As I walked through my house yesterday the Lord spoke one simple sentence to me. He said, “It’s time for the new.” Of course, it reminded me of a scripture in Isaiah 43. Isaiah 43:18-19 says, “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, […]
One of the things God has been highlighting in my life lately are the power of words. Specifically, word curses. Proverbs 18:21 say, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Most of us are familiar with this scripture, but I wonder how many […]
I was listening to a minister the other day and he spoke about a time when he had a debt that was in the millions of dollars – and it kept growing each month. He prayed and prayed over it and it just kept getting worse. One day the Lord spoke to him and told […]
I woke up early and rolled over to get out of bed. Immediately, I heard a statement in my spirit. “God can do what doctors cannot do.” My mind quickly went to the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-47. And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent […]
One night, while visiting Breanne and her family, we had dinner and then sat down to watch a movie. I was sitting beside my granddaughter, Brailee, who is the most outspoken person I know. In one scene a man shook another man’s hand and said, “How are you doing? I am praying for you and […]
I was reading a testimony from a man who was healed of cancer. He had only been given ten hours to live. In his interview he made a statement that I am sure is relatable to many of us. He said, “I fought fear more than I fought cancer.” When my incident occurred, fear came […]
“Where is your faith?” This is the question Jesus asked the disciples in the book of Luke. Honestly, over the past few months, I have had to ask myself the same question. “Kim, where is your faith?” I don’t believe we really know where our faith is, how strong it is or how strong it […]
I gently laid my hand over the blood pressure machine screen and closed my eyes. I refused to focus on those numbers, instead I focused on the word of God. With eyes closed, I began to run scriptures through my mind…. “God sent His word and healed me and made me whole, God is restoring […]
There is a subject God has been dealing with me strongly about for a few weeks. I was not surprised when I received a call from a friend over the weekend sharing with me that God had been dealing with her about the same thing. Unnecessary words. Weeks ago, in my daily conversations, God began […]
This past week I was thinking about something. You see, God had asked me if I wanted to have this one thing; I thought about it for days and realized that while I did like this thing, if I could choose, it wouldn’t be my first choice, it would be my… settled for. God taught me years […]
Over the years, at times, God speaks four words to me to get my attention. He will say ‘be warm, be filled.’ When He speaks this, I know exactly what He is referring to. The scripture is found in James 2:14-17 and it says; What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has […]
This morning I had an enlightening conversation with a friend about trusting God. We talked about the difference of faith in God and trusting God. As we did, I was reminded of a few areas of my own life where trusting God is a challenge, one that I obviously need to deal with. I want […]
I came across a scripture this morning that simply jumped out at me. It is probably one of the most profound scriptures I have read lately. It is found in Proverbs. Proverbs 8:34-36 says; Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso […]
While I was listening to the Word of God, one scripture, that I have heard a million times, jumped in my spirit. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) We […]
It was late Saturday night, my ten-year-old granddaughter was spending the weekend with me. This child is full of energy and never stops talking. She had taken her bath for the night and was preparing for bedtime. As I watched her run giggling down the hallway, this thought came to mind. “This child is full […]
This week Brailee received a gift from Kelita, a dandelion, and it took me back to something that happened a few years ago and the writing God gave me that day… Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up. Therefore, as […]
Don’t rejoice over me, o my enemy; when I fall, I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me. Micah 7:8 This scripture found in Micah has been one of my favorite scriptures. When I fall – I shall arise. As Christians, we don’t want to think that […]
Recently I heard a question that caused me to reflect on life, my life in particular. The question was, “If you could go back 20-30 years, what advice would you give your younger self.” I believe this is something we should ask ourselves today – because those answers, the ones we have gained by wisdom […]
While I was listening to the Word of God, one scripture, that I have heard a million times, jumped in my spirit. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) We […]
Several times over the weekend I heard the same message preached by several different ministers. It felt like a warning message to me, perhaps to you as well. Each message was talking about relationships. Not only marriage, but friends as well. I believe it is more important than ever who we hang around – who […]
