Sometimes, even when God has given us so much, we end up pouting because of something else we want that we can’t have. Does that sound familiar? Is there something you’ve been longing for He hasn’t given you yet? How has that blocked you in your faith? It may be a valid desire, even oneContinue reading “Better Not Pout”

What Are You Working For?
One morning, the Lord awakened me to a vision of the bride scrubbing the floor, sweat on her brow. “I see you,” the Lord said to her. He reached out with both hands, and as she took them, He pulled her to her feet to look into His eyes. Don’t be like the wife whoContinue reading “What Are You Working For?”
Worship and Overcome
When we worship God in the midst of our problems and pain, we bring Him joy, as He fights for us and triumphs over our enemy. 2 Chronicles 20; Isaiah 30:29-32; Psalm 149. 1 Samuel 16:14-23. The enemy flees, as God changes our focus from how big our problems are to how big our GodContinue reading “Worship and Overcome”
Only Hidden in Christ Are We Safe
I had a dream of people walking around with imaginary self-protective “walls” that in reality were just thin lines — a mere thread — not a wall at all. Just like we often do, the people in this dream came on way too strong in each situation, too self-important, too conscious of how they look,Continue reading “Only Hidden in Christ Are We Safe”
Living His Song
You were formed unique with a purpose, a holy calling from the One who breathed life into you. There are specific ways He wants to shine His light through you that no one else on this planet can do in quite the same way you can. Your culture, language, family life, experiences, looks, trials, gifts,Continue reading “Living His Song”
Wisdom in Making Decisions
Lord, give us wisdom, please. As we face difficult decisions, help us not lean on our own understanding, but to seek You in all our ways, letting You direct our paths. Proverbs 3:5-6. We can’t see the future, but You can. You know what’s up ahead and where You’re taking us. Help us surrender allContinue reading “Wisdom in Making Decisions”
Rise Up and Love
What are some things you’ve settled into over the years that have become a habit because you were afraid or felt you needed to protect yourself from something or someone? Or maybe you felt inconvenienced by what God was asking you to do and talked yourself out of it and into that habit that feelsContinue reading “Rise Up and Love”
My Love Never Changes
The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through. Whatever you’re holding onto — grudges, financial security, selfish desires, lust — whatever you’ve been spending your time, thoughts and efforts on that I have not called you to — you must let go now. ItContinue reading “My Love Never Changes”
Faith and Refocus
Lord, sometimes it feels as if the enemy is assaulting us from all sides, and the fury of all that comes against us feels greater than we can withstand. But for You, O God. No foe is bigger than Your glory. No army mightier than Your power. No assault greater than the protection of YourContinue reading “Faith and Refocus”
Remove the Barriers
Psalm 32; John 8:31-32; 14:15-21; Matthew 17:20 Through negative life experiences and wrong thought processes, the enemy has embedded lies, sins, and self-protective habits (strongholds) so deeply in your heart that your will alone is not enough to break free. You need Someone stronger. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry. IContinue reading “Remove the Barriers”
