God speaks in various ways by the Holy Spirit to those in relationship with His Son. He speaks through His Word (the Bible) and brings to our remembrance things which Jesus has said, He also will speak through prayers (and what He lays on our hearts to pray), through circumstances in our life, and through the body of Christ (godly advice from true believers). And in my experience, I would have to say that He has spoken most clearly when I'm in need of comfort, and taking the time to really listen. Most of the time our minds run at a hectic pace, preoccupied with life and it's problems. So you can see giving God time is essential. Do you long to hear God speaking to you on a regular basis? Here are some ways you can fine-tune...

Hello friends and fellow standers. Not long ago, I testified in a blog about The Lord appointing me to be the Noah for my family. And how what happens in my marriage and family not only affects the 7 of us, but my children's children and their children...it is generational. My stand took on extreme importance once I came to this realization. A few weeks ago, while sitting in my classroom, entering my students grades into the computer, the Holy Spirit swept over me and completely filled me with the Lord' s Mighty Presence. The Lord showed me several things. The first few were very specific and referred to my husband B.J. and his condition, spiritually. Then, the Lord asked me to take a look at my desk. I did and I was truly awestruck...

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME “Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore†was a statement spoken by Dorothy in the story, The Wizard of Oz. Who among us could ever forget this famous line from the opening scenes of the movie? This beautiful story speaks volumes to all of us of our own human desire to be safe and secure in the familiar surroundings of our own homes. As persons who have fallen victim to Satan’s attack on our marriages and other family relationships, we, like Dorothy, look around and wonder, “Where am I?†“How did I get here?†In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy was fortunate in her quest because she met some “good†and “wise†people to help her sort out her situation. Who can forget the Tin Man, Scare...

Hello every one, I want to start with a praise report, and give our God glory for what He is doing in my life. If you remember a few months ago I posted something on forgiveness and how to ask for it by confessing your wrong doings to the person you wronged. Well I did that with my wife a few months ago and at first she was extremely mad and distant. Well just yesterday when I was dropping of our girls for her week with them out of the blue she says "Scott by the way I forgive you". I sighed a huge sigh of relief and we spoke about other things then again she said "I do forgive you" I said thank you and then after talking for almost an hour I left. Trying my hardest to hold in my excitement until I was in the car and out of her sight...

GOD'S EVERLASTING LOVE For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth...Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. Psalm 33:4-6, 8-11 Do you really understand the power of your awesome mighty God on this Lord’s Day? He created the Heavens and all the earth. He...

STEPS TO KNOW AND DO THE WILL OF GOD - Part 2 “I desire to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.†Psalm 40:8 Are you seeking to do the will of God in your life? He will guide and direct your every step. Never doubt that He will empower you to accomplish what He wants you to do. The secret to a changed life is to submit to God's control and let Him work in and through you daily. Ask God to help you WANT to do His will. You and I need to ask the Lord to change our behaviors and attitudes every day to be more like Him, then we will want to DO things His way. Lord, help me to crucify my fleshly desires as I keep my eyes on You, Lord, in knowing and doing Your will each day. May you speak loudly when I start to go on a...

In II Kings 1 there is a story about King Ahaziah and the accident that took him to his sickbed. What stood out at me the most in this story was Elijah's faith. He gave a word about King Ahaziah that he would never leave his sickbed because he sought Baal-zebub god of Ekron instead of God. Ahaziah did not like that word and sent a captain and 50 men out to retrieve Elijah. He did this 2x and each time Elijah called down fire from heaven. That is what stood out to me --it was Elijah's faith to call down fire from heaven on them not once but twice and expect without hesitation and it happened. A captain and 50 of the king’s men were out to retrieve him for the king and he was not scared but had complete faith in God. He had so much...

God has the answers for any problem that you are facing. If you are hurting badly, just cry out the name of “Jesus, help me.†Jesus died for you and your sins, so allow the Holy Spirit to minister His hope to you right now. Allow Him to increase your faith, hope and trust in God, the King of Kings as nothing is impossible with God. For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. Deuteronomy 10:17 Are you battling many different emotions right now? You may be feeling angry at...

GOD OF RESTORATION May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14 What kind of example are you going to be this year in 2014? Are you going to radiate the power and strength of your Lord each day? Are you going to tell others, as the Lord opens the door, including your family, co-workers and your church family, that God hates divorce and that He wants to heal, rebuild and restore marriages? Do you really believe in the transformation of your husband or wife and your marriage? David did in the Old Testament. He knew the power of God's love and forgiveness as God forgave David of adultery and murder. Are you battling sins in your life? Yes, you as a...
