See Light

"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light."  Psalm 36:9 *** There are times when you may go through some things, and you can't see past where you are, because where you are is the only tangible reality that you can perceive. I've certainly been there before. However, when t…

If It Had Not Been For The Lord

" If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say: If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us then they would have swallowed us up..." Psalm 124:1+   I remembered this scripture in the early hours of the morning while reflecting on a discussion a…

Stony Ground

During bible study, a comment was made that Christians don’t exercise their faith but often lean toward     being practical or realistic rather than declaring the Word of God. For example, the word of God says that you were healed by the stripes of Jesus, but rather than declaring wholeness, we consistently declare …

Stretch Your Faith

He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber.. Psalm121:3 ** Trust is sometimes required where one may not yet have evidence of the other party having come through. Your faith must take that initial step—making a decision that your feelings are not convinced of, but that you know is right.…

Hope Against Hope

My experience of God is that He doesn’t follow a 3 step plan, or a 10 step plan in which you are seeing him move at each junction. Often, the closer you get to a looming deadline, the deadness of silence is disorienting. A flood of panic rushes over you, intent to drown you. I don’t have a solution for this place ot…

Idolatry

But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.” Numbers20:12 **** ** How you perceive the word that God has spoken matters. How you see the word that God has spoken matters, n…

Go with God

EBENEZER = 'stone of help' Ebenezer, my help, has come. ** The past 24 hours have been enlightening, this morning more-so. I was reading extra bible commentary in my bible that talked about emotional healing. It had me reflecting on some things, and I prayed about some things that I need to lay down, thin…

Just Believe

While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.” But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.” Luke 8:4…

Called

"And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."  Romans 8:30  ** **   I’m grateful for this open door. I’m grateful that I can now walk through to possess my possessions. I’m glad that the time for struggle has ended. I can now soar to gl…

Vengeance Is Mine

" It is mine to avenge; I will repay.     In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near     and their doom rushes upon them.” | Deuteronomy 32:35| ** I don’t think you understand what you’ve done to yourself. I won’t tell you though. Soon you’ll know. Soon, very soon, you’ll understand. And I…

Strong Towers

The Tower-of-Strength stood in the middle of the city; all the men and women of the city along with the city's leaders fled there and locked themselves in.  |Judges 9:51| ** Always run to the strong tower. As Christians, Jesus is our strong tower. The story of Abimelech (Judges 9) is ministering to me this week …

I Remembered That God Remembers

You’ve been faithful Lord Through the ages past That is why your name is forever ** Yesterday I felt that I had done something wrong. And I could feel my emotions going down because why must such a thing take this long? And I’d been fine. I’d been so good, but for some reason I was suddenly confronted with the thoug…

Listen and Understand

He who has ears to hear, let him hear  and  heed My words [ Matt11:15 Amplified ]. ** **             Listen; you think this is a game. Perhaps you think you’ll finesse your way last minute and you’ll make it in. Or you think grace will speak for your sorta- kinda-but-not-really commitment on that day. But grace is…

Abigail

Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.” 1 Samuel 12:17 ** Run, Abigail, run quickly! Gather all the supplies that you can. Do not think of the unfairness of it all, or let your thou…

Help My Unbelief

How do you do it?   How do you trust God when the promise both excites and frightens you? How do you become fully convinced that this is what God wants for you whilst also keeping the doubt from communing and consuming your belief,   mocking the assurance of His word? How do you protect your …
