What Would Your Life Look IF…?

What would your life look like IF… your heart and life were 100% surrendered to God?

What would you think about?

What would you say?

What decisions would you make?

What would your attitude be like?

Where would you live?

What would you be doing?

With whom would you spend your time?

What would your relationships be like?

What kind of music would you listen to, what movies would you watch, what magazines and books would you read?

How would you spend your time on the computer?

What would you do on w...

Some Suffering IS Optional

When God created the world, He did not create it so humans would suffer. Suffering results from the sins of humanity. But He loved us so much He sent His only Son Jesus to the cross to die to pay our sin punishment and to raise Him from the dead to create the only way for us to be forgiven, to have a relationship with Him now and forever in heaven, and for His Holy Spirit to come live in us. We who turn from our sins, believe in Jesus as Lord and in His death and resurrection, and truly turn our...

When You Have No Hope

While I tend to think it best to write shorter messages given people in this world are often busy and in quite a hurry, I do my best to write filled with and led by the Holy Spirit of God whereby I submit to Him and to His will concerning the messages He places on my heart and all aspects of them including the size. Though this is definitely a longer message than usual for me, I sincerely hope you may be led to read it in its entirety including the Bible verses contained within. And that when yo...

Your Porn “Problem”

Special Note: Please know this is written with LOVE. Not judgment. We are all sinners. Long ago, I was sexually immoral in multiple ways. I repented. God forgave me. Day by day by His Holy Spirit through the Bible He is teaching me the right way to live. Humbly and wholly and obediently HIS! May God use this message to powerfully save and set people free! If this message is not for you, perhaps you will be led to pass it along to others! Thank you! In Jesus’ love, lara

If you think using pornog...

When It is NOT God’s Will

This might seem like the most obvious thing in the world, but I feel strongly compelled to tell this to you who are reading this.

When you are clear something is NOT God’s will, DO NOT DO IT! If you have already done it, turn away from it and turn to God! Repent! Do what is right in His eyes!

There is a powerful story in the Bible of two sons both given instructions by their father. One said he would NOT do his father’s will but changed his mind and did it. The other said he WOULD do his father’...

When You Leave in Obedience to God

If you leave something or someone IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD, in other words you have prayed and read the Bible and sought godly counsel as needed and left in surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ and His will for you, do not be surprised if your flesh is tempted to go back where you came from. Whether the person, place, or thing you walked away from was wonderful or terrible, easy or hard, long-term or short-term, no matter the circumstances, you may be tempted to return simply because it was familiar, b...

Please God Help Me Love Her!

“Please God help me love her!” I have cried out to God again and again regarding someone who has hurt me with her attitude toward me and ongoing inconsiderateness regarding a certain matter.

In the old days, before God mercifully transformed me from a lukewarm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ to a totally sold out Jesus follower, I would have tossed the Lord and the Bible to the wayside and filled my thoughts, words, and actions with sin.

Anger, hurt, bitterness, dislike if not hatred, self-pit...

When God Says Walk Away

When God makes clear through the Bible or by His Holy Spirit speaking to your heart personally in line with the Bible or through His followers speaking in line with the Bible or in any way He so chooses that He wants you to walk away from something or someone, WALK AWAY.

You can resist, debate, argue, delay, rebel, etc., but this is all SIN against God almighty. When He makes clear His will and His timing to walk away, WALK AWAY.

I was right in the middle of doing something when I felt so strong...

Why I Prayed for Africa

Disclaimer: I started writing this message in the morning. I wrote just a few sentences. Came back hours later and started making a few tiny changes at the start. Then all of a sudden with an unbelievable rush the whole message just poured out of me. God has impressed it up on me to send it out completely unedited just as it poured out of my heart. May you be encouraged, inspired, and greatly challenged by God through this message!

One day in my praying I prayed my heart out for Africa. It was ...
