Removing Every Hindrance
“Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored]” Joel 2:12 (AMP) If you have ever traveled in a car with kids, you know that you are going to be questioned. Every time I have taken my family on a drive, my children would inevitably ask at the half way point during our trip, “Are we there yet?” No matter how far you are traveling, all children seem to be programmed to ask this question. On those long […]
Your Life is Shielded by the Hand of God
You have also given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand has held me up; Your gentleness and condescension have made me great. Psalms 18:35 (Amplified) Have you ever felt alone and nervous as you were about to confront a high-stress situation?

“Perfect love casts out all fear, for fear hath torment. And he that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:18 We are created in the image of God and designed to have intimate relationships bound in love. I guess it would be safe to say we are created with a “need” to love, and be loved. As an infant, the first time we are touched and held by our parent, our initial experience with physical love is activated. But, only for a moment. At the stage of infancy, the ability to hold-on to love has […]
Unconditional Love: Finding the Real Thing
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6) Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1Corinthians 13:4-7 As you experience God’s love, you will know you have found the real thing. He loves you with an everlasting, continual, and unconditional love. His love is consistent and not based on your behavior, good or bad. He […]
