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,...

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...
