Prisoner of Hope

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...

Precious Seed

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...

Cities of Light

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...

The Dividing Line

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...

Guard Your Heart

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...

Key to Reproducing

This morning I was reminded of something I once heard a doctor say. He said, “Stress makes it extremely difficult to conceive.” That day I learned when we are under significant stress, the probability of conception is greatly reduced. I also found that even animals shut down their reproductive functions...

Finding Hope Again

This past week I received quite a few emails from people who had lost hope. My heart goes out to them, and I can certainly understand how they feel.  If we spend too much time looking at the world, the news, or social media, it would be difficult to remain...

Seeds Already Sown

  Seed.  Time. Harvest.  Seed…Time….and then…Harvest. One day a year or so ago, Breanne and I were talking about vehicles.  I shared with her how a Jeep was my favorite vehicle.  It’s not what I am driving then, but it is my favorite vehicle and I shared with her how...

God is Enough

There is a scripture that has been on my mind a lot this week.  It is found in 2 Corinthians 12.  I am sure you are familiar with it. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most...

Is Your Heart Stirred?

In the last few days, at different times my heart has been stirred. Stirred to obey God is sowing seed or to obey God in doing a faith act in some way. This has caused me to think about the widow woman with the two mites in the New Testament....

When We Don’t Know How to Pray

I once read an article that greatly expressed the awesome power of praying in tongues. The testimony was not by a preacher or a teacher, it was by a mother. The story was shared a few years ago on Good Morning America. The story was about a mom and her...

Entering Rest

The morning began with a myriad of emails waiting to be answered, voicemails to return and errands to run. As I quickly prepared to run my errands, I thought, “Lord, I need a vacation.” Later that morning, I was at a doctor’s appointment. As I got ready to leave, he...
