Sometimes we think we have God kinda figured out. We assume how he will respond or act in situations. Then He turns around and surprises us. It’s as if he’s saying, “I am God who is all-powerful. I’m not going to fit into your logical human box.” I’ve seen Him heal and protect people that…
ALWAYS A COST
It’s hard to believe that next week is Christmas and in less than 2 weeks we will enter into a new decade. As I watch the hustle and bustle and enter the crowded shops during this season, I am reminded of the greatest gift of all. Jesus. He is the gift that never wears out,…
BLESSED IS SHE
I’m enjoying a Christmas tradition that someone shared with me recently. It’s a great way to be reminded of the story of Jesus during this busy season. The tradition is beginning December 1st to read one chapter of Luke each day through to December 24th. There are 24 chapters in Luke. Therefore, by Christmas Eve, you…
REFINER’S FIRE
While watching the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. I thought about God holding us in…
THE KEY TO HAPPINESS
Happy Thanksgiving friends! I hope your day is full of good food, fun family memories and reflection on how blessed we all are. Thanksgiving should be a heart posture not a once a year event. I have talked about this many times in past posts but really it’s so important and the key to happiness….
JESUS AMAZED
There is a common belief in Jesus but then there is faith that amazes Jesus. One of the great stories of the bible is of the Centurion. Most people need to “see it to believe it”. Even then they can be skeptical. But the Centurion, who might of not even been a follower of Christ,…
IN EVERY SITUATION
Life can bring anxiousness, right There are unexpected situations that trigger us, along with people that are difficult. We can get overwhelmed by it all if we don’t stay focused on our rock. One of my favorite verses and reminders is Philippians 4:6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer…
Declaring Truth
We need to speak over ourselves the truth. Yes, there is power in declaring truth often, even daily. It really doesn’t matter the lies that the enemy tells us or who others say we are – unless we believe it. We must be steadfast in captivating our thoughts and living free which only comes from…
JESUS IS KING
Let’s talk about Kanye. I’ll start out by saying I could not stand the guy in the past. He literally was probably the top 3 celebrities that made me feel ill. Like acting as if he was Jesus, His prideful rants and miserable attitude. So now that I got that said, let’s talk about His…
IDENTITY THEFT
The one thing I see more and more is the enemy robbing life before it really begins. The other day I heard the sad news of a local 13 yr old who took His life. What 13 year old would have so much despair that he would convince Himself that life wasn’t worth living? Only…
