MATTERS OF THE HEART
Matters Of The Heart Proverbs 4:23 (AMP) 23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. The Spirit of The Lord is a matter of the heart and through the heart is the renewing of the mind. There […]
ACCEPTANCE – ACKNOWLEDGEMENT – AGREEMENT
Acceptance – Acknowledgement – Agreement Acknowledgment does not have to equate to acceptance or agreement. Acknowledgment should be the first and basic step towards overcoming yet many people are physically and spiritual bound unknowingly by the power of agreement verses listening, discerning and acknowledging what is spoken. How many times have we all made […]
LOVE BEARS ALL
LOVE BEARS ALL Many of us have often wondered why is love so painful at times? Why am I not worthy of love, why am I not accepted? Are you feeling heartfelt pain, dealing with rejection, feeling unworthy or dealing with brokenness? Are you feeling abandoned or all alone? Have others made you feel […]
WORTHINESS vs. ENTITLEMENT
WORTHINESS vs. ENTITLEMENT In a lawless society many confuse, twist and pervert “free-will” with personal liberty. Liberties come with a cost that most are not willing to pay and one’s actions have consequences to self and others. Ask a veteran the cost of liberty/freedom as they freely and willingly serve(d) to protect the very […]
Knowing Him and Trusting in His Love and Goodness
Yesterday my niece and her husband lost their 10 month old baby girl. In our grieving the Lord impressed upon me the words He spoke to me several years ago; “Your kingdom walk is in your knows and what you speculate about I will bring to your knowing when you need to know it.” We […]
Contend for Christ in Your Thoughts

If entertaining evil thoughts precede and lead to the action of sin, conversely entertaining Godly thoughts lead to the action of love and […]

OUTPOURING Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” ( Luke 6 : 38 NKJV) Yesterday while having coffee with a couple of […]
THE ENEMIES WE FACE
THE ENEMIES WE FACE Ephesians 6:10–13 (AMP) 10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides]. 11 Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be […]
PARTNERING WITH TRUTH
PARTNERING WITH TRUTH What you partner with you also give a measure of influence and authority to. Contracts, agreements and partnerships have a “voice” or sphere of influence over you. The honor, measure and fulfillment of those partnerships, agreements or promises is only as good as the potential fulfillment of those promises, partnerships, agreements […]
RIPPLES IN THE WATER
RIPPLES IN THE WATER Today I found myself sitting by the river for many hours listening to worship music and meditating on the Word of God while seeking the Lord. I love having quiet time with the Lord meditating on His goodness, love, grace and mercy. As I was looking at the ripples […]
LOVE THAT IS LONG SUFFERING
Love & Longsuffering Over two thousand years ago the Lord Jesus was crucified and died what should have been our deaths as Jesus bore the sins of the world to free mankind and reconcile us with the Father thus defeating the works of Satan. John 3:16 (NKJV) For God so loved […]
FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE
FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE 2 Corinthians 3:17 (AMP) 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). [Isa. 61:1, 2.] Isaiah 61:1–2 (AMP) THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed and qualified me to […]
