About a year after I obeyed God’s call to open this Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge, “Go higher…. Press deeper…. Push further…. Higher up….” An invitation to Awakening.Continue reading “The Great Invitation”

Be Careful What You Pray For
Sometimes, we pray so fervently for what we want, God actually gives it to us, even though He had a better plan. 1 Samuel 8. We weren’t created for everything to go our way here on earth. We were created for oneness with Christ. In this world you will have trouble. It is a promise.Continue reading “Be Careful What You Pray For”
Completely His
Several years ago, the Lord led me to begin a new habit. Before I opened my eyes or got out of bed or thought any other thought, I would think on Jesus and hand Him my day. He took me on a long, beautiful journey of surrendering not only every day and plan, but everyContinue reading “Completely His”
Into the Secret Citadel
Do you often feel disconnected from God? Like you’re working for Him, but missing out on the more somehow? Do you see others enjoying His power and His anointing, while you just feel weary and dry? What if you knew of a supernatural portal into His presence? What if, like a superhero, you had yourContinue reading “Into the Secret Citadel”
Awakening to Jesus
Today, I felt the Lord encouraging us from John 1:1-5, 10:10, 16:33; Philippians 4:13; and Psalm 118:24, to hand our day — not only today but every day — to Jesus to make it His. This day has already begun. What will you do with it? This day is My day. I have given itContinue reading “Awakening to Jesus”
Listen UP!
How do you make decisions? Do you weigh the pros and cons? Press for what you want? Lean on your own understanding? Ask others their opinions on the matter? Our decision-making processes are one of the main ways the enemy slips in to do his dirty work. Do any of those methods feel familiar toContinue reading “Listen UP!”

Power in Surrender
What has God asked you to do this year that feels beyond your capability? Have you said “Yes” yet? Don’t decide whether or not to obey the Lord based on your perceived abilities or inadequacies.

Let God Be Your Time Manager
Philippians 4:13; Proverbs 3:5-7; Ecclesiastes 3:1 In all things Kingdom Culture, Jesus is our Model. And Jesus only did what His Father was doing. John 5:19. So should we.

Topple My Pride
God hates pride, and must bring it down, because pride sets myself up as an idol before God, as I bow to my own opinions and desires and push others to bow to them too. But humility draws God near, and brings His favor. James 4:6, Proverbs 8:13, Isaiah 25:11, Jeremiah 49:16. Lord, forgive meContinue reading “Topple My Pride”

Christians’ Response to Violence
On Sunday, a mass shooter open-fired on those gathered for lunch at Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, California, killing one and injuring five. The man who died actually gave his life to save the others. He confronted the shooter, who shot him multiple times. If it wasn’t for that sacrifice, many more may have died.Continue reading “Christians’ Response to Violence”
Prayer for Anxious Hearts
Lord, be our Shield. Block fear from invading our minds, hearts, and homes. When anxiety, worry, and panic overcome us, we have trouble trusting in Your Sovereignty and Your heart of Love.

Building Oneness with Christ
What does it look like to walk in the Spirit? Galatians 5:16, 25.

Before I get out of bed. BeforeContinue reading “Building Oneness with Christ”

Proverbs 3:5-6 – The Surrender Theme
We have a Sovereign One who holds our future in His hands. It’s not the president of a nation or any other governing party, whether evil or good. It’s the God Who loves us.

It’s All About Me
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 “It’s All About Me”
No More Room for Pride
Time is short. The powers of darkness and the people who serve them are watching us. We can no longer allow Pride to rule us. Only surrender to Love will win this fight.

Wedding Planner
This is the continuation of a word from the Lord for His bride: The bride is not the wedding planner. I am. That wedding is coming sooner than you think. All must be surrendered to Me.
