We cannot move God to do something He has already done. I receive from God by believing Him. Do you believe that you already have it? Believe Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. – Mark 11:24 KJV Jesus told the disciples after they marveled about the fig tree withering away, “Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).” He tells them and us that we shall…
FORGIVENESS is a powerful word. It is hard to give when you are in the midst of the storm. A time when emotions rule instead of logic. It is truly the hardest thing to give away. INSPIRATION This is the amazing story of Forgiveness, with capital letters. Can a woman forgive the man who killed her daughter? This woman could, and she felt so liberated that she now is helping the man. This impressive story was the inspiration for Christian singer…

This post is an expansion of my reply to a question from a fellow disciple about “binding and loosing.” Those who truly fear the Lord, speak to one another often and think upon His name (Malachi 3:16). People who don’t fear the Lord, make up excuses why they “can’t” do His will and produce good fruit (Matthew 25:14-18, 19-24, 25-30). The simple fact that you are reading this, makes me think that you have included yourself in the “fear of…
I WON’T LET GO touched my heart. It is a reminder that GOD will not let go of us. We are His. As the Holy Spirit leads me, and I obey, I am BLESSED by the songs. The lyrics and the scriptures of this song, I WON’T LET GO, touched my heart. GOD WON’T LET GO of you and me. And the WORD confirms it continually! The story behind the song written by Jason Sellers and Steve Robinson and sung…
The theme running through today’s Bible reading is God saying, “You are welcome to join us!” He said the foreigners were welcome to join the Israelites in Numbers 9:14. In Psalm 61, it is clear that lying, murdering, adulterers like King David are welcome to join us. Proverbs 6 says that even those committing the “things God hates” are welcome to join us. Isaiah 20 reveals some butts! And finally, Acts 18 tells us that God’s people are blessed financially…
Do you know your enemy? Football coaches and players study the teams they are planning to compete with. Warriors send in spies to study the enemy and report back to make battle plans. Christians have a lot of information recorded for them in the Bible about who the enemy is and what he is up to. The Bible is a progressive revealing of Jesus, His will, and thanks to the enemy and our rebellion, God’s plan of redemption! None of…
When I got born again (John 3:3,7, 1 Peter 1:23) in 2007/08 I was a fat mess! Literally! I weighed 230-250 pounds easily. I had been overweight or fighting it for most of my life. Our family of six lived in a three-bedroom single-wide mobile home on someone else’s property. I was a straight HEATHEN! I didn’t want to be a heathen. My mother and grandmother raised me, and I was not raised by heathens. My wonderful husband was not…
The Holy Spirit speaks to me from WORDS on a page. For this post, the word was ARMOUR. And that word led me to the question, “Where is your armour?” Seeking the answer to this question led me down a path of new understanding and revelations of what is MINE in CHRIST through HIS ARMOUR. Then, I was led to this song with the title THE ARMOUR. THE ARMOUR – The lyrics touched my heart >> And the best way to get back…
The following verses are really just shocking! Matthew 4:5,8 each makes the statement that the devil takes Jesus up! But the Holy Spirit didn’t “take” Jesus; He led Him. How did the devil take Jesus anywhere? In His mind? Maybe. But, the Holy Spirit physically led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. I am thankful Jesus’ example is recorded in the Bible because now I know how to submit to God who does NOT force Himself…
