Eternal perspective or seasonal perspective…which one do you have? I was thinking about this over the weekend. We must realize there is a huge difference in eternal perspective and seasonal or daily perspective. For instance, if I am at a family gathering with lots of food and I choose to view it from a daily […]
‘Don’t flinch when the devil rears his head.’ These are the words God spoke to me recently. Hebrews 10:38 says; ‘Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.’ I was thinking about this scripture a couple weeks ago when something occurred in […]
Regret is a powerful thing. While it is not always possible to go back and do things over again, it is always possible to have a happy ending. All we have to do is rewrite the ending. I was thinking along these lines this morning as I read a line that said, ‘this story has […]
Continual – continuing indefinitely in time without interruption, recurring in steady, usually rapid succession. I found myself sitting at my desk this morning, thinking about how very thankful I am for the job I have. I love what I do. I love writing, I love encouraging, I love teaching the word of God. I am […]
I have not seen a time like this before, a time where spiritual attacks of weariness are rampant. It seems like everyone I have talked to in the last couple days are being pressed beyond what they feel they can endure. And I am not talking about new Christians, I am referring to seasoned, strong, […]
On Thursday, October 12th, I received an email from Glory of Zion ministries with the following word. During this Tabernacles week, I have tried to set aside extra time to read the Word of God. When I was reading from Psalm 112 this morning, I was encouraged how it presents the triumph of faith: “Life […]
Lately, faith, and especially people of strong faith have been on my mind. I was thinking about how it was when I was first born again, it has been over 25 years. Back in those days, the word of faith was taught everywhere…at least every place I was. I heard faith, faith and more faith. […]
As I walked through the office I heard the Lord say, ‘there is an anointing on the thanks.’ I thought ‘okay, what does that mean?’ He simply said, ‘mail that new Bible to Kelita, you can wait on yours.’ You see, I had just received the new Kenneth Copeland study Bible in the mail. I […]
Expect the unexpected – this is what God is calling us to do in this season. I was writing our partner letter on Monday, just before I sent it out, I received an audio clip from Kelita. Normally, I would wait until I completed my task to listen, however, I felt compelled to hear the […]
When will the pruning end? That is a question I used to ask myself, that is, until I came across John 15. John 15:1-2 in the Amplified says; I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that […]
‘God’s nature is abundance, miracles only occur when there is lack.’ These are words I once heard Kenneth Copeland say. I was reminded of this very thing recently as I read an article by Jerry Savelle. I was also reminded of a scripture Ronnie Burch gave me one day. She said to me ‘the Lord […]
This week we have talked about cultivating the presence of God in your home. I believe the Lord wants to have His manifest presence in the home of every born-again believer. I believe He wants His presence to dwell with us, daily. I am sure that is what you want as well. Prayer is good. […]
Yesterday, we discussed the things that you can do to bring God’s peace and presence into your home. I believe if you do these things consistently, your home will become a place where God abides, not just visits. I also believe if you pray enough in your home and worship enough in your home that […]
It’s already there. Did you know that? Whatever you have need of is already there. God reminded me of this just yesterday. My daughter called me to talk about something she wanted to do financially. My response to her was, pray about it, sow a seed toward it and then wait for God’s timing. As […]
It’s time to seek the Lord! Many have been hearing that call across the nation for some time now. No matter where we look today we hear people saying that it is the time to seek God through prayer. As I was thinking this morning about the many people who are feeling like it is […]
Do you find yourself in a wilderness of sorts today? If so, I have great news for you! As I drove to work today, I was praying about some things in my life. In my conversation to God I began to say… ‘Look God, how You provided for the children of Israel in the wilderness, […]
Pressure – The act of squeezing or crushing. The state of being squeezed or crushed. The force of one body acting on another by weight or the continued application of power. A constraining force or impulse; that which urges or compels the intellectual or moral faculties; as the pressure of motives on the mind, or […]
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. As I drove to work this morning, I glanced over to my left and saw the most beautiful moon. As I admired the moon, I began to thank God for all His creations. I drove a little further and saw the huge American flag at […]
This morning I was reading a card from one of our beloved partners, she was sharing some upcoming medical tests that were ahead of her. As I read her card a song sprang up in my spirit for her. The song is by Fred Hammond and it says; No weapon formed against me shall prosper, […]
‘Stop! That’s not the way it works!’ These are the words I heard coming from the backseat as I began to pray. I was driving Bryson and Brailee home after a wonderful day and night with them. As I usually do, I began to pray on the ride to their house. I began with ‘thank […]
