Don’t Short-Circuit Your Miracle
"Don't ever short-circuit a miracle by trying to see it in progress!" --Kenneth Copeland Because our natural eyes often dictate our next move (i.e. we see a stray ball coming our way so we duck, or [...]
Does Jesus Know You?
Have you ever wondered (like I have) what Jesus meant when He said there will be some who will call Him Lord but He never knew them? I've studied this out before because if it's possible [...]
You’ve Been Engrafted!
Part 1 | Part 2 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation...” So how did we become new? Continuing from my last post, I want to explain what it means [...]
Take Nothing for Granted
It makes sense that when we face a trial of any kind (relationships, finances, health, etc), we pray more earnestly, we read our Bible more searching scripture for direction and hope, and we let go of [...]
No Longer a Wretch
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me... I have my own definitions of what a wretch is (how I used to see myself), but the dictionary describes it as a deplorably [...]
Check Your Heart
Jesus said, "The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not [...]
His Faithfulness is Just Ahead
No matter how many years pass, I still see it coming... that marker in time— the sign in the road that says, "God is faithful." There are some who want to go around it, avoid it, [...]
My Father and Your Father
Growing up, I was blessed to have two dads. My parents divorced when I was two years old, and a few years later, my mom remarried. I'm sure I confused people quite often because I affectionately [...]
Hell Can’t Put Out the Light
"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it" (John 1:4-5). If you want to frustrate Hell, let your [...]
If You Want to See Results
My recent post, I Think Myself Happy, is still rolling around in my spirit. Unless you study the scriptures more fully, you might have the impression Paul found contentment and joy by only "thinking" happy thoughts. [...]
I Think Myself Happy
What amazes me about this story most is what Paul said first. When permitted to speak, he stepped forward and declared, "I think myself happy, King Agrippa..." (Acts 26:2).
What You Need to Know About Temptation
Did you ever see the television show called "On the Fly"? My daughter and I caught an episode once. It was a reality show about airports and how people handle delays and other airport-related dilemmas. It [...]
How to Stop the Heart Vomit
I know the title is a bit gross, but you immediately had a mental picture didn't you? I don't think I need to explain what vomit is, but I might need to explain why Jesus used [...]
My Rocket-Science Revelation
I am out of routine, and I don't like it. (Great way to start a blog, huh?) But seriously I am, by nature, a routine-kind-of-girl. And when my routine is out of sync I try to [...]
Nothing Is Ever Lost
"I have held many things in my hands and lost them all. But whatever I've placed in God's hands, that I still possess." --Martin Luther (1483-1546) Sometimes you don't need many words to express a great truth. [...]
It’s Time to Unlock Some Doors
I love prepositions! Sounds silly, I know. (Especially when you discover I wasn't a big fan of English class while in school.) But think about the power of a preposition: If I say, "I was IN my [...]
Grit Your Teeth & Speak
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 We've been talking about forgiveness. Concerning this, the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith" (Luke 17:5). They were as human as we are when [...]
