How to Overcome the Enemy
For it was not an enemy who reproached and taunts me, then I might bear it… Psalm 55:12-13 Words are powerful, destructive, and so very painful. And the enemy uses those who are closest to us to speak out hurtful words because he wants to get a “close up” shot, one that will do some damage. He uses their knowledge of the past and words that are connected to that painful event. So, every painful event that has not been healed is his target. A profound truth on how to overcome the enemy is you must work through all the […]
Your Refreshing Comes Daily
“And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.” Matthew 24:10 Amp. As you spend time daily, God washes your spirit from the trials and troubles of the previous day so you enter into the new day fresh. Refreshing comes daily.

The Lord Will Raise You Up
“The Lord raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill, that He may seat them with princes, even the princes of His people.” Psalm 113:7-8 The plan of our Heavenly Father is to raise His children up to sit in heavenly places.

Learning to Trust Again
“He heals the brokenhearted and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalms 147:3 God has made full provision for healing the pain of past so you can trust again. Have you ever trusted someone to love you that did not know how to love? Or have you ever loved someone that did not know how to receive your love? In both cases you will experience rejection. This type of rejection is very painful especially when it comes from someone whom you really trust. The pain from being hurt by someone you trust is much greater than being hurt by a casual friend.

Search My Heart
“Search me Lord and know my heart, try me and know my ways and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:23-24). All through Scripture we are encouraged by the Lord to examine our heart. In Psalms 139, David prays and asks the Lord to Search his heart. David said, “any wicked way,” this would be any wicked way of thinking, feeling or acting. The thoughts of our heart are sometimes hidden from view, but can be clearly seen by our actions and our responses. Psalm 23:7 says, “As a […]
