Over the holidays I usually enjoy quiet time seeking the Lord, not only concerning the year ahead but also the previous years – I want to grow in God with every year. Therefore, I seek God for what I could have done differently and if there are changes, I need...
Today, I was reminded of a scripture found in Leviticus 2:9 which says, “It is an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.” In Genesis 8:20-21, we see Noah, after the flood, offering a sacrifice to the Lord. “Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took of...
It was around 6am Monday morning. I had been awake most of the night. I have no idea why; I simply could not sleep. I didn’t feel the need to pray, or worship, I only felt exhausted. I decided to go lie on the couch and try to get an...
As I listened to different ministers talk about what they perceived for 2024, one passage of scripture was spoken of over and over again. Psalm 24. Just this morning God began to talk to me about the same set of scriptures and how we enter into a time of the...
Have you ever felt as if you were coming up against the same challenge or obstacle over and over again? Most of us have. It happens to everyone at one time or another. It even happened in scripture. We see this in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 2. The children...
One of our readers shared a story with me a while back that I just love. It was in response to my writing about praying for our children and grandchildren. I ran across it recently and felt led to share it with you today. 10 years ago, my Grandson, Jackson...

It was early one morning when the Lord woke me with a question. “What can change a nation?” I believe this thought has been on the mind of many as we watch what is unfolding in our great United States of America. Thousands have been fasting and praying diligently for...
This week one of our partners shared a testimony with me. She had posted on her Facebook page how the Lord had led her to sow a personal seed and the outcome of that seed. Just days after she sowed her seed, she heard water running in her house. In...
Most of us are familiar with the scripture found in Romans 11:29: For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Many, if not all of us, think of the scriptures found in Ephesians when we think about the gifts of God… Therefore, He says: “When He ascended on high,...
Here we are at the end of December – the end of another year – it seems impossible yet here we are. This is the time of year many look back over the previous months and the prayers they have been praying. It’s the time of year when most decide...
