Good News Daily – July 20

Dear friend,

I already sent out a special edition today called “The Man of My Dreams,” but at the leading of the Lord, please find my usual Good News Daily. With FOUR MESSAGES below. Lots of reading, perhaps you think. Truth is I do my best to discern the Lord’s will each day including which messages He wants me to write and which He desires I publish whether online and/or in print. My life is wholly His – writing very much included! There is indeed lots of reading below, and I trust the Lord ha...

The Best Banana Ever

I was perched on my hotel room bed early one morning before I got started taking care of my handicapped streets ministry dogs eating a banana when I thought, “this is the best banana I have ever had!” Oh, that banana was so marvelously delicious! Not unripe in the least, not overly ripe in the least. Absolutely perfect tasting. Sweet. No big bruises like some of them get. Just so incredibly tasty. An absolutely yummy way to start the day! That is when it dawned on me most assuredly not for the f...

Why I Love the Lord So Much

A friend in sharing her heart with me remarked on how much I love the Lord and essentially expressed how she desires to so passionately and fervently love Him also. How did I get to such a place of ever-growing indescribable love and zeal for and devotion to the Lord?

Years ago, a woman I met assumed my extreme love for the Lord was based on all He has done for me. As much as I am thankful beyond measure to the Lord for all He has done for me, this is not why. Here, friend, is the reason.

I love...

Don’t Quit in the Battle

The devil will fight tooth and nail against us to stop us from loving and serving the Lord and from fulfilling the assignments in serving Him to which the Lord calls us as the Bible clearly shows us and as I can strongly attest to from personal experience in life and ministry. The Lord gave me a powerful message to share with you for those right now the devil is coming hard against to try to stop from fulfilling what the Lord has given you to do for Him. If this isn’t your experience right now, ...

Deciding to Forgive

Should I forgive that person? Shouldn’t I? Should I forgive them? Shouldn’t I? Should I forgive that group of people that did something awful? Shouldn’t I? Should I forgive my family who let me down? Shouldn’t I? Should I forgive the person who harmed my loved one? Shouldn’t I? Ever had thoughts like these? Or something like them anyway? Wondering if or not you should forgive? There is only one right answer, friend. It is this.

Love and forgiveness are commanded by God. We must love. We must for...

Resisting God’s Love, Forgiveness, & Goodness

Some of us have resisted God’s love, forgiveness, goodness, mercy, kindness, compassion, comfort, companionship, friendship, provision, generosity, etc. because we don’t believe we deserve it. Can you relate? In case you think I am about to pat you on the back as some will do and say, “Well, of course you deserve it all! You’re a good person! You deserve the Lord’s blessings!”, you’re wrong. Instead I must tell you the truth according to the Lord and the Bible.

NONE OF US deserves God’s love, go...

If It Is God’s Will

All four sets of scriptures below from four different parts of the Bible all make one exceedingly important thing clear when it comes to the life of a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ:

We are to trust, seek, pray for, strive for, and live by the will of the Lord God almighty! We are not to live according to our will! We are to pray for and live according to His! We are to make decisions in our everyday lives based on IF IT IS GOD’S WILL! Not based on if it is our will!

We in the flesh in our pr...

Did Your god Die for You?

Long ago I heard a truth I did not fully comprehend at the time. The Lord has brought this awesome truth back to me for closer observation and to share with you now. This world is filled with “gods” and the worship of them, but there is only one true God who loved the world He created so much He sent His only Son Jesus to the cross to die to pay our sin punishment and to be raised Him from the dead. Why? To save us from our sins so all who turn from them to Jesus Christ as Lord and believe in Hi...

Your Calling from God

Please note the title of this message. It’s not your calling from other people. It’s YOUR CALLING FROM GOD. Sometimes people go down the pathway of what other people have told them they are good at, what other people say they should do, what other people desire for them, what other people have strong opinions about, and/or what other people pressure them to do. Never mind God almighty and that He created us to love, serve, worship, and glorify Him, and that He has a life calling for us, and that...

Good News Daily – Saturday July 18

Dear friend, 

The devil has been coming hard, hard, hard at me to stop me from writing and publishing. He is using certain tactics, and thanks be to the Lord I am aware of his methods and refusing to back down. That said, I’m pretty tired from it all and most assuredly would be thankful for some strong and serious prayer.

I would be most especially thankful to those who might be led to become ongoing prayer warriors for myself and this ministry including for my handicapped ministry doggies and ...
