BLOG
This week we are introducing you to a seven week series based upon my Encounter His Truth Personal Guidebook. We will explore the principle of having “The Mind of Christ.” My blog will enable you to consider your patterns of thinking, what habits keep you wandering in the desert, and which ones hold your life hostage - keeping you from the biblical “Promised Land of Milk and Honey.”
Read MoreYou may ask yourself, “How do I go about changing my thinking?”
Are you willing to present yourself to God as a living sacrifice? To be gracefully and beautifully broken by the Lord?
This process is messy, uncomfortable and at times even frightening… However, it is a beautiful process that takes place for our good and His glory.
Read MorePicture this, if you will: You are surrounded by thick brush and cannot see your way clear. You don't know which way to turn - which direction to go. It is hot and steamy, too. In fact, the humidity is almost more than you can bear.
Read MoreAsk yourself this question… Do you merely want to survive or do you want to thrive? Do you believe that God’s love is greater, more powerful than your pain and suffering? Do you sense evil all around you, and are you searching for a way out?
Read MoreWhat a promise of hope that God gives us in this scripture! It's a promise that no matter what we are facing today, if we put our trust and hope in Him, we will overcome!
Read MoreIn part one, we discussed our transformation and the renewing of our minds; now let’s focus on Hope in the Fire.
Read MoreLies come in like rushing water. They flood our minds and affect our heart. But how do we define lies? What are we talking about? They are our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and our desires that we have and act out when we live in the natural realm apart from the plan of God. Now, ask yourself, “How do I respond to God's refining fire?” How can I be made aware of these lies and be able to dispel them?
Read MoreKeys to Unlocking the Door to the Kingdom of God
God won't bless your life simply for making some sort of effort to effect change in your life IF you have wrong key. You have to have the right key!
Read MoreHave you ever lived through such a dark time in your life where it seemed as if things were completely out of control? You may have wondered, "How will I ever get out of bed and get going for the day?"
Read MoreWhen we become trapped, we are blinded to the truth and deaf to the Holy Spirit's voice. Then we try to justify ourselves - and in the deception we think that whatever the snare is - that it actually is a good thing; we rationalize by thinking "I really do not do this too much..."
Read MoreThink about the word SNARE. No, not a snare drum! Instead, it’s a word that connotes an evil trap. Please read again the Bible verse above, where it says, "The fear of man brings about a snare."
Read MoreHow many times a day do you either worry, have some type of anxiety, or seem to be overrun by fear? Have you ever asked yourself who is it that sits on the throne of your heart? Who competes for your eyes?
Read MoreWhat a vision Isaiah had from God about one of His greatest attributes - holiness. During the time of Isaiah, the land was filled with sinful people. They were broken and suffering - surrounded by evil and sorrows. Does this sound familiar?
Read MoreIn Robert D. Jones book, Uprooting Anger he defines anger as “a universal problem, prevalent in every culture, experienced by every generation.” So the question remains, what is this problem called anger? And how do we clean out “our heart” so that anger cannot survive? Are you willing to sit with the Lord and ask Him, “Why am I bitter towards You, others, or myself?
Read MoreImagine if you were to record all that you say during a given day. Later when you replayed the recording, what would it sound like to you? Would you approve or would you wince and shrink back from what you heard?
Read MoreHow can God work all things out for our own good? That is the question. The Bible says that He will for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Here is what the Apostle Paul wrote on this subject: “That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good” Romans 8:28 (The Message)
Read MoreDo you believe and trust in His Word? What a promise our Lord gives us to know that we are HIS! All we need to do is accept Him and believe in Him for our salvation.
Read MoreI was one that Jesus specifically prayed for. I cried out, “Help me!” And most likely you have, too. I cried from the very core of my being in my deepest, darkness day. “God, help me, for I do not know what I am doing!” At that moment I was desperate for answers, desperate for a hope greater than myself! Desperate for healing, hope, and a love that only He can give.
Read MoreHave you ever encountered sudden difficulties? Your once straight path suddenly became crooked causing you to question God in the midst of your circumstance. Did you then wonder how it came about that you seemingly got off track and came to the point of feeling abandoned?
Read MoreSo you finally came to the place in your life where you understood that you needed to make a change for the better. Not simply a minor change such as going on a diet or choosing to exercise.
