Isaiah 51:12b-13a How many times have you made decisions based on fear? And how many times have you seen those in leadership making decisions not based on truth or wisdom, but on fear of man? Let’s pray for those needing freedom from anxiety and fear, that the Lord will expose every enemy lie and tearContinue reading “Fear the Lord, not Man – Isaiah 51:12-13”

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”
Encouragement to Stand
Today, I feel the Lord speaking to our hearts from Isaiah 40. “I have a plan through this. I know you can’t see around the other bend, and what you think might be waiting for you there scares you. But trust Me. I know what I’m doing. I know what’s up there ahead. And aroundContinue reading “Encouragement to Stand”
Love as He First Loved
Pray we will love as He first loved us. 1 John 4:19. A word from the Lord to encourage us as we pray… It’s not for nothing. All that you do for Me. I see it. But more than that, they see it. Don’t gauge your worth by their response. They are filled with theContinue reading “Love as He First Loved”
Love as He First Loved
We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4:19 All that you do for the Lord is not for nothing. He sees it. But more than that, they can see it. Don’t gauge your worth by others’ responses.

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”
Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me
Our world is barreling fast into places of no return. We must throw off our sin and the thoughts that spiral us out of control, rise up and walk with the Lord now, as one with Him, or we may not make it through what is to come. The days are coming when you mustContinue reading “Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me”
How Are You Doing So Far?
What new year’s resolutions did you make for 2023? And how are you doing with those already? Have busyness, laziness or weariness already brought you down? Have those habitual sins you swore you’d walk away from already pressed back in? And what about anxiety and depression? How are you doing with those? Of all theContinue reading “How Are You Doing So Far?”
A Prayer from Romans 12
Whatever your plans are for this year, take a moment to lay them all down before the Lord and pray for 2023 to be His in your family’s life. Lord, awaken our hearts with fervor to worship You.

A Prayer for the New Year
Lord, open up our eyes to see as You see, to not be distracted by other things in our view that move us away from You. Please, God, get up in our face. Invade our space.

God’s Word for Your 2023

Looking Back, Up, Forward
Yesterday, we began a series of posts for seeking God’s covering and guidance in the coming year.

What were some of the thingsContinue reading “Looking Back, Up, Forward”
Powering Up for 2023
As hard as 2022 has been, this next year will see its own trials. Are you prepared? Prayer is your pathway through. New year’s resolutions will not get you where the Lord is taking you.

Better Not Pout
Sometimes, even when God has given us so much, we end up pouting because of something else we want that we can’t have. Does that sound familiar? Is there something you’ve been longing for He hasn’t given you yet? How has that blocked you in your faith? It may be a valid desire, even oneContinue reading “Better Not Pout”
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”
