This week’s message is about the power of silence. I love the sound of silence. Lots of people cannot stand to be in a place of silence without noise of any kind (no television, radio, music, talking, just silence). I find it so very soothing. I practice the power of silence daily. With so many talking heads in the world these days, I especially find it refreshing to practice silence. Silence is defined as the absence of sound; stillness. I enjoy quiet times. Someone had this to say about silence: Silence fuels the prophetic gift within you. It is a Read More
Most of All: GOD LOVES YOU!
God loves you. There is no clearer meaning in scripture than those three words. A huge price was paid for you, so never forget how much He adores you. There is nothing you have done or could ever do to change that. “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, Read More
Surrender
It’s time we chose to surrender. When we do, deeper depths await us. We often hear the Lord speak, and then we decide we know what’s best. I am guilty, and it’s time we chose to surrender instead of pretending we did not hear what the Holy Spirit spoke to us. Lately, I have been hearing the Holy Spirit tell me to rest. Rest is hard for me since I like to stay busy; however, I am forcing myself. A recent prophetic word I read shows us what happens when we do not listen to His voice and surrender. See Read More
Something to Ponder: Which are You?
Here is something to ponder. Which of these are you? I love the story in Luke 10 about Jesus and the good Samaritan. Let me paraphrase it for you for 2025. The story starts with a lawyer asking, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ Jesus, being Jesus, in all of His wisdom, replied, “What does the scripture say?” The answer, of course, is: You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself. The lawyer asks, but who Read More
Jehovah-Sabaoth: The God Who Troubles Your Troubles
Jehovah-Sabaoth (יהוה צְבָאוֹת) means “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of Armies.” This name emphasizes God as the supreme commander of heavenly and earthly forces, fighting on behalf of His people and troubling the troubles that rise against them. The word “Sabaoth” (צְבָאוֹת) refers to a great multitude, an army, or a host of heavenly beings. It is a name that reveals God’s authority over both the spiritual and natural realms—showing that He is not only a protector but a warrior who wages war against forces that oppose His will. In 2 Kings 7:6-7, God sends a sound to Read More
God’s Providence: Stop Ignoring the Ravens
We need to stop ignoring the ravens, (signs) of God’s goodness. I was going outside for a walk the other day, and I saw this huge bird (a hawk, I think) land across the street. I immediately heard the Holy Spirit say, ‘Pay attention.’ How often do we hear those words from the Holy Spirit, and we ignore them or just assume it’s our thoughts? God’s guidance and provision often come through unexpected means. A friend of mine told me she was awakened from a deep sleep with a loud knock. At first, she thought it was someone knocking at Read More
