It’s no secret that who we hang around with affects us, mentally and spiritually. Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” 1 Cor. 15:33 He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 It’s important we surround ourselves with people who will nourish […]
Today I was thinking about a conversation I once had with my daughter. I began to ponder on how most of us struggle with falling short, even when we are doing our very best. In our conversation she shared with me how she had been cleaning and working all weekend yet had not finished her […]
“Before every reaction there is first an action.” This is what God spoke to me this morning as I was studying the book of Philippians. I want to talk with you this morning about a very familiar scripture from the Amplified Bible. It is found in Philippians 4:19. And my God will liberally supply, fill […]
Over the past 25 years, I have had many prophecies or prophetic words spoken over me, some that came to pass, many did not. I believe most people mean well, but not all are really giving a word from God. It may be something they think, or wish would happen. Over the years I have […]
This morning I was reminded of a story I once heard about a beach house in Florida. It was during the time of Hurricane Michael. The news media showed pictures of the beach, every house was completely gone – except one. After seeing the pictures, I wondered what made that house different. A few days […]
A victorious life, it’s what we all strive for. It’s why I do what I do – to show others that a life of victory in God is possible. Nothing encourages me more than hearing one of our writings been a blessing and given reason to hope. I received an email from one of our […]
“Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19 This is, of course, one of my favorite scriptures! It’s the foundational scripture for our ministry. Perhaps that’s why the note on […]
Many of us have experienced the numerous spiritual and financial benefits of giving. But did you know there are other surprising benefits as well? He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or […]
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2 Corinthians 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 […]
What is in your house today? Peace? Anger? Strife? Power of God? What atmosphere dominates your home? Your surroundings? What atmosphere surrounds your children? Is it one that would please God? Or is it one of anger, division, ungodly control and strife? What exactly rules and reigns in your home? Is it God and His […]
As I was spending time in prayer a few night ago, God reminded me of something Brailee had once said to me. Here is what happened several months ago… The kids were spending the night with me, we had a fun afternoon and then it was bedtime. Brailee has this thing she does, probably because […]
I can hardly believe the things I am hearing some Christians say in the past few days. Truly, I am astounded how quickly we can forget what the word of God says. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Mark […]
Several years ago, Jesse Duplantis taught a message on a choking point. How much can you believe God for? At what level or amount will you choke, or be unable to receive what God is offering? It always makes me think of the man in the Bible who ask Jesus for something and Jesus said, […]
As this year’s election and the chaos surrounding it comes to a climax, stress and anxiety are through the roof. How can we peacefully walk through this epic week? I read a story many years ago that helps me in times like this. Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly […]
“The anointing is on the stand.” These are the words God spoke to me when I sought Him at the beginning of this year. I don’t know why it works this way – but God can say one simple sentence and our spirit knows the completeness of what He is saying to us. This one […]
I was reading an article today by Jerry Savelle. He shared something the Lord had spoken to him. He said, “In 2020, I will open a new door and bring about supernatural increase beyond anything you’ve ever experienced before.” He went on to say he asked God two questions. First, “What this for him personally, […]
What kind of world will our children grow up in? I am sure many of us have asked ourselves this question recently. As a Nana, I look around and see the mess our world is in. This is certainly not the atmosphere I would choose for my grandchildren to grow up in. At times of […]
Depression and hopelessness has swept across our nation. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of those who suffer with depression has tripled. It saddens me to see that many who are facing a lack of hope are born-again believers – the Body of Christ. It’s even more alarming that it happened in […]
Have you ever felt the need to pray for patience? I don’t know about you, but I have prayed for patience many times in my life. Frankly, it seemed the more I prayed for patience, the more trials came my way. In the past, I would laugh it off and say, “That’s what happens when […]
Every person carries an atmosphere with them. Some call it an attitude. I call it an atmosphere because it invades the room when they arrive and departs when they leave. You may have noticed this. Someone will come into the room who is agitated or angry and the entire rooms seems to change, it just […]
