What is holding me back from a Spiritual Victory?
•
The whole truth that comes from our Holy God leads to our spiritual victory. Pride and fear often keep people from seeking the whole truth from God. We don’t want to admit we are making a mistake or that we lack something others have. If we have a good reputation,…

God Allowed vs God Approved Leadership…
•
One of the best examples of how different it is to be God-allowed rather than God-approved is to look at the leaders and their leadership at the time of the crucifixion of Christ Jesus. The Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate of Judea, and the Roman-appointed Herod Antipas were not godly men.…

Don’t Miss the Point!

Everyone’s Faith is Tested…
•
It does not feel good when our faith is tested. It happens to everyone. As I lay in the dark too tired to get out of bed, I started my day in prayer. I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. I felt happy and safe as I contemplated how…

Looking For the Perfect Hiding Place

Blindsided By An Unexpected Temptation
•
I dreamed I was tempted to eat a peach in the middle of the night at 3 am. I ate it and wanted more. It was so juicy and full of flavor. I never liked peaches, but this peach was special. I was just about to take another big bite,…

God Thou Art My Praise
•
I love the Bible verse, Jeremiah 17:14 “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise.”. I like its simplicity and how it reminds me that there is a tremendous amount of power in just a few of…

The Mercy and Grace of Jesus: Encouraging Repentance and Faith in God’s Forgiveness
•
I don’t have many “What If…” questions for Jesus like I did as a new Christian. However, a few weeks ago, I was reading Ephesians 6, and started thinking about spiritual attacks and how important it is we are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. We are told to pray…

Good Memories Too

Feb 10, 2024. Today God reminded me of the good things I am thankful for. I had been so focused on the things that have been painful for so long that I was losing sight of what is important and good in my life. God had me look at this…
