God’s Will Be Done

Fissures – small, barely visible cracks, usually found in rock. Over time with applied stress, these cracks grow larger and larger. They grow so large that whatever once had small fissures eventually separates into pieces, changing its original shape, strength and size. It is no longer the same, nor can it ever be again. This […]

The Word of God Comforts

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 AMP Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and encouragement and the good [well-founded] hope [of salvation] by His grace, comfort and encourage and strengthen your hearts [keeping them steadfast and on course] in every good work and word.

Stand in Truth

The truth is in us because God is in us. As we encounter truth, it is confirmed by the Holy Spirit, and this strengthens us if we receive it with a renewed mind. Our old mind and old way of doing things won’t recognize life in the truth or cause us to engage in it. […]

Reaching for Life

Acts 17:27, 28(part) NKJV … so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, … I saw a picture of people reaching out for […]

Holding onto the Joy of the Lord

A friend recently shared a victory that demands more praise than we give it. We often consider it a victory when we win something we didn’t have before. But what about when we simply don’t lose? What about when we don’t let the enemy take what God has generously given to us? My friend shared […]

I have the beautiful privilege of joining others at our church for weekly prayer night. I appreciate seeing the different prayer gifts and enjoying unique experiences as we pray. We have […]

Let God Take Your Hand and Lead You

Let God take your hand and lead you. I’ve heard this many times and honestly, I couldn’t picture doing this in a real-life scenario. I’d begin to picture God taking my hand and then I quickly stopped the thought because if God had to take my hand, then we must be going through something huge […]

Transferring Hope

Romans 15:13 NKJV Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. As children of God, we are called to walk a life of faith, hope and love. Without the life of Christ in us, we […]

Assembling Together

Have you ever found yourself weary in the good fight of faith? Maybe you were doing everything you knew to do in a given situation and all that was left to do was stand, but you were tired. Your legs got heavy. You weren’t quitting but it was getting hard to bravely carry on. At […]

Free to Be Free

Jesus paid a high price for us to be free. We can have freedom from sin, sickness and death because Jesus made a way. We need to see ourselves redeemed the way Jesus truly redeemed us. As we line ourselves up with what He has done, we find we are forgiven, we are healed, and […]
