Step Up into My Arms

A powerful word from the Lord today for those of us feeling a bit beat up in the battle: Step up. Not with hopeful goals to better yourself that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because youContinue reading “Step Up into My Arms”

Walking Toward 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 “Walking Toward Oneness”

Mending Breaches

Pride is at the heart of every argument. Make sure it’s not yours.  It’s important in any conflict to ask the Lord what part we ourselves have played in the problem, and be quick to ask forgiveness. Especially in our families and with our children, no matter what age. As we model humility and love, our childrenContinue reading “Mending Breaches”

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. So many mothers and children in Ukraine have been injured and killed, especially after Russia bombed a maternity and children’sContinue reading “Do Not Fear”

Joyfully One

A few nights ago I had a dream in which God’s people gathered from all nations to daily have breakfast together. There was no distinction between races, cultures or portions, but all were of one Kingdom, one family, and all received the same perfectly proportioned manna-cake. 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”

Step Up

Step up. Not with New Year’s resolutions that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because you failed. No. The “stepping up” I am calling you to is stepping out of yourself and up into Me. I knowContinue reading “Step Up”

Deepen Our Love

Let’s make this celebration of Christ’s birth memorable because of how we choose to?LOVE. Lord, help us lay down all our grudges, fears, pride and regrets, so we can LOVE, even as You first loved us. Set us free from the things that hold us back from more of…

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”

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”
