Have you ever felt like you needed to be a little more closer to God? I mean, have you ever gotten this strong sense in your spirit that God was calling you to draw nigh (closer) to Him in a greater way? I would venture to say that many of us have felt that way at some point in time or another in our Christian walk. Yet even still, there comes a time when God really impresses upon our hearts to draw a little more [...]
Wake up call! If you are going to do anything for the Lord, you better believe that you are going to experience spiritual warfare. This is a reality. With brand new possibilities and victories, there will be a war waged against you first to accomplish your God-given potential. I know from experience. But don’t just take my word for it. Look back at the Old Testament history. Now, with that being said, it’s time to get ready to prepare for battle my friend. So put [...]
Are you ready to start this new year off right? Are you ready to put 2013 behind you and start afresh in 2014? I hope and pray that you are looking forward to what God has in store for you! Believe that it’s going to be good. I know that I am! Remember Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” So get excited about [...]
Do you know what God has called you to do? If you know, are you walking in it right now or are you on your way? If you don’t know yet, are you seeking Him for the answer to the opening question? I would say that these are pretty important questions to be asking at this time. Some of you might be asking, “Why?” Well, because time is running out. Jesus is coming soon and the Bible tells us that He is coming quickly (Rev. [...]
Are you a procrastinator or do you know someone who is one? Well, lo and behold you are interacting with one right now! Yes, that would be me…Ouch! Can you spell DELIVERANCE! I want it. I need it! And anyone who is in my shoes is probably screaming, “I WANT IT TOO!” No one in their right mind wants to be a procrastinator. That’s why we have to get a handle on this, ladies. We cannot allow procrastination to beat us! It’s time to say [...]
There is nothing like being in God’s presence. Whether you’re alone or at church surrounded by a huge group of people, being in God’s presence is such a personal experience. It’s a divine and intimate connection between you and God alone. At least, it should be. Sometimes, His presence is so great, that you can feel and sense the light of His glory. Have you ever been there before? I have experienced it personally and it’s such a beautiful thing to behold. I actually believe [...]
This one is a tough one. Anyone who has ever been through a spiritual purging before knows exactly what I’m talking about. However, if you’ve never experienced it, just hold on, because it’s a part of the spiritual growth process in your Christian walk. It’s the part where the things that are not like Christ have to be removed from our lives to produce spiritual maturity. It doesn’t feel too hot, but the good news is that the Holy Spirit is there to guide us [...]
As I searched online for information on women in ministry, I found it pretty challenging to find something that was all encompassing. What I mean by this is that I couldn’t find much on how to balance it all out with the many hats that we wear. So as I prayed about this week’s blog post, the Lord gave it to me to write on this subject. I pray that it will be a blessing to many women who read it. With that being said, [...]
Many times when I’m getting ready for a big task or assignment from the Lord, it’s like I have this “Face Off” with the enemy. I mean, he seriously tries to create road blocks to hinder God’s plan. Have you ever experienced this before? It comes in all forms like negative people, tough circumstances, doubt, fear, and sometimes even when it looks like things are beginning to fall apart at the seams, here he comes. However, during times like these, that’s when we have to [...]
As I was journaling earlier this week, this random question popped up. And without a shadow of a doubt, I knew the Lord was giving me the next post. He’s so faithful. So, with that being said, I’ll ask the title question again, “Who Are You Serving Today?” Meaning, who are you actively helping in the world around you? If you are serving in your church, community, or on a global level already, then I encourage you to keep pressing as you continue to do [...]
