Storming the Gates: A podcast about Prayer

Storming the Gates: A podcast about Prayer

Daily a spiritual war is waged, and war is hard. The battles may seem endless. Our strength gives way, and our hearts break. As God's soldiers, we must get beyond the noise and meet with our commander in the quiet and secluded places. This podcast is such a place. Here, we retreat from the war. Here, we will find reassurance through His Word that there is hope and promises for our future. We can gain battle strategies for our lives, and assignments to win the Kingdom for His name's sake! Let your heart be mended and your soul revived. Together we will pick up our sword, put on our armor, and head out to battle once again.

Chapter nine of Jeremiah may continues to reflect the consequences of sin, but like a flower popping up in a city sidewalk crack, it also emphasizes the hope that can be found. And more: It tells us how to find that hope in the darkness.

Chapter nine epitomizes why Jeremiah earned the moniker of the “Weeping prophet.” God expressed His own deep sorrow over the state of His people through Jeremiah's tears.

I am continuing a series titled "Praying through the book of Jeremiah." We are moving into Chapter eight. 
Yes, brothers and sisters, the last 7 chapters have been pretty much gloom and doom.  BUT the love and Grace of God are continuously interspersed in Jeremiah’s writings. There’s no place we see the goodness of God as when people have turned away and become his enemies, and yet we can hear by the ton...

To all the Mothers, with love. 

My oldest daughter wrote this concerning Mother's Day:

"I’m keenly aware of the complexity of the weekend's holiday. Where celebrated mothers leave others feeling the gaps of loss, may you hold your losses tenderly and find surprising ways you have been mothered well. And may you give yourself the grace to see where you have mothered others well, no matter your of...

Would you have stopped to listen to the words of gloom and doom from a crazy prophet? Or kept on walking? Sometimes, it’s important to listen to things we would rather not hear.

Donald Trump said in his acceptance speech that he was given a mandate by the American people. Likewise, God's people have also been given a mandate, and ours is from the eternal God. In this podcast, I will address the importance of that mandate!

Sometimes we begin our journey under clear skies and dry roads, only to be met unexpectedly by a looming grey mass that quickly brings wind, rain, and poor visibility. It’s not much fun! Although driving through a storm can seem never-ending, keep pushing forward. The clouds will eventually clear, and the sun will shine again as you approach your destination!
I speak of course, of covenant prayer! Taking on a fres...

In which Jesus came alongside and shared His own thoughts on Covenant prayer! 
Summer is full of activities and family events. My little grandgirl recently had heart surgery and the Lord Graciously brought her through with flying colors. 
I completed my mission of heading up the City Fest Kids tent with the help of many tireless volunteers. We need each other, don’t we?

In this summer series, we will be discussing Covenant Prayer. That is when we feel called by God to seek Him in a certain way, ,for a certain period of time, in order to gain hold of a promise or an answer to a prayer. Being steadfast and immovable in such a call to prayer can be incredibly powerful, but can also stir up spiritual warfare! Begin now by laying the foundation of such prayer.

Have you been praying and praying, maybe briefly seeing things for which you are praying beginning to change, before sliding back to where they began?

No one can force God’s hand, but throughout scripture, we see Jesus moved to action by a certain characteristic. Can you think of what that is?

Faith.

Most of the time, this faith was demonstrated by the way people persevered, calling on Jesus despite obstacles, perseverin...

Raise your hand if you love coffee! I know I do! 

That is why my son took me on a tour of a coffee processing plant when I was in El Salvador recently. It was fascinating to learn the many ways coffee beans are chosen for specific flavors and quality. If the coffee bean cherry "floats" it means it is undeveloped, immature, or has been attacked by disease or insects. It could mean the shell is completely hollo...

I was shocked to learn of recent events concerning IHOPKC founder, Mike Bickle, and the recent revelations about one of my favorite worship leaders, Misty Edwards, as well.  Maybe someone you have loved and followed has been found to be immoral or unethical.  We can't help but respond with anger and grief. At the same time, what we consider righteous indignation can quickly become self-righteous judgment.  Chapte...

Are you good enough for heaven? 
In Jeremiah chapter four, God is shaking the people out of a numbing belief that unless we are murderers or something, we're all good people, and don't have to change anything.
Is that true?
If not, then how do we get to heaven?

My husband did not want to believe he had diabetes, despite the obvious symptoms.
But when his heart freaked out, sending us to the hospital for a heart attack, everything changed.
He accepted the diagnosis and the doctor's recommendations with humility. We changed our lifestyle completely. He has lost 95 lbs and is not only way more active but happier and less moody. I adore my husband, and  I can now lo...

The Nonchalant Bride
Jeremiah 2

Can you remember a time you were “in love?”

When I first met my husband, he was quite enamored of me! He would get off work after a long midnight shift and drive the two and a half hours to my house just to be with me for a few hours! He sent me flowers at work, he happily loaned me his fancy car, he paid for a vacation for the kids and I. 

Love does that to a person, doesn’t it?

But wh...

The days we live in are not so different, or so difficult, as the far off days of Jeremiah the prophet. His words have echoed down the corridors of history for thousands of years, and have now come to meet us in 2024.

We will take a quick peek at the life and times of a man known as the weeping prophet coming up on Storming the Gates.
