On Thursday, February 28, I was spending time with God when I suddenly felt prompted to stop reading and pray. I was led to pray that I was stepping out of one place, the past, and into another, my future. I also felt emphatically led to take a step forward (with my feet) and […]
As I was ending the day, I thought, “it’s a buttered egg noodle kind of day.” To those of you who are new to our ministry, that statement wouldn’t mean anything. But to those who have been with us for years, you probably know what I am talking about. You see, there was a time […]
It’s that time of year… when we begin planting seeds to get a jump start on gardening. In preparation for this, I purchased some herb seed to plant, some for me, and some for Breanne. She too wanted fresh herbs. One day I gathered up all my supplies, dirt, seeds, and pots and carried […]
This morning I was reminded of something that happened about a year ago. A man, whom we did not know, bowed his head on the side of a road and cried out to God for help. God answered his prayer. But not in the way he would have imagined. It was early one afternoon; Breanne […]
This morning as I read through my emails, I was surprised by the many prayer needs. However, with each email, the same thing came to mind… “ we need to create a decree and pray it over these needs until they are answered.” Just moments later, I received an email from the Elijah List with […]
One of my friends sent me a text the other day with an interesting statement on it; she was at a meeting and heard a minister talking about when Isaac sowed in the land of famine. You probably know the scriptures I am speaking of, it is found in Genesis 26:12-14 – “Then Isaac sowed […]
I just finished my audio prayer for our partners for the week. I must say, I am beyond blessed. I am overwhelmed with thankfulness for each of our partners. At this time each year, I like to take a moment to share some things with our readers…especially those who are new to us. I want […]
He prepares me for battle; he strengthens me to draw a bow of bronze. Psalm 18:34 I was talking with a friend one day and she shared a story with me that I found interesting. She shared with me about the time when the Winchester Rifle was first invented. All the military had the rifles […]
Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth. Isaiah 43:19 Months ago, I wrote a motivation about pressure and how the enemy will attempt to put pressure on you. Not really an attack, just pressure. And while it is very true that the enemy will often put pressure on Gods people, […]
I was trying to go to sleep. I had an early appointment the next morning, therefore I needed to get some rest. But I couldn’t go to sleep. I tossed and turned. Finally, I sat up and began to pray in the spirit. I could sense something was going on in the spirit, it was […]
At the beginning of last week, local news stations began to predict weather conditions for the coming week. They were predicting a winter mix of sleet, ice and snow. As the days got closer to the weekend, everywhere I went people were talking about the coming weather. They all said the same thing; “they are […]
I was recently thinking about the word of God and all that it is to us. I believe at times we become accustomed to the word of God and forget the power that lies within God’s word. Today, I want to remind you of some of the power of the word of God. Don’t just […]
A few years ago, a friend said these four words to me; it’s not about you. At the time it seemed harsh and cold, yet it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time. I was going through a very difficult situation concerning a family member. They were being hurt and tormented in […]
But the time shall come when you will grow restive and break loose, and you shall tear his yoke from off your neck. Genesis 27:40 My daughter is an adult now. But when she was small, as with most children, I often found myself repeating things to her like “Breanne, don’t do that” or “Bre, […]
Over the weekend, I read something that Mark Rogan from New South Wales shared online that really touched my soul. I want to share it with you today – I pray you will be as blessed by it as I was… About 4-5 weeks ago now I was picking my kids up from school. As […]
After going through two weeks of my granddaughter, Brailee, fighting off sickness and infection, we were all exhausted. When she began to improve, and I got some sleep, I couldn’t help but reflect on the past couple weeks. It was hard. It seemed to be a constant battle. With no sleep, those kinds of battles […]
While flipping through the channels I heard a doctor say something that caught my attention. He said, “stress makes it extremely difficult to conceive.” As I listened, I found that when under significant stress, the probability of conception is greatly reduced. I also found that even animals shut down their reproductive functions in times of […]
It was one of those days when God had me call a few people on the phone. Just to encourage them. After the third time God had me make a call, I thought of a scripture in Proverbs. A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and how good and delightful is a word […]
Just before Christmas, a couple years ago, I was walking outside my house and saw a paper lying behind some shrubbery. I leaned over and picked it up. It was obvious it had been there for a while. It was a note from the local water company telling me I had used about twelve times […]
Psalm 103:20-22 says; Bless the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His commandments, obeying the voice of His word! Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you who serve Him and do His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; Bless and affectionately praise […]
