Some Things Must Not Be Compromised
Nearly every day in the news we hear of one more way a church or Christian leader has compromised, embracing worldly viewpoints and sin, bowing to those idols. This is nothing new.

Repentance and Humility
James 4:10 Lord, we have wandered far from You.

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.

Rise Up and 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 toContinue reading “Rise Up and Overthrow”

Courage to Forgive
Is there anyone I haven’t forgiven yet? Show me, please, Lord, and give me courage to forgive. Forgiveness is not saying that what the offender did is okay. Sin is never okay.

Joyfully One
A few nights ago I had a dream in which God’s people gathered from all nations to daily have breakfast together.

They were laughing, each seated wherever they were inContinue reading “Joyfully One”
Seeing through Love’s Eyes
Misunderstandings are one of the enemy’s favorite tactics for dividing relationships, especially marriages. If he can plant thoughts in our mind about hidden motives or meanings behind what someone says, then he has tricked us into obeying his lead, rather than the Spirit’s. Such “mind-reading” is dangerous because of James 4:11-12 and Matthew 7:1-5. OnlyContinue reading “Seeing through Love’s Eyes”
Joy and Freedom
Love. Joy. Peace. Abundant life. These are ours through Christ. Galatians 5:22-23, John 10:10. Lord, what has been blocking me from more of You? If You are my Peace, then why am I so anxious?

Driving Out Fear
These past couple of weeks, we’ve been praying through Isaiah 51.

Protection, Courage, Empowering
