Collecting Treasures

The tax collector recorded a jewel. Matthew 6:19-21 highlights a motivation for living a life of simplicity. Our Father highly recommends that we invest in eternal treasures. The treasure of time spent with Him, trusting Him, thanking Him and talking with Him. God points out that our heart follows our passions. When we choose to VALUE…

Winter Frost

Feeling the freeze? Yes, but I’m keeping my fire burning! The Holy Spirit equips us, and He prepares all who seek Him with gifts and sticks. What? He keeps us not only warm, but blazing hot as long as we do our part. He convicts us with a prick that we gladly respond to with…

Transformed

We are all in process of becoming. Each day we have the free choice to remain as we have always been, the comfortable, ordinary person that is settled in our accustomed way — or to be transformed into a new extraordinary being of radiant light. This remarkable review of “Mere Christianity” a book written by…

In the Spirit

Charles Spurgeon on the fruit of the Spirit of God, and what is not. “When the Spirit of truth is come, He pours daylight into the darkness, and leads us into all truth. He does not merely show the truth, but He leads us into it, so that we stand within it, and rejoice in…

A Silent Night

Twas the night before Jesus returned, and just as God predicted, many lamps were running short of oil. Soon, like a thief in the night, within the time frame of a blink, those with bright lamps shining and hearts expecting — their beds, chairs, and cars will be emptied in a supernatural twinkling. Within this…

Thanksgiving

Praise God for His way is perfect. Life is always exciting as we trust in God. Our Father continues to surprise and astound us. His plan is marvelous, His goodness is everlasting, His mercy never ends, His love is boundless, and we stand in awe — touched by His presence, we sweetly weep as we…

Connect Dots

In September 2023, my listening prayer counselor heard me say “I dont ever want to be like my mom!” Grace stepped in as the prayer counselor reminded me to remember whatever my mom did well. We then prayed to break the sin of a VOW— to never be like my mom. This is a sin…

Rejection

We have all been rejected at some point, by someone. REJECTION is the most devastating human emotion. Jesus felt the sting of rejection by close friends, and in his hometown of Nazareth. Did you know that 80% of the world population were NOT wanted? Rejection causes us to self-hate; self-destruct; feel ignored; abandoned. Our Father…

Unwanted in Womb

The wound is deep when a child is unwanted in the womb by it’s mother. Perhaps a result of a rape, or incest, or a run-away dad. Women who carry full term and then abandon have done damage to the child growing in the womb. There are ultrasound pictures of babies in the womb laughing…

Vows Renounced

When we make a vow to NEVER do that again. Or we hear yourself saying “I ALWAYS do that!” We have actually made a self fulling prophecy. As we begin to capture every word that is about to proceed from our lips, we THINK “does this VOW keep reoccurring when we rant “What is wrong…
