are still here today. I […]
While spending time with God, I began to reflect on the approaching New Year, which is just around the corner. Several thoughts filled my mind: the excitement of a new year, New Year’s resolutions, and new beginnings. As I contemplated these ideas, the Lord impressed upon me to take action. He guided me to find […]
Today, the Lord reminded me of a dream He once gave me. The dream took place on Christmas Eve, and I think that’s why it comes to mind again during this Christmas season. Perhaps, it is for such a time as this. God has shown me dreams about Christmas before, particularly before significant events in […]
I heard an interesting story recently that I want to share with you. A friend of mine was talking about someone we both know who recently had a motorcycle accident. She mentioned that while he was still in the hospital, he decided to sell his motorcycle, saying, “Apparently, God was trying to tell him something.” […]
As we prepare to enter the New Year, one scripture has been constantly on my mind. This scripture is found in Luke 24:5. And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, ‘Why seek ye the living among the dead? As 2024 comes to a close, God […]
Luke 2:7 is a very familiar story, especially at this time of year. Scripture says it this way, “While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger, because there was […]
Recently, the Lord began to speak to me about offerings that are a sweet-smelling aroma to Him. He revealed that it was not about the scent itself, but rather what it represents. Leviticus 2:9 says, It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. This scripture referred to grain offerings. In Genesis 8:20-21, […]
As we transition from the warmth of Thanksgiving festivities, we find ourselves approaching the joyous season of Christmas, a time when we come together to honor the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Despite the distractions that often cloud our thoughts—such as the pressures of work, the shadow of illness, and the […]
I once came across a deeply thought-provoking statement that resonated with me and stayed with me through the years. It was a simple yet powerful phrase: “Complaining is to the devil what praise and thanksgiving is to God.” This statement struck me like a lightning bolt, making me pause and reflect on the weight of […]
I can hardly believe we are in December! It seems impossible that Christmas is almost here, but here we are. I love this time of year. I love Christmas, and I love giving—not just at Christmas, but throughout the year. While I know Christmas is not solely about giving, in many ways, it is. God […]
