I get a certain look on my face. Or I grab a notebook and begin to write down notes. Breanne and the kids have come to recognize it. They know exactly what I am thinking. They know whatever just took place, I am going to write a motivation about it. It doesn’t matter if it […]
Yesterday, I shared my thoughts about the footprints we leave behind, especially on social media. In life I have learned, people follow us. Whether we want them to or not, they follow us. Family, children, and friends in the faith. Knowing this, I do believe it is important to make sure we are leaving Godly […]
Wouldn’t you love to hear Jesus personally say to you, “According to YOUR faith, be it unto you?” Well, He already has. It is in His word. Last week we talked about expectations. We talked about how important it is to increase your expectations. I want to share a testimony I once heard from a […]
“According to your faith will it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29 This scripture often comes to mind for me, mostly as an encouragement, but sometimes as a reprimand. From Genesis to Revelation, we see people receiving things from God, according to their faith. As I stated yesterday, often times our first thought is negative. […]
Lofty thoughts. What are they? 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. One translation calls these imaginations lofty. Lofty means something that is lifted up or exalted above something else. In this […]
It was one of those mornings. My plan was to piddle around the house, catching up on cleaning. Knowing this, I brushed my teeth, washed my face and changed into comfy lounge pants and a t-shirt. I pulled my hair up in a bun and I was done. I wouldn’t see anyone today, therefore there […]
The goodness of the Lord never fails me The goodness of the Lord it overwhelms me The goodness of the Lord is always true The goodness of the Lord never fails me The goodness of the Lord it overwhelms me The goodness of the Lord will see me through These are the words of the […]
“The devil needs fear to operate in your life in the same way I need faith to operate in your life.” These are the words the Lord spoke to me early one morning, a little over a year ago. Truthfully, I didn’t think much of it at the time. I simply thought “wow, that’s good!” […]
This morning, as I awoke, a phrase came to mind; Find the Joy. I can hardly believe we are at the end of August. This year has been a blur. It’s not been an easy year for most of us. We have had to be purposeful about maintaining peace and joy has been difficult to […]
My heart leapt as I read the headline: Mayor Proclaims Day of Fasting and Prayer. Excitement bubbled up in me as I remembered the prophetic word from Hank Kunneman; he shared earlier this year that God declared this time to be a decade of difference for the people of God. Is God fulfilling this word? […]
By now, many of us have read or watched the prophetic word by Hank Kunneman about this being a decade of difference. If you have not, you can see it on his website at www.hankandbrenda.org What he is referring to is the type of difference we saw in the book of Exodus. When God made […]
Recently I had a vision of thousands of angels being dispensed across the world, with prayers in hand, bringing forth the fulfillment of what they held in their hand. In the book of Daniel, a familiar verse is found in chapter 10:12-13. Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first […]
It was early one morning; I was driving alone to another city. As I always do, I began to pray over myself and my vehicle. It is a prayer I have prayed thousands of times in my life. “Father, I thank You for a safe trip there and a safe trip back, I thank You […]
It was early Saturday morning. Light was just starting to peek through my windows, as I awoke. My first thought that morning was, “I wish I had an elliptical or treadmill, I would love to get up and exercise.” With all the necessary home renovations the past few months, I had not talked myself into […]
Start where you are. Do what you can. With what you have. This week I have heard this statement or something similar from different voices. God has my attention. And I am obeying His voice. You see, God has put a few things in my heart to do that seem impossible. Yet I know, they […]
For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe […]
It goes without saying, we are in a highly emotional season. But one thing that puzzles me is this; where is all the anger coming from? I am astounded on a daily basis to hear and see the level of anger coming people, many who are born again Christians. This anger is disproportionate with what […]
This morning I was reminded of a story I once heard told by Kenneth E. Hagin. As they story goes…there were two men who had lands that they farmed. They had each borrowed money from a wealthy person in their city to purchase the lands. At the end of each year of harvest, they paid […]
The Bible compares the tongue to a rudder on a ship. A rudder is the small part that causes the ship to go in one direction or another. It’s amazing really that even a large ship can be turned by a small rudder. In James 3, we see this comparison. Look also at ships: although […]
Driving around the curve, my eye caught sight of something in the middle of the road. I quickly slowed down to allow the deer to make up his mind which way he wanted to go. If he went one way it was level ground, but if he chose the other way he would have to […]
