A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
Why do you beat your chest and speak with such veracity? Why is ego your platform and pride your microphone? Why do you speak into what you have no power to do and speculate about what you do not know? Why are you controlled by your imagination? Is your word able to create what you…

Willingness
Consider the results of your efforts when you approach them with a willing heart; a willing spirit that challenges the shortcomings of the body. In your prayers, ask God for a willing spirit to sustain you (Psalms 51:12) because willingness does not recognize barriers, only obstacles. Willingness gives freely; it does not require a contract…

Obedience
Obedience Remove from all that you do, the fear of repercussion, challenge, failure, or unwanted burden and you may find a need to act out of love. For love is walking in obedience to our Father’s commands (2 John 6), which are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Remove the blinders of sin that cause us…

The Art of Deception; The Rewards of Faithfulness
Proverbs 6:16 These six things the Lord hates, yes seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren (NKJV).

Life’s Diary
Psalm 25: 1-7 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, Let no one who waits on you be ashamed. Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me Your ways, O…

Victory Over Doubt
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil (NKJV). In the search for peace, our troubled hearts often cast…

Sacrifice
SACRIFICE A solemn expression, lade with images of broken hearts and troubled minds. A message on the cross, accompanied by grief and darkness; yet defeated, giving way to joyful songs and divine light. A message often misunderstood, dismissed as foolishness to those who are perishing; but accepted as the power of God to those who…

Let’s Take a Walk
Can I convince you to take a trip with me? Better yet, will you save me the trouble of attempting to convince you and willingly join me down a narrow, rocky, road that is often only revealed one step at a time? Sometimes you will feel as if you are all alone; sometimes the horizon…

Show me favor, Adonai, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well. PSALM 32:10 We are all susceptible to anger that darkens our soul and body; anger that clouds our thinking. The decisions we make when we are angry and when we have no peace may create

“From the time of Yochanan the Immerser until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been suffering violence; yes, violent ones are trying to snatch it away” MATTHEW 11:12 Other Bible translations render the end of the above verse, “the violent take is by force.” These timeless words point to a dilemma that we still see

“Lay hold of my words in your heart, keep my commands and you will live!” Proverbs 4:4 The word of Adonai is to our spiritual being as healthy food is to our body. When we neglect to nourish our bodies, we will become frail which may lead to death. Likewise, neglecting the word of God will lead

“Therefore, whoever rejects this teaching is rejecting not a man but God, indeed, the One who gives you the Ruach HaKodesh, which is his” 1 thessalonians 4:8 Rejection can be difficult, possibly even devastating to some people.
