Lara’s BIG REQUEST for BIG HELP
If you don’t already know, and some if not many of you already do, the Lord is leading me to pack up my belongings, along with the last of the special needs and senior rescued doggies in my care, and hit the road for New York City where He is sending me to carry on with my work as an evangelist and writer doing streets ministry and writing and publishing Gospel tracts, devotionals, and books.
I do not get a salary, live an incredibly simple and economical lifestyle to be available 24-7 to the...

Quit Butting God
“Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?” Romans 6:16……..
But God, I don’t want to do this. But God, this isn’t fair. But God, there is a better way, I just know it. But God, what you’re asking of me is too hard. But God, I don’t understand. But God, I’m not ready. But God, I’m afraid. But God, I don’t want to go there. But God, I don’t want to talk t...
Is God Testing You Like THIS?
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4…………
God’s tests for me are never easy. They can be downright hard. Even seemingly impossible. And, perhaps because He has called me to devote my life 100% to Him and ministry, I get tested sometimes seemingly constantly, and sometimes in pretty big ways. And someho...
Cancer Doesn’t Stop 2 Sisters’ Praise
“I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1…………..
If there is one thing that stands out about two of my sisters in the Lord who are going through treatment for cancer at the same time, and who despite living hundreds of miles apart have become friends through the Lord using me to introduce them, it’s this. No matter their diagnosis, no matter their prognosis, no matter their trials, no matter how they feel on any given day, no matter how gruel...

Gifted
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”” Luke 11:13……………..
“You are a very gifted writer,” a sweet reader wrote me one day.
Yes! Yes I am, I thought later when I reflected on her message. I am a very gifted writer!
Now before you think I’m the most prideful person in the world, please hear me out. Listen to what she wrote next.
“I feel God’s presence through the words you write,...

When God Says STAY
“Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.” Mt. 6:10………………….
Not long after the Lord gave me a message to write about not leaving a person, place, or situation unless it’s the Lord leading us to do so, I sensed He had another message for me related to the issue of leaving versus staying. So I waited until I knew He had placed another message on my heart. And here it is.
If God is telling you to STAY with a person, in a relationship, in a location, at a job, in a situat...

“Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; an...

Does God Feel Loved by You?
“We love Him because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19……………………..
God has a heart, you know. Read the Bible and you’ll see. How often, I wonder though, do we focus on how God loves us rather than focusing on how we should love God? And how we should express our love to Him? He tells us in His Word our love for Him comes because of His love for us, and His greatest command to us is to love Him. I wonder then, does God feel loved by us? By me? By you? God sees our hearts. He sees our actions. He h...

Come Spend Time with Me
““The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.” Song of Solomon 2:8-10…………..
“Come spend time with me,” the Spirit of God spoke into my heart one beautiful surprisingly warm later winter morning. “It’s more important than...
