After yesterday’s teaching on famine, I got a few emails. One of our long-time partners jokingly said ‘when I saw the title I did not want to read that email, but God prompted me to keep reading.’ I wasn’t offended at all, I know exactly how she feels. I have had times and seasons in […]
Today I want to talk with you about a group of familiar scriptures. They are found in Ephesians 6:10-16; “finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For […]
I was listening to an interview from a well-known author. He was talking about his books, one of his books was called One More Day. It was about being able to spend one more day with someone you loved who is now gone. When asked why the subject of that book, he said that after […]
God appointments…that’s what I call them. They are those appointments you make, thinking they are for one purpose, not realizing God has orchestrated the appointment. As it turns out, the appointment had very little to do with what you thought it was about. I had one of those this past week. I had made a […]
This past weekend I was speaking to a friend on the phone. In the midst of the conversation he made a statement that captured my attention. Frankly I couldn’t tell you anything he said after this statement. He said ‘America has sown millions of dollars of seeds into other countries.’ That statement jumped in my […]
I want to share a sweet little story with you today. As usual, God speaks to me through every day events, this event was one like that. My daughter, Breanne, loves animals and is forever rescuing animals. If a turtle is in the middle of the road, she always stops and takes it to the […]
This morning I was reminded of a dream I once had. I dreamt that I was pregnant and I began having labor pains. I panicked because I was so far from the hospital. Everyone around me kept saying ‘it’s okay, these things take time, it has only started, and it will be awhile. But I […]
As I drove home from a meeting out of town, my daughter, Breanne, began to talk about an upcoming horse clinic she was going to. She shared with me how the trainers made the horses walk through pool noodles, small swimming pools, over wooden planks and bridges and several other things. When Breanne was finished […]
The other night one of my friends sent me a text at an hour that would have been the middle of the night for her. I was surprised to receive it and commented on it the following day when we spoke. She told me that she had a dream and it was so vivid and […]
This past week, a friend sent me a text. It said ‘God told me to send you a scripture, here it is.’I read the scripture reference she had sent, and one word in the scripture captured me immediately. The scripture is from Job 22:28, in the Amplified Bible, it says; “You shall decide and decree […]
Last week I was listening to a teaching at a Leadership conference. I was hearing the man speak about what he felt his job was as the leader of his ministry. He said he was responsible for two things; the way things were done in his ministry and protecting the atmosphere of his ministry. I […]
Let me describe a scenario that most of us have experienced. We hear the word of God concerning our situation and we began to declare that word over our life. We stand firm on that word knowing that it will come to pass. Full of faith, we stand. Suddenly it seems as if attacks are […]
This morning in my prayer time, I began to pray about the heart of a worshipper. I am a worshipper. Yet, I desire to worship God more – I don’t mean more often, I mean more deeply. I often pray and ask the Holy Spirit to show me, teach me how to worship God in […]
Until recently, my prayer time of the morning has been routine. I would go into my prayer room and pray for a short period of time about general things. Then I would get out my confession scriptures and quote those, which really builds my faith. Then I would pray over my family, my partners and […]
One weekend a couple summers ago, I was blessed to have Bryson, Brailee and their parents over for the entire weekend. If that wasn’t blessing enough, a friend of theirs had loaned them one of those commercial bounce houses with a slide for the kids to enjoy while we worked in the yard. Bryson loves […]
In 2 Kings, we find a widow woman who is struggling during a time of famine. The prophet comes to her house and asks her a question; what do you have in your house? The woman says she has a bottle of oil and that is all she has. He tells her to get the […]
When I am in my prayer time, it is my hearts cry to please the heart of the Father, and while pleasing is one thing; total satisfaction is a goal I strive for. I want my God to be satisfied with my worship and praise to Him. I want Him to be satisfied with the […]
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:4 As I was praying for one of our readers yesterday, I was thinking about how they were getting tired of the battle and the conflict. I thought of a scripture found in James 1:4. Later that day, […]

Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end.” Isaiah 9:6-7 Merry Christmas from A […]
“I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:18 I have often said that God works in atmospheres. Just like the weather, if the elements are conducive for a storm or tornado, that is what we will see. On the flip side, if the weather is conducive for a sunny, beautiful day – […]
