The Enemy Thought He Had Me
From the very beginning, the enemy thought he had won when he tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit—the very act God had warned Adam not to do. What the enemy didn’t realize is that even in that moment when it seemed like Adam was defeated, God already had a plan in place. God’s plan…

Righting the Wrongs of Our Pasts
Dealing with the mistakes and regrets of our past is something that’s on a lot of our minds. We all carry memories of moments we wish we could relive differently—whether it’s relationships that didn’t turn out as we hoped, opportunities we let slip through our fingers, or decisions we look back on with regret. These…

A Restored Home
Proverbs 21:9(NIV) “Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.” There’s a saying that many husbands have heard and repeated, “happy wife, happy life!” By this, they are conveying a submission to the will and happiness of their wives. They understand the value of having peace…

Humbly, Seek Direction
James 3:17(NLT) “But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.” I visited with a dear friend a while ago and she had…

Humility before God
One rainy night, after seeing a Broadway show featuring one of his favorite characters, a little boy that I know walked the streets of New York. He was holding tightly to his mother’s hand. As they hurriedly sped past the blocks, he saw something that disturbed his spirit, and did so on such a level…

We Will Harvest What We Plant
“If he can’t see my worth, I’m done with him.” Isn’t this one of the most self-affirming statements a woman can make? I heard a sister in Christ say this after she had been expecting her boyfriend of several years to pop the question, and he never did. It is absolutely true that whether a…

A Wise Woman that Prepares for Her Future
Proverbs 31:10(NLT) says, “A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.” I absolutely love this scripture, and I’m sure many of you do as well. I have often referenced it in my offerings because it is so awesomely impactful to Godly womanhood. It’s a very simple verse to understand, and…

When Something Is Blocking Your Blessing
Romans 8:29 tells us that God knew us in advance. Long before we entered our mother’s wombs, God had a plan for our existences. He knew exactly who we would become as human beings living on the earth, and He knows everything that is going to happen in our lives. He knows the end at…

Looking Like A Trick Or A Blessing
I heard a young man talk about his perception of how a Godly woman behaves verses how a woman of the world behaves. A woman of the world is a woman that adopts society’s standards over God’s standards. She loves what the world loves, and she hates what the world hates. A Godly woman is…

A Fully Surrendered Life
Try as we might, none of us will ever get away from the reality that ultimately how we feel about God will translate to how we feel about ourselves. You and I can only do good to the extent that we believe we have been empowered by God to accomplish His Will in the earth.…

Lids Ripped Off Our Little Boxes
In Mark 11:24(NIV), Jesus Christ says, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” This is an extraordinarily wonderful truth! Our Great Big Powerful God has made it very plain that we have access to Him. So much so that when we…

Show Me Where to Start
“This isn’t right – I gotta fix this…I miss my family!” This is what a close friend said to me as he described what made him fight for his marriage. With two children, a mortgage, and a job that he didn’t feel was worth waking up to each morning, it became more than a notion…

Bragging Is Just a Cover-up!
Have you known a person who constantly brags about themselves? This is someone that dominates most of their conversations with painting themselves in the best possible light. They twist the facts and distort the truth, so they come out looking like a hero every time. I personally know someone…
