Completely His

No Competition
Do you struggle with feeling like you don’t measure up, especially when you’re around those who are strong in the Lord? Like your relationship with God is somehow inferior?

Pray for Men in Ministry
It’s easy to get so busy with even good causes that we forget the eternal thing that matters most: LOVE.

How muchContinue reading “Pray for Men in Ministry”

You Are Not Your Sin
“Yes, thank you. I believe I will!” Often when the enemy passes us yet another round of temptation, we’re so distracted by the latest drama in our lives, we mindlessly agree.

Come Out from There! – Isaiah 52
The Lord woke me up one morning, quoting from Isaiah 52, especially verses 11-12. I felt Him calling us to freedom.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back

Do You Measure Up?
Our kids tend to lean on God the same way they lean on us. So, if we’re telling them all the ways they don’t measure up, they’re likely to see God as displeased with them, as well.

Walking Toward Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem?

International Day for the Unreached
Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the gospel? That’s right. About 3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name.

Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekers risk theirContinue reading “International Day for the Unreached”

Rest in Me
My beloved bride, today I’m calling you to rest in Me. Don’t be like the wife who rushes about to please her Husband, doing things I never asked you to do and missing out on the one thing that matters. Luke 10:38-42. Come, sit with Me awhile.

Only One Way Through This
Tensions are high these days. It’s easy to take your anger out on those you love. Please don’t do it. They are not your enemy. Nor is that person you’re so angry about and all those whose opinions differ from yours. You do most definitely have an enemy. But if you’ve been lashing out atContinue reading “Only One Way Through This”
What Keeps the Called from Their Calling

Do Not Fear. Rise Up and Live Your Purpose
Join us May 1 for the National Day of Prayer. With all that’s going on these days, has the enemy been sidetracking you from God’s purposes?

(GalatiansContinue reading “Do Not Fear. Rise Up and Live Your Purpose”
Freedom through Forgiveness
In yesterday’s post, the Lord was calling us as His people to open wide our hearts to forgive, to let Him set us free from the old offenses the enemy still uses to yank us around, so bitterness and fear will no longer control our reactions, but LOVE, grace and peace will. Mark 11:25, RomansContinue reading “Freedom through Forgiveness”
Forgive
This morning, I felt the Lord leading us back to forgiveness. Matthew 6:14-15; Psalm 32:1-5; Romans 12:17-21 When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for all our sin — from the tiniest infraction to that monstrous mistake we still regret. So, if our mile-high debt has been forgiven entirely, why are we so botheredContinue reading “Forgive”

The Time for Freedom is Now
What have you felt lately that is outside of love, joy and peace? What was the situation that triggered that response? We must realign our thoughts with Truth if we are to truly be free.

How Self-Protection Endangers Us
It’s easy to fall back into old habits, putting up walls against how we imagine someone might hurt us. But when we seek to self-protect, we will fail. Every time. We’re just not equipped for that God-sized job. Coming out from under our Protector’s covering to try to do His job ourselves only leaves usContinue reading “How Self-Protection Endangers Us”

Overcoming Conflict God’s Way
What conflicts do you face these days? How have you responded? When you have a problem with someone, do you attack? Avoid? Talk to other people about it? Find a way to get them back? Don’t do that! One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone,Continue reading “Overcoming Conflict God’s Way”
Off My High Horse and on My Face
A real-live battle between good and evil rages, and we are in the midst of it. Ephesians 6:10-12. We have a real enemy, and it’s not our brother or sister.

What Made You Give In?
A few days ago, I fell asleep while writing at this Prayer Wall and dreamed that a woman who long had resisted temptation gave up and gave in … all the way. It didn’t happen overnight. The enemy had been chipping away at her faith for years. She fought valiantly at first, believing God’s WordContinue reading “What Made You Give In?”
Removing Whitewash
What has been keeping you from greater oneness with Christ? Do you know? All of us have sins and wrong thought processes we’ve allowed the enemy to slip into our habitual reactions. It’s easy not to recognize them because they feel so “normal” to us. That’s because the enemy has whitewashed them with lies. SomeContinue reading “Removing Whitewash”
Take Off the Blinders
This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the first, people walked about with blinders on that covered not only their eyes but the whole face. Inside, they cried out to be seen for who they truly were. But with their own faces covered and with others’ blinders on, asContinue reading “Take Off the Blinders”
What Keeps the Called from Their Calling

The Overcoming
As I asked the Lord today what He wanted to say to His body, this is what He led me to share*: I’m here with you. I know this life has been hard. I know what your past has held and how many questions you have asked about why it had to happen. And IContinue reading “The Overcoming”
Don’t Run Away; Run Into His Arms
A comforting word from the Lord for us today: My child, I know it’s been hard. I’ve seen what you’re going through. In fact, I knew it would happen before it ever did, and I have a plan for bringing the good out of what the enemy meant for evil. Don’t run away, or theContinue reading “Don’t Run Away; Run Into His Arms”
Idols Down
One morning, the Lord awakened me to the song Endless Alleluia, and a vision of idols toppling to the ground on their faces. He spoke to me about how so often we try to “fix” our “problem” somehow on our own, as if our willpower is strong enough. It’s not, of course. You and IContinue reading “Idols Down”
Restoring Broken Connections
Have you ever reached out to someone, wanting a deeper connection, but they didn’t take you up on that invitation? As you shared your heart, did they look at their watch? Check their social media notifications? Talk over you? Walk out of the room? It’s not uncommon. But what the Lord was asking me toContinue reading “Restoring Broken Connections”
Help Us Stand, Lord
I felt the Lord asking me to share with you this illustration (in the photo) He gave me urging us to not give up the fight, as we pray for our nation and the world.

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”
Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me
Our world is barreling fast into places of no return. We must throw off our sin and the thoughts that spiral us out of control, rise up and walk with the Lord now, as one with Him, or we may not make it through what is to come. The days are coming when you mustContinue reading “Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me”
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”
May Our Homes Be Filled with Love
Lord, please fill our homes with Your presence and Your love. Set us free from the sins and wrong thought processes that make it difficult for our children to see You as You truly are.

For the Anxious Heart
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.

Join us Thursday, March 23, for 30 Days of Prayer for Global Awakening.

Do Not Fear
I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”
The Battle for Life
We’ve been praying for Ukraine and the world, but is your family or someone you know also facing a battle of their own at this time?
