I was reading today about a faithful man of God named Stephen in Acts 6:5, Stephen is described as “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.” He was one of the seven men chosen to help distribute food to the widows in the early church when the Apostles realized that they needed […]
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) I must admit, this is one of those scriptures where a “check mark” rises up in my soul, it’s an area that needs refinement, one that I continue to try and work on, […]
As I was in the shower this morning praying on what Word God wanted me to write about today, Holy Spirit told me, “Tell them (and yourself) that: “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…” (Revelations 12:11) So I ask you (as I ask myself too) WHAT […]
What does God have to do to “capture” your undivided attention? I wonder what Jonah thought as he sat in the belly of that whale. I imagine him sitting with his back against a side of the belly wall resting his head in his hands wondering how he […]
With open ears she heard the voice whispering her name, beckoning her to come out of the boat . She wasn’t scared, she was intrigued and filled with sweetest of peace. His voice compelled her forward, the essence of Him wrapped around her, it was familiar and she was filled with a need to draw […]
One of the worst things we can do when we are hard pressed is to give up on God. You have to determine in your head and in your heart that giving up on God is NOT an option, it’s a trap. Ol’ slewfoot wants you to cry out “uncle” to him. He wants to […]
It’s at the darkest moments in life when we realize how much we really need God… Sometimes God allows us to get to a point where we find ourselves prostate before Him. Out of answers. Without words. Feeling as though there is nothing we can do. This is the perfect time for a “God Moment.” […]
I woke up with the theme song from Jaws going through my head, which I thought was kind of peculiar and a little disconcerting until Holy Spirit clarified the why of it… When you choose to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life and as your personal Savior you are “choosing” to enter into […]
This post is for you if you have declared yourself to be a Christian. The dictionary defines the word “Christian” like this: “A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Christianity.” It also says, “relating to or professing Christianity or its teaching.” and in Google it says, “a person who believes […]
There are some days when I wake up just KNOWING God is not done with me. The kind of day where from the moment I woke up, everyone and everything around me irritated me. Heck, I even felt irritated with my own self and I couldn’t put my finger on the why of it. I […]
Sometimes, the only one left holding the stones – is us, ourselves. If God can forgive you, isn’t it time you forgave yourself? “Go now and sin no more.” (John 8:11) “How did I ever get to this point?” She wondered as she stood there shivering, trying to inconspicuously pull up the strap of her […]
Humpty Dumpty moments… Have you had one? Come on, be honest with yourself… I know I have… “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) We have all heard the story of Humpty Dumpty, haven’t we? Ask yourself this – How close are you to falling off the edge of the wall of your […]
