Thinking out loud from a biblical perspective
Psalm 23 for 2023 – The Prophetic Word for this Year – Amen. God’s Word is prophetic and Psalm 23 is timely for such a time as this.

When someone or something brings fear into your atmosphere, it has nothing to do with God.
God’s Word is the final word that will stand over every scheme of the evil one.
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither,Continue reading “Meditation Joy”
God is not calling us to perform for Him. God is calling us to be empowered by Him.
Grace is not an excuse to sin or to keep living in sin; grace gives us the power to overcome our selfish human nature and empowers us with a love and desire to honor God and love and help others.
Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of His power and love.
Am I hearing from God? Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until He reveals His plans to His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
I have my dance students repeat this at the end of every single class. I started doing this more consistently this past year. What I love observing – and it occurs every single time – are the smiles that can’t be held back as these beautiful ones repeat these simple truths out loud. Yes,Continue reading “ALWAYS REMEMBER…”
In this new year, do you desire something new? A better you? A better life? A better way of living? What do you do “first” every day? Do you PRAY first or WORRY first? Do you begin your day feasting on FEAR or FAITH? Do you wake up worshiping God with songs of praise orContinue reading “Who’s “on” FIRST?”
He came as a child although He is The King of kings. In order to receive from Him we must come in childlike faith to receive the salvation He brings. As I reflect on the lyrics to many of our timeless and treasured Christmas songs, I am reminded of the powerful truths penned so manyContinue reading “What Child is This?”
God give us grace. Let us take our rightful place – humbly submitted to You, as all our pride is totally erased. May we arise in boldness – empowered by Your Spirit, as we daily seek Your face. Strengthen us to defeat our enemy and all his lies, as we run with mission towards finishingContinue reading “Grace to Grace “
Accusers bring condemnation. Advocates bring liberation. Don’t be an accuser; be an advocate. Imitate Christ Jesus. Silence the voice of the accuser. Listen to the voice of your advocate, Jesus, the lover of your soul. So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 The more you seek yourContinue reading “Accuser or Advocate?”
#unshakable #kingdomofGod #standfirm #Shakeitoff #Iamnotshaken #Heavenawaitsus When our lives are planted on the solid ROCK of Jesus, and His Word and Spirit are deeply rooted within us, only the things that can be shaken are shaken.

Let us declare our independence from fear of man, bondage to self and the strongholds of addiction, materialism, and sin, and celebrate our dependence on the FATHER OF LIBERTY.

There is a common phrase that sounds like truth. The phrase, “It’s all good” sounds like a good, positive quote, and it is that. “It’s all good”? No, it’s not all good. I like Pastor Steven Furtick’s quote, “It’s never all good.” This is truth. It’s NEVER ALL GOOD, BUT GOD WILL WORK “ALL THESEContinue reading “It’s all good. Not!”

Revelation 22:1-2 Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a freshContinue reading “A Revelation Explanation”
