Saying, I can’t is the number one obstacle in our lives. We claim defeat before we ever enter the fight. I was homeschooling my grandson a few days ago and I heard him say I can’t  several times. I closed the book and said let’s talk. He looked at me and my heart melted. I told him you need to understand that you are part of a family of faith based on God’s word to us.The Bible tells us we can do anything through the power of Jesus Christ. Then I began to remind him of all the things he had learned to do in just a few months. His face lit up with a big smile and I could see he understood. I told him that voice that he hears telling him he cannot do something is a liar and not to listen. To always reply, Yes I can because Jesus said I could.  

Now apply that same strategy to the lives of adults that read God’s word but spend their time dwelling on what they cannot do or do not have.It is that attitude that keeps miracles out of our lives and robs us of any hope or joy. We are entering a time when God wants to do wonderful things in and through our lives and we have to start living the word of God not only reading it every day.

Do you really believe, Philippians 4:13, “I have the strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self- sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].”(AMP)

How to Make Friends Our Of Your Enemies!

Good Morning Family and Friends,

How many of you really believe what you read in God’s word? Think about it. I have to remind myself sometimes that what is coming out of my mouth is stopping what God has promised and I know to be true. I will give you an example. My mortgage company has been my enemy since 2013. Now the enemy would like me to get in a mindset that it is always going to be that…

What Do You Have In Your Hands

Good Morning Family and Friends!

The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” Exodus 2:4

It was in 1978 and we had moved to Thomasville, Ga. David was promoted to Staff Manager with Independent Life Insurance Company. We left our spiritual and natural family behind as we started this new phase of our life. The company moved our furnishings and when we got there we found some things…

The Power To Change Your World

There is an old Southern Gospel song that the words say it all for me,”I wouldn’t take nothing for my Journey Now!” God has proven himself over and over in my life me since 1978, when I first stood on one scripture believing either the word coming out of my mouth had the power to bring into existence what I spoke or I was reading it wrong as some believed I was. That was the beginning of a way of…

The sun is shining bright and if I stay inside I can convince myself, that it is a nice seventy degrees outside instead of the predicted high of 91.If I do that I can miss out on a day of meeting new people and having some really memorable experiences today, so I guess I will brave the heat and see what life has for me today starting with playtime in the park with David and Cindy. Things to do,…

The Power of Three Words

It is not the easy-going times in life that build your character. Your character is molded in how you react to negative situations. Your faith is built during the time between the promise and the manifestation of the promise. Do you give up in the middle of the battle and then find yourself fighting the same battles over and over?

It is always easier to give in than to remain steadfast during the…

When The Pain Turns To Joy

Today would have been mine and David’s 53 anniversary. I wonder what we would have done to celebrate. Something the girls would have thought was crazy for our age I am sure!  I can honestly say that I am happy for David that he has run his race and now there are no more battles for him to fight.

When he stepped out of his earthly habitation he stepped into that new spiritual body free from pain…

I’m Going To Get My Blessings!

    For any of you that have doubts or feel condemnation about receiving God’s best I am going to post scriptures this week on  God desire to bless his children. There is a catch, you have to be willing and obedient to study the word, practice the word and receive what has been given through the word. He does not bless  to build our personal accounts. We are blessed to be a blessing and in doing…

  How many times have you heard someone say, “I want to hear from God what to do?”  I never will forget the first time I head a preacher say, “God is always speaking but we are not always listening”. A light went off in my spirit and I remembered this scripture about the Holy Spirit, “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of…

In Every Disappointment There Is a Blessing To Be Found

  I woke up this morning thanking God for all His blessings in my life. What the enemy meant to destroy my Father has turned to be a blessing. When my business closed in 2010 I prayed, “God is this is the enemy then he has no power in my life to do this but if this is your will in my life then I submit to you. I had become so involved with the business that I felt that financing other ministries…

Let The Church Be The Church

          I keep hearing this statement. “Preacher of Righteousness”in my mind this morning as I try to get things ready for David. So counting on maybe this will be one of the mornings that Cindy runs late I am  stopping to write this.

If there ever was a time in our history that we needed to be reminded of what righteousness is it is the  church today. God sent the Christians to the world…

Good Morning it is going to be a great day for you and me!!

Yesterday I was talking with a friend on the phone and he asked what I was doing when he called. I told him that I was  designing a brochure using the programs in  the Adobe Creative Cloud that my daughter had  blessed me with  a couple of years ago. He said you know how to do that and I answered without thinking, “Why not I have the…

People in other countries sometimes find it hard to think of America as a mission field. I can take you places in America where you would think it was a third world country. I now live in the Orlando, FL area where everyone comes to Disney World. In 2008 the housing bubble burst and Florida had record numbers of foreclosures of homes. Families moved into hotel rooms, jobs could not be found and…

I hear a lot of people talking about the government taking over and I hear  a lot of talk about people always depending on the government for help. I can understand that attitude after a lifetime in ministry working with those that have great needs. In all the debate there are two groups that are not at fault for their situation or their needs, the children and the aged. God never intended for…

Welcome To The Faith Zone!

  The New Beginning of My Faith Journey!

I have posted on this  blog site off and on for a few years. In the last 8 years since I began posting I have went through a major life change from the loss of my husband and ministry partner for over thirty years. He was my best friend and we were true partners in ministry. David and I both were people of  a  very strong personal  opinion but when it…

Several months ago I discontinued cable and kept my internet and Wi-Fi. I have not regretted flipping through countless channels that I had no interest in. Instead I purchased a Roku and I love it! One of the things I have found is that just like this article reads the leading churches and ministries are on Roku and new ones being added every day. I can hear what the Holy Spirit is saying through…
