Unchartered Territory It was an amazing opportunity for our granddaughter to snorkel in the Hawaiian Islands this year. The trip to Hawaii was a tremendous blessing from the start, we were there for a family wedding with our granddaughter participating as a flower girl. While watching our granddaughter snorkel in different areas of The Island with ease and no fear, the term “Unchartered Territory” came to my mind. We could go in many directions thinking of this title. For instance:…..
The Message of the Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18 – For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. The message of the cross seems to be different for many of us today. To those who have been saved by the cross of Jesus Christ, it means everything. It is our salvation, our hope, it is life eternal. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He…..
Prioritize Your Life Acts 6:1-4 – 1Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists (Greek-speaking Jews), because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will…..
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…..
Life Struggles So many prayer requests, terrible tragedies are being experienced by many people. Prayers of the faithful seem to be unanswered. But as Christians, we respond to the word “seem”, for we know that with God, our prayers are being answered. We know that with God, nothing is impossible. Our faith is in Him as we wait, and our peace comes through Him. We recognize those around us are losing hope for they are weakened; they cannot see above…..
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…..
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. …..
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…..
