God, Please Make Yourself Real – to Me…

I did not know about Jesus, what He had done for me, or really other than a “Children’s Bible” given to me as a kid, know anything about the Bible other than the story of Adam and Eve (kid version).  I was not raised in the church, growing up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood with […]

Listen, God IS Speaking – Quiet Your Heart to Hear Him…

We live in a world that is FULL of noise… Not only around us, but IN us.  Do you know what I mean?  We live in a microwave society, where we want what we want when we want it!  Now! Now! Now!  That coupled with the ramped spirit of entitlement that is REALLY present in […]

Are You Encountering “Giant” Size Situations? It’s Time to Hurl That Stone of Faith!

Life presents “giant” size situations, but when we hurl stones of faith at them, God’s will prevails.  Holy Spirit woke me up early this morning (not for the first time), thinking of David and Goliath. God’s Word is so relevant and alive.  I believe that David’s experience with Goliath is one that we, as God’s […]

Spirit of Truth

When you choose to personally acknowledge Jesus as Savior, make the choice of making Him Lord over your life, Holy Spirit comes into the very heart of you and begins to either “clean out” or “rearrange” a few things… He is also called the “Spirit of Truth” as indicated in John 16:13: “When the Spirit […]

To Believe or Not Believe – That IS the Question… Actually, That IS the Choice…

We never know when or what challenges will come our way in this life… How do you react when your boat is being rocked?  We live in a fallen world that is full of challenges that we never see coming, we have to exercise our faith to determine how we are going to respond. This […]

Stop Trying to Figure it ALL Out Yourself – You are NOT in Control, You just think You Are…

One of the biggest mistakes in our thought process, is thinking that we are “large and in charge” of our lives.  The Bible gives us a perfect example of how untrue that is.  James 4:13-15 tells us: “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city and […]

News Flash ~ You are NOT God! True Love’s Kiss…

Reading the title to this post, you are either raising an amused eyebrow at me or furrowing that same eyebrow… Hopefully this post will bring about a sigh of relief once you read it, which is the intent. We carry so much upon us that God did not intend for us to carry, especially those […]

The Only “Pot Stirrer” Stirring Up the Pot of You Should be Holy Spirit

We often believe more for others than we do for ourselves. GOD WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE HIM FOR YOU. As I was thinking about this today about myself, Holy Spirit gently whispered into my ear: “You know what this is, right? It’s a trust issue.” Sometimes words like that make me wince. But you know […]

Truth OR Dare? You Pick…

Truth or Dare? Which will you pick? Come on now, you remember playing this as a kid, if you didn’t – you missed out! So which will it be? This isn’t the same version – but it’s one people have a hard time facing…. Truth – Okay, the truth is most people are uncomfortable taking […]
