Supernatural provision, Part 1, defined lean times as an absence of food, finances, etc. In other words, not enough. In those times, we must consider the choices we make. Part 2 reveals how you can still receive supernatural provision in the worst of times by studying the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-50). Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt. When we study his reaction to all of this and the choices he made, we find a young man who refused to allow his circumstances to dictate how he lived his life. He stayed true to his Read More

Godly Love: It Never Fails
Godly love: There are several different Greek words which are translated as “love” in the New Testament. Agapao (verb) and agape (noun). This is the “Godly love” of the Bible. It is a deliberate, purposeful love rather than emotional or impulsive love. Valentine’s day is quickly approaching and thoughts turn to the topic of love. This year I am revising one old post about God’s Love. Love as defined by Webster’s Dictionary: strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties; attraction based on sexual desire; affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests. True Godly “love” is a verb (it requires Read More
God Hates Some Things: Not You!
God hates you. Have you heard that nonsense? There are six, no seven things God hates and you are not one of them (Proverbs 6:16-19). It’s like God starts every day with an agenda to make you as miserable as possible. No, God would not do that. He absolutely loves you (1 John 3:1). But what about all the things going wrong in your life? Not God. What about your lack of a job or money? Once again, not God. I like milk. Really, I like milk, but unfortunately, milk does not like me. If I drink milk, it is Read More
You Are Priceless to God!
You are priceless to God. I had gone to corporate prayer and healing school one morning and decided to go shopping for an item for the home. Once I was at the store, I asked God, “Can I purchase something personal”? I got the OK to do so. As I was looking for the home item, I ventured over into the clothing section and I saw this top that was beautiful and bright, and I adored it. However, it was damaged with numerous pulls and snags and it was the only one left in the store. I picked it up 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
God Sees Me: El-Roi
God sees me. Have you ever felt invisible? Thought no one cares or sees you or the problems you are facing? Well, God, El-Roi sees you. I am continuing this week with another name of God, El-Roi. Translated literally, El-Roi means the God who sees me. I have always loved this name for God. He is all-seeing. He looks ahead and sees what is coming and prepares the way for you. He provides direction when you are not sure which way to go. For Hagar (), it was a desert experience that caused her to finally understand that she was Read More
