Be Thankful
So Thankful

Barren No More
Barren No More
“Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible.”...

Cast All Your Living In
Cast All Your Living In
“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in a...

Please pray for me!!
Please Pray for Me
For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof. ” 1 Corinthians 10:26
We live in a world that teaches us to be strong. I am weak. We live in a world that teaches us we should be everything. I am nothing. We live in a world that teaches us to depend on ourselves. We live in a world that teaches us we should get the credit. I am a broken sinner woman. Broken before God. I do not depend on myself. I do not trust in myself. I trust in God. He is strong in my weakness. He...
Fresh & Clean
Clean and Fresh
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
Have you ever stepped out of a shower or bath and felt amazingly clean and fresh? Like all the grit and grime, the dirt and gunk, the sweat and filth, the dust and junk, everything you’ve accumulated since your last washing has finally come off of you? Whether you’re homeless with little if any access to a shower, or in prison with strict regulations...

Is This Word for You?
Is This Word for You?
“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 underlining added
Some of you need to turn off the TV and start spending serious time with God. If you think I’m being emphatic, I am. Not for any other reason than I believe God by His Spirit has given me this topic to write about as a message to those who need to hear it. If the truth be told, and the truth isn’t always so easy to hear, nor to tell, some of you ha...

Magnify the Lord!
Magnify the Lord!
“O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.” Psalm 34:3
Sometimes I hear people talk more about their pastors than the Lord. More about what pastors teach them than what the Holy Spirit teaches them. More about their time at church than their alone time with God. More about what they learn from other Christians than from Jesus Christ. Is it any wonder I notice this? I spent years doing the very same thing. Until God led me to repentance for putting my tr...

Whack-the-Devil
Whack-the-Devil
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”
(2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
MANY years ago, yes I e...

Who Is Your Master?
Who Is Your Master?
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
Who is your master? Or what is your master? The word “serve” comes from the Greek word δουλεύω, or douleúō, meaning to be a slave to or in bondage to, per Strong’s concordance. Master is from the Greek word κύριος, or kurios, whose definition includes lord, master, owner, per Thayer’s lexi...

90-Day Money-Back Guaranty
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10
When I heard the leadership at a mega-church that had recently expanded into my area had apparently for the third year in a row promised the congregation to refund 100% of the people’s financia...
