• IT’S HIS PLAN

    When we know God, we don’t have a problem knowing He will pave a path of victory for us to step into. He’ll secure a great place! He will send His favor ahead of us. He’ll be our recommendation! He’ll make sure to give us something to build a life on. Since He’s got the plan, He also has the perfect dialogue that needs to happen for what you’re wanting to occur. That person who wants to do it for you but doesn’t have the means or the person who is able and has the means but does not have a desire to do it for you, they aren’t the…

  • Heaven is open

    You really don’t always know what heroes of the faith go through. But I live with one. He still needs an open heaven to send his prayers to. Because…There aren’t any flashy bright outfits with capes. And often times, his family knows this best. They try very hard not to have great needs because there are so many who do, surrounding us. And. Heroes need a Hero too! We turn to our Jesus. When Hell attacks. He’s the One that doesn’t need the power company to turn the lights back on or to be the Light of my world, or your world. Anyone who’s married knows the lights can dim…

  • Power Shortage

    Have you ever experienced a major power outage? Unexpectedly, the electricity service goes out… Personal Story: I was blind and now I see. I turned completely in the direction of Jesus. Became apart of the church. Met a cute guy. Got married… but when we’re looking at the “better” of one another, we’re not yet seeing the “worse”. I found myself crying out for mercy! Often. I would feel like I kept losing the vision God gave us because it was too hard to see. Especially when the power was cut off. I was taking care of three little guys and Derek had a lot he was responsible for too,…

  • The Seeing Man

    Bart told Jesus he wants to see. When Jesus says: “Go, your faith’s healed you”… I hear “Go live your life! Go and be free from confinement and discouragement and darkness. Go, you’re released from this thing.” Bartimaeus chooses to now follow Jesus. He’s received his sight. He has been given mercy and a miracle!! MAYBE TODAY YOU’RE STANDING IN GOD’S HONEST TRUTH. You have sight. But you need to be giving other people the God’s Honest Truth. You don’t want to only be served; you want to serve. You want to give from the gifts you’ve been given, the blessings you have been blessed with. We give other people…

  • New Sight. New Vision

    “Jesus stopped.” When Jesus stopped for Bartimaeus, I imagine the clock stopped! Bart starts hearing people’s voices calling to him. He is being seen and acknowledged. Encouraged to cheer up. Given a command. To rise to his feet. Told by the disciples that Jesus is calling him. Thank God that when we cannot see correctly, absolutely nothing is ever wrong with HIS vision! You cry for mercy, He’ll find you every time. You stay prideful, He’ll find that in you every time too. When you are in need of mercy, there is no time to be holding onto pride. Jesus stopped for me. When I was lacking. When I had…

  • BLIND

    Some of us have been at a place that we know we aren’t seeing what we need to see. We’ve had to learn to listen in the Spirit. We’ve had to wait for Jesus to come closer. Blind Bartimaeus was use to the begging kind of life. He was not yet able to follow in example of Jesus, the One who came not to be served but to serve, as it says in Mark 10:45 just above the story of Bartimaeus. Because of the blind man’s condition, he was having to be served. Maybe we are unable to see due to injury, disease, or a congenital condition. Maybe we are…

  • God’s Move

    Say “yes” if you want God’s change, His move in you, ministry done through you, and the work of His Holy Spirit to be in the place you’re in right now! Somebody is tired of being scared. What I am telling you is that we were too. You want to stop fear and the terror it causes you. I am here to say that you will. But. You must let God move you. Be open to making investments that show He’s in your life. Those investments will then cause you to feel him when He moves, whether you are in an actual worship service or on livestream in your home.…

  • Changed and Challenged

    My Pastor husband says: “Many times we leave a focus time with God, unchanged and unchallenged.” We want God to change us. We know that Jesus is a Friend that’s more beautiful than diamonds. We’ve leaned in to learn more about the Holy Spirit. But what are we going to do with the verses that cross our path today, this week, or next Sunday? There’s so much you can do with them: You can turn them into PRAYERS. You can turn them into PRAISE. You can turn them into a PAUSE. You can turn them into a PROMISE to declare. And you can turn them into a PLAN of action…

  • Feeling Unready

    What do you do when you don’t feel ready for what God is doing in your life? What if we do not have answers to give people for what’s happening? 1 Peter 3:15 says to be ready for giving an answer for the hope you have. It does not indicate we are to have answers for everything and everyone- Just for the hope we have! That should rest your mind and heart today, knowing you are responsible for hoping IN the situation you’re in. Maybe you are usually the person with a great plan, all of the solutions, details in order, never ill-prepared. But maybe you are not the person…

  • Hope Restorer’s House

    The Hope Restorer wants to restore lives. He wants to mend marriages, ministries, ministers, and much more. Our hope has been damaged in parenting, in marriage, in life – but it is still intact. I want to speak to the people who’s hope has been damaged. At the Hope Restorer’s House, we get to be fueled and re-filled. We get to see lives healed. We get to be apart of those who have need of their hope to stay intact! He can turn graves into gardens but sometimes we’ve got to raise a hallelujah. No it doesn’t have to be in a church setting but it often is going to…
