In our lives we have to be able to let God interrupt us, change our path even. The same thing goes for people we encounter throughout our day. We have to remain interruptible. Many of the miracles Jesus performed were done when he was interrupted. God can do big things in the times between, when we let go of what we have planned and follow what God has planned.

When we are trying to please God and our families, we are never going to be perfect. we are going to "fail" at some point. We have to remember to give ourselves grace. God gives us grace, and we often forget that he knows we are not perfect. We need to learn from what we are struggling with and move forward. We see you and we know it can be tough. OVERWHELMING. EXAUSTING. Kn...

Zephaniah 3:11-20
' “On that day you shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me; for then I will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, and you shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain. But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord , those who are left in Israel; ...

To look at all God created and not to see that indeed it had to have been created by a higher power, but instead created by happenstance is such a leap of faith. It takes more faith to be an atheist than the see what has been created and recognize there has to be a creator. God did create the earth and everything in it, including all of us. Do you notice how people who do not believe ...

Everything happens in God's timing. He will lead us to something and often we have to wait for our next steps. BUT in the meantime, don't wait around. Go do the work. Be sharpened. Ask God to search your heart, to refine you. So, in a way, while you wait for God's timing on what he is calling you to, don't wait and do nothing. Witness about Jesus. Learn the things ...

As humans, we want all the creature comforts. As Christians, we don’t stop wanting that and we know what our God can do. He can take our pain and He can heal any of our sorrows. But often we need the pain. Pain sometimes helps us; to be alarmed to a problem in our bodies, to help us through emotional sorrow, or to refine us. What we go through grows us and allows us to have...

Full surrender comes from trusting God. Our obedience of what the LORD is asking of us shows God that we love him. Not obeying God completely, is not being truly obedient.
“Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. The one who doesn’t love me will not keep my words. The w...

Melissia and Christina talk about God‘s provision and putting their trust in Him. Sometimes we try to take control of our lives and the situations we are in rather than letting God take care of us. We want to keep our worldly comforts, but God often calls us to more so we will rely on Him more fully. He always has something better for us than we could ever plan for ourselv...

God often calls us to things that we are afraid to do or we just plain don’t want to. Melissia was feeling led to speak about the rebuilding of the temple in the book of Haggai. When God‘s people finally surrendered in obedience, they were able to feel a fullness and joy from God. Christina talked about that same surrender God’s servant Job had when he lost his whole famil...

Baptism is the outward expression of faith. It’s your Testimony! We are not saved with baptism. We are saved only with the blood of Jesus! We are then sealed! The Bible talks about the importance of baptism, and we should be obedient to that. However, only our faith in Jesus will save us. It’s Jesus! Only his blood, his perfect sacrifice. Praise God for His grace and giving...

The greatest gift is Jesus! We get the spirit of God to dwell in us being our guide. We are HONORED with the opportunity to share the greatest gift WE can give to another person, the gift of sharing the gospel! Praise God for trusting us to be part of His message!

God’s plans for us are beyond our scope. It’s hard to know why we are going through the things we are. While we are still in the midst of it, it’s especially hard to know of what good is going to come from it all. We have to know that God sharpens us and He uses all things for His glory and for our good. We need to let our suffering get us to the point of where God needs us ...

In the book of Ezekiel it talks about leaders who were benefiting from those who they were to care for. The people they were to lead. They were not taking care of the sick, the poor, the lost, or the hungry. God calls us to love one another. We have to be taking care of each other.

When we are thankful we don’t have room for worry. God did not wire our brains that way. Being thankful in prayers and remembering who God is and what He has done and can do strengthens our faith. Faith is everything! Faith is our salvation. Faith is how we have healing. Through faith we do God’s works. Our trust in God comes from having faith. We must have faith! We grow i...
