A Journey of Faith
When I think of my everyday travels, I immediately think of the make, model and year of the car I want to ride in. Is the car dirty inside and outside? Is the vehicle beaten up with no brakes? Will I feel every bump in the road? Does the automobile…

God’s Priority for Prayer
Recently, I heard an elderly television evangelist say that if you came to his house, you would not find a television. The reason is that the Holy Spirit told him to cancel Netflix, Direct TV, and cable and he obeyed. He said at night he reads church history. He has…

Let God Arise
What happens in our lives when God arises. Psalm 68:1a reads “Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered”. I remember singing this small chorus over and over again and I thought it was in the 80’s but maybe it was a different decade. I remember it being sung accompanied…

I Surrender All
Have we truly surrendered all or is it just a beautiful song? One morning while in worship and we were singing I Surrender All, I had a vision of one room in the house that people had locked up and the Holy Spirit was waiting for them patiently to hand…
