Want God’s Promises?

   “…now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you…There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, whi...

Are You Stuck?

 

“Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.” Psalm 85:13

A day after I wrote about the light of Christ and following Him as the light of the world and sharing His light with others, God’s Spirit pointed out that in order to see the light ahead, we need to keep walking.

If you are walking down the street in the dark and there is light right where you are walking, can you see the light 5 miles ahead of you? 10 miles ahead of you? Of course not. But isn’t this...

This Isn’t a Game. It’s a Warning.

 

“And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them.” Ezekiel 2:5

The Lord commissioned me within a few weeks of doing something hard. To confront a beloved long-time friend, a woman to whom I had been ministering, and a long-time loved one with something He wanted them to see and do. That they needed to repent of various sins, to turn away from them, and to make the necessary changes that would bring them into obedien...

Facing Decisions? Facing Changes?

   “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

   “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

Praying. Praying. I was praying my heart out. And walking. Fast. Fast praying. Big praying. Passionately praying. Walking, walking, walking. My English coonhound Esther, yet to be adopted, was trying to keep up with me. Suddenly the Holy Spirit told me to stop praying.

“Look down,” the Holy...

Pretty Little Lamp with a Message

     “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:5

   “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

   “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as c...

I Don’t Want to Do This

I Don’t Want to Do This

“…And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

“I don’t want to do this,” I essentially told two different friends one day. I made myself loud and clear. “I don’t want to move to that location. I don’t want to live in that town. I don’t want to have that kind of property. I don’t want to own my current property though I’m so thankful for it. I don’t want to have or move with this many dogs...

Prayer Request & Update

Hi everyone!

PRAYER REQUEST & UPDATE:

I have been back in South Carolina two months since the big hurricane evacuation and am well immersed in my season of rest and preparation into which the Lord has called me.

He has abundantly and graciously restored my health which I greatly compromised through the years with an exhaustive and very much flesh-driven lifestyle and convicted me and delivered me into a new lifestyle of seeking His face and being in His presence and being sensitive to His Spi...

Does This Describe You?

Does this Describe You?

“Then Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.” 2 Chronicles 20:18

    Know when King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah praised and worshiped God? BEFORE their battle. DURING their battle. AFTER the victory God gave them in their battle. Convicting for you as it is for me?

Do we worship God only in church if we even go to church? Or praise Him only after He g...

The Ability & Strength to Serve God

   “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11 ESV

   “If any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the domin...

Nothing to Live for

“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.” 1 Peter 4:1-2

Some people when they suffer a great loss or experience a season of depression or have had an extra tough life declare that they have nothing to live for. Other people declare they have much to live for. Som...
