I am jumping on to share my excitement. My latest book went on Amazon today. God told me it was time to put my Psalm 91 studies in book form. It is available for purchase in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. And here is a short blurb about it: The words David chose, and the … Continue reading Know God – Defeat the Enemy

Wine, Milk, and Humility – A Lesson in Hebrew
I’ve been digging into the Word lately to see what Jesus taught and how He lived humility. I came to Matthew 5 and discovered that humility is woven through these familiar scriptures from the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 I looked at this … Continue reading Wine, Milk, and Humility – A Lesson in Hebrew
Teach Us How to Pray
Jesus often pulled aside by Himself to pray. (Matthew 14:23, Matthew 26:36, Mark 1:35) The disciples observed Him and saw the power He exhibited when He healed the sick and set the demonized free. They saw the connection between prayer and power. So, in Luke 11:1 we hear their plea. Now it came to pass, as He was … Continue reading Teach Us How to Pray
What is Our Motivation in Giving?
An example of a Tzedakah Box “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise, you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in … Continue reading What is Our Motivation in Giving?
The Matter of Oaths and Swearing – What Does Jesus Say?
Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the … Continue reading The Matter of Oaths and Swearing – What Does Jesus Say?
Oh What Great Blessing is Seen in Those Who are Meek
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 Meekness is often looked upon as weakness, wimpy. But true meekness is something altogether different. Webster defines Meek as quiet, gentle, patient, long-suffering, peaceful, easily imposed on, submissive. The translators of the Greek New Testament have similar definitions. But their definitions appear more … Continue reading Oh What Great Blessing is Seen in Those Who are Meek
Oh, What Great Blessings are Seen in Those Who Mourn.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn? Surely, this isn't true. But the Amplified Bible sounds even more absurd. Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God’s favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, … Continue reading Oh, What Great Blessings are Seen in Those Who Mourn.
Introduction to the Constitution of the Kingdom of God
In the world we are living in today, here in America, we need to know the Constitution. If we don't follow the guidelines and boundaries put in place by our founding fathers, we can get into trouble. We also need to know the rights and authority we have as citizens. Jesus came to earth for … Continue reading Introduction to the Constitution of the Kingdom of God
“Oh, how I love Your law!” Is God’s law something to love?
David wrote, "Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;For they are ever with me." Psalm 119:97-98 Many Christians believe that the law written in the Old Testament is something to be discarded. They say the law is no longer valid … Continue reading “Oh, how I love Your law!” Is God’s law something to love?
The Word Testimonies is More Than You Think
I was brought up in a church where every Wednesday evening there was a Prayer and Testimony service. People would stand and tell how God had blessed them that week. And when my husband worked for the Sheriff's department, one of his assignments was to be a bailiff at the courthouse. He daily stood in … Continue reading The Word Testimonies is More Than You Think
