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 →
He Called the Church
Tonight I was at Awakening, a community prayer group focused on praying for the region weekly. During corporate prayer, I was praying for those things that God placed on my heart. I have a burden for the lost, children who are abused, families, and marriages. I have experienced a stirring lately in the real issues... Continue Reading →
The Samaritan
The deeper lesson of the Luke 10:30-37 is found in I John 3:17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Sowing Seeds
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. I thought about the things that I want to see in the life of those I love and in the life of those I work with daily. I want good things for them all. A true relationship with Christ, love,... Continue Reading →

Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. I often hear this verse in the context of "God's still working on me." We are clay in the Potter's Hand. He is shaping us and molding us,... Continue Reading →
Open the Floodgates
As we were in praise and worship tonight singing "Let it Rain, Let it rain, open the floodgates of Heaven" it occurred to me that typically I personally sing this sing talking about my own life. Thinking "God pour out your Spirit in my life. Open the flood gates of Heaven in my life." It... Continue Reading →
The promises of God
Genesis 9:13-16 I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every... Continue Reading →
