Today, I want to share with you something Kelita sent me last week. This is her study and it is SO good. Enjoy! The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. This is probably one of the most recognized scriptures in the Bible. We hear it often at funerals because it is comforting. But […]
From the emails I have been receiving lately, I would think some of our people are under great challenge and pressure. For days, I too, have had days of great pressure. And it has felt like something was hindering my way or holding me back. After a particularly exhausting day, I lay down on my […]
You can only hear a statement so many times before it gets your attention. This is what happened to me last week, when Kelita would continually say ‘what have you done today to grow your faith?’ One day I wanted to respond ‘are you kidding me! I am writing motivations, studying for those motivations, I […]
Who doesn’t love the game of I Spy? I play it quite often with my grandkids. This past weekend, as I was driving them home, Brailee yelled from the back seat, ‘let’s play I Spy, Nana!’ I said ‘okay, you go first’ and the game began. Brailee took her turn and Bryson and I guessed […]
Over the past few weeks I have been pressing into God more than ever. Because of this, I feel I am hearing Him more than ever and more clearly than before. Recently, I walked into my back door, as I did I heard the Lord softly speak to me. He simply said, ‘I am coming. […]
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 We have often heard this scripture described as seed – time – and then harvest. But what really happens after a seed is sown? The Bible says seedtime and then harvest, […]
Lego – a construction toy consisting of interlocking plastic building blocks. I find it interesting that the word Lego comes from a Danish word meaning ‘I put together and I build.’ My grandkids love Legos, they love to build things with their hands. And with Legos, the sky is the limit! If they can imagine […]
I had jumped out of bed early to get everything done! A couple hours later, as I was scrubbing floors and making cupcakes, I thought ‘what am I doing all this for?’ You see, my daughter, Breanne, had seen something in a Tupperware book that she just had to have. To get it, she had […]
I was praying for a friend this past weekend, as I did, I began to speak these words over her ‘Father, give her beauty for ashes, just as Your word promises.’ Immediately the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘you can’t have beauty without ashes, and you can’t have ashes without fire.’ These words stopped […]
If you are going to err, always err on the side of love. This was instruction I was given many years ago when I was seeking counsel about a certain situation. This counsel has come to mind many times over the years. Most recently, yesterday when a friend asked me for counsel about a situation […]
Kingdom living. We all press toward the promise of Kingdom life. What does kingdom living have to do with Amos 9:13? Amos 9:13 say; Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, […]
For this very reason, applying your diligence to the divine promises, make every effort in exercising your faith. 2 Peter 1:5 AMP A couple weeks ago I sent out a writing on entering into God’s rest. God’s place of rest is a place that I wish everyone reading this could dwell, unfortunately most people do […]
I heard a story over the weekend that was so good, I must share it with you today. The story was about a pilot. He was in the middle of a flight when he noticed a rat was in the plane, chewing through the electrical wiring of the plane. Panicked, the pilot thought ‘I have […]
Over the years, at times, God speaks four words to me to get my attention. He will say ‘be warm, be filled.’ When He speaks this, I know exactly what He is referring to. The scripture is found in James 2:14-17 and it says; What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has […]
Did you know the Bible has more to say about finances than it does about heaven or hell? It’s true. Another truth is found in Luke 16:10-11 which says; He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in […]
I have a question for you today? Is God’s presence flowing out of you each day? You see, last week, I was praying over some prayer cloths to send to a lady who is ill. I pray over them for several days and then lay them in the prayer room for a few days. Why […]
I think the following writing may very well be the most intimate thing I have ever shared. This was something I just recently found out and frankly, I had to sit on it for a week before I could ever share it. However, I felt it necessary to share. One day last week, I was […]
Today I was thinking about something that happened last year, I may have shared this with you before, but I feel led to share it again today. Last year, I sat at the church watching Bryson and Brailee perform their final play of the school year. I watched as Bryson quoted each line perfect and […]
Is your heart and mind at rest today? I heard a statement that pricked my heart a few days ago. The statement was ‘the evidence of your belief is rest.’ This minister was saying ‘if you are truly in faith, you will be at rest in your mind and in your heart, there will be […]
Since the beginning of 2017, and actually throughout much of 2016, the Lord has spoken to me weekly about giving, specifically Luke 6:38; give and it shall be given unto you. I know when God is speaking to me like this it is for a purpose – I KNOW we are in a season where […]
