Please Let This Go!

Is there something you desperately want you are certain God doesn’t want you to have? Something you already have in your possession that you are clear goes against God’s will for you? Or something you are desperate to have and would go to any lengths to get but know God doesn’t want you to have it? Whether it’s a person, place, or thing, I am here with all my heart to tell you this. Please let this go! Whatever or whomever it is, if it is not God’s will for you, please let this go. He will give ...

Jesus’ Self-Pity

Right in the midst of the Lord dealing with me about making sure to get rid of every single ounce of self-pity every time it raises its ugly head in my heart, words, and actions, He brought to mind how much self-pity the Lord Jesus Christ had in His lifetime on this earth and particularly when He went to the cross. Ever considered how often Jesus felt sorry for Himself for all He endured on this earth, for everything He went through getting to the cross, and for all He bore upon Himself upon the...

Don’t Block Them Out!

Pretending something isn’t there doesn’t mean it’s not there. But this message isn’t about pretending WHAT isn’t there. It’s about pretending WHOM isn’t there. And it’s about blocking them out. Pretending WHOM isn’t there? Blocking WHOM out? All the people all around us, all around this world in fact, both near and far, as close as those living with us or next door or at our workplaces or sitting on the street corner as we pass by, to people so far away we will likely never meet them in person. ...

Goodbye Ungodliness

Call me a fool, and a fool I was, but I believed receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and the promise of forever life with God was as simple as intellectually believing He is Lord and in His death and resurrection and saying a little prayer. Then off I could go to my old life and live the way I’d always lived it and one day I would take my suitcase packed with my wishes, ways, wants, and earthly treasures and pleasures having gotten everything I’d wanted on this earth and skip off to heaven to enjoy a...

Ministry Doggies on Beach!

Don’t Hide & Hold Back

Are you HIDING in your heart the goodness, greatness, wondrousness, gloriousness, awesomeness, amazingness, magnificence, splendor, loveliness, lovingkindness, etc. of the Lord and HOLDING BACK from telling the world about Him? If you are, please don’t!

Please read these words from the psalmist before I share with you this powerful message the Lord placed on my heart for you who are led to read this.

“I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness In the great assembly; Indeed, I do not restra...

Lara’s New Location

Just over 4 years on the road for Jesus full-time now with my handicapped ministry dogs, my “new location” is an “old location” – with NEW opportunities! I am back in coastal South Carolina where the Lord has sent me to do beach, hotel, and streets ministry and my writing & publishing – along with some greatly needed REST! I lived in this area for many years and have returned a few times in the past 4 years to stay in hotels, do ministry work, and rest.

By God’s grace, I just spent almost 2 mont...

Loving & Doing

Once someone helped me who kept a big distance from me as far as the person’s heart was concerned. The person labored hard to help but was cold, curt, brusque, and lacking love toward me. When I reached out, the person showed no friendliness nor desire for fellowship. The person kept a wall between us but worked hard to serve. I was thankful for the help but the lack of love hurt dearly. I felt unloved, demeaned, and pretty worthless. One day a strong message came to mind.

We are all called to l...

Update & Prayer Request from Lara

Dear friend,

By God’s grace, I now have a replacement car for Christ / ministry mobile as I continue being on the road for Jesus with my handicapped ministry dogs! Previous car with about 260,000 miles on sold! I was pressured to lie and sign a legal document saying I had the part recently stolen but refused in God’s strength to bow down to the devil and this world’s ungodly ways. Got the part replaced though I could have made more money by lying, sold the car. Not all the money in the world com...

Let the Lord Lead

“I want you to wait,” the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. “This is flesh.”

What I had started to do isn’t the point of this message. What God told me is.

We were created to love, worship, praise, honor, obey, fear, serve, experience, and enjoy God forever through repentance, faith in, and devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ, and when we repent and receive Christ as Lord we are no longer to live for self but to LIVE FOR JESUS. How? Filled with and led by the Holy Spirit of God! According to our sinf...
