In reading Psalms the other day I read that “fretting” causes harm. I immediately thought of how Jesus tells us not to worry. Worry is synonymous with anxiety and fear.
Countless studies have shown that to live in a state of chronic stress or worry is most detrimental to your health on all levels. Mentally and emotionally it leads to depression. Physically is causes disease to include heart disease, cancer, etc. Spiritually, it keeps you far from God.
Think about it. If you are steeped in worry and all of its components
Sometimes, when you least expect it, things change. What appeared stuck for so long suddenly shifts. It is as if the sun comes out after a seemingly long downpour.
Just as the grass glistens after the rain, so the world around you sparkles with new life. There is fresh opportunity. There is fresh anointing. There is fresh revelation.
Wait for it. Watch for it. Do not miss it!
For it is written:
“Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write,
What’s your plan? So many go through life letting life happen to them. As a ship tossed about in the waves, their life is precarious with constant ups and downs. Each new event can serve to capsize them if there is no plan.
The Apostles chose to follow Jesus into a boat. They were fine with their decision to follow Him until the storm arose. When they were in the boat being tossed to and fro they became so fearful. They had no plan. Their original plan to follow Him did not
In this technological age much courtesy has been lost. People watch TV while talking on the phone, text and talk on cell phones while sharing a meal with someone. Bottom line is that this is extremely rude at a minimum.
It is quite prideful to think that another person’s time has no value. In essence, when you devalue another’s time you devalue them. Determine to be respectful of others.
Intentionally listen without texting or answering another call. Turn off the TV if you are speaking with another. Be present to the one
In Esther’s Warriors Ministry, we began in 2012 ‘praying the states’ for healing for our Nation. Queen Esther went before the king to intercede for her people. We go before the King to intercede for our Nation ‘for such a time as this’ (Esther 4:14). We pray for each state in the order of admission to the Union and will continue. Our Nation more than ever needs consistent, diligent prayer cover state by state.

So very many people of all ages today are challenged with various chronic conditions…some disorders are visible yet countless are not. As you journey through your own life, if you or a loved one have such challenges know that God walks every step with you. You are never alone.
If you are blessed with good health be very grateful. Live in thanksgiving for that blessing. Whatever your particular circumstance, walk in the grace and compassion of Jesus Christ. There is so much bullying today. Sadly, that behavior is not just among children.
So many profess Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives but the way they live does not reflect that. If you allow worldly doors to remain open in your life you are also creating cracks in your spiritual foundation. The enemy roams the earth looking for just such cracks through which to enter and wreak havoc in your life and family.
Whatever you let in through your eye and ear gates will affect you and your quality of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health. If of the world, it will greatly distort
How is your January going so far? This month is almost over. As the first month of the year, what takes place in January (the first fruits) sets the tone for the remaining eleven months.
Personally, I have had what would appear to be a very challenging month if only viewed with natural eyes. However, from a spiritual perspective, I can see God is clearing out people, places and things that cannot go forward with me.
For many He is correcting and establishing a solid course. He is bringing revival both personally
