“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (emancipation from bondage, freedom). ~ 2 Corinthians 3:17 (AMP) You are FREE in Christ. Free from worry, fear, anxiety. Free from the bondage of this world. Free from sin and corruption. It has already been emancipated! Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ,…
You know that you are in need of much rest when you find it almost impossible to take twenty minutes without doing anything physical or mental, and just be still. Psalm 46:10 gently reminds us to, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Being still doesn’t mean to merely stop your physical activities, it means calming your mind and…
Are you all in and going for it? Many of us have at one time or another set our minds to achieve our desires, goals and dreams. We are determined to do whatever it takes to obtain our desires. But sometimes, as we go all out, and things get a little tough, we can find ourselves lost in the, “I’ve…
Did you know that you were created by God, and for God? (Colossians 1:16) God formed you and knew you before you were born, and he made you to have fellowship with Him.

The constant busyness and distractions of life have caused many to be filled with anxiety, hopelessness and depression. How do we overcome and find the peace and joy that God promises?
