I was reading through Proverbs this week when I came across a scripture that reminded me of something I had read last week. The scripture is in Proverbs 22:24-25 and it says; “Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go, lest you learn his ways and set a […]
I once read a story about a man who wanted to climb a high mountain and he wanted to accomplish this goal alone. Although it was not recommended by other trained climbers, the man started off on his climb. Everything was going great and he was almost at the top, suddenly his rope broke and […]
Over the weekend I was thinking about declarations and the power in our words, I simply could not get Proverbs 18:21 off my mind. Most of us are very familiar with this particular scripture and many of us realize the importance of the words that come out of our mouth. However, as I pondered on […]
Today I want to teach a little on anointing oil. While most of us have used anointing oils, I want to make sure we all know what it really symbolizes and why the Bible has so much to say about anointing oils. Biblically, we use anointing oils for several different purposes; consecration, prayer, healing and […]
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. If our heart is unhealthy our body can’t function correctly and it may eventually cause death. The statistics can be frightening concerning hearts; we can easily see how important it is to keep our heart healthy. It is just as vital […]
Today I was thinking back to the beginning of Genesis. I was trying to fathom what God saw when He looked out across the darkness of what we now know as earth. The Bible says it was without form and void. That means that there was nothing there, no light, no trees, no life, nothing. […]
I often write about pressure and how it is much like the pressure a woman feels when she is giving birth, when she is trying to birth something into this world, the pressure is usually great. But that is not what I want to talk about today. The other day I received an email from […]
Friday night I was sitting at home relaxing when I received a call from a friend, one I haven’t spoken with in quite some time. It was nice catching up. During the conversation, she began to share with me an experience she had recently had with the Lord, one that absolutely captured my heart and […]
For several weeks I have been thinking about something God said to me. He said ‘keep my testimonies.’ I found this to be very interesting and I kept pondering it. On Friday, we went shopping and Bryson made a statement that brought it all to life for me…I love when that happens. Let me back […]
Yesterday we talked about rest and opening the door to unbelief. I want to talk a little more about that today. Hebrews 4:11 tells us to ‘enter into His rest so that we won’t fall into unbelief.’ The more I walk with God the more I learn that unbelief is something we need to actively […]
This week has been extremely busy and very spiritually draining. While we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE praying for people, as many of you know, when you spend two entire days praying for one person after another, you will find that you are drained and exhausted spiritually. This is how I was feeling Thursday morning. I had […]
One morning I was praying for the people who had called for prayer the day before, asking God to help them hold their confidence. As I prayed I remember something God had shared with me months ago, I would like to share it with you today. Some time ago I was praying for one of […]
This past week I was thinking about something. You see, God had asked me if I wanted to have this one particular thing; I thought about it for days and realized that while I did like this thing, if I could choose, it wouldn’t be my first choice, it would be my ‘settled for.’ God […]
One of my friends sent me a text the other day with an interesting statement on it, that’s what I want to share with you today. While she was at a meeting she heard a minister talking about when Isaac sowed in the land of famine. You probably know the scriptures I am speaking of. […]
This past week, as I am reflecting back, I was reminded of the things God has brought me through. There have been many things. I am so very thankful that He walked with me every step of the way. In thinking about most of the challenges I have faced, I discovered He did not deliver […]
This morning I was thinking about a call I once received from my friend Deborah. She said she was having an emotional breakdown. That’s was very unusual for her; she was one of the most emotionally stable people I know. As we talked I found that she was longing for the comfort of a spouse. […]
When thinking about David in the Bible, most of us think of him as King David. Yet before he was known as king he was known as a man after God’s heart. It was his heart after God that caused him to be chosen to be anointed as king. This one thing set him apart […]
A friend shared a story with me, a true story, that pierced my heart and opened a door for God to speak to me concerning this incredible story, I want to share it with you today. She spoke of a young girl, high school age. This young girl was not popular or beautiful but she […]
No matter where we look today we hear people saying that it is the time to seek God through prayer. Many people across the nation are hearing the same call. As I was thinking this morning about the many people who are feeling like it is time to seek God through prayer, my mind went […]
A couple weeks ago we sent out an email inviting our readers to check out the new things on our website. Since that day I have had several emails asking me to explain what a mezuzah is and what it means, I would like to take the time to do that today. In Hebrew mezuzah […]
