Surrendered

Surrender is an action verb (used with object) meaning to give (oneself) up, or to give (oneself) up to some influence, course, emotion, etc. Surrender is the hallmark of Christianity, and yet most of us really struggle with the idea of surrender, even though our walk with God started with it. When we live a surrendered life, God is able to work in and through us. What Satan means to destroy us, God will use as a testimony. I can’t say that I live a totally surrendered life. There are times I get it right, and other times I fail miserably.

Take up Your Cross

The New Testament is filled with "take up your cross" Scriptures: Matthew 10:38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. " Mark 8:34... Continue Reading →

Letting Go

Many people walk through life with a grudge, waiting for those who hurt them to come and say “I am sorry.”  “I was wrong.”  “I shouldn’t have done _________.”  “Please forgive me.” “Let me make it up to you.”  While these are all great things for someone who has hurt someone to do, they are...

The Same Sacrafice

Numbers 7:12-88 As I read from Numbers this morning, I admit (It could have been that it was three a.m.) to being a little critical of what I read.   I thought "Why am I reading these same words twelve times in ONE chapter, and then it is finished off with a sum of all those... Continue Reading →

God’s Perspective

I often pray "God, help me to see that person as you see them so I can love them with your love." I think that God gives me glimpses of others, but this week He gave me a true view from His Word. I have been reading in Exodus during my morning devotion and got a view of God's perspective.

Awaken Us

Today I had the opportunity to sit in a local church that was distributing assistance to those in need. When I drove up the place was packed with cars.  People were coming in and out, talking among themselves and eating and drinking refreshments that were provided.  Honestly,  it looked like most churches, most Sundays. I... Continue Reading →

The Gate of Hell

As we broke out tonight into smaller prayer circles at Awakening, one of the pastors from another church shared a word and encouraged us in our need to be Steadfast.  Strong activity in the spiritual realm often looks like nothing in the natural for a while. As we were praying, God gave me a vision... Continue Reading →

Families in Poverty

I  find  it  interesting  how  you  can  hear  something  so  much  that  you  are  desensitized from  it,  and  then  you  hear  it,  as  if  for  the  first  time  and  you  are  just  moved  by  the fact.   My daughter was sharing with me a conversation with her classmates.  A young man came in with a...

Fallen

Last night I was watching Olympus has Fallen with my husband. I started thinking about it from a spiritual perspective.   I became overwhelmed by the picture that played out before me.   As a nation, we have allowed small compromises to spiral out of control.  We are oblivious to the fact that we have allowed the...

Ministering where they are

My pastor has said “truth either offends or transforms you.”  It is my experience that sometimes it is in the delivery of the truth that offense comes.  When you go to people where they are, it is the living Word ablaze in your life that ministers to them.  The Word must be planted deep inside...
