We all have experienced a challenging last year not only because of the pandemic but its ripple effect on so many components of our lives. Please join me in a two-day seminar on the topic of Depression – particularly as a Christian. What does the Bible say about depression? What, when, and how can we seek help? There is hope….

There may be a thorn in your life but God has ministered to me this morning by saying that although I may be experiencing thorn piercing pain, the fact is, it is on His rose bush. The roses will still come forth and they will be more beautiful than ever. Know that the thorns do not stop the roses from coming forth. Be encouraged my daughter, I know you feel a thorn at times but allow your eyes to see…
Is your creativity in captivity? Are your dreams buried in past attempts? Are they planted deep in fear? What would happen if they were ever allowed to come out? Do we know that sometimes our dreams are crying…all they want is a chance to be released? Have they been hidden behind the bars of our negative thinking for such a long time? It is time for your creativity to break free! Unfortunately, some dreams are now starving. They used to…
I must say that I initially thought this a very strange thought, but I earnestly believe the Holy Spirit was speaking to me and confirming my part in this journey of life. Let me be honest and put it in the context of when this thought occurred. I had just gotten off the scale which revealed that I had lost almost 3 pounds and I knew it was because I was diligent in my exercise and was changing my eating…
Christ Offers Victory In Darkness It is hard to ever think of any type victory being developed while in a state of darkness. However, it is in darkness that new things can be secretively developed by the best personal photographer we will ever know – our Heavenly Father. God knows what the final picture of our lives will look like and more importantly, He knows which pictures to develop and when to have them come forth. At times, we don’t…
Well, we have report after report after report – the numbers and the stats change daily. Needles to say we are in challenging times but if ever there was a time to read THE REPORT – that being God’s Word – now is the time. HIS report has not changed, it’s doesn’t shift, it doesn’t contradict itself, it doesn’t grow old, it’s applicable to anything that’s going on today, it’s real, it comforts, it encourages, it directs, it restores, it…
Yesterday, I challenged us to make a distinction between two types of “spiritual” nets. There are nets the LORD has designed for us to cast and there are nets the Enemy has designed. Know that as of yesterday – the Enemy’s type net was exposed! Amen…now let’s talk about the nets we should be casting. The net or nets designed by the Holy Spirit comes especially designed for you – it has your name on it. When cast out, it…
Just the other day I had a brief but powerful conversation about nets (yes, nets 😊) which made me remember a few previous postings I made last year regarding nets you may want to look at it. (Feb 1 & 16, 2019) Well, the LORD continues to amaze me regarding the layers of meanings HE can bring to what we may consider a simple word like “net”. There are different types of nets used for the different things trying to…
Well, it’s been a while since I posted. I’m going to post something a bit different this time. I’m going to share some of my favorite quotes. Perhaps these can be words of encouragement, hope, confirmation, and even challenge. Enjoy….and send a quote to a friend or family…you know exactly who you thought of when you read it…😊 “Sometime when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted.” – Christine Caine “Life is…
This morning on the prayer line we began to talk about the importance of “running our race” and to keep going no matter what. This made me think about a poem I use to share with my students years ago called “The Race”. Several listeners were moved by this poem this morning so I thought to share it on this posting. It’s somewhat lengthy but worth every word. Enjoy. The Race by Dr. D.H. “Dee” Groberg Whenever I start to hang…
