As I sought the Lord about what to write for that final 2022 partner letter, many things came to mind. I began to think back over this year. First, my mind went back to the challenges I have faced this year, beginning with skunks under my house and a septic repair that would cost thousands […]
Today, we want to take the time to honor all the men and women who have served and are serving our country and say THANK YOU. It is very fitting that Veteran’s Day is in the month we celebrate Thanksgiving. If it had not been for the veterans of this great land, we would not […]
This month I have been thinking about something God once told me. I was walking on the beach in Boca Grande, Florida. My absolute favorite place to be. Perhaps it is so precious to me because it is often years between my visits. Nevertheless, it remains my favorite place to visit. It was early in […]
You know, I will be the first to say that God wants us blessed…because he does. And I will be the first to say we have an inheritance of blessings….because we do. But I also know that what God longs for is a people who have a heart after him. He longs for a people […]
Grace is defined as unmerited pardon or undeserved forgiveness. In this movie, as in life, forgiveness is most difficult to give when it is undeserved. I know from personal experience that it is very difficult to forgive someone who has hurt you or hurt someone you love. We feel they don’t ‘deserve’ forgiveness and it […]
God is looking for us to obey and obey quickly. I have a ton of excuses why I haven’t done what he told me to do. January is a busy month for us with yearly reports and tax prep. We have had numerous computers break down this month. We are having to re-do the month […]
The other day I was walking down my hallway and heard God speak ONE word to me; fullness. I stopped and thought a moment and then I prayed; God I thank you that I am full of your presence, full of your anointing, full of your peace and full of all that you are. As […]
Friends, God is speaking. He is speaking through the weather, through the signs in nature, through the prophets and even through little children. He is here. He is doing a new thing. Will you perceive it? Will you recognize him? Will you recognize his hand in your life? Look him, Jesus is here and he […]
I love when the Bible says in Isaiah 55:11 that the word will not return void but it will accomplish what we send it for. We can declare a thing and it will be. The entire world was created by the words God declared. Hebrews 4:12 says; for the word of God is living and powerful, […]
WORSHIP… I can’t even begin to think about worship without thinking about King David. He was a man after the heart of God. He worshipped God when his enemy was hot on his trail. He worshipped God when he was in the middle of the sheep field all alone. He worshipped God with all his […]
If you are not seeing the blessings of God in your life, ask him, diligently seek him and inquire of him what the hindrances may be. The Bible says if we call upon him, he will answer us. Proverbs 3:13 says; Happy is the man who finds wisdom. Proverbs 4:5 says; Get wisdom and understanding. The Bible […]
This morning the Lord reminded me of something strange that once happened to me. It was during a time I felt I had heard God about a promise. I remember one morning thinking or feeling that something was blocking me from realizing the fulfillment of this promise. As odd as it sounds, I could almost […]
If the only time you can worship is in a corporate setting when God’s presence is present, that’s not the heart of a worshipper. Worship is powerful. It is a weapon that the enemy can’t even stay in the same vicinity with. When you worship God, the enemy won’t stay around to watch, I can […]
Friends, I know life is busy and I know we have a lot to do but don’t sacrifice today getting ready for tomorrow or worrying about tomorrow. Enjoy today. The bible says to enjoy today because tomorrow will have enough problems of its own. Enjoy today. As corny as it sounds, stop and smell the […]
Psalm 34:9; worship God if you want the best; worship opens doors to all his goodness. MSG When we worship God it opens doors to all his goodness, to all his provision, because it opens the door to all that he is. Spend time worshipping God and be faithful in your giving, he will bring […]
If you are a sower, you will also be a reaper. It is a promise from the Bible. However, if you don’t sow, you won’t reap. That is also a promise. But to get you started, God has promised that he will give seed to the sower…if you need seed to sow…you can have it. […]
When I went through attack after attack and loss after loss, I realized the enemy was attempting to steal worship from me. Worship is my power tool. It is the place from where everything flows for me. Everything wonderful that has ever happened in my life has come from intimate times of worshipping God. That […]
God tells us in his word that we will go through times that are dark and lonely, times when we can’t see our way through, but if we keep walking, we will come out into the light. Psalm 66:12 says; we went through fire and through water; But You brought us out to rich fulfillment. Isaiah […]
Yesterday was a busy day for me. I got up early, made some food to take to my cousin who is in the hospital. Once that was prepared, I loaded my vehicle and headed out to do my errands, plugging in my phone as I went so I could listen to worship music on the […]
Where is your safe place? Psalm 91 says; He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abides under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of […]
