Do Your Prayers Seem to Go Unanswered?

At times it may seem like we are not being heard. Just like at other times it may seem like we can't hear God. But, the Word teaches us in 1 John 5:14, 15 that we can have CONFIDENCE that when we pray according to His will, He does HEAR US! And if He hears [...]

Are You Praying for Your Church?

I have bowls of what I like to refer to as "nature treasures" around our home. Little things we have picked up when on vacation or just on a walk as a family and I like to date them so we have memories of our many adventures. This sweet little acorn we received at a [...]

Faith is of the Heart, Not the Mind

Did you know that you cannot operate in faith from your mind? That's why you can have FAITH in your HEART while you still have some DOUBT in your BRAIN. That's why we, too, can say, "Lord, I DO BELIEVE, help my UNBELIEF." (Mark 9:24) Faith doesn't make sense to your physical brain because it [...]

Don’t You Just LOVE a FRESH START?

Don’t you just LOVE a new beginning?  A FRESH START?! A new day, week, month, or year? Even though February was a longer month this year, I still can't believe two months of the New Year are GONE! We could so easily slide into the despair of “where did the time go?” OR we can [...]

How I know God Doesn’t Take our Loved Ones

The thought that “God took my loved one” is a subtle attempt of the enemy to bring you a thought error that could cause you in your time of grief to pull away from God and His comfort instead of pressing into Him! I think some may feel a false sense of peace because they [...]

Happy 2024!

Many times I have a Word or a phrase or a verse from the Lord to direct the New Year, but my heart keeps coming back to the Word I heard this past fall. In September 2023, on the Jewish Day of Rosh Hashanah, the head of the Jewish year, began Year #5784 The Year [...]

Unto Us

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." Isaiah 9:6 Unto us! Jesus came unto US! From before the very foundation of the world, Jesus consented to come UNTO US! Even before Adam and Eve committed treason in the garden, Jesus gave His YES! Even before the first sin was [...]

Should You Tithe From Your Business, Ministry, or Church?

My question would be...WHY NOT? 🙂 When we tithe personally, we are aligning ourselves with God's best for us and showing Him that we honor and understand that HE is our Provider. As an entrepreneur or the head of a church or organization, you probably receive a salary from that entity and can and should [...]

Thankful IN it all!

See this girl right here? I'm really proud of her! This is me standing backstage watching worship in a hidden hallway completely alone unaware the cameraman walked by. I was spending time thanking God before I stepped on a stage to share my marriage restoration testimony. It took courage, vulnerability, and honesty. It took pressing [...]

Why We Don’t Ask God For Faith, but We Feed Our Faith by Hearing

As believers, the Bible tells us that we ALREADY have the God-kind of faith residing in us. We don’t have to ask Him for faith, His faith resides in us whenever we hear the Word. Romans 10:17 "So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ." It is only by hearing the [...]
