PEACE John 14:27 – Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Have you ever gotten so overwhelmed that you throw up your hands and say, “I can’t handle anymore”? Maybe you just need to stop everything you are doing and find a quiet place to get alone with the Lord. For me, I sit by…..
What Are You Asking For? While reading a daily devotional I was challenged to ask myself this question. What am I asking God for? Besides my requests in daily prayers, am I asking Him for to further His kingdom through me? Sensing it is a time in my life to reevaluate, I do not want my mind to be clouded with the chaos of this world. I want to know the heart of God and His desire for my life……
Busy Busy Busy Ask yourself, “Why is my life so busy? What am I busy doing?” I remember the days when my children were young, and my husband and I were running five businesses. I eagerly attended seminars that taught us to prioritize our time by color-coding our calendars to complete the tasks, which I took full advantage of. I discovered how the colors would pop with a glimpse of my calendar as to the importance of the day. …..
What Is Your Battle? Galatians 6:2 – “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” We have heard it said “When it rains it pours”. Although our trials/tests/tribulation seem to come in waves, as Christians we know from where our help comes from. We are to lean into God and wait for His help, His comfort, His peace. In this season we are living in, there are multitudes being affected with troubles. Whether physically, emotionally, mentally, financially, or natural…..
Take Authority This morning as I sit in quietness before the Lord, my mind roams over all the prayer requests and needs of His people. As I realize there are many in the Kingdom of God that are hurting, I automatically understand it is due to the days we are living in. Satan is our enemy and knowing his time is short, is strategizing to prevent us from spending eternity with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He believes that…..
Healing For Mothers Who wants “Beauty For Ashes, Double For Our Trouble, Everlasting Joy”? As you can tell, our scripture is Isaiah 61 and we know that Jesus quoted a portion of this in Luke 4. Isaiah 61:1-3, 7 – “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the…..
The Hope of Prophecy There have been many mentions of our living in the last of the last days. The similarity of the last days is compared to Noah’s days in Matthew 24:37 and Luke 17:26. So, I decided to study again for myself to see if there is any relevance in our society, equivalent to Noah’s. My heart leaped as I heard the Holy Spirit say, “The Hope of Prophecy”. I could not wait to continue! I am not…..
STOP! “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Who’s voice are you listening to? I was watching a minister the other night and I heard in my spirit “STOP!” Then I heard “WARNING! Be Still, you need to listen. Remember when I told the churches ‘He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying’.” The Lord is wanting to guide us through these times ahead. The Spirit began to remind me of the scriptures of…..
A Genuine Believer My heart became concerned for the fate of Christians today as I heard on national radio that many Christians are leaving their belief and church. When questioned why, their response devastated me. Christians believe they can no longer identify with their leaders, teachers, etc. The people surveyed indicated that if their leaders would show more vulnerability and acknowledge their own shortcomings, they would feel more at ease in discussing their individual problems. These Christians feel unworthy to…..
DISPELLING DARK CLOUDS One morning as the sun began to rise over the horizon, creation became alive in my soul. I took a cup of coffee to the highest point in our home to watch the beauty unfold and to my delight, my spirit started to leap. The red hue along the skyline began to penetrate the hills surrounding me, seemingly to call out “Awake, Arise, for there is a new day dawning”. I sat in the stillness of…..
