MY VISIONS
The Essence of Joy
If you want something bad enough, you will seek it out. If you don't want it, you will refuse to allow it in. For the past few months I have been on a journey regarding Joy. I have to admit, I had to break through a lot [...]
What Am I Thinking About?
Sometimes it is hard to be a follower of Christ. Especially when his teachings can be hard for us to follow. Let's take a look at a sermon Jesus gave... Read Mark 7:1-23 Why is this teaching hard? What is Jesus communicating here? Am I really accountable [...]
Where Is God’s Comfort?
Last week we talked about comfort and our need to ask God for comfort. Let me review that a little bit and kind of break that down again. When we are struggling with pain and suffering, all we really want is for it to stop. We ask God [...]
Swords Are to Fight the Enemy, Not Each Other
Why do My children not see when the enemy is working in their minds, their families, their churches, and their communities?
Choice: The Great I Am or The Figment Of Our Imaginations
Jesus explains, "Many see Me as they would a human with ultimate power. As they do they create within their idea of who I am with their own ambitions, desires, or even of their fears. I am created in the minds of people after their image. Because of [...]

Going Beyond Our Doubts and Questions
During prayer I ask Jesus how to help people in their walk with Him. His answer may surprise you, or maybe just confirm where you are at. Jesus says, "My people are filled with doubts and questions. Many don't know how to find the answers or where to [...]
Where Are You, Lord?
Jesus smiles. "I am with you always." Why does it sometimes feel like You are nowhere near? Jesus answers, "Child, I am always with you, I do not walk away. You live in a world of choices with a free will within you as I have designed [...]
Dreams Of Peace Becoming Reality
Today as we celebrate one of this nation's greatest advocates for equality, I stand in awe at Martin Luther King, Jr's consistent posture of peace, even in the midst of aggressive attacks. Today, interracial tension seems to be everywhere according to the news reports. I wonder though, are [...]
Walking With God…. Moment By Moment
Being a child of the Living God gives us wonderful privileges and opportunities. God desires to walk beside us every moment of our day, even in the good and the bad. Below is an excerpt from As God Sees on how to keep holding onto our Lord's hand [...]
“Humility” Can It Become A Powerful Four Letter Word?
This advent season as I read, study and share the Christmas Story of Jesus, I am struck, once again, by the humility exemplified by the King of Glory. Jesus left the grandeur of eternity to be born an infant who was then placed in a manger. What a stark contrast. One moment Jesus was in the presence of God in Heaven, the next in the presence of livestock in a, for lack of a better word, barn. In that one iconic moment, God revealed to man
Fixing The Tough Times
Is life tough right now? Are you trying to find a way out, a way to make things right or comfortable? Our Lord has a word for us who are always trying to fix tough times in ours (and, ok, I admit it) others' lives. "Wait. Come to [...]
