“Follow Me”
Matthew 9:9 I am reading the Gospel According to Matthew right now, and I questioned something I noticed for the first time today and not in my prior readings of it. In Chapter 9, verse 9, Jesus calls Matthew to follow Him: As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting… Continue reading

An Open Letter
There’s a viral situation playing out online and all over social media right now. Exposure followed by mockery and memes of said exposure. I am human and understand mocking someone’s foolishness. Being transparent, it was my first inclination, too. Then conviction hit. I am human, but I am a Christian first and foremost. I am… Continue reading

To The Sent Ones – Arise and Prepare the Way of the Lord!
Months ago, the Lord woke me up at 1:57 am for several nights in a row. He led me to this verse: Now Elizabeth’s full time came for her to be delivered, and she brought forth a son. ~Luke 1:57 NKJV This verse refers to the birth of Jesus’ cousin, John the Baptist. Prophetically, even… Continue reading

The Davids Are Arising
The Church is in a long war of sorts right now. Houses built by Saul are being exposed and weakened. Houses built by David are being exposed and strengthened. (II Samuel 3:1 NKJV) This war is a call to the Body back to its first love, back to the heart of the Father (Revelation 2:4).… Continue reading

Rest in the Nest
Exodus 14:14 NIV – “The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.” There is a trail near our house that I have walked for many years now. I was nearing the end of my walk on a particular day, feeling great, accomplished, satisfied, and at peace. I enjoyed the sunrise, the deer,… Continue reading

Making the Unknown God Known
A consequence of religion is not knowing the one true living God as Father. This is because religion causes us to focus on rules, rites, and rituals rather than who God is and who He is meant to be to us. In turn, we may blame religion for being boring, unfulfilling, uninspiring. Consequently, we may… Continue reading

Joy Comes in the Morning
I posted this on Facebook on April 8, 2023, and I felt led to update and repost here today. I pray it encourages you! We rarely talk about Saturday. It’s often called “silent Saturday,” yet so very much is said in the silence. Silent Saturday is the day between Jesus’ death and resurrection. I imagine… Continue reading

The Father Sends His Love
Here is my confession: I have developed a love (obsession?) for indoor plants. It started with the Christmas cactus I received at Christmas from my sister-in-law, and it has only grown since. I now have four indoor plants. Let’s call it a generational blessing. My mom was an indoor plant lady. I remember living in… Continue reading

Revival is Me, Revival is You
2 Chronicles 7:14 In the time I have been saved, I have heard a lot of talk in the “big C” Church about revival. Let me just say this at the outset. I’m no expert on the topic of revival on a macro level. I know there are amazing people of God who are nearly… Continue reading
