Dear Prayer Warriors,

Please Join Me in Prayer for the Coming Week:

Let Us Come in Agreement

Father God, we come before You as this new week begins.  We look forward with anticipation for all You have planned for the days ahead. 

We thank You for bringing us through every storm.  We thank You for walking us through every valley.  We thank You for leading us through every wilderness experience. 

When our hearts could fail, You and You alone covered us and brought us forward. 

This week let us choose to untangle from the ways and concerns of the world.

Daily Inspiration-The Journey of the Magi Toward the Epiphany

The Journey of the Magi

Toward the Epiphany

In reading Daily Guideposts, 2017, I came across a devotional written by Rick Hamlin.  He was sharing about his family tradition of putting up a crèche.  His son, who “…was always a stickler for detail,” set the family tradition so that the wise men did not get put in the manger until January 6, the Epiphany, when they actually visited the Christ child.  Until that time the wise men were placed on a distant table facing the crèche to represent their journey.  In addition, the baby was not placed in the manger

A Prayer for ‘Life’ in the New Year!-2017

Speak ‘Life!’

God hears every desire of your heart. Sometimes His answers are so obvious while other times more subtle.  I would like to share one of the most obvious answers to prayer that I have recently encountered.  My neighbor was rushed into emergency surgery.  The situation was tenuous at best.  The day of his surgery I walked around my development praying for him and his family.  The only word that came to me to pray over him was ‘life’ so I just prayed the word ‘life.’

After several laps around I came home and opened my mailbox.  In with … Read the rest

In The Newness Of May

Renew Your Spirit

May the Lord bless you exponentially in this month of May!  Can you believe it is already May 1?  Spring is upon us.  The earth sprouts all things new as trees turn green and flowers pop up through the soil.  Birds chirp merrily and other little critters scurry about.  It surely is a season of new beginnings.  As you open your windows and clear out the clutter that has accumulated take time to reevaluate your spiritual space as well.  Could it be a time to clean out that which no longer serves … Read the rest

Where Will You Be On Friday?

Hosanna

Hosanna!

I wish you a blessed Palm Sunday.  This day we commemorate the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.   It was a day filled with celebration and hope for the crowds that followed Him.  They all followed Jesus because they believed He was to be their earthly king who would save them from Roman rule.

As the week progressed and He was arrested, tortured and hung on a cross only a few remained.  The original throng believed in Him only on the surface, in the natural, for what they hoped He could do for them.  The remnant believed in … Read the rest

Are Your Gifts Ready?

 Gifts

Do You Have Your Sacred Gifts

Of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh?

Blessings to you as we approach Christmas and commemorate the birth of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ.  In this final week of Advent, the theme is peace.  While we press on into the final days of gift buying, gift wrapping, last minute Christmas cards, food preparation, and all the other things we do to prepare for the holiday keep His peace in your heart.   Hold in your heart  (and it is always a heart issue) the true reason for this “Holyday.”

Prepare your heart and spirit to … Read the rest

Arise to Greater Works!

Easter 010

Step Out of Darkness

And into His Light!

I wish you a blessed Resurrection Sunday!  As you gather with family and friends remember the real reason we celebrate today.  Jesus left an empty tomb and rose from the dead.  Rather than an earthly king as some believed, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  Many view Him as simply a great prophet but no other prophet rose from the dead!  No other prophet is the Son of God.   No other prophet died to open the door to eternal salvation for those who believe in Him.  Only … Read the rest
