Listen. What are you hearing? Lies, self-doubts, whispers from the enemy? I want to offer some encouragement to those of you who are having doubts about your calling. This has been a rough year for a lot of people. Jobs have been lost, loved ones have died, bills are piling up and God seems to be helping everyone, except you. Maybe things are not going as well as you would like or have hoped. Maybe the enemy is constantly whispering in your ears that you are worthless, a nobody who is doomed to fail. Well, I have good news for Read More

Part 2 – Supernatural Provision: Choices
Supernatural provision, Part 1, defined lean times as an absence of food, finances, etc. In other words, not enough. In those times, we must consider the choices we make. Part 2 reveals how you can still receive supernatural provision in the worst of times by studying the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-50). Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt. When we study his reaction to all of this and the choices he made, we find a young man who refused to allow his circumstances to dictate how he lived his life. He stayed true to his Read More
Part 1 – Supernatural Provision: Trust God in the Lean Times
We have to learn to TRUST God in times of famine and times of plenty. Lean times are defined as a time when there is not enough. A time when there are shortages of food and finances. Supernatural provision is not the norm for most people; however, it is very possible. So when does God provide for you supernaturally? Is it when you have a need? Is it when you spend hours crying and complaining about what you do not have? No. God responds to FAITH, not need. Take a look at Exodus 16. God sent manna from heaven each day Read More
It Is Well With My Soul!
My thoughts today dwell on the hymn, It Is Well With My Soul. It’s my 62nd birthday. A great day to celebrate my life and all the wonderful things God has done for me. I recently completed a scripture garden in my backyard. It’s filled with plants, stones, an angel statue and a welcome garden flag. The majority of the stones in this garden have scripture printed on them. Some single scriptures like Mark 11:23-24, others are combined in groups to create the basic theme of the scripture, Galatians 5:22-23 (Fruits of the Spirit). One of the stones I created Read More
Your Past: It’s Under the Blood
Your past is exactly that, your past. As we say in Pentecostal circles, “It’s Under the Blood”. There are times when we think about our past and we wish we could erase some of the bad and add some good things. There are times when we want to hide who we were and pretend that we were born as someone else. When the enemy approaches you with tales from your past (even if it was just 5 minutes ago), you can say to him, I don’t know what you are talking about. Tell him, it’s under the blood. It’s not what Read More
House Builder: Jesus Who?
The main themes in the books of Chronicles are house builder; the building of God’s house, the temple () and maintaining the lineage of the Lord Jesus, through David’s house. There are always rules which need to be followed when building, building codes. David makes preparation to build the temple (), however; God would not allow him to build it (). Solomon, David’s son, builds it () and throughout many kings are crowned in it including Hezekiah () and Josiah (). Let’s not forget that the law of the covenant was rediscovered in it (). As someone said, ‘the law of the covenant Read More
