Still My Focus
Being still isn’t easy. Especially when the demands of this world press against us.

Surrendering 2022 to the Lord
We have a Sovereign One who holds our future in His hands. It’s not the president of a nation or any other governing party, whether evil or good. It’s the God Who loves us.

Look in My Eyes
Yesterday, 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 who runsContinue reading “Look in My Eyes”
What’s Holding You Back?
Let’s leave behind the strongholds that have bound us, and do what it takes to run in the joy of the Spirit’s leading, so we can draw others into His love. A stronghold is a thought process or sin that has such a “strong hold” on you, it controls your reactions rather than the HolyContinue reading “What’s Holding You Back?”
