Have you ever thought of the concept of self-reliance? I haven’t until recently. One of the pillars of the culture of the United States is self-reliance and individualism–the self-made man. How did I get started thinking about self-reliance? Well it was a prompt from the Lord. It came in a dream. Now maybe, for you,Continue reading “Who are you relying on?”

Joy? or JOY!
I just finished texting with some friends who got an answer to prayer! It was a wild, wonderfully complete answer to all of our prayers! We gasped in awe of God’s kindness! We shouted hallelujahs! We verbalized praise to God’s name! We reviewed and recounted the details of this amazing response to our petitions. ThereContinue reading “Joy? or JOY!”
Generational Curses
A few weeks ago I had a dream where the given topic seemed ‘out of the blue’. I hadn’t been thinking about this or concerned. But a few days ago, the dream all of a sudden make perfect sense! It’s often like that with messages from the Lord. We have to wait to get clarification.Continue reading “Generational Curses”
A Christmas story for you!
The Christmas story is the best true story on earth! But I just heard another account that is the outcome of the Christmas story of Jesus birth! You’ll be amazed! It is a story of what the crucified, risen, ascended and now King Jesus has done! Christmas is a time for connecting with friends, newContinue reading “A Christmas story for you!”
Songs of Deliverance
This week a couple in my husband’s weekly Men’s Coffee Clatch group were preparing to move. Knowing their tight finances, many of the men offered to help them move. I also volunteered to make sandwiches and be there to help as well. My offer was accepted and yet as the day drew near I couldContinue reading “Songs of Deliverance”
Stray Thoughts
I was in a ministry session. My assignment was to pray. We were in a spiritual battle. In these situations I often feel ‘spirit prompts’ toward a certain passage in the Bible. Then I pray it. Or a reminder picture will come to my mind and I will pray about that. But on this dayContinue reading “Stray Thoughts”
Judging
My serious concern about judging began after an unusual encounter. I was walking with two others on the streets of Portland Oregon doing an assigned street ministry from a conference there. A homeless man was before me and it was my turn for sharing the gospel tract we were supposed to practice. I greeted him,Continue reading “Judging”
Toxic Mother/Daughter Relationships
I’m in a deliverance ministry as an ‘intercessor’. My job is to pray (on the sidelines) for an individual’s freedom before, during and after his/her actual prayer session. I believe it is most important for me to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit for doing this warfare ministry. I could see and think withContinue reading “Toxic Mother/Daughter Relationships”
Financial Deliverance
I remember a time when money was really tight. Going to Goodwill for a tank top for summer wasn’t a choice. All our money was going elsewhere. It is very difficult when family finances are lean. I remember a story from my parents (before I was born) when they were down to their last potatoContinue reading “Financial Deliverance”
Forgiveness for Freedom!
How many times have I sat in a room or online and listened to a person forgive people out loud. Hundreds? It never ever gets old. Some pronouncements have broken my heart at what individuals have endured in their childhood, or in their marriages. I’ve later wept and sorrowed at these stories. And yet, becauseContinue reading “Forgiveness for Freedom!”
