A Prayer for Fathers
My dad is an amazing prayer warrior man of God. He has spent his life loving others over and beyond, even moving his family to a poverty-stricken country to share God’s love with those who hadn’t experienced it yet. I am who I am today because he showed me Jesus, and because I grew upContinue reading “A Prayer for Fathers”
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”
Worship in the Midst of Trials
With all the disheartening news, in the midst of all our pain, anxiety, and anger, we choose to worship…. Oh, Jesus, great are You and worthy to be praised. For You were there before the beginning of time, and all things were formed by Your hand. It is in You that we move and breatheContinue reading “Worship in the Midst of Trials”
Which Side Are You On?
My bride must pick My side in these days to come or she will not make it through. These days will be like no other days ever experienced on Earth. For the evil is deepening, the darkness growing thicker, as it connects together all across the globe. My light must be stronger. My bride mustContinue reading “Which Side Are You On?”
Stand for What is Right
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”
