Before you were… Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you. Delight filled my being at the very thought of you. My plans and intentions to fill your life with my goodness consumed my heart. Before your heart even beat one beat, my voice was calling your name. Before you were etched and marked by the sin of a sinful world, I engraved my name on your heart, and your name upon my hand....

This encouragement goes out to all the intercessors who so selflessly pour themselves out in the place of prayer on behalf of the nations. To you who have answered the call to stand in the gap and reach the Father’s heart for revival to sweep the nation(s), to you I say “well done, good job, keep pressing on and pressing in!” I know it is a labor of love that motivates you to offer your hearts to this....

Lately, every time I’ve stopped the noise of this life, every time I’ve quieted myself or closed my eyes to rest, I hear a gentle whisper in my heart calling me back to the love of my Father. I hear the cross calling me to know the true reason spotless blood was poured out upon it. Jesus didn’t come so I could be restored to God Almighty and worship him forever....

I love the persistent pursuit of the Holy Spirit to conquer my heart and woo me back into His divine affection. He is a faithful Lover, speaking gently, but always truthfully. This last year, 2022, was really hard for me on a personal level. It was as if my prayers were not being answered, as if seeking the Bible for comfort was little comfort if any, and worship was just a continual search for the right song to usher in a breakthrough....

Today I was reading in Romans and Romans 8:5 jumped out at me, and I saw something I had never seen quite this way before. The NIV quote of Rom 8:5 says “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Seems simple enough, pretty straight forward, not too hard to grasp....

I met a new friend this week, and we had such great conversations. One particular conversation about children born into crisis situations due to parental choices in lifestyle really surprised me. Her comment was something like she couldn’t understand how good people struggle with barrenness, while crackheads can have one right after another! She asked how could God let that happen?...

To seek Him beyond the need… that is what I heard in my heart as I bowed my head early this morning in prayer. I came to Him today thinking I needed a fresh word on where to stand today as I began another day caring for my mom in the final stages of an aggressive stage 4 cancer. The need of knowing exactly how to minister to her is pressing greatly on my heart....

May 8th, 2022 To know God rightly, one must first be undone by His incomparable glory. To see Him who sits high above the earth and yet considers all who dwell there upon it, to behold His holiness, is no trivial matter. To rightly approach His Throne, one must first recognize and rightly understand the depth, the height, and the breadth of grace that would reach down from the holiness of God to gather sinful man unto himself, to utter from holy lips the words “I have redeemed you, called you by name, you are MINE!”, thus forever changing the course of history and destiny of man.

Early in January, I took a little tumble tripping over the dog. At the time, I didn’t think I had injured myself, but over the next few weeks, the pain in my back was so intense I was literally crawling from room to room in my house! When I was able to stand, I was all hunched over, unable to stand straight....

I’ve been meditating on John 5, the story of the man Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda. It’s a very short retelling of a moment in life of a man in need of healing for 38 years. It’s only a few short 15 verses that give us a brief look into what happened that day that ended 38 years of suffering, 38 years of struggling, 38 years of questioning and being questioned....

One of the things I love about my Lord Jesus is the compassion he has, the mercy he gives, and the kindness he shows when he brings us to correction. Within the work of the Holy Spirit to bring our hearts to conviction, there is always life, and never does he shame us. Shame brings condemnation and Romans makes a bold statement that there is now therefore NO condemnation for those who are in Christ....
