God’s Stepping Stones

“[Such and such] was a stepping stone to get to where you are now,” the Holy Spirit who dwells within His followers told me. “Everything [I tell you to do even when it’s simply a stepping stone] is important because I tell you to do it,” He elaborated. “No matter how long or short the season. Some things I tell you to do are simply stepping stones I use because I am taking you from one place to the next…”

He wasn’t finished. He said more, then this.

“Don’t discount the significance of anything I...

Hurting People’s Hearts

“Please be careful about hurting people’s hearts,” I was strongly compelled by the Lord to tell a beloved friend not too long after she had hurt me. Truly, given how much I loved her, my heart was broken.

I sensed He didn’t want me to deliver this warning to her in relation to me and how she had hurt me but as an admonition concerning other people to stop her from hurting others. Why would she need this warning? Didn’t she see how she was hurting people and realize she needed to repent before Go...

Family Should NOT Be First

Sometimes I talk to people who are so unbelievably in love with their families, whether it be their spouses, children, grandchildren, etc., that they are most assuredly in obedience to the Lord as far as their love for family is concerned BUT they actually are in DISOBEDIENCE to Him in one exceedingly important respect.

Friend, you are absolutely to LOVE your family with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, but you are to LOVE THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY more than anything or anyone in the universe. And...

The Praying Praising Plant

A sister in the Lord sent me a photo one day of a skinny, simple plant which appeared for all intents and purposes to be lifting its two slender branches up toward the heavens in prayer, praise, and adoration of the Lord. Everything about the little plant seemed to be looking upward. As though nothing in the universe mattered more than loving and worshiping the Lord.

Friend, how often are you and I looking upward to the Lord? Seeking Him? Praying to Him? Praising Him? Worshiping Him? Listening t...

Hope in a Darkening World

This world is so dark, and is getting darker it seems. It can be hard sometimes not to fall into hopelessness when we set our eyes on the news and the evil, violence, brutal hatred, murder, wickedness, acts of despicable rage and heartlessness, and on and on it goes

But there is a hope we can hold onto and rise above it all and be sheltered from the darkness and find joy and comfort in the midst of it all.

When we remove our eyes from the wickedness all around and set our gaze on the Lord Jesus ...

Good News Daily – June 3

Dear friend,

Dire Warning About Sex & Sexuality

No matter what the world says, no matter what the devil says, no matter what you say, no matter what I say, no matter what anyone thinks, no matter what anyone says or does, there is only ONE TRUTH when it comes to SEX & SEXUALITY. And that is THE TRUTH as defined by THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY in THE BIBLE. And with that TRUTH OF GOD comes a DIRE WARNING.

No matter how much this world tries to justify SEXUAL SIN, to excuse SEXUAL SIN, and to even go so far as to say SEXUAL SIN is not sin, THE LORD GO...

God Is NOT Your Butler

I knew two roommates years ago who played a game with each other whereby they would say to one another, “Get me ____ .” Whatever it was that one of them wanted, he would tell the other one, “Get me ___ .” The game wasn’t about please and thank you. It was about treating each other like, well, for lack of a better word, a butler. They were supposed to be at each other’s beck and call to fulfill – immediately I would imagine – anything either of them could possibly desire. It was all a joke, of co...

When the Devil Comes Hard at You

I am not even sure what I muttered aloud as I dealt with the latest little not so pretty challenge in a day filled with annoying, tiring, and unpleasant hurdles, but it most assuredly had to do with how hard the devil was coming at me trying to stop me from pressing on in my ministry work for the Lord. That’s when I heard two simple and oh so powerful words bearing a vitally important message.

“RESIST HIM,” the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart.

I have a long history when being attacked by the devil...

The Abortion You Had

The world in which we live right now resembles the time in the Bible’s Old Testament in which right was considered wrong and wrong was considered right, but we were created with all our hearts, minds, and souls, and strength to love, honor, serve, praise, worship, adore, obey, and glorify God almighty (Luke 10:27). We were created to live according to His ways not the world’s. We were created to live for Him!

God’s Word is truth (psalm 119:160), and in it He teaches us the difference between rig...
