There was something very different about the Apostle John. Words were said about him that were not said about any other Apostle. In scripture John was referred to as the one whom Jesus loved. The most peculiar thing is that you find the statement, the one whom Jesus loved, in...

I have been serving the Lord for many years now. However, I can still remember the first lesson He ever taught me and not only taught me but required of me. This one scripture became so ingrained in me that I can’t get away from it. So much so, that...

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard people pray this prayer, “Lord, use me, put me in ministry, use me for the Kingdom.” While their motive is absolutely sincere, I believe a better prayer may be, “God make me useable for the Kingdom of God.” Yes, it...

I, like many others, have prayed the prayer of faith and seen people instantly healed. I have fasted and witnessed a tremendous breakthrough. I have laid hands on the sick and seen those who couldn’t walk, walk again. I have confessed the Word of God over a situation and seen...

Did you know your body listens to YOU more than anyone else? On a daily basis your brain is listening to every single word you say. Not only that, but your body is responding to what you say. It is also responding to the things you choose to think about...

My favorite place to sit and read my bible is on my back porch swing. These days I must do that early in the morning to avoid the stifling heat. That’s what I was doing this morning when I noticed something unusual. I have shared with you before how I...

Today, I want to share something with you from Pastor Beth Trussell of Cornerstone Church. It’s a strong but necessary message for all of us. In my time with the Lord this morning this is what the Lord spoke to me. While he was saying this to me, I felt...

This weekend, I sat on my back porch watching a storm roll in. I was also watching how the birds just kept coming to their feeder – they paid no attention to the rolling thunder, the lightening or the high winds. It took me back to a time when Bryson...

I love when we get this type of emails from our readers and partners. Many of our partners, like this one, has been with us for decades and we have watched their lives and been privileged to watch how they grow in God. You are going to love this real...

A few years ago, God began to teach me about honor. It began with a simple lesson. I had received a personal check in the mail. It wasn’t common as most checks that come to the ministry are for the ministry. Every now and then, perhaps a couple times a...

Thursday morning, I was sitting in my office working on my daily writings. I was alone, nothing major was happening, I was simply writing. I glanced over at my prayer wall when the Lord spoke to me. He said, “I am sending rain.” When He spoke those words I could...

I want to share a funny, but powerful story with you today. It’s about a little girl and her chickens. As most of you know, my granddaughter, Brailee is a farm girl through and through. Her dream is to have her own horse that will do everything she wants it...

Recently, I attended a meeting out of town to hear a woman minister on something God had revealed to her. It was an awesome message and quite thought-provoking. She shared how many of us expect worse case scenarios. In other words, when something is late coming home, we often think...

Today, as I was praying about someone’s finances, God reminded me of something Brailee, my granddaughter, said to me when she was only seven years old. God often speaks to me through my grandkids, this was especially true when they were very little. Each grandchild is different, but God has...

It has been many, many years ago since I heard the Lord speak to me about unshakable faith. Still, I remember it as if it were yesterday. I was in my prayer room at our office. I had been praying and worshipping God when His words stopped me in my...

The phrase ‘heavens rain’ has been on my mind for a few weeks now. I first heard the words when a man I had hired to repair something at my house made the statement. He was looking at my garden. He said, “Wow, your garden is doing great!” I responded,...

Scandals and exposures are happening all over the place, even in the church. There is most definitely a shaking going on. It has many feeling there is no hope, as if things are spiraling out of control. However, it is the perfect time to remember, we dwell in an unshakable...

Today, I was reminded of a writing I sent out in 2015. I hope it blesses you, it blessed me today. I was once heard a story about a test that was being done with hearts, human hearts. Doctors and scientists were testing hearts outside the body, I think you...

It has been many years ago now that my Aunt taught me to can and freeze foods for winter. The first year was expensive for me. I had to buy jars, lids, canners, pressure cookers and all the supplies. Additionally, I purchased beans, potatoes, and cucumbers. Everything I wanted to...

It’s been over 18 years ago now, but I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was one of those heart-stopping moments that are every parent’s nightmare. My daughter and I were shopping at a local mall. She and I were looking at clothes, just a few feet away...

Have you ever thought about the helmet of hope? I must admit, I have not given it a lot of thought. That is until I heard a minister make a statement one night on television. The scripture reference is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:8, it says; but let us who...

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the...

One morning a few years ago, my grandson and I were driving up the mountain to get freshly picked turnip greens to freeze for winter. He began to share with me something he had learned about making candy. He told me how they heated it up until it was so...

I love this time of year. It is the season when every single year when God shows me things about the seeds we sow. It never gets old, at least for me. Day after day and year after year, I am amazed at the lessons He either teaches me or...

You know, sometimes God speaks through the funniest and oddest things. For that reason, I keep my spiritual ears attuned to listen for His voice. I had one of those moments this week. My friend share with me that her 80-year-old mom had started asking her to pick something up...

There was a season I had some time ago, where I had several dreams from God. At one time, there were three different insights that seemed separate yet, they all went together – I want to share those with you today. I felt it was God giving me revelation of...

Today, I want to share a prophetic word/ dream from Nate Johnston. It is one I shared before, I think a couple years ago – however, I feel it is timely in this season. MY WARNING FROM THE LORD ON THIS NEXT MOVE OF GOD Last week, I had a...

Yes, I am going to talk about offense again, perhaps, someone needs it. I know I always need to be reminded of the danger of offense. It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if...

Today, I began to think about Bryson and some things that happened several years ago, when he was younger – at least that is when it began. One day when Bryson was about ten, I think, I was sitting in his room, helping his Mom organize it. I was going...

This morning, I began to reflect on the issue of offense regarding a recent event. I realized that, regardless of the situation, I could not allow myself to be offended. So, I prayed for the strength not to take offense. In that moment, two distinct thoughts came to mind. First,...

I read something online today that I want to share with you and expound on. One of the most painful things you will experience in ministry is realizing that not everyone assigned to your table was assigned to your heart. Jesus had Judas in His circle. David had Ahithophel. Paul...

I once read an article about the effects of Hurricane Matthew. While reading, I came across an interesting article. The title was something like, Treasures Found. As I continued to read, it said a man had found a huge shark tooth that washed up during this horrible storm, a treasure...

I once read a quote that impacted my heart and soul, I want to share it with you today. Here is the quote. When someone is pregnant, she is not “expecting a child” – she already has one. She is not “going to be a mother” – she already is...

I once heard a story that I found so interesting – it comes to mind several times each year. I would like to share it with you today. The story was about a missionary who was being flown over Africa on his way to a mission trip. In the area...

For the past few weeks, my Pastors have been teaching on the Holy Spirit. They have taught it from several different viewpoints, and it has been quite illuminating. It has also caused my mind to be focused on Holy Spirit a lot. Wednesday night when I left church, I had...

One morning last week, I awoke with one word running through my mind, over and again. As I lie there meditating on the word, a scripture came to mind. The word that I was pondering on was, restore. The scripture is from the book of Isaiah. But this is a...

It’s almost that time of year again. Time when we begin to see harvest in the gardens planted in my area. Almost, but not quite yet. The first thing I do each morning is walk outside and look at my cucumber, bell pepper and other plants. I started seeing teeny cucumbers...

I was reading the other day about the days of the book of Acts. It is amazing that the outpouring of God was still going strong two years later, as we find in Acts 2. I began to think about how they kept their passion for God and His works...

I had an experience one night about a week ago. I’m not sure if you would really call it a dream, but it was while I was sleeping. It seemed like it lasted all night long. It was an audible voice, repeatedly quoting scripture throughout the night. I woke up...

One day last year, I read something quite profound online; at least, it was to me. Here is what I read. We are not to make false statements about anyone’s character or actions. We are to speak about all people in a fair and just manner. Sadly, I have ministered...

For the first time in a long time, I had time to sit on my back porch and enjoy the morning. I have been diligently working on my yard and vegetable garden, so I haven’t really had time to just sit and enjoy – until today. It was nice. In...

In my last writing, I shared a little about my garden and the rain and how the garden loves it. Even as I was writing, the Lord began to speak to me about my plants, as I called them. In the writing, I referred to them as plants, which they...

There is something life-changing about moments when God speaks profound truth through an ordinary conversation. In an instant, everyday words can carry divine inspiration, reminding us of what matters most and leading us toward a more meaningful path. I was having a phone conversation with a friend who was discussing...

This writing came up in my mind today – about a partner I had been corresponding with in a previous year. At the time, this partner was going through an extremely difficult time. At the time, he shared with me a word from God that his wife gave him years...

Just last week, I was at the bank taking care of some ministry business when God began to speak to me about something I was seeing. I was sitting in a chair, waiting on the lady I needed to see become available when a police officer walked in. I watched...

I was flipping through a magazine one day when a sentence caught my attention. The headline read, “Nothing brings down a mountain like water.” My thoughts immediately went to the Word of God. Ephesian 5:26 talks about the washing of the water BY THE WORD. This is where my mind...

Today I was reminded of a text a friend once sent me, with an interesting statement on it; she was at a meeting and heard a minister talking about when Isaac sowed in the land of famine. You probably know the scriptures I am speaking of. It is found in...

I want to share with you something that has been on my mind lately. It's about a message I received from the Lord regarding a time of multiplication for His people. I was reminded of a dream I had a few years ago, and I feel compelled to share it...

I was talking with a friend on the phone one night. I was sharing with her some seemingly small but wonderful things that had happened the week before. I told her, “I was not expecting these things at all!” When I made that statement, the Lord spoke to my heart...

Today I was thinking about a day, about this time last year, when I called my sister to chat for a bit. Life can get busy, and we don’t always have time to talk during the week. During our conversation, she mentioned an event that was happening that day and...

I have been thinking about something most of us don’t want to talk about or even think about. It has constantly been on my mind for several weeks. I tried to ignore it at first, but it just wouldn’t go away, it has stayed on my mind daily. I am...

God spoke something to me this week that was very profound. Something I have never really thought of even though I love gardening and love to watch seeds grow. He said, “Seeds grow in the darkness.” Allow me to share with you the context of this conversation. I was talking...

My sweet little Mama is 84 years old. She has more energy than anyone I know. She is always busy, moving and shaking. Her husband and her plant a garden each year. Not a small garden. They plant enough of a garden to feed several families. Last year, he dealt...

I love this time of year. I have probably said that every year about this time, but I truly do. I love watching my garden grow. Knowing the Bible principle of sowing and reaping, it never ceases to speak to me. I love how my plants love the rain. Sure,...

God never ceases to amaze me. I am always stunned by how much He cares about, not only the big challenges in our lives, but the little things as well. Let me share a story with you. I was out of town, visiting friends and serving communion to a group...

Just before the month of May began, I sent out a letter to our ministry partners. I asked them to consider to commit to praying for wholeness in the Body of Christ throughout the month of May. It was something I felt strongly the Lord prompted me to do. Thankfully,...

A few years ago, God asked me if I wanted to have this one thing. After thinking about it for days, I realized while I did like the thing God was asking me about, if I could choose, it wouldn’t be my first choice. It would be my settled for....

Last week, almost nightly, I crawled into bed beyond exhaustion. Why? It’s time to prepare our garden, find the right seeds and plant the seeds we purchased. I love this time of year. I love gardening, it is very meditative to me, but it is also hard work. A type...

One morning last week, I awoke at 4am. I tried to go back to sleep for a few minutes, however, sleep eluded me. As I lay there, God began to speak to me about the season we are in. He said it was birthing time. He shared with me that...

Several years ago, Breanne was looking through Bryson's backpack and found a note from his teacher. It was a note from Mrs. Nikki to Bryson. Breanne read the note and then sent me a picture of it saying, “I am so proud.” Without giving me details, she said Bryson had...

Recently, as I sat watching the flames dancing across the logs in my fireplace, my mind drifted back to the past several years. For some reason I began to think about the things that God has brought me through. There have been many circumstances. While I am so very thankful...

For the past week or so, something has been stirring around in my spirit. Three words…Point of Contact. While thinking on those words, I searched out a card I once received from a partner. I remembered what she had written in that card was impactful for me at the time....

I heard Perry Stone tell a story one day of how, many years ago, he had a dream about a certain man. Not once, but twice in one night. The next morning, he told his wife and she asked, “Did you pray for him?” He replied, “no” and later that...

A phrase came to mind this morning; one I haven’t been able to stop thinking about. The phrase is, “Write your own story.” In my mind, I pictured a book, I was looking at the biography on the book and what it said about the author. I felt the Lord...

The Lord spoke something to my heart recently that has had me pondering this pivotal truth for days. He said, “if you pressed in for everything else like you did for that one thing, you would see the same answers you saw in that situation.” Allow me to explain. A...

I have had a scripture on my mind for a couple days; it is found in Luke 18. Let me share the passage of scripture with you. Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not faint, saying: "There was in a certain city...

I was once walking through my kitchen when the Lord spoke a sentence to me. He said, “There are times when the wind shifts to your favor.” He immediately took my thoughts back to a scene in movie that I have mentioned many times. It is called Facing the Giants....

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...

We were driving out of town, in the right-hand lane when we saw blue lights ahead. Breanne quickly put her blinker on and moved to the left lane. The vehicles behind us remained in the right lane as they sped by the officer’s car, Breanne just shook her head. Frustrated she...

There has been something on my mind for a week or so. It is a scripture; a parable found in Matthew chapter seven. As I thought about this parable, I couldn’t help but think about a story I heard several years ago. I was watching the news one night. It...

Last week we talked about Abiding Victory. You may be asking, how do I attain such continual victory – I believe prayer, fervent, consistent prayer is one key to abiding victory. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paul encourages believers to “pray without ceasing.” This means maintaining a constant attitude of prayer...

My grandchildren are now 19 and 15 years old. However, all their lives, I have had a room at my home that was ‘their’ room. When they were smaller, Bryson had a room because Brailee was a baby and didn’t stay over with Nana. Then it became Bryson & Brailee’s...

I was sitting in my chair, reading Mark 12. As I read a familiar passage, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Sometimes, the sacrifice speaks louder than the size of the gift.” Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped...

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10) These are the words Pastor Dave Roberson prophesied over me many years ago. These words came...

One morning last week I was awakened by a text message. It was a scripture from a friend. I want to share it with you today. So, let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessings if we...

I have been thinking about a scripture for several weeks now. It is found in the Book of John. The version I love is the Amplified Bible. I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident,...

Today, I thought about a scripture and how God once gave me insight concerning this verse. It is found in 2 Corinthians 9:10. Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your...

This morning, I came across a familiar scripture. It is found in Daniel 10:12. Then he said to me, "Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come...

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 scripture and many of us realize the importance of the words that come out of our mouth. However,...

I was once watching a conference when I saw a familiar face in the crowd! It was Brother Norvel Hayes. My mentor for several years, and under whose ministry I am ordained. It was at a ministers conference. As the minister for that night was teaching, he suddenly saw Brother...

I had just finished the audio partner prayer for the week, when the Lord spoke to my heart. He said, “If my people are going to see victory, prayer must make a comeback.” I thought that was an odd comment since I had just finished praying – but at the...

God showed me something yesterday in an interesting way, I’d like to share it with you today. My sister and I had to take Mom’s husband to an appointment at the hospital. This hospital has a large parking garage with several levels. We had to park on the level for...

Woven throughout the Bible, we find songs. Songs to God, songs about God, even songs from God. Does God give certain songs for specific seasons? If so, why? On the other side of the Red Sea, Moses and the children of Israel sang a song of deliverance, exalting God for...

Yesterday, we talked about pulling down strongholds. I want to expound a little more on that if I may. The scripture in 2 Corinthians 10 goes on to say… For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and...

What is on your mind today? Is it what the word of God says? Or is it lies that the enemy has planted there? When thoughts come into our mind, they are not an established truth but an invitation. An invitation to align with the truth of God’s word or...

Most of us are familiar with this story from the Bible. Jesus and the disciples were in the boat, attempting to go to the other side of the sea. Now, keep in mind, most of these were fishermen. They knew and fully understood weather. Had the weather looked as if...

Most of us are familiar with Genesis 50:20. We know the story of Joseph and his brothers. How they left him in a pit and he was sold into slavery. He ended up in prison for years. Finally, he came out of the pit, and the prison and entered into...

Have you ever felt like you were heading in the right direction for your breakthrough or your miracle and then something comes along and suddenly you feel like you are going backwards? Do you ever feel like its two steps forward and one step back? I know I have felt...

Scripture paints a vivid picture of the love of God and how he cares for His children – it was one of the first things I discovered. God is good, all the time. However, the truth remains, if we walk with God for any amount of time, things will happen...

Today, I was talking with a pastor friend about some ministry things. In the conversation we began to discuss when and how I became born again. When I think back to that day it always makes me smile at the lengths God will go to for those He pursues. You...

God reminded me today of something that happened several years ago, I want to share it with you today. As I believe it is timely for the season we are in. One day, I headed out to run errands, I stopped by the local grocery store on my way to...

Today I was thinking about a statement/ question a partner once sent me. She asked, “I know you’ve had many experiences with God throughout your life, but have you ever had a dry season where you did not feel his presence?” Ah, the dry seasons. I can honestly say I...

Over the weekend, I was studying and pondering some things God was showing me. As I did, an event that happened to me over twenty-five years ago suddenly flashed through my mind. I had just moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to work for Norvel Hayes Ministries. Because I moved from another...

This is going to be a very personal writing. Very vulnerable for me. It was around noon one day. The third day of a complete fast. During those three days, I had done nothing but study the Bible, pray and declare the word of God. My entire three days were...

This week I have been studying about offense and unforgiveness. While I thought I was very familiar with these subjects, some things I have found have been profound and insightful. One thing I realized as I was studying these subject is that offense often comes because people don’t act the...

Years ago, I listened to a teaching by Pastor Dave Roberson from Tulsa, Ok. This teaching greatly impacted my life - from that day to now. It was called, Peace, The Aggression Weapon of God. When I first began to study this subject, I wasn't clear on how peace could...

It’s that time of year… when we begin planting seeds to get a jump start on gardening. As I was thinking about this today, I remembered something that happened a couple years ago, when Bre and I planted our seeds. I had purchased some herb seed to plant, some for...

It’s something we don’t talk about very often. Many don’t even consistently partake of rest. I see this with those who are in business, ministry or parents, or dealing with sickness or a sick loved one. We seem to run all the time, without thinking about how much our body...

We were driving through town the other day when up ahead we saw blue lights. “Uh oh.” Breanne said. I thought, “it must be an accident.” However, as it came closer, I realized what it was. “Pull over!” I said. “It’s a funeral.” I don’t know if you do this...

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.Ephesians 6:16 Several times this week, God has prompted me concerning the shield of faith. He has compelled me to continually pray that the shield of faith is in place...

It was late one evening when I finally sat down to relax a bit. I picked up a magazine that had come that day in the mail and began to flip through it. Suddenly something caught my attention. It was only two words, yet they spoke volumes to me. Weed...

Every now and then, God will remind me of something that happened a few years ago. During those times of reminding, He is often instructing me to be a raven for someone else. This conversation was based on the story of God feeding Elijah with a raven, of all things, ...

Today, I was reminded of a trip Breanne, and I once took out of town. It was a bright sunny day. We were driving to a nearby city to pick something up for a birthday party. I was the passenger that day. I was quietly riding along, looking out the...

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (2 Tim 4:2) I thought of this scripture last week when I received an early morning call from my aunt, the call actually woke me up. She informed me that she...

It happens to all of us. Out of nowhere, an unexpected challenge comes our way. Our first response in situations like this is vital. I had such an event early Saturday morning. I know better than to speak words that line up with what the enemy is attempting to do...

And he shall speak great words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High. (Dan 7:25) I have thought of this Scripture many times over the past few months, as I see the weariness on the faces of those who have been standing in faith,...

I once heard a profound statement that said, “Prayer is not complete until you have stopped and listened for His voice.” I began to think of how I would feel if Breanne came to me and said, “Mom, thanks for helping me yesterday and thanks for all you do for...

Recently, while teaching a group about communion, I was reminded of something a pastor friend once shared with me. It was a profound insight, and I believe it relates to spending time with God as much as it relates to remaining in a state of humility. Lately, I have been...

Recently, after listening to our pastor teach on offense, I began praying a scripture he suggested found in the book of Psalms. Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! (Ps 139:23) As I began to pray this scripture over myself daily, God...

Today, I want to share with you something that happened many years ago now. It comes back to mind each year as I begin to think about canning season. But first, I want to share some foundational scriptures with you. These are powerful truths we should all be praying over...

This past Sunday, I was listening to Marsha Johnson teach a ladies Sunday school class. I actually knew ahead of time the subject she would be teaching on. She had shared with me that she was teaching on focus. My initial thought was, “I don’t have trouble with focus, I...

A few days ago, I was riding out of town with a friend when she received a phone call from her son. This son had spent years battling an addition to drugs. My friend had stood in faith that he would be delivered and once again, walk with the Lord....

Persecution will come. Jesus said it would. There is nothing we can do to stop it. However, it is our response to it that should set us apart as followers of Christ. I was reading a post from a well-known minister last week. It was a good word. I enjoyed...

Early Monday morning I walked through my house to prepare for the day. As I walked down the hallway, the Lord placed a scripture in my heart that I haven’t thought about for some time. The scripture is found in the book of Exodus. Little by little I will drive them out from...

During my prayer time this morning I was listening to worship music. The words to the song were, “My heart beats for you God, I am so in love with you.” I don’t recall the name of the song, but as I listened to the words a sweet story came...

In my personal life recently, God has been drawing me back to a place in Him that I have not visited as often as I once did. While pondering on this today, I realized this drawing was probably due to a prayer I began praying several months ago. That prayer...

There was something very different about the Apostle John. Words were said about him that were not said about any other Apostle. In scripture John was referred to as the 'one whom Jesus loved.' The most peculiar thing is that you find the statement, the one whom Jesus loved, in...

I want to share a story with you that impacted me and I hope will strengthen you today as well. One of my sisters lives on a farm with cattle. It is not very often that a cow gets out but every now and then one will escape. This happened...

The other day I read a prophetic word that really resonated with me. Later that day, someone sent me the same prophetic word – I felt it was a confirmation that I was to read this word. Over the next few days, I was sent this word from different people....

This is the month where many, if not most people, celebrate love. We would like to also celebrate love this month, the love of God. Actually, we endeavor to share the love of God all the time – but this past week, we were reminded of how very much it...

It has been several years ago now, but recently God reminded me of this day – and the blessing of times of purging. None of us enjoy purging or cutting away of things, yet it is part of God’s plan for us – if we are to grow in Him...

I read something years ago that has stuck with me. Here is what it said. A shark in a fish tank will grow eight inches, but in the ocean, it will grow eight feet or more. The shark can never outgrow its environment. The same is true about us. It...

It was a couple weeks before Christmas and my granddaughter was helping me wrap gifts. I was watching her and thinking, “Oh my goodness, these are not going to look very good.” I wanted to step in and help but I didn’t want to discourage her. I decided to just...

For the past few days, I am hearing this phrase in my spirit, the sound of breakthrough. This morning, I awoke at 2 am. I felt the Lord had awaken me, so I got up and began to talk to Him. I quietly meditated on this phrase, the sound of...

Have you ever been through a season when it seemed like no matter what you prayed, God was not answering? Or at least it appeared that He was not answering? I have. I am not being negative; I am simply being honest. I went through such a season, and it...

This past weekend, I was preparing for single digit temperatures that were coming our way. While I made things as ready as possible, I began to pray and talk to God. I talked to Him about the condition of my heart – I was telling Him that I want to...

This past weekend, I was thinking about the peace of God and how we, as God’s children, could walk in that peace on a daily basis. It almost seems impossible, doesn’t it? With the world in chaos, family issues and even health scares – this peace God speaks of almost...

In my prayer earlier this week, I had a sense of something. I cannot say it was a spoken word from God. It was more of an impression. As I prayed, I knew in the days we are in, we need to walk in more  of the power of God....

As I was thinking about Valentines Day coming next month, my thoughts continually went to a scripture I love. It is found in Song of Solomon 3:4. It says, I have found the one whom my soul loves, I held him and would not let him go. Next month, people all around...

I believe in every season we walk through, there is an opportunity to learn. An opportunity that will not come our way again. The past few months have been such a time for me. I once heard someone say, “trials do not harden our hearts and make us bitter, they simply...

I have one more thing I want to share with you about my weekend and the lessons I was privileged to learn or be reminded of. I shared how in the midst of troubling news, my friend chose to worship God instead of allowing fear to overtake her. Of course,...

God often teaches me the greatest lessons during life – what I mean by that is if I simply pay attention as I walk through different situations – I will learn lessons that last me a lifetime. I am going to share one of those with you today. As I...

There is a scripture that has been on my mind all night long – and even into today, as I write this. It is found in the book of Isaiah. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. (Is 55:6) I have been...

I don’t do this very often, sharing a word from someone else; however, I feel there are many of you who are not currently walking in peace. I loved this word from Lana Vawser. I am one of those who has fought to hold on to peace. I took this...

Recently, I was studying the book of Acts. It always amazes me that the outpouring of God was still going strong two years later, as we find in Acts 2. I began to think about how the people of God kept their passion for God and His works burning strong...

Lately, I have been hearing a lot of preaching/ teaching about the words of our mouth. This is nothing new to me. Brother Norvel Hayes constantly taught us that life and death is in the power of the tongue. For this reason, my daughter and I are always shocked when...

Today I was reminded of a day when my morning time with God changed drastically. Before that day, it had been routine. I would go into my prayer room and pray in the spirit for a few minutes. Then I would declare scriptural confessions. I prayed over my family, my...

It was New Year’s Eve, and I woke early to make some homemade bread to take communion that night. As I began to gather my ingredients, my mind went back to several years ago when I first began to try to make bread. One night God gave me a dream....

One day I was riding through a nearby town with a friend, when a huge sign on the side of a building caught my eye. I questioned my friend about it and she responded, “Yes, it’s been there for a while.” I couldn’t get it off my mind – it...

I was listening to a message one day when I heard the man say this. He said, “Say this, “It is NOT my thought, it is only a voice.” That day it made perfect sense to me because I had some very negative things running through my mind. I initially...

I would dare say all of us desire to walk in the promises of God. All of us want to see signs, miracles and wonders. We all want to prosper and be in health. And, we all want to make it to heaven when we leave this earth. I can’t...

One day I was talking with a friend about some things I was walking through. She made a statement to me that was so profound. We were talking about Job. She said, when Job’s friends questioned as to why this could be happening to him, God didn’t answer the why....

Today, I want you to stop and think about what you are thinking about. What is consuming your thoughts? Perhaps you find yourself in a battle of sorts. Maybe over health, or finances, or family issues. If so, what do you think about most of the time? I have said...

As I strolled through the hall of my home one bright morning, my mind was filled with thoughts of the New Year that is here. Suddenly, a clear and gentle voice pierced the stillness—interrupting my thoughts. The Lord spoke five words that resonated deeply: “It’s time for the new.” In...

This time of year, causes me to look back and reflect. That’s just what I have been doing this week. I have been reflecting on the second Christmas after we buried Jesse and then Tanya. It was the holidays; my grandchildren were so excited. Me, I could not shake the...

I had a dream Saturday night. It was a quick dream, perhaps no longer than a few minutes. Even with the shortness of it, it spoke volumes to me. In my dream, I was riding in the vehicle with Breanne, my daughter. In the back seat were my grandkids, Bryson...

Today I began to think about something that happened a few years ago when we were renovating my home. It was a Saturday night, while I was getting ready for bed, my thought was, “I have never been more exhausted in my life.” Breanne, her husband, Brandon and I had...

A slower pace sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? However, to most people it also seems impossible. For most of us, slowing down doesn’t appear to be on the horizon. Yet, that is what I feel God is saying to someone today; Slow down We live in a fast-paced world. Fast vehicles,...

For several years, I leased my home. If something needed repair, large or small, I simply called the landlord, and he came right over and fixed it. It was nice. I didn’t have to be concerned about anything. It’s different as a homeowner. A couple weeks ago I noticed the...

A few years ago, my grandson, Bryson and his Mom learned to play guitar. It has been quite enjoyable for me, especially during the holiday season. Almost daily I would get to hear acoustic Christmas music. It has caused me to think a little deeper about the words to the...

And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a...

Luke 2:7 is a very familiar story, especially at this time of year. Scripture says it this way, “While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in...

I can hardly believe we are in December! It seems impossible that Christmas is almost here, but here we are. I love this time of year. I love Christmas, and I love giving—not just at Christmas, but throughout the year. While I know Christmas is not solely about giving, in...

In Genesis 1, we read; So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the...

He prepares me for battle; he strengthens me to draw a bow of bronze.  Psalm 18:34 In the past few days I have thought about a story a friend once told me about the Winchester Rifle, and when it was first invented. She shared with me how, the military had...

Sometimes kids amaze me. Especially when they throw the words you have been trying to teach them back at you. The other day, Breanne and I, were having a conversation about work. I made the following statement… “If we are going to do this project, we should do it now....

When I awoke this morning, the first words I heard were…blessed to be a blessing. In Genesis 12:2, God told Abraham that He was going to bless him abundantly. He went on to say that Abraham would, in turn, be a blessing to others. I love how the Amplified Bible...

I could feel it in my spirit. I could sense it in the atmosphere…this day would be an important day. I had felt it for weeks, somehow I knew, getting past this day was going to be important in my walk with God. One would imagine, based on the feelings...

One past Christmas season, Kelita sent me pictures of her Christmas decorations. I fell in love with her wonderful display of vintage pinecones ornaments. I told her how lovely I thought they were. Not too long after that, she sent me a beautiful green, vintage pinecone that year, to start...

I have heard this in my spirit for weeks, “Nothing is impossible with God.” Not only have I been hearing this from God, but numerous prophetic words are declaring the same thing. The best part is it comes straight from the word of God. It IS His promise to us...

Pressure. We all experience it in one form or another, sometimes, daily. It may come from family issues, work deadlines, finances, kids, or many other life challenges. The weight of these things may at times feel like more than we can bear, yet God promises His grace is sufficient for...

I love the Christmas season! I always have. One of the reasons has always been because it has a different atmosphere…you could almost feel love in the air. I don’t know if it’s because of all the chaos and division in our world today – but I must say, I...

I recently read a word by Russ & Kitty Walden concerning debt freedom and prosperity. While I am not sharing the entire word, I want to share portions of it by creating a declaration for you to declare and pray over the next few months. Or until you see the...

I once read a word by Bill Burns that the Lord led me back to this week and I want to share it with you.  It said, “Listen, My people. Listen. I am shouting from the roof tops; this is the season of great joy. And, great joy I will...

I once read a word by Bill Burns that the Lord led me back to this week and I want to share it with you.  It said, “Listen, My people. Listen. I am shouting from the roof tops; this is the season of great joy. And, great joy I will...

This time of year, causes me to look back and reflect. That’s just what I have been doing this week. I have been reflecting on the second Christmas after we buried Jesse and then Tanya. It was the holidays; my grandchildren were so excited. Me, I could not shake the...

Some days the precision and timing of God amaze me. Although it was several years ago now, I remember this day as if it were yesterday. Breanne and I decided to drive to Cleveland for the day. We both needed a day off – so we made plans to have...

…so that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. (Matt 18:16) I thought of this scripture as I once again read a prophetic word that said God was not finished with this year. God always confirms His word. At least, that is my experience....

Although it has been a few weeks, I am still pondering on tipping points – as God continues to bring this subject to mind. One definition of a tipping point is; as the point at which an issue, idea, product, etc., crosses a certain threshold and gains significant momentum, triggered...

I once read an article that reminded me of the power of praying in tongues. That article has come to mind many times recently. The article was not by a minister; it was by a mother. It was on Good Morning America. The article told about a Mom who heard...

Do you want the world we are seeing today to change? I know I do. But I can tell you this, unless we change, it will not change. Day after day I am hearing Christians say these types of things over and over… “The world has gone crazy; people have...

I don't know about you - but God often reminds me of the same things over and again. I assume He will continue doing that until it becomes second nature to me. For that, I am thankful. Recently I was praying about a personal need. After several days of praying...the...

This week I have been thinking about something God once told me. I was walking on the beach in Boca Grande, Florida. My absolute favorite place to be. Perhaps it is so precious to me because it is often years between my visits. Nevertheless, it remains my favorite place to...

A few days ago, I shared a prophetic word God had given me many years ago. I also shared how to increase your capacity to receive. While all that is true – that night God reminded me of something that played a vital role in that season. That night, after...

With Thanksgiving coming up, gratitude has been on my mind. The Bible talks about a thankful heart and gratitude quite often. God expects us to have a heart of gratitude, not one of complaining. The other day I read something that said; Every time you complain you’re agreeing with the...

One night while trying to sleep, a phrase came to mind. It was, “Life is not a chore, it is something to be enjoyed every day.” Many people go through life as if it were a chore. They don’t look forward to the day. They just want to get through...

This morning God reminded me of a prophetic word I received over thirty years ago. While that word was vital in the season it was given, it didn’t stop there. It has become a principle God has used in my life over and again. The word was: “God is taking...

Alignment; an arrangement in a straight line, a position of agreement or alliance.  I have had the word alignment on my mind for a few weeks now. Every few days, I will hear this still, quiet voice saying to me, “alignment is vital.” As we know, if our vehicles are...

This week I shared with you a writing about my friend,Marsha’s, vision of dancing with the Lord. Today, I want to share another writing with you about a different dance. “There’s something in the dance, Kim.” These were words a friend spoke to me this week after I shared a...

Last week, I was listening to a teaching when I heard a scripture that captured my spirit. The scripture is found in Numbers 27:7; The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right. You shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers and cause the inheritance of...

Just this week, a friend, actually, the friend in this story, reminded me of this writing. I could not get it off my mind and felt led of the Lord to share it with you today. I pray it is a blessing to you. On Friday night I was sitting...

A victorious life, it’s what we all strive for, right? Over the weekend an email from a partner came to mind as I was thinking about victorious living. Nothing blesses me more than hearing that our readers have been blessed or their lives have been changed by one of our...

What do others see in you? These words were coming to me from several different sources, even my granddaughter, Brailee, who was just nine years old at the time. However, it wasn’t until I shared it with a friend that it impacted me in a powerful way. After telling her...

Recently, someone shared an online post with me. I do not know the author of the post as it was only shared with me, I apologize for that. But it is so powerful that I wanted to share it with you today. Perhaps, you are feeling tired today. If so,...

One day, I had an experience with God that was possibly the strangest way God has ever spoken to me. Before this happened, I had spent several days in the presence of the Lord, seeking His face, seeking His presence, and seeking His direction for some upcoming plans for the...

“God knows my heart.” This is often the response we give when we say or do something wrong. Especially when we know it was wrong. We say… “well, God knows my heart.” I heard this statement the other day after speaking with someone about thoughtless words they had spoken in...

“You can’t be pitiful and powerful at the same time!” I heard Joyce Meyer say those words many years ago. And they are the words that came back to me this morning as I was praying for someone. You cannot be pitiful and powerful at the same time – you...

I was sitting at my desk working one day when I received a text from a friend. The text said, “award winning chili simmering on the stove.” I had to laugh. As I laughed, I thought to myself, “Deborah took my recipe, entered it into a contest, won the ribbon...

Over the past few weeks, I have found myself reflecting on the topic of anger with increasing frequency. It has become apparent to me that anger seems to be a prevalent force in our society today, affecting countless individuals in various ways. During this period of contemplation, I have noticed...

Many of you may recall the dreams I shared with you in the past. In those dreams, God revealed to me a home that was not ordinary, but extraordinary—a place overflowing with treasures. Room after room, each space was filled with an abundance of beautiful and valuable items. Every corner...

Many of us have ministers and leaders that we admire. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It reminds me of the scripture that says, follow me as I follow Christ. (1 Cor. 11:1) That being said, just as many of us think we can never reach their level. That...

Every now and then we get an offering with a note that says, I know this is a small offering. Or, I know this isn’t much. I don’t like that the enemy makes our partners feel that way. Mainly because it is not true. God must have something to work...

There is a building at the bottom of a hill near my daughter, Breanne’s road. This building has been there for as long as I can remember. It has always been an eye sore. It was one of, if not the most, junky looking buildings in our town. Numerous businesses...

In this fast-paced world we live in today, waiting has become increasingly difficult. People are accustomed to instant results and immediate responses, and the idea of pausing or delaying action often feels uncomfortable and inconvenient. The desire for everything to happen quickly can make it challenging to accept the concept...

I was listening to a preacher one weekend not too long ago. He was talking about when the iron curtain fell. He shared how the year before the fall of this wall, there were prophetic voices all over the world prophesying that the wall was about to fall. He shared...

I was thinking about people of faith the other day. I was thinking about how it was when I was first born again, it has been over 30 years. Back in those days, faith was taught everywhere. At least every place I was involved. I heard faith, faith, and more...

“We have reached our tipping point!” Those are the words that went off in my spirit when I read a text from a friend one Sunday. Her text said, I just heard; “our prayers are going to start paying off.” My first thought was, “that is a good word.” Yet,...

This morning, while checking messages, I listened to one of our partners share with me that she had been emailing me to let me know she was in the hospital. I did not receive the email. I quickly called her and prayed with her over the phone. As I hung...

This morning, I want to share a word from my friend, Karen Hardin, I know it will bless you…it certainly did me. There are seasons in our lives where it can feel as if we are slogging through thick mud. Every step takes enormous energy, and it feels as if...

The Bible never ceases to amaze me. I can’t count how many times I have read through my Bible, yet each time I pick it up, I read something new. If you don’t read your Bible daily, you are really missing something. Listening to preaching is good. But there is...

I recently shared with you the importance of the words of our mouth and their creative ability. While I believe this is very true, I want to take some time to explore this concept more deeply. The words we speak have power, and understanding their significance is essential for living...

This afternoon, the Lord brought back to my mind a meaningful experience from several years ago. He spoke three simple words to me: “Seize the moments.” Even though time has passed, the memory is vivid, as if it happened just yesterday. It was early in the evening, and my daughter...

Proverbs 22:6 says, Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it. I have always loved the wisdom found in Proverbs 22:6, striving to embody its teaching in front of my grandchildren. There was a memorable day when...

Today, I saw a little lost dog in the middle of the road. Instantly, my thoughts traveled back to a previous day when we encountered another little lost dog. That experience left a profound impression on me, as it became a moment when God taught me an important lesson. The...

Last week, I shared some thoughts on the word shalom, exploring its significance and meaning. During my study, I encountered another passage where Jesus used the phrase, “Peace, be still.” This well-known story can be found in Mark 4:39. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the...

One of my favorite words from the Bible is shalom. I have cherished this word for many years, primarily because of its profound meaning and significance. We encounter the word shalom in several passages throughout the Bible. Each time it appears, it carries with it a depth of meaning that...

Over the past couple of weeks, I have sensed the Holy Spirit guiding me and reminding me of how valuable and necessary consistency is in our daily lives. This message keeps coming to me: “Consistency is key!” Consistency is not just essential for our spiritual growth, but it is also...

As we look around the world, there is a clear indication that revival meetings are beginning to emerge in various places. This surge is not just coincidental; it points to the realization that we are entering a new moment in God’s timing. I am convinced that we have once again...

I had a dream recently—one that I immediately sensed was from God as soon as I woke up. Despite this certainty, the dream didn’t make sense to me at first. I realized I hadn’t yet received the full revelation or understanding of its message. A few hours into my day,...

This morning after thinking about the many prayer requests I have had lately and how people are becoming weary in their faith – I was reminded of a scripture from the Old Testament. We live in a world where a lot of people are very self-centered and “it’s all about...

Recently, I have come across a writing I did several years ago when God first began to talk to me about the power of a spoken blessing. I want to share some of those insights with you today. In the Bible we see where men often spoke a particular blessing...

In the New Testament, Jesus speaks about mountains, revealing both their literal and symbolic significance for believers. Mountains in Scripture are not just physical features of the landscape; they also serve as metaphors for the obstacles and challenges we encounter in life. Each person's "mountain" may look different—what you face...

Today I want to share with you the importance of partaking of communion. It is a subject I have written on often. I feel God is telling me to share it once again. I highly encourage you to make it a part of your week, if not your day. I...

In the past couple weeks, I have received numerous emails and texts from friends and partners concerning seasons they are in. Many are beyond weary.  I can fully understand that. This season has been heavy and challenging for many people – especially those who have determined to seek God, no...

On a recent Sunday night, I attended a women’s conference with a friend. On the way back, our conversations revolved around the mighty things we’ve have seen God do. It was a riveting time of sharing the amazing power of God. Something about those types of conversations ignites faith in...

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 scripture and many of us realize the importance of the words that come out of our mouth. However,...

Recently, we talked about Kingdom thinking and how it can affect generations to come. As I continued to ponder on that truth, I read some passages in the Bible that teaches us other things we pass down to our children – negative things. In Genesis 12:10-13, we find an interesting...

One morning this week, I awoke and the first thought in my mind was a statement I had heard many years ago from a minister. The statement was, “Don’t leave battles for your children to fight.” A couple hours later, I came across a short article about Kingdom thinking. I...

A word of caution by: Travis Hayes (After the events of last week across our nation, plus the things going on in personal lives, I felt this was a good message – one that needed to be shared) In the last couple of days, we have been bombarded with images...

A man of God once asked Smith Wigglesworth a question. “How do you wake up in the morning?” in other words, “How do you begin your day?”  Why is that important? Because how you begin a thing matters. If you begin your day rushing around, anxious and in a hurry,...

Pride is a subject we seldom hear taught about in church these days. However, presently, I am seeing God work on this attitude in many of those around me. Just this week, Breanne and I were talking. She said to me; “I believe I have walked through this season to...

I read something the other day that said, “A seed sown in good ground, doesn’t struggle to produce a tree, it simply does what it were designed to do by God, it will produce what the seed was sown for.” Isn’t that good news!?! When we sow seeds of the...

This summer has been hard. There is no way around it. What I thought was going to be a few weeks off work with time to refresh and renew has been a time of one challenge after another – one loss after another. So what do you do with that?...

God often speaks to me through things of nature. There are certain things in nature that if I need to hear from God, he will show me these things. One of those things is rainbows. I love them. They always remind me of the faithfulness of God and the truth...

One day last week, it was 3am and I was trying to sleep but something was keeping me awake. Finally, I sat up and prayed, asking God “What is it you are trying to tell me or show me?” He did not disappoint. He began to deal with me about...

Over the past few months, there is a subject God has brought up to me over and again. The subject is, a strong spirit. After weeks of God speaking to me about building a strong spirit within me, it seemed everywhere I turned someone was saying something about a strong...

Silence is not new to me. I am very comfortable in silence. Many are not – many need noise to feel at peace. Not so with me. However, lately, the silence is much greater and deeper. I have come to believe it is a spiritual thing. After completing a time...

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. (Prov 10:22) This is another scripture that has reverberated in my spirit for the past month. We know the blessing of the Lord makes one rich, but we don’t always remember that He adds no...

As with most folks, there are many things I am praying about this month, even this week. There are times in our life when it seems we are bombarded with prayer requests. There are times when it seems one thing happens after the other and we are trying to keep...

I was listening to Pastor Bill Winston this morning, when I heard him make this statement… “somewhere that you are not.” As my day progressed, I could not get this statement off my mind, somewhere that you are not. I began to ponder this idea of being somewhere that you...

Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done. Proverbs 19:17 (NIV) I want to share a day in our life that happened a few years ago. God reminded me of it today and it always brings me to...

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. (NLT) This is the scripture that came to mind on day, several years ago, as the principal of Brailee’s...

This morning, as I drove to work, the Lord reminded me of something He taught me a couple years ago. I knew I had written about it before. I also knew He was telling me to revisit it. I want to share it with you today, as I feel some...

Have you ever had a day or a situation occur when you decided, I AM DONE WITH THIS, I AM NOT TAKING IT ANOTHER MOMENT!? I know I have. Actually, I had one of those this week. When I have moments like that, I am always reminded of the scripture...

I never tire of the things God teaches me and reminds me of during planting season. One day, a few months ago, I was preparing some Kennebec potatoes to put in the garden. I was sitting down, cutting them in quarters or halves, making sure there were several eyes present...

Jerry Savelle had a saying that I love… “every day is a blessing day!” This is what came to mind as I thought about a time Bre and I were looking for a vehicle. Allow me to explain. That day, we really had no idea which direction to go and...

Have you ever had one of those days when things were going wrong one after another? Or where those around you are facing challenges and were bringing those frustrations to you? I think we have all had days like that. I know I have. Just a few days ago I...

It is during the darkest moments of our life that we must shift our focus to clearly see the light. I thought of this today as my daughter shared an insightful truth with me. My daughter battles anxiety at times. When driving, there are some long bridges over deep waters...

This morning as I was walking into the prayer room to record the weekly audio partner prayer, my mind was going over all the things I needed to get done this week. As I was thinking about what I needed to get done on Monday, the Lord arrested my thoughts....

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and...

Several years ago, I was on the phone, sharing with my friend Vicki, about my Mom’s upcoming wedding. My Mom, who was 77 years young at the time, was getting married. She had been a single mom for more than forty years. I was telling Vicki how happy my Mom...

Have you ever been given a word from God that you didn’t want to hear? I have. Even though I didn’t want to hear them, I knew they were straight from God. When I think of this truth, I think about Moses. Remember when God told him to go to...

It was Saturday morning; I was driving to my office to catch up on some work. Music was playing on my media player. As one song came to an end and another began to play, it captured my attention. It was a song I have listened to many times, but...

I once read a word that was quite profound. One I believe relates to many seasons in our life. The word was… The enemy has been and is attacking the very area God is breathing upon in your life. So be encouraged that great increase and fruitfulness is being released...

Today, God reminded me of a dream I once had. I believe that dream is for THIS season. In the dream, my daughter, her family and I were traveling to a certain destination. I assumed it was an adventure of sorts because we weren’t traveling on highways, instead we traveled...

I was reading an email from one of our partners today about what they had gone through the past several years; it was a great deal of loss and pain. As I continued to read, I began to feel like the Lord spoke a phrase to me about how this...

Yesterday as I was visiting with a friend when the Lord began to show me some things about this season we are in. Excitedly, I said to this friend, “There are no limits here, only in our mind.” She replied, “That's why we are to have faith like a child,...

Yesterday was a busy day for me. I got up early, made some food to take to my cousin who is in the hospital. Once that was prepared, I loaded my vehicle and headed out to do my errands, plugging in my phone as I went so I could listen...

So that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Matthew 18:16 From my experience, God always confirms His Word. He will often tell me the same thing over and again through several different people, until He gets my attention. When He does that, it is...

In recent years, many of us have learned to stop speaking negative words over our lives, our children, our bodies, and our finances. That is a good thing! But are we also consistently speaking blessings over these same things? It’s not enough to stop speaking negative words. If our desire...

I once heard someone say that insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Often we say we want things to change in our lives yet we continue to do the same things we have always done, over and over. Of course, we continue to...

In the month of June, I taught on Worship for four weeks at our church. Those times birthed something in me that seems to grow deeper day by day. It is a desire to once again spend my days with God. While it sounds wonderful and it is, it makes...

Not too long ago I read something online that I felt was not only powerful, but timely. It seems lately, the Lord is cautioning me about who I allow to lay hands on me and those I invite into my inner circle. There are people who will simply drain the...

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (2 Cor 9:6-8) I was meditating on this familiar verse when a thought came to me… “I wonder if I am a generous giver?” More importantly… I wonder if GOD would consider me...

The word process is defined as; a series of actions that you take in order to achieve an end result. I don’t know about you, but I like the suddenly of God more than the process. Yet, over the past few weeks, God has led me to scripture after scripture...

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, however, I love to buy a piece of silver that is tarnished. I know it sounds odd, but...

Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Let's look at a few of these words. First of all, the word, thoughts, is defined as the plans...

It was early one morning; I was preparing to partake of my communion meal. As I went to place my elements on my table, the Lord spoke to me and said, “He will guide you into all truth.” I knew the scripture He was speaking of. It is found in...

I love when God speaks life-changing words, during a normal conversation. Several years ago, I was having a phone conversation with a friend. She was talking to me about where she and her husband are, spiritually speaking. She shared with me how she had said to her husband, “we have...

As I stepped into the sanctuary, I encountered the tangible presence of God. Something was very different. Although the service didn’t start for another half hour, the tangible presence of the Lord greeted me as I entered the room. The place was heavy with His presence. In silence I sat...

A firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone. This is the dictionary definition of the word, trust. In the Strong’s Concordance, trust is defined as to have confidence in, to be secure, to feel safe, and to have no care. Lately, I have been compelled to...

Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin…enjoy! I felt strongly that this week we needed to pray regarding the financial struggle many are facing both personally as well as our national debt. Debt is debilitating. So is lack. Anyone who has had to...

Have you ever heard a single word from God that stopped you in your tracks and lit you up at the same time? I heard such a word several months ago. Today, God brought that word back to my remembrance. Could it be that it is for such a time...

The ten-hour drive seemed to wash away as I stepped from my vehicle and the atmosphere of the city engulfed me. The very air was electric with faith, a tangible faith that one could feel. I had never experienced anything like it before. That day was life-changing for me. I...

This morning, I was reminded of something God once said to me. At the time, those four words made no sense to me. The words were, “Let this season end.” The emphasis was on the word let. I thought it was odd that He was telling me to let it happen, The word let is...

It was late afternoon, as I drove up the highway, heading home. My attention was captured by the impending weather change. With a glance upward, I observed the rolling fog, slowly ebbing down the mountains before me. “It’s going to be a foggy morning tomorrow,” I shared with my daughter....

As I concluded my teaching at the church on worship, a friend approached me and shared what the Lord had said to her. “We are not prepared to receive the outpouring God has planned for us.” He said. Those words took me back to another time a couple decades ago...

I want to share another interesting thing about eagles. In my study, I discovered, they have two sets of eyes. The first set is their natural eyes, which they use anytime they are in resting mode. These are the eyes they use most often. However, when they start to take...

In continuing my research on eagles, I want to share another characteristic of the eagle with you today. If you have ever seen an eagle fly, you know they fly without flapping their wings. They don’t flap; they soar. Eagles are born with large and heavy wings. Part of their...

Recently, I have been teaching a series at a local church on the subject of worship. The first night I taught, God brought a couple people who I hadn’t seen in many years to the meeting. I was surprised and very happy to see them. Since there was more than...

I was studying a couple weeks ago and heard this; To manifest a promise, faith needs three things. What could faith need? It needs a seed. It needs confession and it needs action. Let’s look first at the seed. Luke 8:11 says; the seed is the Word of God. Many...

One night as I was trying to go to sleep, one scripture kept going through my mind over and over.  This scripture is found in Isaiah 55:10-12 - the part of it that kept running through my mind was, My word will not return void.  I simply could not get...

I once read a story that was so good it has stuck with me for several years. Today, it again came to mind. As the story was told, a pilot was in the midst of his flight for the day when he saw something that terrified him.  Out of the...

I once read a story that was so good it has stuck with me for several years. Today, it again came to mind. As the story was told, a pilot was in the midst of his flight for the day when he saw something that terrified him.  Out of the...

Recently, the Lord has been reminding me of a foundational scripture. Before I share that scripture, I want to share the scripture He is using to take me there. Every so often, God will speak a scripture to me from the Old Testament, found in Jeremiah 6:16. Thus says the Lord:...

I recently read an article about a Peace Offering. I am very interested in the Old Testament and in the symbolism of that testament. Since I read the article, each day at some point, a peace offering would come to mind, therefore I decided to re-read the article and study...

One morning a few years ago, I arrived at work with a black eye. As I looked at it in the mirror that morning, trying, but failing, to cover it up - I had to smile. You see, I didn't fall, no one hit me, at least not on purpose....

This morning, as I awoke, the first thing I heard was a scripture; it is found in Isaiah 60, which says, “Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” As I meditated on this scripture, excitement began to build. I...

We all want to prosper, yet most of us would say there are areas in our life where we are not seeing prosperity. As a ministry, many of our prayer requests we receive are for prosperity, either in finances or the physical body. Last week, I was spending some time...

It is said, anything we do online, on social media leaves a footprint. I wonder if we realize each and every day, we do this. We leave a footprint. This thought ran through my mind as I saw a post on Facebook last week. I don’t get on Facebook often...

Over the years I have shared stories with you about my grandchildren, Bryson and Brailee. Often God speaks to me through these two. I am so thankful when God does this. Many times, like the instance I am sharing with you today, it catches me off guard. Bryson is a...

I knew what I needed; I had felt it all day long. Still, the day was busy, there were people all around. When I was finally alone, the phone kept ringing. It seemed to be one thing after another that had to be dealt with. I was becoming desperate –...

Something the Lord once spoke to me came to mind today. “A voice of maturity” – I remember the day the Lord taught me about this. We have all been there, at least I know I have. We are believing God for something and become frustrated in the wait. We...

I was walking down the hallway, getting ready for work, thinking about a message I once heard. It was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. The minister shared that this year we stepped into a new place in God. He went on to share how God...

Taking a deep breath, I absorbed the words the Holy Spirit was speaking to my heart. Peace washed over as I heard this familiar phrase. “Eyes on me.” I remember the first time I heard these words. I was watching a movie about a teacher whose students weren’t listening. Snaping...

This morning, I was thinking about my Aunt Sherry who just went to be with the Lord. I began to think about all the life lessons I learned from her over the years. We were close, we spent a lot of time together and each time, she taught me something...

One night while Bre, my daughter, was at my home, she received a call from Bryson, her son. After the call, she quickly left. I didn’t know what the issue was, only that it involved a bird. The following day, I asked Bryson what happened. Here’s his story. The night...

A couple months ago, my daughter and I were having a conversation when she made a statement that stuck with me. She shared with me that her husband has said, “I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then you would realize you are beautiful, just the way you...

My sister shared a story with me recently that was quite profound. At least the message I got out of it was. Her daughter, my niece, just completed her second year of college. She hopes to go on to medical school after the four years at this school. In taking...

It was early morning. I was grumbling as I swept cat hair off the rug on my back porch. My mind went back to the first time I saw this stray cat. He unfortunately showed up on my porch while my grandkids were visiting. They were both saying, “Nana, it’s...

“Don’t you realize, you are now eating the harvest from the seeds you sowed last season?” This is something God once spoke to me… It was last year when God began to speak with me about a scripture found in Deuteronomy 8:18, “But you shall remember the LORD your God,...

Today, I thought about a conversation I once had with my grandson, about what he wanted to do when he grew up. Without hesitation, he said, “I want to work in the field of space, even if I have to be a janitor.” “A janitor?” I questioned. He said, “Yes,...

Sometimes I can’t help but think of how awesome our God is and what He miraculously does with what we seem is little or not enough. We are all familiar with the story of David and Goliath. All the soldiers were afraid and intimidated by Goliath – no one wanted...

Peter Wagner once said…“God’s purpose may be thwarted or it may be accomplished depending, to one degree or another, on the obedience of His people and their willingness to use the weapons of spiritual warfare that He has provided. God is powerful enough to win any battle, but He has...

I want to share a story with you from several years ago. I may have shared it in the past, if so, perhaps you need a gentle reminder…I know I did. Bryson, who is now 18, was 2 at the time. I had told my daughter I would babysit him...

Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the Lord with your possession and the first fruits of all your increase, so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.”  The way we give our offerings to God is important. What portion we give to Him is...

While watching an old western one day, I heard a statement that impacted my thoughts. In the movie, they were reading the last will and testament of a man who had just died. He made a profound statement in his will. He said, “my end was not what I hoped,...

This question has been on my mind a lot today. You may recall, several years ago now, this question was on everything. T-shirts, bags, posters, everywhere we looked we saw the question, “what would Jesus do?” I was talking with a friend about some things in her life today. She...

I knew it was true when I heard it. Oh, boy! Did I need to listen to it! With a weary heart, I was turning in early for the night. Just as I crawled into bed, a friend from Ohio called. She proceeded to share with me a conversation she...

Perceive is defined as; interpret or look on (someone or something) in a particular way; regard as. Often the way we perceive or view a thing will determine the outcome. We see this in the story of the 12 spies. Two spies saw victory. The other ten only saw defeat,...

God speaks to His people in many different ways. We see this truth throughout the Bible. God also speaks to different people in different ways. For me, there are particular scriptures He speaks to me to direct me. He also speaks to me through many things in our natural world....

Today, I want to share an article from my friend, Karen Hardin, with you. It will uplift and encourage you! Kim Potter The Bible instructs us not to grow weary in doing what He has called us to do. It is followed by the encouragement that in due season we...

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23 This verse teaches us that we...

I am sometimes asked to go to my daughter’s house and organize. It’s something I am good at. Therefore, she calls Mom when she needs a room organized and doesn’t know where to start. The last time she made this call was a few years ago when Bryson was at...

I came across a scripture last evening that captured my heart. I have read it many times before, but today, it arrested my thoughts. Unless Your law had been my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction. I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have given me...

No, that is not a misprint. I heard this statement last week, and it caught my attention. Let me share with you the context in which it was spoken. A minister was talking about God, and he said, “When you declare war on God’s people, you declare war on God.”...

And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. (I Ki 19:12) I want to share a couple of things with you this morning. First of all, God recently reminded me of a book by Judy Jacobs...

Many years ago, a woman walked up to me in church and whispered in my ear, “Kim, when you feel you are winning the battle, when you begin to see a breakthrough, DO NOT LAY DOWN YOUR SWORD.” Although it was many years ago, I remember those words as if...

Although 2020 is far behind us, it seems some of the effects of it remain. People continue to deal with long term health issues. There remains more anxiety and fear than I ever saw before that year – prices are still crazy high for most things and taxes continue to...

Could it be that a shift has taken place in the Spirit, and it is time to lengthen your stride? Could it be? This morning when I awoke, something was different. I knew there had been a shift in the Spirit, and then the Lord reminded me of something that...

Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls.” (Jer 6:16) This is one of my favorite scriptures and one I think of often. Today I...

Sometimes, I feel that God speaks to me in the most unusual ways. I can always tell when it is Him or when it is the Spirit of God because it stirs an immediate reaction within me. The message resonates deeply in my spirit as a truth that I can...

Saturday night I dreamed all night long. It was an odd night, I felt half-asleep yet very alert all through the night. In this state of half in and half out, I continued to dream, the same dream, yet different, over and over. I dreamed of harvest time. In each...

Recently, I have had a scripture on my mind… “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted.” (Jn 15:7 NLT) While many of us are familiar with this scripture, I wonder if we have...

There are some lessons God has taught me that return to my mind over and again. In word and deed is one of those lessons. I hear those words and know exactly what God is talking about and what to do. I think of it each month when I receive...

If you have been with our ministry for a very long time, you may remember this. I once received a prophetic word that was the oddest thing to me. The word was… “God is taking you into a place of intimacy with Him. God has great things for you, but...

3 John 2 says, Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. While this sounds great, it is not so easy for most people. For many people, it’s not so easy to imagine a prospering soul. A prospering mind or thought...

For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity. Acts 8:23 The other day, I received an email from one of our readers. She was believing God for several miracles: healing, financial blessing, and more. She is a strong woman of God, and it is hard...

Recently, I have been studying the concept of soul prosperity. Over the weekend, as I studied this subject, I heard a statement. It was said, “Complaining reveals we are losing the battle over our thoughts.” Complaining is the evidence you are losing the battle over your thoughts or over your...

It has been many months since I had a dream from the Lord. Therefore, when God gave me a dream on Friday morning, I was filled with excitement. My dream was brief, yet vivid and colorful. In my dream, I was at my home, walking outside with my Mom. We...

A scripture came to mind as I hung up the phone. It is found in Psalm 37:4. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. The Amplified says it like this: Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the...

I don’t know how the weather has been in your area, but where I live, we have had tremendous winds for the past few weeks. I can’t think of winds without thinking breakthrough – I don’t know why – it’s just something God spoke to me many years ago. I...

After preparing yesterday’s writing, I have been praising God more and more. As I do, there are some significant things I have noticed. I want to share them with you today. I spend quite a bit of time in prayer, it is a priority in my life. It always will...

For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Hebrews 4:10 One of the most challenging things many believers face is entering into and remaining in the rest of God. If you have ever experienced the rest of God, you will...

In days past, I have been present at different prayer groups where people would pray and then say, “Lord, if it be thy will.”  In other words, they asked God for something and ended the prayer with if it by thy will, not fully knowing the will of God for...

Hebrews 12:1 says, Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. I was thinking about this...

I have been meditating on this scripture for a few weeks. It is found in Luke 8:44-46. She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are...

Early one morning, I was awakened by the sound of a text message on my phone. When I picked it up and looked at the message, I realized it was a scripture sent by a friend. Little did my friend know that her timely text was the answer to the...

Today, I want to share with you a dream I once had. It had been quite some time since I felt I had a dream from the Lord, this was such a dream. I dreamed I was with my Mom. We went to this place to visit my uncles. My...

One morning, I was driving to run errands and fill up with gas. As I went, I looked down at my gas hand, noting it was empty. Breanne had driven it home the night before, and we should have stopped and got gas, but it was late, so we didn’t....

Friday is our day off. It is usually a day of rest and spending time with God, at least for me. This past Friday was different. So much has been going on with moving into a bigger office so we can expand. During the process, nothing has worked out the...

There is a testimony I heard many years ago that I love revisiting time and again. I first read it in a book by Kenneth E. Hagin. In the book he tells a story of a woman he once met who had been believing God for healing. This woman had...

I was spending some quiet time with God in worship over the weekend when God brought a person to mind. I don’t know them personally, but they were praise and worship leaders I used to listen to daily over twenty years ago. I had stopped listening to them when I...

Today, I want to share a testimony from one of our readers in response to last weeks writing. I hope it encourages you – it certainly encouraged me. Really enjoyed today's message! Allow me to share one of my own experiences with God’s sovereignty and His all-powerful specific control of the...

Over the past few weeks, I have been interacting with someone who has obvious deep seated anger. I am not sure what the root cause of the anger is, but it is coloring every area of their life as well as their conversations. As I was praying for this person,...

Last week, when I was preparing the audio prayer to go out to our financial partners, there was a different anointing on that particular prayer…it felt as if God was compelling me to declare a time of blessings over our partners in a new way.  I completed the prayer and...

Numerous times this week, a scripture has come to mind. It is found in Psalm 37:23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. I was having a conversation with a close friend. She was sharing with me her feelings about...

It’s that time of year… when we begin planting seeds to get a jump start on gardening. In preparation for this, I purchased some herb seed to plant, some for me, and some for Breanne. She too wanted fresh herbs. One day I gathered up all my supplies, dirt, seeds,...

This morning I came across a post I had shared with friends on facebook back in 2015. Remember it was several years ago, when my grandchildren were small. I had forgotten about this day and I am so thankful I was reminded. I want to share it with you today…...

And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. (Deut 8:18) Over the weekend, I was meditating on this scripture and asked God...

This past Sunday, I did a short teaching on one of my favorite scriptures concerning communion. It comes from a verse I discovered many years ago. In Revelations 2:1-4, the Bible says. To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, These things says He who holds the seven stars in His...

Today, I want to share a word with you from Lana Vawser that someone sent to me a few days ago – I believe it may minister to someone today…. HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘TAKE BACK THE NIGHT HOURS’ Lana Vawser Recently, I heard the Lord say, ‘Take back the...

Over the weekend, I read something from Bill Yount that I one hundred percent agree with. He said, “I sense the Lord saying, "I would promote My people more if it didn't take them away from Me. Stay below the radar." I know this to be true from experience. I...

“Kim, do you think a stopped up well is the same as a dry well?  Will it have the same results?” God gently whispered to me one day. I thought about it for a moment and then replied: “Yes, both will hinder the flow of water.” “That is correct; your...

And he shall speak great words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High. (Dan 7:25) I have thought of this Scripture many times over the past few months, as I see the weariness on the faces of those who have been standing in faith,...

The Bible teaches us that we can have the peace of God. It says Jesus left us his peace. The peace that carried him through the cross, death, and the grave. But how many of us are walking in that level of peace daily? I have been thinking about this...

Lord, may the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to You, God. “Be careful little mouth what you say, be careful little mouth what you say, for the Father up above is looking down with love, so be careful little mouth what you say.”...

So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”(Luke 17:6) In this passage, God beautifully illustrates faith as a tiny mustard seed, symbolic...

Meditation.  The word often brings to mind new age or some other religion, however, meditation and the benefits of it, was first and foremost, God’s plan. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the...

Prolonged warfare can cause even the most seasoned prayer warrior to become weary beyond words. I believe many of us have experienced this in the past few years. While praying recently, God reminded me of a day, not too long ago, when I was fatigued. I had scheduled a time...

This morning in my worship time, I was singing to the Lord. I was singing an old song when I began to meditate on the words of the song. I want to share some of those words with you today. He came from heaven to earth, to show the way....

The other day I was corresponding with one of the staff members from our accounting firm. While talking I remembered a conversation she and I had several years ago, when she was pregnant with her little girl. As we exchanged pleasantries, she asked how my day was going. In turn,...

In the early months of 2020, God began to say one word to me. “Prepare.” It seemed every single day He was prompting me to prepare. I had no idea what for and I could never have imagined what that year would bring with the Covid pandemic. Lately, I have...

As I shared yesterday, last week was filled with challenges. As the weekend approached, I looked forward to a time of resting and spending time in the presence of my Lord. That was my plan. However, Saturday morning I was praying and worshipping God when my phone rang. I didn’t...

Last week was a week full of unexpected issues, seemingly one after another. By mid-week, I began to feel pushed and pulled in many different directions. It was then that I heard the Lord quietly speak to my heart and say, “come aside.” I knew those words were found in...

And we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, so we were in their sight. (Num 13:33) This scripture recounts the pivotal moment when Moses, following God's instructions, dispatched twelve men to explore the promised land. These chosen spies were tasked with a critical mission: to assess the strength and...

Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. (Ps 55:17) God brought this scripture to mind the first weekend of February. He emphasized the evening, morning and noon to me. I knew there was something He was leading me to...

As I was looking through some old notes today, I came across a message by Jim Reilly from the Healing Prayer Call. His teaching was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. He taught that we have stepped into a new place in...

This morning, I was reminded of a scripture found in Genesis 26:12-14. Then Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; for he had possessions of flocks...

Recently we talked about threshing through the mountains in our life, using the following scriptures. Behold, I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills like chaff. You shall winnow them, the wind shall...

(Today, I want to share an article with you from my friend, Karen Hardin. It is such a great encouragement – I just had to share) On Christmas Eve, our five-year-old grandson had finished dinner and wanted to play as the rest of us finished the meal. Presents had already...

Last week, while I was walking through my kitchen one morning, I felt the Lord speak to me about a situation I had been praying about. My initial reaction wasn’t positive. I found myself murmuring to the Lord, saying, “God, I have done that, and I have done this; I...

A few days ago, I shared what the Lord revealed to me about removing mountains or obstacles that stand in our way, little by little. As I continued to study this topic, I came across another scripture that I want to share with you today: “Arise and thresh, O daughter...

There was a season in my life when God began to bless me beyond my imagination. It was an amazing time. A few months later, I asked God why He had blessed me so abundantly, especially when there were many people I knew who prayed more, knew more scripture, and...

In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says; For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. He says that we can speak to the mountain,...

Lately, I’ve been inexplicably waking up between 1 and 3 a.m., and this past week was no exception. On one particular night, as the clock struck 1:00 a.m., my eyes fluttered open, wide and alert. I lay there in the stillness of the dark, the silence surrounding me almost palpable....

Several years ago, I heard the strangest story about a little dog and how it died. While speaking with an acquaintance, we came across a small grave where a dog was buried by its family. She began to tell me how the dog had died. She explained that the dog's...

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. Isaiah 12:2 I once came across a captivating story about a determined man who set his sights on conquering a towering mountain, fueled by a desire for solitude and self-discovery. Despite warnings from seasoned climbers who advised against...

Today, a scripture I once studied came to mind. It is found in Psalm 138:8. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me. Several years ago, I stumbled upon a powerful scripture that resonated deeply with me during a challenging time when I was faced with a difficult decision. There...

Today I was praying a scripture over you. This is found in Psalm 65:11, which says, You crown this year with Your goodness, and Your path drips with abundance. As we enter a new year, I pray that it is filled with the goodness of God and that your life...

I keep hearing that many people are relieved that 2024 is coming to an end. I understand why; it hasn’t been an easy year for many of us. There has been a great deal of uncertainty, both as individuals and as a nation. However, God has been faithful, and we...

While spending time with God, I began to reflect on the approaching New Year, which is just around the corner. Several thoughts filled my mind: the excitement of a new year, New Year's resolutions, and new beginnings. As I contemplated these ideas, the Lord impressed upon me to take action....

Today, the Lord reminded me of a dream He once gave me. The dream took place on Christmas Eve, and I think that's why it comes to mind again during this Christmas season. Perhaps, it is for such a time as this. God has shown me dreams about Christmas before,...

I heard an interesting story recently that I want to share with you. A friend of mine was talking about someone we both know who recently had a motorcycle accident. She mentioned that while he was still in the hospital, he decided to sell his motorcycle, saying, “Apparently, God was...

As we prepare to enter the New Year, one scripture has been constantly on my mind. This scripture is found in Luke 24:5. And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, 'Why seek ye the living among the dead? As 2024...

Luke 2:7 is a very familiar story, especially at this time of year. Scripture says it this way, “While they were there, the time came for her Child to be born. And she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in...

Recently, the Lord began to speak to me about offerings that are a sweet-smelling aroma to Him. He revealed that it was not about the scent itself, but rather what it represents. Leviticus 2:9 says, It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. This scripture referred...

As we transition from the warmth of Thanksgiving festivities, we find ourselves approaching the joyous season of Christmas, a time when we come together to honor the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Despite the distractions that often cloud our thoughts—such as the pressures of work, the...

I once came across a deeply thought-provoking statement that resonated with me and stayed with me through the years. It was a simple yet powerful phrase: “Complaining is to the devil what praise and thanksgiving is to God.” This statement struck me like a lightning bolt, making me pause and...

I can hardly believe we are in December! It seems impossible that Christmas is almost here, but here we are. I love this time of year. I love Christmas, and I love giving—not just at Christmas, but throughout the year. While I know Christmas is not solely about giving, in...

Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it. (Amos 9:13 ESV) This scripture came to mind as the Lord...

The other morning, I awoke with a scripture rolling over in my mind. It is a very familiar scripture found in the New Testament. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart...

I recently delved into a remarkable book by John Eckhardt titled *Fasting for Breakthrough and Deliverance*, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. The pages were filled with insights that resonated deeply with me; in fact, I found myself underlining more lines than I left untouched....

A statement has been on my mind for weeks now, probably due to the month we are in. Actually, two phrases. One is a heart of thanksgiving. The other is a thank offering. These statements caused me to reflect on something that happened to me this past week. I remember, one day a few...

We are all guilty of it. Thanksgiving morning arrives and we are busy preparing the turkey, mashed potatoes, and homemade bread. The family is running around chattering with excitement. The house is filled with wonderful aromas and joy. It’s a great time with family and friends. But is this how this yearly celebration began? Has...

Recently, I have been thinking about days of adversity. While thinking on this subject, God reminded me of a word I once read by Johnny Enlow that I feel is relevant today. As I read it, my spirit leapt, and I knew it was what God was speaking. “We are...

Recently I read an article stating how many born again Christians read their Bible consistently. This study showed that only three percent of Christians daily read their Bible. 3 %! My first thought was, “how can that be true?” However, if I look around and see how many Christians are...

Well…this year has had it challenges for all of us, that is for sure. From the first of January until now, I have received more prayer requests, phone calls and texts from people needing prayer and encouragement than ever before. Apart from that, looking around the world can some days...

I was preparing breakfast while listening to preaching. All of a sudden, the man of God said something that captured my attention. He said, “many of you are one declaration away from breakthrough.” If we are going to see breakthrough, declaring God’s Word and promises are a must. Think about...

One-night last week, I was having some quiet time with God. To be totally transparent, I was talking to Him about some things I had been praying about, that I had not yet seen the answers to. I was saying, “God, if I am missing something, please show me.” Instead...

Today, I want to share a personal testimony with you, if I may. Something that happened a couple years ago. Let me begin with this; my prayer life usually consists of prayers for those I love, for our partners, for the ministry and for my family – not necessarily in...

I was preparing breakfast, while listening to preaching. All of a sudden, the man of God said something that captured my attention. He said, “many of you are one declaration away from breakthrough.” If we are going to see breakthrough, declaring God’s Word and promises are a must. Think about...

This morning someone sent me a prophetic word from Marsha Burnes that I want to share with you. It was a tremendous encouragement to me, as well as an assurance of the blessings God has ordained for each one of us. In a vision I saw an ancient Roman Colosseum...

Over the weekend, I was meditating on the many ways God speaks to His people. As you know from my writings, He speaks to me most often in simple terms. For instance, God speaks through things in our natural surroundings. Have you even been awakened several days in a row...

Jesus said it like this; According to your faith, be it unto you. (Mt. 9:29) One night, while waiting to hear from God on a particular prayer, God said it to me like this; “I can only take you far as you are willing to go.” He went on to...

The way a mother hears the voice of her child has always been insightful to me. That child can whisper the quietest sound and a mom hears it, even from a distance. Or if that child calls on the phone, they don’t have to announce their name, their mom knows...

Yesterday I read a word from Bill Burns. But even before I read it, the Lord had been talking to me about a particular scripture found in the Psalms. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall...

“You have My word, you’ll not go under, but you will come out with plunder.” These words were spoken to me by the Lord just before waking on Saturday morning. I recognized them immediately; they were from a prophecy I received in 2007 – seventeen years ago. Here is the...

I walked to my mailbox today to retrieve my mail. One piece jumped out at me – on the back of this envelope were the words, “God Remembers You.” My mind went to the days of Noah. As we know, Noah and his family were saved from the judgment that...

In our region, we are experiencing an unusual Fall season this year. Each morning, there’s crispness in the air, a refreshing coolness that hints at the changing season. However, as the day unfolds, by lunchtime, the warmth sets in, often transforming the atmosphere into something far more summer-like. You find...

Today, I want to share a prophetic word/ dream from Nate Johnston. I have not shared anything like this for a long time – but this one spoke to me… please read and then I want to ask you a question. MY WARNING FROM THE LORD ON THIS NEXT MOVE...

Recently, I watched a cooking show on how to make the best barbecue. I don’t know why it caught my attention since I am not a huge barbecue lover, but it did. Throughout the segment, one man, when explaining how to make the best barbecue, said these words… “Low and...

“Don’t you realize you are now eating the harvest from the seeds you sowed last season?” This is something God once spoke to me… God began speaking to me in January about the scripture found in Deuteronomy 8:18. But you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He...

This past week, I came across a quote I had once read. It was...  When someone is pregnant, she is not "expecting a child" - she already has one. She is not "going to be a mother" - she already is a mother. The baby is not "on the way"....

One morning, as the sun began to peek through the windows, I casually glanced at my calendar. The date on the calendar reminded me that the next presidential election was just days away. It's hard to forget with all the constant coverage on the local news stations. I began to...

 “and the Lord shut him in.” These words came to mind this morning as I was meditating on scripture. They come from Genesis 7:16. They refer to Noah and the ark. The animals had been ushered onto the ark. Noah and his family settled in as God commanded and the...

Life can be hard; there is no doubt about this truth. None of us are exempt from times of challenge, loss, and disappointment. But when we experience these things, it's crucial to remember that disappointment should not be the lens through which we view our lives and all God has...

With the ding of my phone, I was alerted to yet another person who was facing physical attacks on their body. It seemed it had been a week of those types of communication. I read email after email of people who are battling sickness or disease right now. Physical attacks...

As the temperatures drop and mornings become crisp and cool, I find myself thinking about something I do each year: preparing for winter. I thought about a few years ago when I prepared myself for winter and helped others prepare. Whether preparing water pipes, chopping wood, or picking up nuts,...

“You can’t be pitiful and powerful at the same time!” I heard Joyce Meyer say those words many years ago. They are the words that came back to me this morning as I was praying for someone. You cannot be pitiful and powerful at the same time – you will...

Start where you are. Do what you can. With what you have. These words have come to me many times in the past few weeks as we have worked to supply provisions for those most affected by the recent hurricanes. Day after day, I hear about more needs. Some days, it...

Are you currently facing a challenging situation? I recently came across a thought-provoking statement that really made me stop and think. It goes like this: "If God doesn't rescue you from a difficult situation, or if He doesn't lead you around it, it's because He has already given you the...

Today, as I drove by a familiar road, my mind returned to the day I visited a home near here and the veteran who resided there. This experience may have come to mind because we have been gathering and distributing supplies to those affected by Hurricane Helene. A few years...

A pastor I know often says, “When you hear a testimony, God releases the power of God into that testimony to DO IT AGAIN.” It is powerful to grasp that as we share a testimony, it carries within it the power to “do it again.” For the past couple of...

Imagine, with me, a moment when you hear a knock at the door.  You arise to answer the door to find Jesus standing there.  Excitedly, you invite Him in, just as Martha did long ago. You are so excited you can hardly contain yourself; your mind is racing, thinking, “How...

Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it’s the only thing. --Albert Schweitzer One late afternoon, I arrived home from the grocery store. I loaded up my arms to carry everything in with as few trips as possible. It’s odd, but this has always been my way. Instead...

I once encountered a powerful piece of writing by Marsha Burns that really resonated with me. Even though it's been many years, I still find myself reflecting on its impact today. It said, Keep yourself from defilement. This may require pulling back from activities and relationships that are not beneficial...

“We marched around our house seven times a day for several days and prayed, and God paid it off.” This was the marvelous testimony I heard while listening to a ministry online this morning. While this is a beautiful testimony, this strategy won’t work for everyone. It worked for this...

Recently, I have been thinking about God's abiding presence. For God to have an abiding presence, the atmosphere must first be conducive to creating a resting place for God. Psalm 132:13-14 says For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home: “This is My resting place...

After being led on a three-day fast, I spent the night seeking guidance from the Lord through the scriptures. I was eager to receive any message or insight from Him following the completion of those days. As I delved into the Word of God, a familiar scripture caught my attention,...

Each year, I have goals: spiritual goals, physical goals, and financial goals. This past weekend, I was thinking about my financial goals for 2024 and what it would take to reach those goals before the year ends. As with most people unexpected things arise through the year that we are...

In Exodus 16, we read about God feeding the children of Israel with daily manna. Then the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they...

Over the weekend, I tuned in to an online message. While listening, I had a profound realization about myself. I discovered that I had unconsciously let go of some of God's promises, one of which was particularly significant. Even more significant, I realized that in the process of letting go,...

I can hardly believe we are at the end of September. This year has been a blur. That is what was going through my mind one morning as I awoke. Suddenly a profound thought burst into my mind. "Find the Joy." This past year has been challenging for many of...

I have not only heard it once but numerous times this month. “You are a product of your environment.” “You become like who you hang around.” Over and over again, I heard a statement to this effect. It is true. We do become like who we hang around. Years ago,...

Today I am going to write on a subject that keeps coming up this year – actually it has for a few years now. I am speaking of the REST OF GOD….ENTERING INTO HIS REST… Early in 2020, God gave me this scripture. But now the Lord my God has...

As I navigated the curve in the road, my gaze was drawn to a sight in the middle of the pavement. I promptly eased off the accelerator to give the deer the time and space it needed to decide on its next move. As he pondered his options, he contemplated...

As I recall, it was either late June or early July when this incident took place. I strolled slowly towards my mailbox, soaking in the warm summer air. Suddenly, a flash of color caught my attention, causing me to look down in curiosity. To my bewilderment, I discovered an enormous,...

The Bible uses the analogy of a ship's rudder to illustrate the power of the tongue. Just as a small rudder directs the course of a large ship, our words have the potential to guide and shape the direction of our lives and those around us. It is a powerful...

“It is during the darkest moments of our life that we must shift our focus to clearly see the light.” I thought of this one day as my daughter shared an insightful truth. My daughter deals with anxiety sometimes, particularly when driving over long bridges above deep waters. She has...

I heard a statement in my heart the other day when I was praying for someone: “They have surrendered to Me as Savior, but they have not surrendered to Me as Lord.” Wow. I have never thought of that before – yet it explains so much. All of us who...

"Why are we making another deposit today? We just made one yesterday," Breanne asked. It was a valid question, as we typically only make deposits a few times weekly. "I don't know," I replied. "I just feel that we should make a deposit today with what came in." As I...

The morning had a leisurely pace to it. I had decided to spend the day puttering around the house, taking care of cleaning and other odds and ends. With that in mind, I started my day by brushing my teeth, washing my face, and changing into comfortable lounge pants and...

Last week, I received a birthday card from a ministry partner. Inside was a magnetic bookmark with the word "blessing." I was touched by this nice gesture and decided to take it to my office to use when I read. Hours had passed before I decided to reach for the...

Pressure. We all experience it in one form or another, sometimes daily. It may come from family issues, work deadlines, finances, kids, or other life challenges. The weight of these things may at times feel like more than we can bear, yet God promises His grace is sufficient for us,...

Hope is only as strong as its source. I recently encountered these words while praying for widespread hopelessness in our nation and across the globe. The impactful statement made me reassess the true foundation of my hope. So, let's begin by delving into the meaning of hope. Hope, as defined...

After studying the peace of God, I heard a statement that caught my attention. It was, if you protect your peace, your peace will protect you. I pondered this statement for a few days. While I knew it was true, I searched for a scripture to confirm it. I did not have...

I once saw words in an advertisement that caught my attention. The bold, lettered words said, Plan Your Day…Grow Your Life. Proverbs 16:3 in the Amplified Bible says, Commit your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], and your plans will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance]....

“Sometimes, we prune when we should be uprooting.” These are the words God spoke to my heart one day as I read a ministry partner's email. I want to share a portion of her email with you… “Just one loss after another, all feeling so out of our control, &...

I've always loved the morning after a storm. One such morning, I woke up early after a powerful overnight storm caused a power outage. There was a lot of thunder, lightning, and strong winds. I wasn’t sure what I would wake up to. As I opened the curtains, I was...

These past few weeks have been a time of sowing seeds for me personally and for the ministry. Today, I was sitting at my desk pondering this and asking God why I was being led to sow so many different seeds recently. Usually, at least in my own life, when...

Many of us are not where we wish to be in various aspects of our lives. This could be related to our health, finances, career, or relationships. We may be hoping for positive changes in the near future. Can you relate to this truth in your life right now? The...

I was sitting in the small waiting room at the chiropractor's office, waiting for my appointment. I could hear the muffled conversation of the person ahead of me in the room with the doctor. While I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, I couldn't help but hear what he said to his...

One day last week, I heard of a financial need for an upcoming ladies' conference. As I listened, my first thought was, “I can meet that need.” Later that day, we dropped off a check to take care of the need – I thought no more about it until I...

Several weeks ago, I had a dream about harvest. An unusual harvest. Last week, once again, my night was filled with scenes of a unique harvest. The scene from the dream began at my home. In my home, was a visitor – a guest. She asked me to take her...

Today, I was thinking about a time when my grandson, Bryson, learned to play the guitar. After a few weeks, he began to teach his Mom to play, and eventually, his Mom taught his sister to play. Many days, when they came to visit, they would bring their guitars and...

Early one morning, someone shared a video with me of thousands worshipping amid the threat of attack in Jerusalem. It was an impactful video – it captured my heart in that moment. It also made me examine my heart and ask a few questions, questions that I believe are crucial...

Today, I was reminded of a day Breanne helped Brailee with a school lesson on roots and their purposes. While sharing this teaching with me, Breanne made a statement that has stayed with me: “You can’t have a tree without roots.” A simple statement: I know. However, it is profound....

I often teach about the principles of sowing and reaping. I believe firmly in this principle; I have lived by it most of my adult life. Galatians 6:7-9 says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."  Genesis 8:22 says, "As...

It was one-day last week. I was going about my day. Thing after thing came my way to cause distractions. Out of my spirit, I heard myself say, “I will not be controlled by distractions!” Distraction is defined in the Webster’s 1828 Dictionary as; The act of distracting; a drawing...

I was talking with a friend on the phone one night. I was sharing with her some seemingly small but wonderful things that had happened the week before. I told her, “I was not expecting these things at all!” When I made that statement, the Lord spoke to my heart...

This past week, I was reading an article when one particular scripture jumped out at me—that is how it often happens to me. I couldn’t even tell you what the article was about—I believe God wanted me to see that one verse. By faith Sarah herself also received strength to...

Breanne shared a story this weekend that blessed my heart and spoke to my spirit. I want to share it with you today. My granddaughter, Brailee, is thirteen. She loves horses and often rides in Horse Shows in our area and beyond. Earlier this year, she had a bad experience....

Fear. Regret. Bitterness. Depression. Anger. Grief. We all have times in our life when we deal with these kinds of emotions. They may come through challenging seasons such as discord in the marriage, a wayward child, betrayal, health issues or even the loss of a loved one. If not dealt...

Over the weekend, I was studying the names of God. Whenever I study this subject, I can’t help but think of a church I once visited decades ago. I know I have shared this story before but allow me to share it again quickly. My mom and I walked into...

I never tire of what God teaches me and reminds me of during planting season. One day, I was preparing some Kennebec potatoes to put in the garden. I sat down, cutting them in quarters or halves, making sure there were several eyes present on each cutting. That is what...

Today, I want to share a word with you from Wanda Alger, enjoy! For those who have felt under constant attack and are questioning the status of your warfare, know that the seeming setbacks and system failures are actually indicators of your soon and coming victory! The principalities and powers...

This morning, as I walked into the prayer room to record the weekly audio partner prayer, my mind was going over everything I needed to do this week. As I was thinking about what needed to be accomplished at this time, the Lord arrested my thoughts. He stopped me in...

Ecclesiastes 3:7 declares, “there is a time to keep silent and a time to speak.” For most of us, speaking up is not a problem; however, being quiet can be a struggle, especially when you feel you have an opinion on the subject. Most of us have an opinion, don’t...

This morning, I was reminded of something that happened once with Bryson – it has been several years ago now but still holds a powerful lesson. One morning, Breanne called me to tell me that Bryson had a doctor’s appointment that day. She said he had a cough, and she...

Today, I want to share a word from Bill Yount with you. I believe this word applies to us personally, as well as our cities and states and our nation. Murmuring And Complaining Were Putting Locks On The Gates Of Our Cities Including "Washington, D.C." In the Spirit I saw...

The center of His will. I have heard this statement throughout my Christian walk. Today, with a little help from a friend, I understand the depth of its meaning. I once received a letter from a pastor friend. In it, he wrote, “Stay under the shadow of humility, not near...

One day, while listening to a sermon, I heard a statement that caught my attention. The man of God said, "an offering of praise." Just this past weekend one of our partners sent me a prayer request. She had many things going on in her life that were causing her...

Lately, some transitions have occurred in my personal life and the ministry. Although it feels and seems sudden, it has been culminating in my mind and heart for months. Frankly, it was something I didn’t want to do or walk through. I liked things the way they were, and I...

Recently, a close friend of mine has been in a place of transition. In our conversations, she shared with me her feelings about making this change, which would be a huge step of faith for her. It seems that each time she gets to a place of complete peace about her...

Although it has been several years, today I was thinking about the first year I planted my raised bed garden. I remember each morning I went out to check on my garden with excitement. I was so excited when I would see a small green bean or bell pepper or...

Today, I was thinking back to 2020. It was right before the pandemic. I had just ordered the long-awaited new furniture for my house. Then COVID hit, and everything stopped. My furniture did not come as scheduled. I waited and waited. Finally, I became used to having an empty living...

  Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:45 The other day, I was listening to the radio and heard a statement that has made me think about it for days now. The statement was,...

Last week, I took a short vacation with my daughter and her family to celebrate my grandson's eighteenth birthday. While I looked forward to being with family and grandkids, I looked most forward to getting away from work and getting some rest. At least, that is what I hoped. The...

I knew what I needed; I had felt it all day long. Still, the day was busy, there were people all around. When I was finally alone, the phone kept ringing. It seemed to be one thing after another that had to be dealt with. I was becoming desperate. Desperate...

The goodness of the Lord never fails me. The goodness of the Lord, it overwhelms me. The goodness of the Lord is always true. The goodness of the Lord never fails me. The goodness of the Lord will see me through. These are some of the lines to a song,...

Today I was thinking about the day I drove home from officiating the funeral of my aunt. That day, I headed home, lost in thought.  The next morning, I awoke with a heavy heart. I knew I could spend the day working or at home, resting – but neither felt like...

Expectations of others could be defined as planned disappointments. Think about that for a moment. This statement arrested me one morning as the Lord brought a heart issue to my attention. Expectations are not bad. God says in His Word that He will give us an expected end. (Jeremiah 29:11) Expectations...

It was Friday evening; I was sitting on my back porch in the quiet. It had been a rough week. One of those weeks that seemed like no matter what came your way, it did not work the way you planned. It felt as if I had been trudging through...

While I was studying this week, I came across a scripture. As I read it, I felt the Lord wanted me to share it with you today – I believe this is a word for someone, if not for many of you. The scripture is found in Genesis 41:52 and...

Lately I have been thinking about something God once spoke to me. It was early one morning, when I first opened my eyes, that He began to speak to me. After a few moments He spoke three words to me… “Preparing the heart.” I knew this was to be my...

While reading in the Old Testament this week, I felt God highlighted a particular scripture to me. I want to share it with you today. It is found in Joshua 1:9. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for...

Today I was thinking about grace, God’s grace. I know in life; God gives us grace to walk through difficult seasons. Through times we don’t think we can survive. Not only a grace to walk through and survive it, but a grace to walk through with Joy in the Lord....

But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. (Phil 3:13) I think it is interesting that Paul says, “This ONE thing I do,” yet it is a two-part instruction. One that is vital as we move from one season to...

Everything we have need of flows from one place, a relationship with God. Jesus said in John 15:5, “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” We read book after book...

We all want to prosper, yet most of us would say there are areas in our life where we are not seeing prosperity.  As a ministry, many of the prayer requests we receive are for prosperity, either in finances or the physical body. Today, I was spending some time praying...

I have thought of this phrase many times this week, a dream becoming a reality. It is from a writing I wrote several years ago. In the previous writing I shared how I had told one of the ministry partners about something I was praying about. She sent me a...

Yesterday, I shared with you something God had spoken to me about angels. I was excited about what God had shown me and I fully expected to see quick results from employing the angels of God. Early the next morning, as I was walking through my house, I began to...

Over this past weekend, I began to hear a phrase over and again. It was not a wording I would normally use; therefore, it captured my attention. The phrase was, “employ the angels.” The word, employ, means to give a job to or to make use of. Because this sentence...

Today, I was thinking about something God once revealed to me. It was a time when I was diligently seeking an answer to a particular prayer. As I prayed I felt as if something was blocking me from entering into the place where I would see the answers I was...

Today we celebrate Memorial Day. We are thankful for the land of the free that we live in and we fully understand that it is because of the brave that we are blessed to live in this land. We are thankful for all those who have fought and sacrificed that...

A very familiar scripture has been on my mind today. It is found in John 15:7. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted. NLT Most of us are familiar with this scripture. Yet,...

There has been one thing on my mind this week, one I can’t seem to get away from. I want to share that with you today. Put the vision before your eyes and keep it there. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain...

If there is anything I know in my own personal life it is that the Word of God is full of power and alive.  It quickens things for me as I confess the scriptures over my life and the lives of those around me.  I have personally seen the Word...

It has been several years ago now; I think it was 2021. It was early Saturday morning when I heard the ding of an incoming text on my phone.  I picked it up to read a message from a friend.  One that would start my day with encouragement. The text...

This week God has been bringing a scripture to my heart over and over again. I have been meditating on it all week. I feel God is showing me revelation about this scripture, while at the same time, He is causing me to look back at the type of seeds...

It was 2021 when God first showed me this – today, I felt led it share it with you again today. I think of this often. I want MY city to be such a city, how about you? One night I was listening to a prophetic minister when something they...

As I was looking through some old notes today, I came across a message by Jim Reilly from the Healing Prayer Call. His teaching was about those who play church or who are not fully committed to following Jesus. He taught that we have stepped into a new place in...

This morning as I was praying, the Lord brought a scripture to mind that I want to share with you today. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 The Amplified says it like this; Keep and guard your heart with...
