The enemy did his worst.

Days before we were to lead the worship seminar, the facility owner refused . . .

 When God snatched my stepsister back from the dark side, she read the entire Bible in three months. Three months! It takes me a whole year to read through the Bible. I felt convicted.

My excuse, at that time, was . . .

Do you long for God’s presence, but don’t know how to get there? Thankfulness is the key.

Thankfulness is the door (gate) that gives us access to God’s courtyard. Once we are in the house of God, we commune with God in praise and worship.

I believe that is why . . .

The Israelites who returned from the Babylonian captivity started with such promise but ended up dishonoring God (Mal. 1:6-7). What happened?

I looked at the face of Jesus and held His beautiful countenance in my hands, inches from mine. He gently kissed my cheek, my forehead, even the tip of my nose. Over and over, He tenderly . . .

I performed a prophetic act this week. I laid the preschool books that I am writing on the altar.

I was heading to church anyway to participate in worship and intercession. God’s presence is always palpable there. So, on a whim (at the Holy Spirit’s prompting), I put my . . .

How will you be remembered? Do you think about that? I do.

Mary of Bethany is remembered for her extravagant worship of Jesus. She broke . . .

Unlike a physical mirror, the spiritual mirror has the ability to change our appearance.

The moment we . . .
