A Supernatural Faith Have you ever found yourself going through so many trials and not understanding why? Yet, you find the strength to keep moving forward. This makes me think of the young lady Mary, whom we read about in the Christmas story. Mary was ready to start her life, excited to marry Joseph; but all her dreams and goals were put on hold, or completely changed. I am sure that raising a child at her young age was not…..
Perseverance This blog entitled “Perseverance” is being written for those that are struggling with seeing answers to their prayers. This morning as I was getting ready to take my husband to his tenth surgery in two years, my mind raced to the multiple people that stood before us in previous years crying out to God for answers WHY they haven’t been healed. Their words to us were, “I have prayed and prayed. Why isn’t God healing me?” Others have questioned…..
WITH His Stripes We Are Healed Isaiah 53:5NKJV But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. As believers we all know this verse and most of us can recite its content by memory. We claim the promises of this scripture for ourselves and those we love, as we should. Yet, God gave me a revelation many years ago regarding a portion of this verse. I have always heard…..
Great Faith In 2 Kings, chapter 4 we find the story of Elisha and the Shunammite woman. This story has been pricking my heart lately because of the great faith this woman had. The Shunammite woman recognized Elisha was a man of God and carried a special anointing. She provided food and actually prepared an upper room for Elisha and his servant to stay in as they traveled through Shunem on numerous occasions. One day while visiting, Elisha wanted to…..
Master of Breakthroughs Oh, my soul awakens with 2 Samuel 5:20 – So David went to Baal Perazim and defeated (the Philistines) there and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water”. Therefore, he called the name of that place Baal Perazim. (I added italics for clarification) Baal Perazim literally means: Master of Breakthroughs! Every person I know needs a breakthrough in some area of their lives, including me. We pray, “Show…..
Exuberant Faith As we begin a new year, I pray our focus is on the most important aspects of life. What comes to your mind first? If your response is God and family, then your priorities are aligned with God. I hope to dig a little deeper into the Word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal Jesus to me further in this coming year. My husband received the words “Exuberant Faith” recently and that is my plan…..
Is Your Faith Being Tested? A message for those whose faith is being tested! Quote from David Wilkerson: “If you are a Christian, you are in a fierce war. In fact, you are in a life and death battle for your faith. Satan is determined to shipwreck and destroy the faith of all of God’s elect. And the stronger your faith, the greater will be his attack against it. Unshakable faith in the Lord causes hell to rage. Nothing…..
The Faith of a Child This morning I was driving our precious granddaughter to kindergarten. With excitement in her voice she said, “Hey Grandma, play ‘Let Me Tell You About My Jesus’.” I knew she wanted me to turn on the radio, but she specifically wanted to hear this song. This little one has already invited Jesus into her heart and loves to sing about Jesus. She is very inquisitive about Heaven and God, and loves to hear the stories…..
