(Exodus 6-15) As they break unleavened bread, drink wine and speak of salvation, let’s pray they will know the Bread of Life, the perfect Lamb of GodContinue reading “Passover Begins”

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? Are your thoughts, words and posts laced with bitterness, judgment and slander, rather than the love, joy and peace that belong to those who walk in the Spirit? (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”
Faith and Moral Values
Let’s pray today for God to restore what has been lost, to rebuild our families and culture with truth, faith and love. So much propaganda is happening on children’s channels, in schools, in the news and all across social media to tell us that what is wrong is right, and what is evil is good.Continue reading “Faith and Moral Values”
Power in Surrender
What has God asked you to do this year that feels beyond your capability? Have you said “Yes” yet? Don’t decide whether or not to obey the Lord based on your perceived abilities or inadequacies. If He calls you to teach, ask Him to teach through you. If He tells you to give sacrificially, trustContinue reading “Power in Surrender”
Refugee Finds Jesus After Narrowly Escaping Death Twice

Make the way for Christians toContinue reading “Refugee Finds Jesus After Narrowly Escaping Death Twice”

Awakening: The Great Invitation
One night, about a year after we were forced to flee the dark area of the world where we’d been serving the Lord, I awakened over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge: Go higher….Press deeper….Push further….Higher up…. Awakening. TheContinue reading “Awakening: The Great Invitation”
