When history tells the story of Covid someday, I am sure that one of plots that will stand out is the tale of the sudden elopement. My daughter, just finishing up her college degree, has many friends who were in the joyful process of wedding planning when quarantine hit mid March of 2020. So many …
Prayer and Fasting During Chaos- Trust Not in Men
When I grew up in the American church, things were much, much different than they are now. When people studied Revelations they would ask, "Why isn't America in Revelation?" They couldn't imagine all the events taking place described in end times prophecy with an American presence in the world. Why? Because we underestimated the power …

Regaining Honor
We need to regain what we have lost. What have we lost? We have lost our identity. For thousands of years, humanity has tied its honor to identity. We were created by The living and eternal God in his image. Yet, we have forgotten our creator and exchanged our identity in his family for chance …
Overcoming with the Lamb of God
In this parable, a defenseless widow is all alone in an unjust world. All she has is her tenacity to go before an unjust judge. He keeps refusing to give her justice, but what makes this widow special? She won't give up! She keeps pleading.
Failure as a Parent Can Be Powerful
You may feel like a failure today, but failing is learning. Learning is powerful! So, failure is powerful. Your inadequacy as a mother is all you need to allow God to bring you into new territory and to grow you as a person!

Jesus knew that the sufferings he would experience on this earth would pale in comparison to the glory of redeeming the children of God, for the sole purpose of it being the Father's will to show them his kindness for all eternity. God desired to lavish his riches and grace upon us, but it could only come at a great cost. It wouldn't be free. It would cost him everything.
The Goodness of God During the Coronavirus Outbreak
I asked the Lord, “What’s going to happen to the church?” I heard, “She will lift up her head. She will be refined, tested and tried, but will see God’s power in a brand new way. She will see the Lord’s provision and work in the middle of the trials.” I felt led to pray that the Lord will give us specialization to minister to people in the middle of the coming judgement and trial.
