As I was preparing for work, I was thinking about something that happened the day before. The day before Breanne had informed me that Bryson had a doctor’s appointment that day. She said he had a cough and she was going to take him to the doctor to have it checked. I thought this […]
“Don’t you realize, you are now eating the harvest from the seeds you sowed last season?” This is something God spoke to me just last week. You may recall, I shared with you how God began speaking to me in January about the scripture found in Deuteronomy 8:18; But you shall remember the LORD your […]
I am reminded today of an incident that once happened at our office. We were home on a Sunday when we received a call that someone had driven their car through our building. I was stunned. It is a brick building. One that you would have to go up over a sidewalk to get to. […]
I always look forward to Partner Prayer Call nights. This week’s call excited me beyond imagination. It wasn’t being able to gather with our partners, although I love that. It wasn’t the teaching, although I had studied diligently for it. For me, this time, it was the prayer time. Not actually the prayer time, but […]
Ecclesiastes 11:4 has always been an insightful scripture to me. As I read it today I thought about it in an entirely different way. The scripture says, “He that observes the wind will not sow, he who regards the clouds will not reap.” I have often written on this scripture. Previous writings have focused on […]
Put in the sickle. This phrase has remained in my spirit for the past week. Because this phrase wouldn’t leave me, I began to study the word concerning putting in our sickle. I found two scriptures I felt were relevant to my study. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Joel 3:13 And […]
Transparency. I am often told how transparent I am in my writings. In other words, I don’t hide my flaws. I often share them. I am real and human. I make mistakes like everyone else. But. I continue to seek God. I continue to ask him to change me daily. If my mistakes can keep […]
I want to share a story with you today. A true story. An enlightening story. One day last week, Breanne and I were taking care of some business outside of the office. Because this business took up most of our day, we didn’t plan to go to the office. That was our plan. But God […]
Over the weekend I glanced back over a book I had once read. The book is by my friend, Pastor Karen Jethroe. As I read I was reminded of one part that has remained with me since first reading this book. It was the part about influence. Pastor Karen gave a definition of this word, […]
Faith without works is dead. We have all heard this scripture but today I saw it differently. I was reading the book of James when I came to these scriptures. For some reason I read and reread it over and over again. Suddenly I began to see this in a whole new light. It may […]
The Way Out of Lack If you have been with us very long, you may recall what I am about to share with you. Years ago, while I was working for a ministry in Cleveland, I sought God about finances. You see, I did not make enough money each week to pay my bills and […]
After yesterday’s writing, I was reminded of something Breanne once shared with me. She had met someone in ministry and was sharing some things with her. She shared with me how she told her about the difficult challenge I went through with my Dad dying of cancer, then Jesse dying and then one year later […]
Saturday night I had a dream that seemed to last all night long. It wasn’t a dream of heavy revelation. It wasn’t an encounter with God. It was just a dream. A dream about normal occurrences in my day. It was a day in the life of Kim dream. Through the dream I would do […]
On earth as it is in heaven. This phrase exploded in me as I listened to my friend, Vicki, talk about her mom. Vicki’s mom, had moments before, went to be with the Lord. Vicki had cared for her mom in her home for months, praying over her daily. This wonderful lady, well past 100, […]
I don’t know if it was a dream or an encounter, all I knew is that it was God and that was enough. It had been ten days or more of intense warfare and I was exhausted. I hadn’t slept well in days. My nights were tormented beyond anything I had ever experienced. I had […]
Have you ever been given a word from God that you didn’t want to hear? I have. Only a few times, but I have had those type of words. They were words straight from God. When I think of this truth, I think about Moses. Remember when God told him to go to Pharaoh and […]
This past week, I was blessed to watch my grandchildren in an activity I love to watch. Kite flying. I sat on my back porch and watched as Brailee attempted kite flying for the first time this year. Although I love to watch as they fly their kites, the first day is difficult to watch. […]
“I am the righteousness of God!” I hear these words quite often. It is one of the most quoted scriptures in the Bible today. Are we the righteousness of God? The word of God says we are. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says; For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that […]
“He walked through fire.” These were the words spoken about Deontay Wilder in his dramatic comeback moment. Deontay Wilder fought Luis Ortiz in a heavyweight championship boxing match over the weekend. As I read his story this morning, I smiled. I love a comeback story. We don’t hear of these stories very often, but when […]
There is power, power, wonder working power in the precious blood of the Lamb. I love the words to this old song. It has been coming to mind continually for the past few days. It began with something my seven-year-old granddaughter said on the way to school one morning. The grandkids stay with me once […]
