Repent or Rebel

We have two choices when God almighty makes clear we are sinning against Him. When He chastens us. When He brings correction. When He brings conviction. When He shows us by His Holy Spirit, through His Word, through someone or some people He so chooses, in a dream, or vision, or in any other manner He desires, that we are caught in wrongdoing. We can repent or rebel.

We can humble ourselves, be truly sorry for sinning against God, and turn to Him and His ways. And make whatever changes and amend...

If You Really Love Jesus

For years I told people I believed in and loved the Lord but only in retrospect did I come to see my love for Him was emotional and passionate but lacked depth, sincerity, maturity, and a vital aspect of expression. See, the Lord Jesus Christ makes plain in the Bible those who sincerely love Him live in obedience to Him.

If you and I really love Jesus, we will live in obedience to Him. Will we do this perfectly? No, but our heart’s cry will be to love, honor, serve, praise, worship, obey, and gl...

Facing a Decision?

Facing a decision? A little one? A big one? Somewhere in between little and big? Not sure what to do? The world teaches us we should make decisions based on self. On what is comfortable, what will make us happy, what pleases us, what is easy, what is fun and pleasurable, looks good, feels good, and tastes good, what will bring us worldly success, what will get us praise from others, what will make us feel good about ourselves, what will bring us good money, what will make fulfill the lusts of ou...

My Pretty Highlighters Testimony

Sometimes I think we get so bogged down, overwhelmed, distraught, discouraged, and overloaded, etc. by our circumstances and the trials of this life that we neglect to recognize, acknowledge, and praise the Lord for His unfathomably wonderful and boundless love, care, kindness, and goodness He bestows upon His followers. The Lord never ceases to amaze me in His endless love, grace, mercy, greatness, goodness, generosity, and the exceeding lengths He goes to pour out His love upon us in seemingly...

If You Are Doing Wrong

I stayed in a hotel in which a bunch of rooms were in substandard condition. Red stains possibly blood on carpet in one room. I was told it was not blood. Broken heat in a room. One filthy toilet. Hair and lipstick like stuff in one sink in a room. Then there was the big amount of mildew under a piece of temporary flooring next to a handicapped shower where the water from the shower came all over and under the flooring. I suggested the staff get rid of the flooring with the mildew. Though I was ...

WARNING – Ocean Storm Testimony

Thanks for watching this Video Devotional I just did today. This truly is the most important message I am quite certain any of us will ever hear!

When You Feel Like Your Life Has No Meaning

Please note the #1 purpose and meaning all human beings were created to have in life is to have a personal relationship with God forever and to love, serve, praise, honor, obey, worship, and glorify Him forever and to love one another. This message is not designed to address this common purpose we all have but is written to encourage others to find and fulfill the individual purpose God has for them and to live on this earth with a strong sense of significance and meaning! May the Lord use the w...

When the Devil Digs Up Your Past

The devil in his despicable three-fold mission to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10) seems to have an endless array of tactics to try to mess up people’s lives, and one such tactic is to try to get followers of the Lord Jesus Christ to get our focus off of God and the Bible and His will for our lives and onto the sin and darkness in our pasts.

Why would the devil want us to do this? Probably to try to distract us from God, to try to damage our relationship with God, to try to steal the love, ...

Thank You God!

When was the last time you stopped everything you were doing and enthusiastically, joyfully, jubilantly, sincerely, and emphatically exclaimed, “Thank you God!”? Has it been too long? Have you never really done this, not consistently anyway? Have you never done this at all? Have you been thanking God but more as an obligation than with great enthusiasm? Or only when you are at church? Are you thanking God enough?

Oh, but we truly could never thank the Lord enough for who He is, what He has done,...

I Told You So!

Ever thought or gushed out the words to someone, “I told you so!”? Ever had someone say to you, “I told you so!”? Did you find yourself hurt, bitter, angry, ashamed, embarrassed, irritated, offended, discouraged, feeling down, feeling judged, upset in one manner or another? Did you notice the other person get upset when in one way or another you said to that person, “I told you so”? Perhaps you have never given this subject much thought as I had not until one day God put this message strong on m...
