I’m one of the biggest “the Matrix” (the movie) fans out there. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen it. Every time it comes on, I stop whatever I’m doing. I sit down and watch it like it’s my very first time. In reality I’ve probably watched it at least 15 times (no…
You must feed your spirit daily. It’s important that you’re feeding your bodies everyday with nutritious foods so you can remain healthy and strong. It’s equally as important that you’re feeding your spirit man the same. Our spirits can’t survive on one meal a week (Sunday service) they need to be feed each and every day, three meals a day and at least two snacks.
Why? How can you hear from God if you don’t spend time in His Presence? How can you build up your faith when you don’t spend any time feeding your spirit?
To have life-affirming thoughts of prosperity, health, happiness and success our minds must be fed with the word of God. We must build up our faith in “anticipation” of trails and challenges. If you wait to feed your spirit, like so many do, when you have challenges you won’t be prepared to stand and fight. In Ephesian 6:11, Paul says “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” (NIV). The only way you can put on the full armor of God is through preparation, prayer and spending time walking with God. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

Spiritual Journaling. I love spiritual journaling! I call it writing love letters to God. King David’s writings in the book of Psalms influenced me years ago. One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to find the nearest book store and check out their journals. I have every color, size and shape you…
“What Does Baptism Mean?” Why do we have to be completely covered by water when we are baptized? God chose immersion in water because it is a very powerful way of showing us that our sins must be forgiven. Believers realise that they need saving from sin and require God’s grace. They go under the…
If you missed the Cookie Johnson interview this past Sunday on “Super Soul Sunday” you should check it out. After watching the interview, I ran out and picked up my copy of “Believing In Magic” and can’t wait to read it. Cookie, always so graceful, discusses the challenges she faced in her public marriage to…
What Does It Mean To Meditate? When God gave Joshua the responsibility that once belong to Moses, He not only elevated him but he also gave Joshua everything he needed to be successful. You see God will never put you somewhere that you cannot succeed…NEVER. You may put yourself in that situation but God never…
It’s comforting to know that nothing you do in life will be wasted. Romans 8:28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (KJV). Nothing You’ve Been Through Will Be Wasted. When a random video just pops up…
Today, August 1st, is my 35th wedding anniversary. I feel so fortunate and blessed to have the covering of my husband over my life. We’ve been through a lot but it absolutely has been worth it and marriage is worth fighting for and defending. I can’t imagine my life any other way than by his…
Pray Like Jesus. The Lord’s Prayer In Part III of the Lord’s Prayer, we break down the last three petitions 5-7 of this amazing gift and blueprint that Jesus left for us. I love the fact that Jesus left behind instructions on how to pray and that He thought it was important to tell us…
