Set the captives free …

May 30, 2016

Can I just say I didn’t get it … all these years … I didn’t get it … until this morning. Not only does Jesus take away my pain …

Question for you – how big is God’s strength? What’s the first word, image, sound or feeling of which you became aware when I asked you that question? For me it was the horizon. Second question. When you ask God for strength, how do you receive it? Do you try to carry it or do … More How big is God’s strength?

The Mortar of What-Ifs

June 2, 2014

It takes courage to walk into your freedom. Courage does not depend on who we are. Joshua tells us to be strong and of good courage. How? Because what God has done before to protect and provide for you He will do again (Joshua 10:25). Courage finds its source, its strength and its power in … More The Mortar of What-Ifs

Lurking Dragons – Part 2

January 31, 2014

The blinders are off. I’m seeing more and more dragons … and it’s a very good thing. You know the Shakespeare quote “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”?

Anyone watched or read “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens this Christmas season? Jacob Marley’s warning to Ebenezer Scrooge has taken on new meaning for me. I had my own dream about this huge “muffin-top” I was carrying about my waist. All this extra skin I was carrying around as if I had lost a … More Tis a great and ponderous chain

Fear or freedom?

October 25, 2012

Being transparent … my first choice was fear. It seemed a logical choice. The tumble I took off … More Fear or freedom?

Positioning yourself to receive

September 30, 2012

Sound good to you? It does me. That’s why I was so surprised to hear this phrase during a teaching on fasting. Wes Hall from International House of Prayer was addressing our congregation a couple of weeks ago right before the week of a corporate fast. Now to be honest, this fast had crept up … More Positioning yourself to receive

Never and always … not necessarily a good thing

June 16, 2012

Two words that when I hear them come out of my mouth my “Danger, Danger Will Robinson!” alarms go off inside me. Never and always … there is so much power in both of these words. So when you use them is the power to which you are referring a blessing or a curse? Do … More Never and always … not necessarily a good thing
