My number two survival strategy is listening. You can play all the music, read all the Word, and pray all the time; however, if you never stop to listen to the voice of God, you have already lost the battle. God speaks and He expects us to listen. Sometimes we are so caught up in the problem we forget to listen for the solution. We try to figure it out on our own, usually making the situation worst. I often wonder why people think God listens to our prayers, but we never consider that He also speaks to us. Conversation Read More

Survival Strategies: Worship (Supernatural Playlists)
To fight and defeat any enemy we need to have survival strategies, including supernatural playlists. I don’t know about you but the last couple of weeks have been weeks of intense battle. I sensed the fiery darts of the enemy being fired repeatedly at me during this time. Just one thing after another. Through the years I have developed survival strategies to defeat the enemy during these attacks. A lot of these attacks have to do with time management. My already full schedule is being bombarded with so much more to do and not enough time to get it all done. 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
Help!: Secrets to Answered Prayer
Help me, Jesus! How many of us say this on a daily basis? I do not mean just say it just to say something, but say it because you actually need some help. When my daughter prays for our food the first words out of her mouth are: “Father, Help My Mother“. I always say “I need all the help I can get”. She has done this for years to the point that we had a friend over for Thanksgiving last year and asked her to pray over the food. She said, “Father, Help Ms. Garnet“. We laughed about that Read More
Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough!
A couple of weekends ago we celebrated Passover and Easter. During our Seder, we recited this prayer called Dayenu. This song tells of God’s faithfulness. After each proclamation in the prayer, we shout ‘Dayenu’ which means it would have been enough (sufficient). I think this prayer has great meaning for Christians as well as Jews. tells us, “His grace is sufficient for us”. Although we did not experience the same trials as the Hebrews, we also have trials which we must face. But we know that His grace is always sufficient for us. We may not have experienced being released from Read More
Your Piece of the Planet
Your Piece of the Planet is a message God gave me about 12 years ago. For the next two weeks, I will share with you excerpts from this message. Everyone is called to have a piece of this planet. Your piece may not be a nation or a continent; it may be a building, street, or corner of a sidewalk. However, it’s your piece of the planet. When God spoke the worlds into being () He was calling forth your destiny. When He laid the foundations, He saw you ministering (serving) on your piece of the planet. Before the foundations Read More
