Listen to God
If you believe you can’t hear God, you won’t. Even though He’s speaking to you all the time. Even though He’s showing you the way. Even though He’s holding out to you so many treasures and beautiful surprises of His love. Even though He has clearly marked the way for you so that you cannotContinue reading “Listen to God”
Believe Me
I have not stopped moving. I have not stopped speaking. When did you stop moving with Me? When did you stop listening? I’m right here where I’ve always been, doing the things I always do. When did you step off who the Word says I am and believe whatever you think makes you feel betterContinue reading “Believe Me”

New things are coming. New winds are blowing. I’m talking more and more. Can you hear Me? Can you see Me moving? Can you feel My touch? I am real. And I am here, right where I’ve always been, calling you to come. Walk with Me. I know things have been hard, and at thisContinue reading “Walk with Me”
Step Back in
The future is changing. But My love never changes. What did I call you to that you never stepped out to do because so many other things in life got in the way? If I open the door for you now, walk on through. If not, your calling is not in vain. For I haveContinue reading “Step Back in”
It’s All About Me
The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through. Whatever you’re holding onto — grudges, financial security, selfish desires, lust — whatever you’ve been spending your time, thoughts and efforts on that I have not called you to — you must let go now. ItContinue reading “It’s All About Me”
One Way Through This
Time is running out. The forces of darkness and those who serve them are watching you. You must rise up and love. No more room for pride. Lay it down. All your opinions and ideas at My feet.

No More Room for Pride
Time is short. The powers of darkness and the people who serve them are watching us. We can no longer allow Pride to rule us. Only surrender to Love will win this fight. And He asked me to share with you this story: One time, there weren’t enough microphones for our worship team, so theContinue reading “No More Room for Pride”

I understand your frustration and fear. I am here. And I love you. Just because you’re not seeing the results you thought you would doesn’tContinue reading “Let Me Empower You”
Courage to Stand
Mighty Warrior. When the Lord called Gideon that, it felt like a lie. He’d just been caught in the act of hiding his hard-earned wages so the new guys in charge wouldn’t seize everything his family needed to survive. Judges 6:1-12. Aren’t we God’s people? Isn’t this the nation He founded for Himself? How couldContinue reading “Courage to Stand”
A Prayer for Young People
Lord, we ask You for our youth, that You will give them a hunger for You. Ground them deep in faith. When they call to You, answer them, O God, in powerful ways.

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. You do most definitely have an enemy.

Lives Saved in Afghanistan
As we thank God this week for His blessings, let’s also thank Him for answered prayers for Afghanistan, for those who have been rescued from danger and for the courageous people who have been involved in those rescues. Most of these stories cannot be told publicly for security reasons, but here is one beautifully re-writtenContinue reading “Lives Saved in Afghanistan”

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

To go ahead and make that granola, butContinue reading “Still My Focus”

Don’t Let Mistakes Rule You
This morning the Lord woke me up pointing to all the many ways He invites us to freedom, but we refuse to listen. Has that happened to you? Has someone confronted you on a sin, but you argued in self-defense? Gave all the more excuses for why you need to do that? Blamed someone else?Continue reading “Don’t Let Mistakes Rule You”

Oneness
When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?” The truth is we all haveContinue reading “Oneness”

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?”
Don’t Lose Hope
Prayer matters. People of God, this is how we fight. Ephesians 6:10-20. When this Prayer Wall began in July of 2020, I had a dream that our government was trashed. There were listening devices, like headphones and wires and other large items all over the ground in disarray at the entrance to the structure ofContinue reading “Don’t Lose Hope”
Wedding Planner
This is the continuation of a word from the Lord for His bride: The bride is not the wedding planner. I am. That wedding is coming sooner than you think. All must be surrendered to Me. To be united with Me means to be divided from the world, rejected by those who do not surrender.Continue reading “Wedding Planner”
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.

Turn to Me (Prayer for Afghanistan and the World)

Rise up and LOVE
What earthly causes have made you anxious or angry these days? The Lord is calling us now to rise up out of our fear and hatred. And LOVE. The issues we are fighting about are of this earth.

Do Not Fear. Come Up Here.
Today, I feel the Lord bringing us back to this word from Him originally posted May 18, 2021: My child, I know it’s been hard. I’ve seen what you’re going through.

Headache or Heaven
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 “Headache or Heaven”
Toppling Idols
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 “Toppling Idols”
Throng Before the Throne
In my quiet time one day, the Lord gave me a vision. As I worshipped Him before His throne, He said to me, “Turn around.” I turned to see thousands of people joining me there at His feet in worship.

My Promise Still Stands
As we passed the one year mark since beginning this Prayer Wall, the Lord has taken me back to those prayers and dreams from 2020.

A Prayer from Isaiah 51:6
Lord, in the midst of the trying circumstances so many of us are facing right now, lift our eyes up to look to You. This earth is passing away. Our time here is so short.

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?

The Great Invitation
As we came up on our one-year anniversary of the Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening 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. The Great Invitation. NotContinue reading “The Great Invitation”
The Miracle of Mercy
As I pray for those still in danger in Afghanistan, I am reminded of our own escape from the closed country where we served the Lord for many years. Everything changed in an instant.

Salvation and Restoration – Psalm 80
O Lord, we have wandered so far from You, each one to our own ways, and we have brought destruction down upon ourselves because of our waywardness.

Living for the MORE
“There is more to this life than the money, the house, the status, the strongholds you cling to so desperately that leave you empty. There’s a reason for your loneliness, anxious thoughts, emptiness.

The minute we begin attacking God’s people, we have switched sides. Revelation 12:10-12. Feeling justified in our attacks against others is a normal enemy tactic.Continue reading “Off My High Horse and on My Face”
