Receipts for Donations for 2017

Once again, as I do each year, I want to say THANK YOU so exceedingly much to those of you who graciously and generously donated to Walk by Faith Ministry this past year. I am thankful beyond measure!

As many of you know, as I do not have any staff and only have an extremely minimal amount of volunteer help compared with an enormously full plate of the work to which the Lord has called me, and given I use a very old fashioned bookkeeping system, when it comes to receipts I ask each year if an...

WARNING: You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet

“Then the Lord said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth. And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Such as are for death, to death; And such as are for the sword, to the sword; And such as are for the famine, to the famine; And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.”’ “And I will appoint over them four form...

Throw It Away

“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.” Mark 8:34-35 NKJV……………….

Is there something you need to throw away? Something you’ve been thinking about over and again you know needs to be gone? Something you know you’re holding onto that n...

Your Mind and Mouth

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14……………

Please pay careful attention to this. Please don’t miss what I did for years. Please hear this message. This is a well-known Bible verse, and sometimes verses become so well-known we neglect to dig deep into them, to truly hear the message from God in them, and to go out and do what the Lord is telling us.

What is the psalmist saying? What is the psalmi...

““And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of...

““And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?…You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.” Deut. 10:12-20 NKJV……….

“You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him...

Don’t Restrict It in Any Way

“Know that the Lord, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.” Psalm 100:3 NKJV……………..

I could not have been more excited. In fact, I couldn’t recall the last time I had been that excited. Not only was what the Lord was calling me to do literally what He created me to do, what I was born to do, what He knew I would do even before I was born, but the next step in my life’s calling was so incredibly critical, so vital, so importa...

A Blessing from God: Don’t Miss It

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17……………..

“Bless the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:” Psalm 103:1-2………………

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, maybe even often, sometimes too often, I become so driven, so determined to get everything done in a given day I believe I’m suppos...

Don’t Take Me for Granted

“Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.” Psalm 34:3

Ever felt taken for granted? I have a long, long history of being rejected, so it goes with the territory. Whether people outright abandoned me, or simply stepped back and pretended like I wasn’t there, and still do, ouch. I’m sensitive to begin with, so suffice it to say I am all too familiar with the feeling of being taken for granted by people. It hurts especially when it’s people I love dearly. I’ve also done p...

LIFE LESSON: Paralyzed Dog’s Leg Stuck

“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.” 2 Tim. 20-21…………….

“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” Galatians 6:1………………….

“M...
