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”
Loving the Hard-to-Love
Did you face conflicts over the last few days? Today’s prayer is from Romans 12:9-21: Lord, make our love sincere. Teach us to hate what is evil; and cling to what is good.

What walls stand within your family? And what part have you played in the distancing? Have you asked those loved ones to forgive you yet? Pride is at the heart of every argument.

All Is Not Lost. Stand Up and Fight!
As narratives rage in media these days — some false and some true — and so many with evil intentions vie for control and seem like they’re winning by earthly standards, it’s easy to feel hopeless, like any fight against this present darkness is to no avail. It is not. There is a stand weContinue reading “All Is Not Lost. Stand Up and Fight!”

Overcoming Conflict God’s Way
What conflicts do you face these days? How have you responded? When you have a problem with someone, do you attack? Avoid? Talk to other people about it? Find a way to get them back? Don’t do that! One way the enemy gets us to do his dirty work is through saying bad things about someone,Continue reading “Overcoming Conflict God’s Way”
Set Apart … to LOVE
What has your mind dwelt on lately? What subject has moved you into heated conversations? And how are you shining Christ? There are topics the world has taken on that may not be what God is saying or the focus He wants us to have as His bride. He has given us one task: MatthewContinue reading “Set Apart … to LOVE”
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”

Fighting to Follow
The more we surrender to Christ and walk as one with Him, the greater resistance we will experience not just from the world, but from within the church. Have you felt it yet? We have a real enemy. But it is not the verses that don’t fit into our agendas. And it’s not the brotherContinue reading “Fighting to Follow”
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”
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”
Wings to Soar
As Valentine’s Day nears, take some time to ask the Lord how you’re doing with love. In what ways has the enemy used you to weary, slander, attack or hurt the one you love? How have you allowed the troubles of this world to consume your thoughts and determine how you feel and act? HasContinue reading “Wings to Soar”
