This week’s blog is about ‘Keeping the Faith’. In Numbers 13:25-14:10, the twelve spies come back with some very large grapes and a story to tell. Did you know, you were born to taste the grapes (awesome gifts from God)? God provided manna for His people during their 40-year journal through the desert. God does nothing without purpose. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and our guide. God provided for them in the desert because there was typically nothing else for them to eat; however, now the people must learn to trust God by working the land and sowing and 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
Praise and Faith: Secrets to Answered Prayer
Praise, thanksgiving, and faith are keys to answered prayer. If you want to receive answers to your prayers be sure to: 1. Praise Him and Thank Him. As we read the Lord’s Prayer we observe Jesus teaching the disciples to begin their prayer with PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING. Psalm 100:4 states, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.” Begin by praising and thanking Him for being your provider (Jehovah Jireh); your peace (Jehovah Shalom); your healer (Jehovah Rophe); your shepherd (Jehovah Rohi); and your righteousness (Jehovah Tsidkenu). Praise creates an 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
D-Words: Discouragement
The third and final D-Word in this series is Discouragement. Discouragement may greet you when you rise in the morning or when you lay down to sleep for the night. Yet, there is a cure for this Dream Killer. It’s called the Word of God. Let’s take a look at the life of the Apostle Paul. Paul had many reasons to be discouraged. In , Paul tells us, “Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a Read More
D-Words: Delays
Last week we learned our first D-Word, Doubts. Our second D-Word is Delays. Unfortunately, delays happen. Our focus scripture is – “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” (AMP) Even when you have done everything right, delays happen. We often think that delays in our spiritual life are from the Read More
