Years ago I had the opportunity to be part of a ministry to feed the homeless. In the beginning I was a little frightened as I'd never been in close contact with those living on the street. As I prayed, asking God for courage to do His will, He gave me a vision. In the … Continue reading Monday Manna – A Lesson on Love
Trials to Triumph and Everything In-Between
On May 16th, our 45th wedding anniversary came and went. We were still without a home of our own. This year, 2009, was proving to be such a mix of blessings and stretching, trials and triumphs. The Matt Redman song, “Blessed Be the Name of the Lord,” became a tune on repeat that warred against … Continue reading Trials to Triumph and Everything In-Between
Monday Manna – A Word About Intercession
Eight years ago I wrote in my journal, "Lord, I feel a failure as an intercessor." I was feeling guilty. “I don’t see you that way." He said. "The One who lives in you always lives to intercede. As I move on your heart, intercession comes. It’s not a to-do-list kind of activity. It’s a … Continue reading Monday Manna – A Word About Intercession
Are You Anointed?
We hear so much about being anointed and walking in the anointing, etc. I felt prompted this morning to take a closer look at what ‘ANOINTED’ actually means. Isaiah 61:1 says, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor.” Anointed here is Strong’s number 4886: to … Continue reading Are You Anointed?
Pentecost – The Power of Love
This is a teaching I did this last Sunday, June 4, 2017. So much of our Pentecost celebrations center around the upper room and the pouring out of Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues. But there is much more to the picture. In fact some key elements of great importance. The disciples were already … Continue reading Pentecost – The Power of Love
Declare Restoration
On June 3, as I waited in the secret place, the Lord took me into a vision. I saw Jesus leaping from mountain top to mountain top, coming toward me. Then He embraced me with such love. We stood and looked out over the landscape of snowy peaks and valleys hidden in the depths. He … Continue reading Declare Restoration
Monday Manna – Life in God is Cylical
I woke up with my back out of sorts. "God, I know I overdid it yesterday," I said to God. "My want to often exceeds Your assignment. Forgive me. Teach me. I really want to go to the street today. Is this Your will?" Let's go on the Ferris wheel. Before me, in an inner … Continue reading Monday Manna – Life in God is Cylical
Holy Spirit–Why Do I Need Him?
First of all, Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. He is not an 'it.' He, in every way, lives and moves and has His being in us as a person. He has emotions (Ephesians 4:30--And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of … Continue reading Holy Spirit–Why Do I Need Him?

Heater Vents and Blogging — Dreams Come True
I almost titled this blog, "I Gained a Heart for the Nations Over a Heater Vent." Wasn't sure that title would grab as much attention. Not everyone has the heart for the nations. But, here is my story: It was nine o'clock. Mom thought I was in bed. She always seemed to be in a … Continue reading Heater Vents and Blogging — Dreams Come True
