When to Say NO!
GOD IS LEADING ME TO SEND THIS MESSAGE OUT IMMEDIATELY. ORDINARILY I READ BACK THROUGH WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN AND DO MY BEST TO MAKE ANY CHANGES THE LORD DESIRES. IN THIS CASE, I HAVE A VERY STRONG SENSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS NOW SO I AM NOT DELAYING! PLEASE OVERLOOK ANYTHING AMISS, AND I PRAY GOD WILL USE THIS MESSAGE TO HELP AND ENCOURAGE SOMEONE IF NOT MANY…!
If saying NO is hard for you, if you don’t like saying NO, if you don’t have the courage to say NO, if you get confused about when to...
Keep It in God’s Hands
After a brother in the Lord encouraged me to keep something we had been discussing in God’s hands, the Lord brought this message to my heart about trusting God.
Before we are able to keep something in God’s hands, in other words to keep trusting Him with whatever it is, we need to first place it in His hands! We need to first put our trust in God regarding the matter!
Simply put, we need to put our trust in God regarding something before we keep trusting God with something.
Trusting God with ou...
God’s Calendar
What if you cried out to God, prayed, prayed, and prayed, each and every day, prayed on an ongoing basis, prayed without ceasing, and sought the Lord about His will for your calendar? Whether or not you have, keep, and use a calendar, how would He like you to fill your time? What does He want you to do with your schedule? What is His will for your life day by day?
What if every day we humbly and wholly surrendered our hearts, lives, and time and schedule over to God and His ways and His will for...

Hump-Backed Woman Testimony
If you have ever seen a woman with a hunched back, you can tell no matter how much she may desperately want to stand up straight that she simply cannot. She appears so weighed down with the so-called hump in her back that she simply has had to get used to carrying her burden in a bent down position. And to live her life in spite of the hump and the limitations that come with it. Imagine the unfathomable surprise and joy the woman with the spirit of infirmity in the Bible must have experienced ...

Come Back to Jesus!
You who have wandered, come back to Jesus! You who have strayed, now please return! You who have turned your back to God and gone your own way, return, return, return to the Lord! For He is THE Way! He is THE Truth! He is THE Life!
There is no pleasure you will find, no sin you will enjoy, nothing you will discover apart from God that is worth forever in hell and the lake of fire apart from God in unending torment. Missing out on the best relationship we can ever have in the universe – one with ...
Are Your Feelings Hurt?
Are your feelings hurt? For those of us who are sensitive and get our feelings hurt easily, what should we do about it? Please read on!
I was always sensitive, always felt emotions more deeply than the average person, and definitely got my feelings hurt more than many others might. But never did I expect I would become even more sensitive as a Jesus follower. I would have thought I would have become strong and thick-skinned and not feel everything so much. Oh, not so!
While I would have thought ...

Let Go of the Reins
It would be mighty foolish not to mention dangerous and potentially deadly for a man to let go of the reins of his horse drawn carriage and not carefully control and direct the horses and his ride in the carriage, wouldn’t it? Well it’s the exact opposite when it comes to reins and us human beings. It is mighty foolish not to mention dangerous and potentially deadly for us to hold on to the reins and try to control our lives and other people and the world around us!
Trouble is sometimes we in ou...
Those Horrible Thoughts
Sometimes I have horrible thoughts. Absolutely awful. About people. About someone in particular. About a situation. About myself. I have even had them about God sometimes. The kind of thoughts you would not want anyone to know. The kind of thoughts that make you feel ashamed, guilty, embarrassed, ridiculous, foolish, crazy, etc. Can you relate?
Used to be I automatically spoke and acted on those thoughts in my heart. I would say something terrible to someone. I would do something mean. I would a...

Lara’s Birthday Special Request!
Tomorrow is my 55th birthday by God’s grace alone. Why do I say by His grace? Because God rescued me from decades of brokenness beyond human hope and repair, saved me, and ultimately called me into ministry and turned me into a totally devoted follower of His. I never imagined I would make it to this age let alone that despite ongoing hard challenges that I would be filled with love, hope, peace, and joy and unfathomable passion for the Lord and zeal to tell the world about Him. I truly love the...
