• Freedom for all

    Choices are for all. Freedom is for any. But that path looks so different for each of us. Sometimes we have to give up our mission for His. At what cost did that freedom happen and what cost from you, will that “freedom” come? Will it spur the next generation onward in your ways, or in Godly outcomes and agendas?  LET’S GET REAL: Disobedience is dangerous. Unwillingness could be a bondage of fear, rebellion or timidity. And pride is not freedom. It is a very strong spirit of bondage and control. However, it is not near as strong as the Spirit of the living/loving God (Eph. 2:1-5). Pride is as a wall for any true healing and…

  • Turn that page- 2

    Look at “it” from the other side. Now write: OBEDIENT and WILLING and FREE.  We are on the “God can” page. Can you see the good that’s ahead of you as you merge with the right belief system? As you take on a new mission? Guilt sometimes comes from doing things we know we need to stop. Courage takes its place in that moment and says you’re not going under. We know the other choices are always going to be available… disobedience, unwillingness, and pridefulness. But that’s not what we’re putting on the paper.  Zech. 4:10 is a “God can” message. It says to not despise small beginnings, for the Lord…

  • TURN IT OVER- 1

    Of course our enemy would love for us to live on worry and wounds… BUT LET’S TURN IT OVER! Turn “it” over to God. Right now. Hand it over. To Him. It’s not just your Momma or your sister or your brother- Do you remember the old song: “It’s not my brother or my sister, but it’s me Oh God. Standing in the need of prayer”?  I’ve already established that I am not exempt from pain. But I get to choose Who I’ll stand with today and tomorrow and the next days. I get to decide if I’m going to allow the same pain from the same people, to inflict…

  • How do you run on FULL?

    One way is to stop letting other people dictate your happiness, your schedule, your commitments, and your purpose. Jesus came to run you up to full. The enemy came to run you down. Satan wants you and I to break down. He desires for us to run around on empty- and depleted. And if this is busy you, then you just might be fulfilling the enemy’s plans for your life. Satan sets us up for a fall, disaster, and loss. He wants you to miss out- he is wanting doubt to be your reasoning; he came just to empty you. (Hence the John 10:10 verse: “kill, steal, destroy.”) BUT JESUS…

  • A Pour-Over

    Do you know what happens when God pours out His Spirit? It gets you going again! Coffee gets a lot of people going every day and like me, I’m sure you’ve heard about “pour overs.” I don’t know everything there is to know about them because I’m not a coffee drinker, though I love the smell of it. However, I do know that a filter is involved and there is a period of time that it needs to sit and soak. When God’s Spirit settles in us, toxic things begin to come out and the flavor of life settles in. You don’t want to stay the same. His Spirit makes…
