There is a scripture that has been on my mind a lot this week. It is found in 2 Corinthians 12. I am sure you are familiar with it. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast […]
In the last few days, at different times my heart has been stirred. Stirred to obey God is sowing seed or to obey God in doing a faith act in some way. This has caused me to think about the widow woman with the two mites in the New Testament. Looking up, [Jesus] saw the […]
I once read an article that greatly expressed the awesome power of praying in tongues. The testimony was not by a preacher or a teacher, it was by a mother. The story was shared a few years ago on Good Morning America. The story was about a mom and her young seven-year-old son. One morning […]
The morning began with a myriad of emails waiting to be answered, voicemails to return and errands to run. As I quickly prepared to run my errands, I thought, “Lord, I need a vacation.” Later that morning, I was at a doctor’s appointment. As I got ready to leave, he said, “Can ask you a […]
The Lord your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17 I have read this scripture before, several times, but it has never quite captured me like it did on one […]
I sat at my desk, reading an email I had just received from a friend who was traveling for ministry work. It was a prayer request. It appeared she was having many attacks while traveling, thus she was requesting a prayer of agreement for these things to cease. As I read down the list of […]
At the beginning of the year, one of our partners sent me a teaching from a devotional that captured my attention. This devotion talked about the verse in Psalm 90:12. So, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. I have studied this scripture several times, it intrigued me […]
Alone we can do little; together we can do so much. I see this truth on a daily basis. Years ago, as I was enjoying a monthly magazine sent to me a ministry, God spoke to me. He said, “are you enjoying that magazine?” I replied, “Yes, Lord, this is a great magazine.” He continued […]
Today, a friend and I were talking about someone who had been going through a really rough time. My friend remarked how they have sought breakthrough for years but not experienced it. My friend made a statement that captured my attention. “Could it be they won’t receive breakthrough because of the roots that are holding […]
Today at sundown, Passover begins. The Bible tells us there are blessings attached with observing holy days unto the Lord. Today I am going to share about Passover and invite you to observe it, especially this year. Why this year? This season has been difficult for many. We must keep our eyes on God and […]
I was reading a book by Chuck Pierce over the weekend on the feasts of the Lord. I came across a series of sentences that caught my attention. They said… The battle against Passover is nothing new. Satan always tries to steal away Passover because he knows the celebration of the blood releases power! As […]
Passover has been on my mind more this year than any other year before. It seems to have a significance for me that it hasn’t had in years past. This year, Passover begins on April 22, 2024. First, for those who may not know, allow me to explain Passover as defined through an online dictionary. […]
And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there shall be no rain. Zechariah 14:17 Is the rain of the abundance of God in your life today? If not, perhaps you have neglected to worship […]
The other night I was thinking about a particular season I had gone through. As I thought about it and pondered it in my mind, the Lord spoke to me and quietly said, “You didn’t embrace that season.” It was a gentle rebuke but a rebuke, nevertheless. It was many years ago; I was helping […]
Today I was reminded of something that happened several years ago when Bryson went to a Christian school in Cleveland. He and his family were preparing to move to Dayton, therefore Bre decided to have Bryson switch to home school for the rest of the year. This would help them make the move without having […]
While perusing through the latest news articles, a single thought ran through my mind. The whole earth is groaning and shaking. Earthquakes in Taiwan and New York, damaging storms and tornados across several states and unprecedented high winds in cities all around me, shows me something is happening that is quite unusual. At least these […]
I was flipping through a magazine recently when a sentence caught my attention. The headline read, “Nothing brings down a mountain like water.” My thoughts immediately went to the Word of God. Ephesian 5:26 talks about the washing of the water BY THE WORD. This is where my mind went. As I continued to study, […]
I was sitting in my chair, reading Mark 12. As I read a familiar passage, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Sometimes, the sacrifice speaks louder than the size of the gift.” Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich […]
“We are preparing for something.” When IFA President and CEO Dave Kubal spoke these words at a recent meeting, my ears perked up. Those five simple words pierced my heart and took me back to the beginning days of 2020. It was early January of that year when God spoke one word to me: prepare. […]
Yesterday, we talked about declaring and decreeing – today I want to add one additional thought to that. As I studied and meditated about decreeing there was another message I had recently heard that went right along with this revelation. One word stuck out to me concerning that message – the word, impose. Impose is […]
