Walking Toward Oneness

When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Walking Toward Oneness”

Kingdoms Pass

In light of all the evil conquests of several world leaders at this time, let’s take comfort from this truth: “All people are like grass,    and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;the grass withers and the flowers fall,   but the word of the Lord endures forever.” 1 Peter 1:24-25 NIV Kingdoms rise andContinue reading “Kingdoms Pass”

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?”

Blessing Our Family Time

Lord, be our Shield. Protect us and our loved ones from harm. Don’t let the enemy spoil our time together, but cut him out of the meeting.

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”

Step Out of the World and into My Mind

My beloved child, I see your need to belong, to be accepted by those you look up to or want to be around, to be seen as someone important in their lives. You want them to like you, include you, see you as one of them, so you mold your viewpoints around theirs and stepContinue reading “Step Out of the World and into My Mind”

Arrests in Hong Kong

After the arrest on Wednesday of several public figures, including Cardinal Zen, who has been fighting for the survival of the Catholic Church in Hong Kong, let’s pray….
