Jesus' Signet Ring
"'On that day,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,' declares the Lord, 'and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,' declares the Lord Almighty." - Haggai 2:23
During some morning worship time last Saturday morning, I listened to a song and raised my right hand into the air in praise. Since seeing a vision of God's throne room a few years ago, I often imagine His throne room when seeking to hear from God, and He...

The Visit From God: A Message From A Watchman
"Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' But they all began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' Still another sa...

Women of Noble Character
As I was seeking guidance from the Lord recently on direction and purpose for my life, He led me to read the book of Proverbs. While I was reminded of some great wisdom like not making hasty decisions, the value of hard work, and the pursuit of "ill-gotten treasures," the last chapter is what God really intended for me to see:
Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character (Proverbs 31:10-31)
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

Discounting Your Children
"When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed stands before the Lord. But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." -1 Samuel 16:6-7
When my oldest son got into his preschool years, we started getting feedback from teachers that he was behind developmentally.&n...

Saved Just For You
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." - Jeremiah 1:5
When I wrote my first book, "Activation," the title came to mind as the best way to describe what happened to me when God flipped the switch on my life and "activated" me for service in the Kingdom. As a reminder, the definition of Activation is:
The process whereby something is prepared or excited for a subsequent reactionTo accelerate a reaction...

I Just Want You
"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth, and does not live in temples made by human hands. Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He himself gives all men life and breath and everything else." - Acts 17:34-25
I was sitting on the balcony of my mother-in-law's condo on the Florida coast, watching the sun rise over boats motoring across the causeway and birds sailing overhead. I prayed in the spirit (in tongues) and...

The Living God - A Guest Blog by John W. Nichols
A guest blog from friend and author John W. Nichols:
Once again, I’ve come to the realization that I need Jesus. It’s times like these I’m comforted by the fact I worship the living God—He who speaks, sees, hears, smells, feels, and walks. But I have to confess I often act as if He isn’t present or interested. I lay down at night too many times having settled with rote prayers and not giving Him room in the conversation. If you too ever fall into this, would you pray with me?
“I’m sorry, God,...
