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…..
Forgiveness I took this photo as the sun began to rise above the horizon. This scripture immediately came to my mind: Matthew 7:13-14 – “The Narrow Way” – 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Now click on the picture if you need to. Do you see…..
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…..
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…..
Monitoring On June 3, 2022, at 3:18 am, the Lord woke me and gave me one word – “Monitoring”. My husband looked up the meaning of this word and one definition stuck out to me: “To listen to and report on.” My first response was thinking how we are being watched today, our every word and action being monitored. Everywhere we look there are public cameras watching us. There are reports that our computers, cell phones and smart TVs are…..
Pay Attention to Details I cannot seem to get away from this scripture I read recently. Jesus was blessing little children when the disciples interrupted. Luke 18:15-17 – 15 Then they also brought infants to Him that He might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not…..
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. But we can still honor them by the way we live our lives. All godly mothers have taught their children the ways of the Lord and their prayers are still essential for us. Also, remembering that they are rejoicing in heaven with all those that have gone before us should comfort our hearts…..
THE DAY AFTER Yesterday we observed Resurrection Sunday. So, what are you doing today, “The Day After”? The Disciples returned to their secular occupations when Jesus was no longer with them. You may be asking as I am, “How could they go back to their normal lives after knowing all that Jesus taught them and all that they saw in signs and wonders?” My answer to that is, “We have His Holy Presence, His Word that teaches us, gives us…..
Do Not Condemn Jesus did not condemn – Jesus loved the condemned and still does today! Since Jesus is our example, why are some in the church body condemning people? Romans 14:10 – But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. (Hmmmm, let us think about that.) Years ago, I witnessed a young man who was beginning his walk as a new believer. …..
Build On The Rock The man that replaced Judas Iscariot as one of the twelve disciples was named Matthias. He is only mentioned once in the Bible, but his name means “the gift of the Lord”. Matthias witnessed the ministry of Jesus, when He healed the blind, mute, and deaf, delivered the bound from demons, when He raised Lazarus from the dead. Matthias was a witness to the corrupt government in his day. He was a witness to a corrupt…..
