I am Safe During any Storm!
“For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.” – Psalm 27:5 If tomorrow you have a “day of trouble” can you keep your heart fixed on the goodness of the Lord? When you keep your heart fixed steadfastly on His goodness you are able to weather any storm. You will travel safely though the terrible storm just like Noah was kept safe inside the Ark. Think for a moment, what if the Holy Spirit quickened […]
You Are Chosen and Have Purpose
“He hath chosen us in Him…” Eph 1:4 Have you ever thought about what it really means to be chosen by God? Do you remember an event or a series of events when it became clear that you were chosen? Did you feel God’s sovereign hand protecting and guiding you? You have been chosen to be God’s child so you can be His representative on the earth. Paul said in Ephesians 1:5, that He planned for us to be adopted and revealed as His own children. This is our identity and purpose in one verse. Once you discover your identity […]
The Day of Freedom
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Did you know that this could be your day for freedom? You must first determine what you need freedom from. Do you need freedom from fear and anxiety or do you need freedom from discouragement? You can gain freedom from these emotional bondage’s by being thankful. It may sound too simple but a thankful heart is a profound truth found in God’s Word. A thankful heart is a heart that sees what God has done and […]
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.

Where Can I Go to Find Safety?
“It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” Psalm 118:8 In the days we are living, there is troubling news on every side. There are wars and rumors of wars, famines, and earthquakes in various places. Everywhere you turn, you hear of devastation. Many are like the man who called our office today from another country asking: Where do I go where it is safe? I couldn’t tell him whether or not he should leave his country, but I could tell him to take refuge in the Lord and He would […]
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 […]
Meditate on His Word Day and Night
“I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto they ways. I will delight myself in thy statues: I will not forget they word.” Ps 119:15-16 As you are spending time daily with the Lord, be prepared for your repositioning. Instead of sitting in the seat on planet earth, frustrated about life’s problems, you will be seated with Christ in heavenly places. If you are a child of God it is your rightful place. This seat is where you are to stay seated regardless of all that is going on around you. This is a seat of perfect peace […]
Drink From the Fountain That Will Never Run Dry
“Oh God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land….” Psalm 63:1 There is a deep well within us that must be filled up daily. When this well has not been filled, you will find yourself dry and thirsty. Jesus said, “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink.” (John 7:37) Jesus is the fountain where we go to drink; He is a fountain that will never run dry. When we spend time with Him praying and reading His Word, we are drinking from the […]
Who Are You?
You may look to your place of birth and the family you grew up in to find out who you are. Whether you were born into a rich home, or born into poverty, it doesn’t really matter. Your family background does not define who you are. Your family background is simply the ground in which you were planted. This is why we are referred to as “Oaks of Righteousness” in Isaiah 61. Now, who are you? As a little girl, I would go to visit my grandfather every summer. He lived in a big beautiful home in the mountains, a […]
He Prepares the Table
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies…” “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” Rev. 3:20 A beautiful banquet table is being prepared for the most splendid banquet in history. You have a special invitation to this banquet if you are a child of God. When Jesus knocked on the door of your heart and you asked Him to come into your life, you were inviting Him in […]
