Where Do You Run To?

When difficultly comes where do you run to? Proverbs 18:10 says, “The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” The solution to every problem, every need, and every desire of our heart is found in Him. Yes it’s that simple. The problem is we want the quick fix. Instead of running to God, we run to a person, to a substance, to anything that will fill us, stop the pain, or […]

Things Are Going to be “Different”

At the end of last year I heard the Lord say, “Things are going to be different.” This is was in answer to my prayer asking God what 2023 would hold. As I heard those words, some things I had been praying and believing for flashed before my eyes and I knew this was where the different would take place. But different is so vague… scary even…because different means change. And while we all claim to love change, we really […]

Not Just a Dollar Bill

I found this dollar bill under a palm tree on the side of the road as I was jogging the other day. I almost missed it, covered in dust and blending in with the ground, but as I jogged I felt drawn to look and there it was. Many will look and say, “It’s just a dollar bill,” not very useful these days, and maybe not worth talking about. But to me, it’s a reminder of God’s goodness and faithfulness in my […]

When Our Heart Knows

Did you ever know something in your heart but your head just wouldn’t listen? Most times we know in our hearts without a doubt that something is not good for us. Maybe it’s a behavior, a repetitive cycle in our lives, or even a relationship. We won’t get into the why’s now, but we just know it’s not adding to our life and only taking away. In our heart, we may know that a relationship is unhealthy for us, but […]

Reflecting God to the World

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27 Men and women of God who understand who they were created to be are powerful forces in the Kingdom of Heaven. And we’re even more powerful when working together, respecting and honoring each other’s unique and God-given design. God created both man and woman in His image so that we would be a reflection of Him. […]

Provision for the Mission

Last week, I was taking my daily walk and saw string beans scattered every few feet on the dirt road near my home. Most of them were crushed from being run over by vehicles, and I wondered where they had come from. Two days later I was walking with my husband and a huge truck overflowing with string beans sped past me. Beans were bouncing out of the truck onto the road. Mystery solved. At first, I thought, “Wow this […]

Jealousy & Envy – Guest Post by Rob Sparrow

Jealousy & Envy…The two are very different. The first, jealousy, is born out of a desire to protect something a person has or maintain possession of something they already own. A man is jealous of other men because he may love his wife or girlfriend. Jealousy is possessiveness and may lead to control, rivalry, strife, and contention.  The second, envy, is disliking someone because of wanting something another person has. It is not liking someone because they have what is […]

A Consecrated Life – A Word for the Body of Christ

After praying and laboring over this word for the last several weeks the Lord has finally released me to share it and I do so with the fear of the Lord in obedience to Him. As you read this I implore you to read the scripture passages in this post and not skip over them because they’re imperative to the word the Lord gave me. It’s His Word that stands forever. Let’s pray before we continue, Father, I pray that […]
