God calls the things that are not…as though they are….
12 years ago, my husband and I started Emmaus Church with my parents, Mike and Jeanne Dean.

Confidence in Prayer- Get it!
Tonight, I am going to my Daddy, my Abba Father, and asking him to bring someone up from their sick bed. This is a serious situation, and honestly, I am praying in faith, not knowing what I will wake up to in the morning. But, I am praying in confidence. 1 John 3:1 See how great …

God’s Will vs. The Tyranny of Self Part 1
Who am I? What is my purpose? What is God's will for my life? When Jesus prepared for his death, wrestling with being the final sacrificial lamb for the nation of Israel and the world, he sweat drops of blood. He begged his disciples to watch and pray with him. "The spirit is willing, but …
