Prepare! Storm warnings are out for the east coast as Hurricane Irma roars toward land as a Category 5 hurricane. Storms come and go. Did you know September is actually National Preparedness Month? Please check out the website to learn how to prepare when natural storms are headed your way. In the natural, we are encouraged to prepare for storms coming our way. In the Spirit, we should also be prepared for storms. These spiritual storms may not come with heavy rain, winds, flooding, or tornados, but they can be just as devastating. What can we do to prepare? In Read More

Bitterness: Life Lesson from the Book of Ruth
Overcoming bitterness is another life lesson from the Book of Ruth. I am getting close to the end of my new book, 10 Life Lessons from the Book of Ruth. Here is another excerpt. Hope you enjoy it. Please leave comments. Both of these women(Naomi and Ruth) suffered great losses; however, they reacted differently to those losses. Naomi became bitter because of what she had lost (). This is Naomi’s whining (murmuring, complaining, groaning) passage. Every word out of her mouth was negative and she put the blame squarely on God. I think she forgot that God was not the Read More
No Condemnation: Stop Condemning Yourself!
Here’s a great message from guest blogger, Eve Perry: No Condemnation, Stop Condemning Yourself! I was leaving a seminar on Saturday with one of the ladies from my small group and she decided to do a selfie and take some other pictures. She took a couple of pictures of me just laughing and having fun. One of the pictures was of me laughing really hard and a normal fun picture. I sent this picture to a friend with the thought in my heart, “this will make him laugh after a tough week and a rough day at work”. He was helping Read More
Suddenlies: Godly Mushrooming
We are in a season of ‘Godly Mushrooming’ or Suddenlies. Things are speeding up in the natural and in the Spirit. Have you noticed it? The word ‘mushroom‘ has many meanings including ‘an umbrella shaped fungus’. The definition I am using today is ‘to spring up suddenly or multiply rapidly’. The verb form of mushroom is ‘mushrooming’ meaning a sudden, rapid growth. Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear suddenly overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. It’s been so wet and rainy here in Tulsa that huge mushrooms are springing up everywhere; which inspired me to write this post. Take a look at Read More
Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One!
Shema! Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One! (). Can you believe we are already into August 2017? It seems like yesterday that I started Inspiration Flows; it has been over a year ago. This was the first post on Inspiration Flows and I thought in celebration of my blog birthday I would repost it. Being reminded to hear, listen and obey God is always a good thing. Have you ever been somewhere and thought, it’s so noisy in here I can’t even think? Would you like to know how to live above the noise? There are Read More
Process: Birthing the Promise
Process is needed to birth your Promise. God’s PROMISE far outweighs and exceeds the pain, the push, the rejection, the losses, and the loneliness you experience during the process! Stay Focused, especially during this season in your life. Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10 NIV). God always multiplies your seeds sown in obedience, time, words, deeds and seeds sown monetarily or materially. Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he receive (Galatians 6:7 NKJV). Jesus went through the process of coming to earth as a mere man and dying Read More
