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…..
Preparation Preparation for the Season – Part -1- In seeing this title, the first thing we may think about is “Christmas”, because it is the season that we celebrate the birth of Jesus. But what is the first thing you think about when you hear the word “Christmas”? Is it presents that must be purchased? Is it decorating that must be done? Are you hosting the family this year or planning the holiday parties? How many “to do” lists are…..
Happy Mother’s Day As Mother’s Day approaches, some of us find ourselves dismayed that we cannot acknowledge the love we have for our mothers directly to them.

I go one step further and say that you will have revelation of what Christmas love represents. We celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ at Christmas. We celebrate our Heavenly Father’s gift to us at Christmas. Jesus IS Christmas…..
The Power of God’s Love February is the month we hear everyone talking about love. We have a day set aside to exemplify our love to our significant other. While this is a grand gesture, we know that a marriage will not last if love is just portrayed one day a year. We know that a single pursuer would not capture the love of his life if he only exemplified his love toward her one day a year. This theory…..
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO JESUS? Oh my, what a busy time of the year. It is easy to forget that Jesus is the reason for the season. We get so involved in the decorating, the baking, the office parties, the church parties, the gifts and wrapping, the family gatherings, the exquisite dinners, and our lists go on. So, today we are going to ask ourselves “What IS important to Jesus?” Jesus IS the heart of Christmas; therefore, He is…..
