Yesterday we talked about going through the fire and I would like to expound on that a little more today, if I may. Today, I want to talk with you about silver and how it gets its shine. Did you know one of the definitions of silver is actually ‘shine?’ I don’t particularly like silver, […]
Few people want to talk about the fire – the purging process of God. While we may not talk about it, if we are ever going to grow in God – it remains a part of the believer’s life. In Zechariah 13:9 God says that He will bring some through the fire, He will refine […]
Today I woke up thinking about the scripture found in 2 Chronicles 26:5 that says “as long as he sought the Lord, He made him to prosper.” I am a seeker of God; I have been for many years. Still, sometimes I go through dry seasons. During those seasons, I have little or no desire […]
A few weeks ago Breanne bought Bryson this cute little t-shirt with a big picture of nachos on it. Underneath it said ‘Nacho Business.’ Bryon is a clown and loves to make people laugh, therefore she felt it fit his personality – as did I. Little did I know that God would use that little […]
Almost daily I receive an email or Facebook alert about something we need to pray about in the earth. These are alerts of dreams men and women of God have had that they believe to be warnings of the darkness that is coming upon the earth. Apart from God, many of these would be frightening. […]
A year or so ago, Breanne decided to home school Bryson for a few months until she was past her move and all the other things that came with it. She felt it would make things much easier for them to get packed and moved and set up without having to add extra stress to […]
Early one morning I was answering an email from a friend. This friend had written me to share with me that he was having some thoughts in his mind, thoughts that went against what he was standing in faith for, thoughts that went against the word of God. These had been secret thoughts he had […]
I want to share a story with you today, a story of fear, a bridge and the blessing on the other side. My daughter, Breanne, has been wanting to trade her SUV for a truck for a few months now. She has looked and looked for something in her price range, she has even […]
I watched a cute movie today about a couple of kids, each with a handicap, who became great friends. What one was lacking, the other possessed and together they caused each other to become the very best version of themselves. They empowered each other to find strengths in the places where they were once weak. […]
Today I was thinking about an email I once received from a partner of this ministry. I want to share it with you today; “So, we were digging up some sweet potatoes today. And we got a great amount, we re-planted what looked like it could benefit. Then brought the potatoes in to wash….my husband […]
Several years ago I had a dream that I entered a large building. While I was in one of the rooms, water began to pour into the room and it kept coming until it covered my head. I was trying to find a way out but I couldn’t. Finally, I saw a door and pushed […]
“It is finished.” John 19:30 Everyone loves miracles. I love to sit and ponder the many miracles that God has done for me in my life of serving Him for the past 25 years. There were some that absolutely amazed me; they make me smile even to this day. You know how it is, when […]
This is probably my favorite spiritual season. It is the time when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. We celebrate something that is absolutely impossible…yet it happened anyway. We celebrate complete and total victory in the face of devastating defeat…or at least that is how it must have appeared. As I was thinking about […]
This past weekend, I dealt with some family issues. Some things were said and done that hurt my Mom’s feelings and that never goes well with me. I love and honor my Mom and I don’t like to see her hurt. It is the same with my daughter and my grandchildren, they are absolutely off […]
Yesterday I heard this statement numerous times and it made me sit up and listen. Fight or Flight. I want to talk about this in the context of spiritual things. It is my experience that this choice occurs just before breakthrough. You literally are standing on the brink of breakthrough and for some reason – […]
“I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11:25 With Easter just around the corner, resurrection has been on my mind this week. I have been thinking about the power of resurrection. When Jesus walked on this earth, He daily walking in the fullness of the power of God. Yet, when He died and rose […]
This morning I had an enlightening conversation with a friend about trusting God. We talked about the difference of faith in God and trusting God. As we did, I was reminded of a few areas of my own life where trusting God is an issue, one that I obviously need to deal with. I want […]
One day, I was reading in the Amplified Bible about the children of Israel and their journey through the wilderness. It says in Deuteronomy 1:2, it is only eleven days journey yet Israel took forty years to get beyond it. It took them 40 years to get beyond the wilderness. I thought about many people […]
Since the beginning of 2016, the Lord has spoken to me almost daily 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 our giving is being rewarded […]
I read a short word the other day by Marsha Burns that I absolutely love and I want to explain why, but first, let me share her short word with you: “When your forward momentum seems to have stalled, be still. Flailing around will only set you back.There is no need to worry that you […]
