Hebrews 4:3 at the end talks about entering God's rest. When I first read it, it immediately struck me that this rest is synonymous with the peace that surpasses all understanding referred to in Philippians 4:6-7. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has d[...]
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV I once heard that the Enemy shouts, but God whispers because the one who whispers is always closer than the one who needs to shout. The Bible tell[...]
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10 NIV Beautiful Younger Soul, Wait! I know that you think about what you will do next week, that you are looking forward to the next step, that you are often thinking about when… When you will finish school when you will have a boyfriend when this situation will be over… But whi[...]
The question “who am I” in and of itself infers that I am always the same. It assumes that there is no growth in my life. The truth is that we are all different now than who we were when we were 12, 18, 30 … you catch my drift. In 5 minutes from now, you could have a revelation that can literally change your life. For mos[...]
We honour and celebrate our fathers today - spiritual fathers, fathers by birth or fathers by behaviour. God celebrates you as a male. (He created them male and female and blessed them.

A Father for the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation, God makes a home for the lonely, He leads the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land (Psalm 68:5-6 NASB) Lord, You are good to us, fathers. Far too often, it’s a difficult role and thankless job. Therefor[...]
I love the Beatitudes! I picture Jesus on the side of that hill near Capernaum, surrounded by a multitude of people from every demographic in Judea, Galilee, Jerusalem and beyond. Restless in anticipation, the crowd is poised to grab ahold of the “Great Teacher’s” every word! And then He begins … “BLESSED ARE THE[...]
"I waited patiently for the LORD, and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD." Psalm 40:1-4 ESV The[...]
“He understands our humanity, for as a Man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are and conquered sin. Hebrews 4:15 TPT “Instead, He emptied himself of His outward glory by reducing Himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human! He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be[...]
"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but, emptied Himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the po[...]
