Have you ever paused to reflect on the unique gift within you that you might have overlooked? It could be a remarkable ability that has accompanied you throughout your life—something you’ve taken for granted and yet holds great significance. These gifts, often referred to as abilities or talents, are inherently yours. God bestowed something in you at birth, while other abilities are awakened when you experience spiritual rebirth or are filled with the Spirit. As you journey through spiritual maturity,…
Enduring strength is from the heart; our enemies overthrown, but a head that bows in silent prayer; a mystery still unknown.
My friend recently told me she and her husband had been arguing. It escalated to a level of saying ungodly things, stomping, slamming, and finally silence for days.

Anyone who watches football has seen this play a hundred times: the quarterback falls back, throws the perfect pass, and there is no one there to catch the ball. We watch the ball hit the turf and roll away with no player in the vicinity.

When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, they wanted to emulate how Jesus abided in the Father, not the exact words He used….
Christian author O.S. Hawkins writes in one of his books, “more than any other book in the Bible, Judges describes the times in which we are living in today. The last line of this book speaks volumes about their situation…and ours: ‘Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.’” The theme of the book of Judges is that when there is no king in our life, there is no standard to live by, and we use our own desires…
Throughout the history of the United States, many have prayed and interceded for this country. From the beginning, our Founding Fathers faithfully prayed and believed for the United States to thrive, particularly as we were separating from the oppression of England and establishing our own nation. Consider praying on of the following prayers to speak over America. These are based on quotes and prayers from our Founding Fathers, and grounded in the Word of God. 1) “Lord, I come before…
Happy Summer 2025! They may not understand and will often disagree, but the quietness I’ve found is the perfect place for me.
The Spiritual Journey is the path which leads through the maze of personal motives, behaviors, attitudes and corresponding actions to liberate the believer from constraints, oppressions and confinements. The decision to cooperate and make adjustments or corrections as the path bends and turns, determines the measure of the outcome. Each believer must follow the path they are being shown, however different from others’ opinions or experiences it may seem. Accepting the invitation requires total commitment. As the long journey begins,…
