Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of…

Being Emptied Out
Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was…
Read MoreFew are Chosen
Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready. But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said…
Read MoreHonoring Your Mother
Regard (treat with honor, due obedience, and courtesy) your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God gives you. Exodus 20:12, AMP As I was thinking about Mother’s Day this year, I thought about how this one would be so much different than all the years of…
Read MoreCrossing Over
On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into…
Read MoreWilderness Mentalities
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard…
Read MoreProphetic Dreams for 2024 and Beyond
My husband and I have both had a few prophetic dreams that I believe will happen in 2024 and beyond that point. Basically, my husband saw back to back wildfires and tornadoes that seemed to be mingled together happening in the west, mountainous regions, like California. While I believe that this will be literal, tornadoes…
Read MoreProducing a Harvest
In this post I will deal with the Parable of the Sower, specifically, the thorny ground and the good ground. Luke 8 says the following: And as for what fell among the thorns, these are [the people] who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and…
Read MoreGuarding Your Heart
As for what was sown on thin (rocky) soil, this is he who hears the Word and at once welcomes and accepts it with joy; Yet it has no real root in him, but is temporary (inconstant, lasts but a little while); and when affliction or trouble or persecution comes on account of the Word,…
Read MoreGuarding Against Falling Away
For the last few weeks I have felt led to read and teach from the parable of the sower. For this post, I will focus on the seed sown along the roadside. Matthew 13:3-4 says: And He told them many things in parables (stories by way of illustration and comparison), saying, A sower went out…
Read MoreNew Level New Devil
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,…
Read MoreThe Lord’s Yoke
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease…
Read MoreA New Year’s Prayer
As I was thinking about this being the time of year when people make new year’s resolutions, I was reminded of what a friend of mine said to me one time. She said “Trying to change yourself is like putting on a girdle (or spanks); it pushes in one spot and pops out somewhere else.”…
Read MoreA Prayer for the Bride
And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment, So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize…
Read MoreFlood Waters Rising
My husband and I have both had dreams about floods in the last year or so. I dreamed that I was at my grandparents old house, which is a single story, but in my dream, it was a two story house. We were upstairs in the second story and I was looking out the window…
Read MoreProphetic Dreams: Cleansing the Church
A few weeks ago my husband, Tim, had a dream in which he saw a Messianic Jewish Rabbi at our church. The pulpit was moved to the right side of the church where he began to speak. On the communion table there was a large snake or eel, which appeared to be petrified and had…
Read MoreAre You Truly Born Again?
I praise the Lord for keeping His hand on me through-out my life. When I was 5 years old, a neighbor lady started giving me a ride to the Methodist church on Sundays. There I experienced the love of God drawing me through an older lady, who was my Sunday school teacher. As a child,…
Read MoreA Time of Sifting
In my last blog, I shared that the Lord had given me a vision of people being sifted. What I saw was a jar with sand and people inside that were being dumped out into a sifter. It was what appeared to be a beach setting and the sifter was what someone might use to…
Read MoreA Prophetic Dream: Vaccination Mandates?
In 2008, my husband had a dream, where we were at his father’s property (who is now deceased). Often when my husband has a spiritual dream, it takes place on his father’s property, which I think is spiritually symbolic of our Heavenly Father. He said there was a cattle pen in the back, with a…
Read MoreBecoming a Soldier
My husband and I traveled last weekend to Fort Benning, GA to see our son, Nate, graduate from basic training (he’s in the army). They called it the “Turning Green Ceremony”, meaning that this is when they officially become a soldier. The soldiers were required to stand at attention for an hour, while the parents…
