You have to truly want it enough to pursue it. One minister says, if you can live without it, you will. How important is it to you? Not necessarily how desperate, though we’re often slothful until we are. Faith and sensitivity to God’s Spirit is only nurtured in the right environment; through the truths of …

What is our Purpose?
What do you want out of life? Is that your purpose? I would say NO. Most of us have been told to strive for a life that fits a particular mold. Whether that is marriage, career, financial success, etc. assuming that in those, we will find our purpose. I’m not saying that those aren’t good …
My healing confession
Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, “I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, 2 Cor. 4:13 I BELIEVE IT, SO I SPEAK IT. I believe you have healed me. Thank you Jesus for taking all of my sicknesses and disease. …
Disassociate – The Ability to See from God’s Point of View
One thing that has helped me in my healing journeys is disassociation. What do I mean by that? Not pretending the problem isn’t real or doesn’t exist, but seeing myself separate from the sickness. I will explain this more. In doing that, it frees me to be able to ‘see’ the spiritual reality of what …
Engage the Word of God
I was thinking about how important it is for us to engage God’s word. What do I mean by that? The dictionary defines ‘engage’ as: to participate or become involved in How do we do that? It begins with hearing or reading. But James tells us in the book of James not to be a …
How Do You Relate?
How do you relate? When you relate to God are you looking at your performance or at your identity? Is it what you do (“I try to be the best person I can be”) or your position in Him where you find your security? I’m not judging you, but we do need to judge ourselves. …
Experiencing the fullness of God
So often Christians talk about being ‘full’ of God. What does it mean? “…to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19 For years I wondered what exactly it meant to be full of God; and how does it happen? I was already …
Are you Full of God?
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” First, let’s look at the beginning of this verse: “Let the Word of God dwell in you richly” This word …
Seek me with all your heart
It’s a heart matter to God I want to preface this by saying that God IS interested in your actions. All the good intentions in the world will do no good if they are not acted upon. But God wants those actions to flow freely out of your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me …
Relationship vs Religion
I’d like to share some scripture verses that I believe have been misunderstood and misinterpreted by religion and leads many to come to the wrong conclusion about God’s sovereignty and how we are to relate to Him. James 4:6-7 “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Therefore submit to God. Resist the …
