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....

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....
