From Isaiah 51:7b-8, let’s ask the Lord for protection, courage, and empowering for those who stand for what is right and good, but who are persecuted relentlessly by those who disagree, who have been blinded by the enemy and push his purposes, rather than God’s. Lord, please make us strong and courageous as we fightContinue reading “Stand for What is Right”

Time to Overthrow
People of God, we must rise up and overthrow the enemy. Isaiah 52:2. Today, we must say, “No!” to the gangrenous thoughts we have allowed Satan to feed us that are contrary to what God says. Now is the time. Throw off the chains of selfish ambition, bitterness, anxiety, the dangerous ways we seek to “escape,” and everything elseContinue reading “Time to Overthrow”
The Matthew 18:15 Principle
Today, I feel the Lord leading us to examine our own hearts, especially with regard to how we handle conflict. One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone, rather than letting God transform us. Most of the problems we have with others really are our own.Continue reading “The Matthew 18:15 Principle”
In Step with the Spirit
Prayer is not a one-way “talk,” where we ask God to do for us the things we want and then get upset at Him when He doesn’t answer the way we expect. Prayer is a two-way conversation. In fact, the longer you walk with God, the better you know His Word, and the closer youContinue reading “In Step with the Spirit”
Choosing What Is Eternal
When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it? For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind. But a headache is temporal. It’s very real pain I have to go through right now, but it’s not going to follow me toContinue reading “Choosing What Is Eternal”

Prayer for Daughters and Parents
Lord, please grow our daughters up to love You with all their hearts. Protect them from the plots of the enemy to harm their bodies, hearts and minds and to draw them away from You.
