Releasing to Rise
A Clean Slate: Releasing to Rise As we approach the new year, we are reminded of the beautiful promise in Lamentations 3:22-23: His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning. God doesn’t just want us to turn a page; He wants to give us a clean slate. But to fully embrace the “new thing” He is doing in our lives, we must first be willing to let go of the weights that hold us back. To make room for the blessings and peace God has for your next chapter, it’s time to “clean house” and leave behind: Old Strongholds: Release the bitterness and past that weigh down your…
What does a miracle look like to you
What does a miracle look like to you? According to Bible Study Tools, a miracle is “an occurrence that is above nature and beyond human ability. It demonstrates the intervention of a power not limited by the laws of matter or mind—a power that interrupts the fixed order of natural law. It is a supernatural power at work.” When we look at the life of Jesus, we see so many miracles—he healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, and even calmed the wind and the sea. These were extraordinary and awe-inspiring events. Because of that, we often expect miracles to look dramatic and grand, and in doing so,…
Cooperating with God’s Marvelous Work
Cooperating with God’s Marvelous Work: A Testimony of Deliverance This morning, I had a powerful encounter with God that reminded me of how near He is, and how willing He is to move on our behalf—even in the small, unexpected places of life. A friend had just shared a verse with me that deeply connected to what I experienced: “God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.”— Job 37:5 (NKJV) It struck me deeply. So often we focus on why we can’t understand what God is doing. But today, the Spirit shifted my heart to ask instead:“How can I understand and cooperate with His…
Through the Waters and the Fire
Through the Waters and the Fire — And Still Standing Isaiah 43:1–2 came to mind recently — a beautiful promise, yet one that comes wrapped in imagery few of us would ever choose: deep waters, raging rivers, and consuming fire. It is often seen as a comforting passage, but no one longs to be in the circumstances that make those words relevant. It’s not about avoiding the waters or fires — it’s about being preserved through them. Twelve years ago, I walked through a valley I never wanted to know — the loss of my beloved husband. For me, it felt more like walking through the shadow of death than…
A Powerful Prayer for time such as this
A Powerful Prayer For Time Such As This Do you ever feel like the world around us is spinning out of control? The news is heavy. Our schedules are packed. And sometimes, it feels like we’re holding everything together with one hand while life slowly unravels with the other. Whether it’s the pressure of responsibilities, silent pain no one sees, or fear about what’s ahead—there’s often a deep, unspoken longing within us. A craving for something unshakable. Something real. That’s where prayer comes in. But what do we pray? And how? You can begin with Scripture—like Ephesians 3:14–21—letting the Word shape your words: 14 For this reason I bow my…
Coffins Aren’t for Endings
Coffins aren’t for endings. They’re being recycled for resurrections. Recently, God brought to mind a dream I had not too long ago about a family member. In the dream, this person was lying on a rug that covered a coffin. He had purchased the coffin—not for death, but to bury things he had collected and loved. I saw what he was doing and told him, “People don’t bury coffins—they recycle them.” The image of someone lying on a rug covering a coffin is rich with meaning. A coffin often symbolizes death, finality, or the end of something. But in this dream, the coffin wasn’t for a person—it was being used…

Keep Praying, Your Breakthrough is Coming
Keep Praying, Your Breakthrough is Coming In 1 Kings 18:41-44, we see a powerful example of faith and perseverance: “And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground, and put his face between his knees.“Go and look toward the sea”, he told his servant. And he went up and looked. “There is nothing there,” he said. Seven times Elijah said, “Go back” The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the…
Quiet Your Heart, Trust His Plan
Quiet Your Heart, Trust His Plan In the midst of life’s chaos, when the storms rage and uncertainty fills the air, there is a gentle whisper from God calling us to pause: “Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10 This verse is more than just words; it is an invitation. An invitation to release control, to let go of fear, and to rest in the unwavering power of God. So often, we try to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. We strive, we worry, we push forward, thinking that everything depends on us. But Psalm 46:10 reminds us of a profound truth. We…
Divine Tag – You’re It!
Divine Tag – You’re It! Remember playing tag as a kid?The thrill of running, the laughter, the moment someone taps your shoulder and yells, “You’re it!” Well, here’s some good news – you don’t have to chase after God’s love. He’s already tagged you! Psalm 23:6 reminds us: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” Notice it doesn’t say we have to earn it. It doesn’t say we need to run faster, be better, or work harder. God’s love and mercy aren’t rewards; they’re gifts. This Valentine’s season, while love is in the air, take a moment to reflect on the greatest love of…
