People Need the Power of God

When we are concerned or uncomfortable about allowing the Holy Spirit to move in a service, we have forgotten the power of God is not about us. It’s about the people. It’s about the world and the church and allowing people to experience freedom. In the Gospels, we see Jesus, touching, healing, and delivering people [...]

Did You Know It’s Okay to Enjoy a Simple Life?

Did you know that it's okay to enjoy a simple life? I know it sounds so contrary to this rush, work, hustle culture that we are immersed in, but does any of this resonate with you? I know in my experience, even as a former pastor's wife and church being a huge part of our [...]

Are You Believing For Your Harvest?

While it's true that we shouldn't give with the sole motivation of what we will get in return, any farmer who sows seed into good ground would be quite foolish NOT to expect a return on his investment. There is a difference between TITHING and GIVING. The tithe is what we PAY back to God. [...]

Was it Really “Church Hurt”?

The term "church hurt" is all too common today to describe how people have been wronged. ***Disclaimer- if you were abused by people who were an authority you were once submitted to, I do not discredit your pain one bit. People in authority in ANY organization must be held accountable for their actions. And sadly, [...]

Sunday’s Coming!

I don't know what you're dealing with today, but I know God is working behind the scenes. It's always the darkest right before the dawn! God is rarely early, never late, and always on time! He is not a man who could lie. His Word is His will, and it WILL COME TO PASS! Get [...]

Were We Wronged or Righted?

When someone wrongs us, have we been wronged? Or can we dig a little deeper and see how we have actually been "righted"? 1 Cor. 4,5 teaches that "Love, (the God kind of love that now resides inside of us) *parentheses mine* is longsuffering and kind (wow, that's a challenge to still be kind while [...]

Are You Prepared For Battle?

How prepared are YOU for battle? Let's be honest, there WILL BE battles. This is not a negative mindset. Jesus said there WILL BE tests, trials, and tribulations IN THIS LIFE. But also, that HE has OVERCOME THEM ALL. What do we see in the Word that Jesus did in practical terms? We read over [...]

Faith is Believing He Will

"And behold, a leper came to Him, and bowed down before Him saying, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean. And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, 'I am willing; be cleansed.' And immediately his leprosy was cleansed." (Matt. 8:2,3) This man knew Jesus HAD THE POWER to change [...]

Do You Think Highly of Yourself?

I read an article today that spoke of all the ways you can show your employees that they are valued. It stated that when people FEEL VALUED they are more likely to do MORE than what is expected of them. And that their employees' HAPPINESS comes from feeling VALUED and not just EMPLOYED. While this [...]

Which Report Are YOU Believing?

Have you ever heard someone say that they are going back to the doctor, but that they are "believing for a good report?" Or they may even ask you to pray and believe with them for a "good report." While this may sound good, it's a subtle error that could be holding them back from [...]
