Power is needed to defeat all of the schemes of the enemy. Where do you get your power? Not your electrical power. Even though that is important. On Friday we started to have power issues at our house. Some outlets worked; others did not work. The clock on the kitchen range kept going on and off. We were almost devoid of power. For some reason all of the overhead lights in the house worked just fine. To fix our power problem, we called on the experts, and they arrived promptly to fix the problem. At times we find ourselves in Read More

Birthday: Five More Years Pursuing Purpose
Today is my birthday, and I am going to repost a story from five years ago (with updates, of course). I was born on June 17, Father’s Day. I am not going to talk about Fathers; I am going to talk about my journey and why I do what I do. To do this, I am using one of the songs from the Hamilton Musical, Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story. The song starts like this: “Let me tell you what I wished I’d known when I was young and dreamed of glory. You have no control over Read More
Released: Demolishing Strongholds
Get RELEASED. Are you trying to run your race, but all you are doing is running in place? Does it feel like you are trying to row a boat that’s fighting against the wind and waves? Do you need the storms in your life to calm down? Are you stuck in the mud pit of life? It’s time to be released from those strongholds that are holding you back from fulfilling your divine calling. I hear you saying, ‘I have been trying to move, but I can’t seem to get anywhere. Most importantly, God hears you too. Remember, He told Read More
Mindset Mondays: The Power and Purpose of Waiting
Waiting can be hard. The Word instructs us to wait. I was reading my devotional the other day and came upon this definition of wait. The Hebrew word for wait is not a passive, boring waiting that tempts you to sleep and slumber. No, the Hebrew word for wait is qavah. It is an active word that means to wait, look for, hope, expect, look eagerly for, to lie in wait for, to linger for, to collect, bind together, or to be collected. The first time this word shows up in the Bible, however, it was not people who waited, Read More
Psalm 91: Prayer of Protection
Psalm 91 is a prayer of protection. This is part of your heavenly armor (Ephesians 6:13-20). You can rest in God’s assurance. Pray Psalm 91 daily and watch God keep you safe and secure. When the enemy is seeking someone to devour, don’t let it be you. Here is the Psalm in the Passion Translation (TPT). When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence. He will rescue you from Read More
Eternity: No Time Like the Present
God put Eternity in our hearts. There is no time like the present time to start searching for your divine purpose. Take a few moments today to think about God’s plan and call on your life. We are called and appointed to a God-given assignment. Even when we think that time is not on our side; we can be assured that eternity is. Psalm 139:14 states, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” God took the time to put every piece needed inside of us so that we can complete Read More
