lost in the fog......

lost in the fog......how we lose our way...and how to find the road back...He's right there....just call on His Name

sometimes we get lost

Situations begin, like fog, to slowly rise and cover us. We become lost.

Maybe we took our eyes off the Shepherd. Or maybe we took a small detour along the way. We stopped looking to Him but relied more on feelings to guide us. The outcome is the same; we are now lost in the fog. How did we get here?

At first we have no problem following the good…

Fear not

  Fear…it’s that cold heart-stopping feeling that creeps into our thoughts. 

Nagging whispers of possible failure that deflate our hopes and shuts down our dreams. We all get those thoughts at one time or another.  Some of us  have allowed fear to make a permanent home in our hearts.  Anxiety, depression are frequest outcomes of fear’s victory in our lives.  FEAR is different to each of us. For…

before the end~return to the beginning

before the end~return to the beginning A look back at 2019 My journey with Jesus

As 2019 comes to an end the Lord impressed upon me to go back and read my journal for this year ending. It is important in our Christian growth to revisit our journey with Jesus. 

There, in the secret place in prayer and the quiet He would speak. He shared His heart and I opened mine. He said “it’s like a garden, your heart. It’s been unattended and left dormant for awhile. But I have beautiful…

how we fight our battles

how we fight our battles

When Jesus walked the earth with the disciples he warned them they will have battles and to anticpate them. Most importantly, He said he would not leave them vulnerable and unprotected but he would equip them for battle. This promise is for us today too.

In the New Testament Apostle Paul describes to the church of Corinth the type of battles including strongholds Christians should…

their silent cry~human trafficking

their silent cry~human trafficking The spiritual battle we are in

There is a silent cry coming from our sisters……the forgotten daughters of the King being held captive in human trafficking. What are we doing to answer the cry?

One of the enemy’s greatest feats is the destruction of women and children through human trafficking and we can no longer sit back covering our eyes and ears to the wail of suffering, horror and pain. Strip clubs, those trapped in…

Whan can I do for him? What does the Lord need from Me?

Whan can I do for him? What does the Lord need from Me?

Most Christians initially feel a burden to work for Jesus in order to please Him. Even with all good intentions we can eventually grow weary in well doing because the effort is done in the flesh. This uncertainty about what we are to do can inadvertently open the door to the enemy’s interferences.

I recently had a Rhema moment when listening to a message on Ephesians. In The Passion…

Orphan no more~steps to true restoration

Orphan no more~restoration. Steps to a firm knowledge of your standing in Christ; benefits of kingdom living

Joel 2:25 New Living Translation (NLT)

DNA is a fingerprint of who you are.  We have the DNA of a king…THE KING Lord Jesus.

We live our lives like orphan children trying to find security in things and people.  Our minds are in a constant battle with our emotions to determine who we really are.

I had nothing to lose as I laid it all down, desperate for a new relationship with the…

When I need to be encouraged~Psalm 139

After beginning my restoration journey as His daughter again I searched for confirmation that He was still for me and not against me. During a dream one night Psalm 139 was placed in my heart and this is one of my ‘go to” Psalms when I need reassurance from the Father.

Psalm 139 New Living Translation (NLT) Psalm 139 For the choir director: A psalm of David.

From knowing about God to knowing Him~A relationship

From knowing about God to knowing Him~A relationship

There has never been, in my opinion, a more significant time for us to be firmly standing on the Rock…..Jesus Christ…than now.

Everywhere we go there are opportunities to share the saving grace of Jesus. Our country is divided and people are angry and scared.

The Church has to be the church. People are looking for answers and we can’t offer warmed over or politically correct testimony.…

There's power in the Blood of Jesus

There’s power in the Blood of Jesus

The precious blood of Jesus has freed us from the stain of sin and restores us continually back to the Father. We all fail daily in our walk with Jesus and we can feel separated from His love and grace. The enemy is always ready to accuse us of being phonies and failures.

For most of my life I listened to his lies and would spiritually shut down when I screwed up.

But shame and guilt was…

Am I that important to God?

We all have questions about God

Feeling insignificant, like surely God of the universe really has better things to focus on? How do I think that He would want to listen to me or is He even aware of me anymore?

John 3:16 The Passion Translation (TPT)

16 For this is how much God loved the world—he gave his one and only, unique Son as a gift.[a] So now everyone who believes in him[b] will never perish but experience…

The "Power" to live as victorious Christians

The "Power" to live as victorious Christians. The Holy Spirit lives in us and it's the same power that raised Christ from the dead

We aren’t left alone here on earth to try on our own to be good Christians. God knew that we would need a Helper…the Holy Spirit. These gifts equip us to be victorious now.

1 Corinthians 2:12 New Living Translation (NLT)

12 And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.

From orphan to daughter of the King

From orphan to daughter of the King

This is my story about restoration and the Father’s pursuit to connect with me in fellowship and relationship. 

About a year ago my life became unmanageable. I realized I had grown lukewarm, and wondered  why as a Christian  we don’t have a relationship God? If I had a calling or purpose I didn’t know it.  I was saved but I wasn’t living as one along with my husband.  Yes, I was filled with…

If you are reading this maybe you are wondering what happened to your relationship with Him along the way. Or maybe you don’t know the God of the universe and wonder if He is there for you too.

Even as a Christian for a long time, I really never had a RELATIONSHIP with the Father. I knew I’d get to heaven because I accepted His gift of salvation in 1977.

But without knowing who we are as…
