Sleepless

My heart is weary in the middle of the night. My restless soul awoke to a vivid dream, and without hesitation, I responded in my flesh, not by His Spirit. Angered, with “why this?” I know my God sees me as His Spirit never departs from me. Fully awake; I seek He who knows, and…

Abide and Delight

Take time to rekindle the fire within by voicing heartfelt thanksgiving. Remember the JOY of being found, of being called by name into the Presence of God? Where were you when your weary heart became inflamed with hope? Ponder back and journal that glorious day. When the living Word echoed from within, “Come to Me,…

Rebuilding Walls

God chose Nehemiah to rebuild the wall, a daunting task. As a humble cupbearer he boldly asked the king for help. He knew the promises of God, and he trusted His faithfulness. He had ears to hear what the Spirit of God was saying, and he wrote it down for our benefit today. As a…

Dragon’s Prophecy

Light pierced the darkness. The “I am” spoke, and Life burst into being. We now witness what God made manifest. “Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth.” Gen 28. The father of many nations has indeed multiplied to be as countless as the stars. It began in the Garden of Eden, a…

Many of us will depart, never knowing our legacy. Revelation 12:11“They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamband by…

Sin in the Camp

The cost of sin is death! Yes, death to a relationship with our Holy God. Each sin is equal and each white lie separates us from the Glory of God. Taking the promise land required taking down the wall of Jericho. Joshua 6:18 “Don’t bring trouble and destruction by stealing.” Whenever a Christian does what…

When I’m Gone

Be prepared to comfort those who get left behind. Write something to them in your Bible. Write a card, or a letter and position it so that it is very easy to find. When I’m gone, I don’t want you to be too sad. Stay silent, save the words, and remember the happy moments that…

Identity in Christ

I choose to be remembered as a relaxed person who looks for the good and proclaims it. I am curious, joyful, loving, kind, assertive, dependable, loyal, enduring, diligent, sincere, honest, patient, gentle, fair, enthusiastic, content, grateful, God fearing, courageous, attentive, decisive, sensible, secure, wise, available, flexible, generous, creative, responsible and mostly obedient. I rest easy…

Crew in Christ

To crew in Christ, is to grow in Christ. Think about the first crew Jesus chose. Each were unique, and each member had strengths and at least one weakness. Why did our Father specify the 9 gifts of His Spirit? Why One body with many members? Why did God create us so unique and different?…
