Everyone needs encouragement and inspiration from time to time. It is good to have support in your pursuits and to lift up your spirits. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 says “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” Romans 15:2 says “Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.”
He’s the God of possibilities and with God, all things are possible (Mark 10:27). There is nothing to difficult for God (Jeremiah 32:17) and His arm is mighty to save even against the odds. Nothing good is withheld from those who believe in the God of possibilities. Are you facing…
The ploy of the enemy is to entice us into a “counterfeit rest” where we “exchange God Who Is our Glory for the image of an ox!”
“In our world too, a stable once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world.”- C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia As I type this, my legs aren’t shaved. I haven’t a stitch of makeup on my face and just got back from walking the park, so…
“Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug” is a phrase I picked up from a co-worker on a job years ago. It’s something I catch myself saying when everything seems to be going wrong. The washing machine won’t spin and I’m wringing out cold wet clothes…
The water reflects the multitudes who need “A Flood of Healing.” It’s a long hot day, and the needs of the people are significant. Overflowing with Love and Compassion, Jesus looks at the crowd and silently begins to pray.
When God first spoke to my heart and told me to move there and live with them, I had the nerve to look up to Heaven and tell Him NO, didn’t He know how much I hated her?!
No one expects a pandemic. We usually do not have a well-thought out plan already in place as a worldwide health crisis unfolds. But, just as stressful or discorientating as the beginning of a world wiew crisis, can be the transition out of it. We do not have to panic or flounder. But God can help you in this unique time of transition. God can help you stay in peace and ‘fall-forward’ into a greater measure of blessing and His purpose for you.
“Relationships based on surface-level knowledge stuff do not last. I read ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’ a thousand times in 9 months, and it did not inform me at all in the same way actually being with my daughter informed me. I learned by being with her, not by reading about what it was ‘supposed’ to be like.” Sound familiar? Being with God, spending time with Him, is what makes the relationship last. Sure, I love reading Scripture and yes, it informs me, but being with God in relationship? Nothing beats it.
You’ve got to be all in. Maybe not on day 1 – not the day your kid was born or you were re-born – but all in with regard to being committed to the (ongoing) relationship. Being committed to learning about and growing with the person, or, in this case, with God.
I relished the moment I sat under the canopied tree and heard the birds singing. I felt the sun beaming down upon my arms and looked up into the bright, blue sky. Peace. I had not felt at peace for so long. I realized I craved it. Silence. I had…
Pastor Paula White-Cain says her faith never wavered throughout the Pandemic. That’s one reason she has been a reliable resource for thousands who questioned theirs during the long months of lockdowns, conflicting information, mask mandates, and vaccines in 2020 and 2021. Churchgoers across the country who were no longer able…
