May 26, 2017 “He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Mathew 17:20-21 Look around us, really look at everything around us. What magnificent beauty! I’ve heard people say God doesn’t perform miracles like He use to. Well I totally disagree! They’re all around us all the time. I think we sometimes take things for granted. We obviously don’t see what goes on behind the scenes. I don’t think we, or at least…

May 20, 2017 “For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:15-16‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/rom.8.15-16.asv When a person understands about salvation, how it works, and accepts it as it is, there are so many emotions involved. I remember when I was younger, I had been a Christian for about 4 years. I accepted that Jesus was on this earth as a man and is Gods son. I accepted the fact that Jesus, the only perfect human being died on the cross…

May 13, 2017 “She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31: 27-31 This day is set aside to honor mothers everywhere. If you are reading this and are fortunate enough to be able to honor your mother, or have children…

May 4, 2017 “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” I Timothy 2:1-4 What a better day to post than on the National Day of Prayer! Do you make it a habit of praying for our nation? Our leaders? Our government? My prayer in this area use to…

April 27, 2017 “And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening oblation, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this people may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust,…

April 22, 2017 What can I say? Negative people are all over! And to make it worse many times they are in our family and close friends. We can’t get away from them. And sometimes we are the negative person. I’m so glad God is a positive God! So many times I’ve gone to Him in prayer, just to get help with the negativity. Sometimes We can ignore it, sometimes we can run away from it, but unfortunately most times we face it. It can bring us down, depress us, destroy our dreams, relationships, and deem us paralyzed. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Prayer, Bible  reading, and worship…

April 14, 2017 “Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” Matthew 28:7 A follow-up on my last prayer blog, just be aware! If you sincerely pray for someone or something, be prepared! God might just use you in a way you may never know! I’m saying this from experience! But remember He will not  give you more than you can handle. God will give you what you need. A word to the wise; remember to let Him!!! Have a wonder Easter! May you share the truth with…

April 5, 2017 “Rejoice in Hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” Romans 12:12 Words I hold dear. Holy, Awesome, Promise, Prayer. Holy: Use only to describe the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Spirit. Awesome: Use only to describe the Holy Trinity and Give them Glory! Promise: Use only if absolutely sure follow-through is imminent. Prayer: Use only if sincere about praying for Gods perfect will. These four words are words that I hold dear. I keep separate and protect from misuse in my vocabulary. Why? Words are used for so many reasons these days that sometimes they lose their true identity. My children would get so mad…

April 1, 2017 “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:6  Have you watched the movie, War Room? It’s a great movie. It reminds me so much of my mother-in-law. And it really makes you think about the power of prayer. What an Awesome God we have! It also started a buz about prayer closets, funny how fads come and go. But is a prayer closet a fad? About a year ago a friend of mine showed me her prayer closet. It was an actual closet dedicated…

March 22, 2017 Do you remember the run on the book, Prayer of Jabez? “Jabez called upon the God of Israel saying, “Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain?” And God granted what he asked.” I Chronicles 4:10. Yes, I read that book as well. And it was interesting and had some good Biblical advice; but I had to question it as well. I tend to have a very critical spirit. I always have had, I guess it’s in my genes. Yes God…
