The Power of Being Still

The Power of Being Still

I don’t know about you, but I find it difficult to get alone and be still.  There is always something that needs to be done and the distractions seem to multiply daily.  Not to mention the guilt that tries to come over me the moment I begin to think about taking time for myself.  The truth is, we all need…

SHINE LIGHT IN DARK PLACES

SHINE LIGHT IN DARK PLACES

“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”            ~Ephesians…

GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOU THINK

GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOU THINK

I heard a profound story the other day that occurred on a big television cooking contest show about a woman who made it to the final round.  Because she had won all the other rounds, they gave her an advantage over all the other contestants.  She was given a very well known chef, who specialized in pastries, to help her…

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

What you are thinking about matters more than you know.  Your mind is a battleground.  It is where positive and negative forces collaborate to either take you down or take you forward.  If you want to accomplish those things you have set out to do, you must take control of your mind first.  The Word of God tells us, “be…

“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,…

THE REST OF GOD

THE REST OF GOD

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…

HEARING HIS VOICE

HEARING HIS VOICE

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.  Above everything, God desires a relationship with you and that requires some work on your behalf.  Remember, all successful partnerships take time and effort.   I truly believe…

YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER

YOU ARE AN OVERCOMER

  In a world filled with challenges, setbacks, and trials, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.  Life can throw a fast curveball your way, and leave you in a tailspin of confusion and uncertainty.  It is during these times of struggle that we need to rely on the power of God.  We were never guaranteed immunity from trials or hardships but…

EMBRACING THE GIFT OF NOW

EMBRACING THE GIFT OF NOW

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?  The concept of “living in the moment” is not just a trendy self-help practice.  As followers of Christ, we are called to embrace the gift of now and live…
