Sufficiency is a gift from God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5). This weekend we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and Passover. I always think of the prayer we pray during Passover. It’s called Dayenu, which means ‘It would have been enough (sufficient). It is a song of thanksgiving and praise. Take a moment to read this prayer and meditate on it. When you began to look back over your life and see all that God has brought you through, shout Dayenu (It Would Have Read More

Cracks in your armor: Three ways to seal them
Cracks will appear in your armor from time to time. Our armor protects us from the attacks of the enemy. Where do these cracks come from? How do we become aware of these cracks? How do we fix these cracks? The Word of God admonishes us in Ephesians 6:10 – 17: “Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only Read More
Kings: Radical Confrontations
The books of Kings are filled with many who did not back down, they stood their ground amidst radical confrontations. It is the equivalent of the New Testament book of Acts and speaks of the glory of God then and now. When I read the books of Kings, I cannot help but be genuinely inspired by all that was said and done. I must continually put my trust in the God who sent ravens to feed (1 Kings 17:4) and lepers to lead (2 Kings 7:9-11). Who but God could accomplish such feats? Sometimes God will lead you to places Read More
In All of these Things: Be Courageous
Be Courageous! It’s been crazy the last couple of weeks (or months/years). Things are changing rapidly. I remember this time last year when Oklahoma had record flooding and I thought to myself ‘I have never seen anything like this’. It started raining and never stopped until numerous towns were underwater. Some people are still trying to recover from that event. Fast forward a year and now we have a pandemic on our hands. Once again, I thought to myself ‘I have never seen anything like it’. This pandemic brought unemployment, sickness and disease, and death by the thousands. Fast forward Read More
In Him Realities: Taking Your World by Storm
In Him we live, we move and we have our being (Acts 17:28). I am starting a new series this week called In Him Realities. In Him Realities are those things which the Word of God tells us we have ‘In Him‘. Not just In HIm, but By Him, Through Him, In Whom, Through Christ and so many more. John 1:4 tells us In Him we have life. When you were born again you received the Spirit of God which now abides on the inside of you. The Spirit of God is the Power of God. Think about that. The Read More
ROAR: THERE IS VICTORY IN YOUR CAMP
I have been hearing the Holy Ghost say ROAR for the last few weeks. Every song I heard, everything I read and heard was about ROARING. I have been meditating on this for a while and God finally released me to write about it. It’s time for God’s people to speak up, take a stand, and shout to the heavens. The enemy thinks he has won; but God said if you want to see His hand move in your circumstance AND in your camp, you need to RISE UP AND SHOUT. ROAR, BECAUSE THERE IS VICTORY IN YOUR CAMP. Here Read More
