Ministry Volunteers Wanted

Volunteers Wanted

Walk by Faith Ministry is growing, growing, and growing. I am ever trying to catch up as the Lord moves mightily through my heart, life & ministry in my life’s mission to share the Gospel while ministering the Lord’s love to a world in need, helping people to become and remain forever followers of the Lord Jesus Christ as an evangelist and author devoted 24-7 to the Lord and ministry.

With no staff or regular volunteers, a very low personal income and a bare-bones budget, al...

The Walk of Faith

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

“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8

“It’s time to walk forward,” the Lord spoke to my heart as I knelt at the window praying and crying. I had just finished worshiping Him, singing to Him. I had just lost my severely disabled 10-pound dog Little Miss Miracles. I had lost another dog a few weeks earlier. And two other dogs...

My Servant’s Heart

My Servant’s Heart

“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?” Deuteronomy 10:12-13

“You have such a servant’s heart,” a friend told me over the telephone. Yes, I do. “You have such a servant’s heart,” another friend told me years ago...

Powerful Lesson from a Dying Dog

Powerful Lesson from a Dying Dog

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Mt. 24:13

“I’ll be quick, I promise. I won’t talk. I wrote a list of her meds and what I want you to check. I know you’re busy,” I told my long-time vet as I watched him examine 10-pound Little Miss Miracles. I hadn’t called ahead. I had just showed up on a very busy day for his practice. He didn’t hesitate to squeeze me in. He had known my beloved Miracle since God had sent her to me nearly thr...

Your Kingdom Purpose

Your Kingdom Purpose

“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:25-26

Years ago, I found myself handing out health food bars at a chain store in the Washington, DC, area for a sizable amount of money for the couple of hours I stood behind my table. I confess I didn’t just talk to...

Seeker-friendly HELL

Seeker-Friendly HELL

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

I had just finished another rigorous walk loving, praising, worshiping God and seeking His face, basking in His nearness as I reached out to Him with my usual fervor in my heart, enjoying the mist of sweat in the oppressive heat, taking my dog Abigail off her leash when the thoughts started coming. This is how often subjects for devotionals and messages come...

A Message from God

A Message from God

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” Isaiah 55:6-7

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal...

Are You the Biggest Loser?

“But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.” 1 Thess. 2:4-6

Growing up as one of the most unpopular kids in the class each year in school wh...

So Blessed

So Blessed

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Col. 3:2

So blessed you’re on the mend. So blessed you’re getting rest. So blessed you’re in my life. Blessed. I wrote the words quickly as they poured from my heart as I wrote a friend and sister in the Lord who was healing from a medical procedure. Suddenly it came to me. Was I writing about being blessed? Was love pouring from my heart? Was encouragement coming forth on the keyboard of my laptop computer as I wro...

SEX Talk

SEX Talk

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Rev. 3:19

I stood on a NYC sidewalk years ago rapturously kissing my dream man. Drunkenly unabashedly kissing a raging, verbally abusive exceeding alcoholic was just the start of my questionable dreams. When I looked down at his hand when I came up for air from the sloppy, sloshy, drunken kisses, I saw his wedding ring back on his hand. Then I hungrily, thirstily, voraciously returned to kissing him and rece...
