Have you ever had the Lord give you a word or a phrase for the new year? One that when you heard it your spirit man got excited or it just seemed to resonate with you? God often speaks to us through His word or through our pastors or spiritual parents giving us direction, correction, [...]

His Hearing = Your Having
Have you prayed about a situation in your life according to God's promise? It says in 1 John 5:14,15 that when we pray in faith He hears us, and if He hears us we can know that we have the requests we have made. When we pray about something we are releasing our faith and [...]
God Sees You
Today as I sat outside of a dressing room, waiting for my 17-year-old daughter while she tried on clothes, God saw me. I've been at this mothering game for more than 20 years now, and although with each passing year one gains confidence in their abilities to mother and meet the needs of their most [...]
Just One Day!
One day an entire nation had been held in slavery for 400 years, but the next day they were FREE, HEALED, and RICH! One day a young man was enslaved and wrongly imprisoned for 13 years, the next day he was the leader of a nation! One day a man had been lying dead in [...]
What We Pour In Will Eventually Come Out
If I'm feeling discouraged or hear words of doubt, unbelief, or frustration in my head or coming out of my mouth, it's a red flag to me that I've not been meditating on the Word as much as I need to. Because what we pour in will eventually come out and when the wrong thing [...]
The Answers We Need Are in Our Spirits
We make an appointment with a counselor or trusted mentor when we are seeking answers for our lives, right? Seeking counsel = seeking answers. This verse is saying that the answers we are needing are actually in our spirit man; in our hearts. But we must make the effort to dip down and draw it [...]
Training Up a Child Means Being Their Example
Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he's old he will not depart from it." Many parents love to quote this promise from God's word, but if we are not actively keeping the command of training, then we cannot expect to claim the second part of the [...]
It’s OK To Move On
God's command to love everyone doesn't mean He expects us to be a doormat to people's lack of skill in walking in love and their poor behavior. Not everyone deserves the right to access your heart. We are called to LOVE our enemies and to PRAY for those who use us, but it's ok to [...]
God Is Not Moved By Needs
If you want to see that situation in your life change, then you've got to stop acting like a double agent, reporting to God everything the enemy whispers to you about it! He cannot work with that. He can only respond to faith-filled words. The Word says that Jesus is our advocate (our lawyer) seated [...]
Be You!
Sometimes we see others doing the exact thing we ourselves are called to do. It's so tempting to compare ourselves to others and feel like we don't measure up. Remember that what you may see in them today is what has taken them years to grow in and gain skill. It's great to have wonderful [...]
