Lazarus and Us

Most of us have heard the story of JESUS raising Lazarus from the dead. We may have heard sermons centered around this story. Perhaps we have felt sympathy for Mary and Martha. Maybe we have felt pity for Lazarus who has been in this dark tomb for four days! As you read the story of […]

Marriage

Many years ago the LORD gave me a short, yet very profound, analogy about marriage. One day as I looked at my diamond ring to see if it still sparkled or was in need of cleaning I heard the LORD say, “Marriage is like a diamond.” I asked the LORD to explain how this was […]

Get to Know GOD

I am sensing the time has come when Christians will need to know the LORD for themselves as never before. Knowing about GOD and knowing Him in a personal way are very different. We have to be able to hear His voice for ourselves. It is imperative that we be hidden in Him. In order to […]

Trouble with Blessing

Abraham lived in the blessing and so can we. However, living in the blessing is never without trial of some kind. For Abraham to even begin to live in the blessing he had to first leave all he had ever known (Genesis 12). The LORD tells him if he obeys how he will be blessed. […]

Pray and Step

I sense there are some today in the body of Christ who are frustrated. You have a vision but feel it’s not working or coming together as you thought it would. It seems that no matter which way you turn or what you do it doesn’t work. Sometimes when GOD gives us a vision we begin […]

A Wise Man

Matthew 7:24-29 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it […]

The Other Side

Jesus Calms the Storm 22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on […]

GOD is Faithful!

Hebrews 11:11 “…. because he (Abraham) considered Him faithful who had made the promise.”Abraham didn’t consider the difficulty of the promise. Instead he considered the faithfulness of the One who made the promise. In other words Abraham quit trying to figure out how GOD was going to revive a 100 year old man and a […]
