Not every battle is your battle. The Word tells us that God will fight our battles for us (Exodus 14:14). That’s not the battle I am referencing here. Some of you are fighting the wrong battle. You have gotten off course. You left the path God created for you, and now you are trying to win battles and break down doors that serve no purpose (Psalm 119:1 [MSG]). Stop, repent, and get back on track. Your battle is in the other direction. You are stagnant and beaten down because you are trying to fight and win an unwinnable battle. You Read More

Mindset Mondays: Godly Success
You can obtain Godly SUCCESS! What is your view of success? Is it having money, status, lots of friends in high places, or having your dream job? God’s view is totally different. Here are five key aspects of success according to the Word: 1. Obedience to God’s Will Success is rooted in obeying and trusting God’s commands rather than pursuing personal ambitions. True success comes when we align our lives with God’s purposes. Joshua 1:8: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything Read More
Mindset Mondays: Keep Going
At times the ride of life is tough. I am here to tell you to keep going, keep riding. I have been dealing with a particularly frustrating situation, and there are days when I really want to say that’s enough. I want to let someone else do the adulting for the day. But, you know what? I realized that I am the adult and only I can handle my frustrations. I have to keep going. I have a poem hanging in my office directly above my desk. It’s a picture of a carousel horse and a prayer. The poem reminds Read More
Mindset Mondays: Lazy in Faith
Some, myself included, are lazy in faith. We know we are already healed, but we fail to utilize our faith. Healing is part of our covenant with God. We were healed by His stripes. Notice the ‘were‘; it’s already done (1 Peter 2:23-25). From the Old Testament and throughout the New Testament God continually reveals to us His plan for us to be whole. I know people who are in need of healing, and I pray for them daily. Some of them know they are already healed, and others need a reminder of what Jesus did for us on the Read More
Mindset Mondays: I Don’t IMPLY!
I Don’t IMPLY! Imply means to suggest something without saying it directly. I don’t imply. One of my favorite TV series is The Last Ship. It’s about a navy warship that was sent to help find the cure for a deadly pandemic. The captain of the ship is Captain Tom Chandler. He made a statement to an adversary, and the adversary asked what he was implying. Captain Chandler said, “I am a military man, and I don’t imply!” We need to have that same attitude with the devil. We, too, are military men and women in God’s service, and we Read More
