God is Faithful to Guide

Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 AMP As I have shared in previous posts, my husband has been diagnosed with prostate…

Maturity

Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. Hebrews…

Our Journey of Faith for Healing

There are different types of healing. In fact the word salvation, in the original language, means to be saved, healed, delivered, made whole, total soundness of being. I have experienced mental and emotional healing and even physical healing, but sometimes it is definitely a journey. My husband began having symptoms of frequent urination and then…

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…

The Purpose of Trials

Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you. But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His gory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed,…

Few 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…

Honoring 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…

Resurrection

We possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves. We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or…

Crossing 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…

Waiting on God

And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing at the right side of he altar of incense. And when Zachariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear took possession of him. But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zachariah, because your petition was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will…

The Shaking

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake…

Producing 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…

Guarding 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…

A 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.”…

Winning the War

A few days ago, a friend of ours passed away. She had Asperger’s syndrome. One of the things I learned recently from a friend is that people who do not get the medication they need for this developmental disorder often end up self-medicating, which often leads to addiction. She went to our church for a…

Flood 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…

The Joseph Anointing

There are many different types of callings and giftings in the body of Christ. As I have shared previously, my husband is a watchman. A watchman is a type of prophetic gifting. Often the Lord gives him dreams about what is coming in the future so that we can pray and people can get prepared.…

Are 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,…

Hope for 2022 and Beyond

I have heard a few different prophets saying that things will be worse in 2022 than in 2021. More shaking, persecution, etc. My husband and I shared a dream on YouTube a few months ago that he had about the shortages being worse than they are now. Recently, he had a dream about shortages in…

The Ark Dream

Recently I heard a minister sharing a word that the Lord had given her about “getting your boat ready.” She felt that the Lord was referring to the way that He spoke to Noah to store up supplies for the time ahead, but also to get yourself ready spiritually. This reminded me of a dream…
