I so love the Old Testament even though we aren’t under that covenant anymore, scripture shows us that ALL scripture is profitable to us. It benefits us, it is advantageous and helps us. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, … [Read more...] about Whatever happened to the simplicity of the gospel?

Trusting In the Unseen Hand of God
It is easy to say, “I trust God” until that moment when life’s circumstances are out of your control. It is in those inevitable times (that we all want to avoid) that our trust is challenged. I remember many times in our younger years, when first doing missions work, where money had run out and we had four kids to feed, bills to pay and could not work to earn money in the … [Read more...] about Trusting In the Unseen Hand of God

How the pursuit of liberty redefined everything I once believed.
Three years ago, I started getting serious about studying history and was surprised to learn that the definitions of left and right throughout history and throughout the world are the opposite of what is commonly used in the United States today. This might not sound like a big deal, but it is because many of us in the United States have become so locked into our left vs right … [Read more...] about How the pursuit of liberty redefined everything I once believed.
Dream: Jesus Is Swaddling Soul Wounds
Last night I had the most unusual dream that felt more like an encounter than a dream. In this dream, I was spending time with the Lord and as I did he drew my attention to a place deep in my stomach where there was some anxiety that I had learned to live with (and even ignore). As He drew my attention to it, He began to take me into that very place. As I went there, I could … [Read more...] about Dream: Jesus Is Swaddling Soul Wounds
In my sleep last night I kept hearing the word “Volatile”.
In my sleep last night I kept hearing the word “Volatile” which means; - characterized by or subject to rapid or unexpected change - tending or threatening to break out or erupt I knew the Lord was simply highlighting what's happening right now in the second heavens. It’s crazy in there. You can feel it in the atmosphere. People are easily triggered. Junk is coming to the … [Read more...] about In my sleep last night I kept hearing the word “Volatile”.
“In this hour, your weapons of war will be your melody”!
OH MY HEART! For Australia to have such public display of worship warfare! The anointing on the drummer made me feel like I wanted to come out of my skin! Truly felt like worship around the walls of Jericho! At the beginning of this year, the Lord spoke to me a line out of the song “Raise a hallelujah”. He said, "In this hour, your weapons of war will be your … [Read more...] about “In this hour, your weapons of war will be your melody”!
In my deepest wounds, I saw His glory and to this day it always dazzles me.
She sat at the tomb where He was buried and waited for Him. I mean she really waited for him. And wept. Her faith, her commitment, and her devotion inspires me so very much. I really get it. I can totally relate to her..I have tasted of the bitter, but I saw how God made things sweeter. I have been in a broken mess but God stepped in and made something beautiful.

New Testament Realities – Part 2 of 3, What Changed My Life
Hi all, I shared briefly last week about what I thought of myself after my dad left our family. As the oldest of 4 children, and being big for my age, my mom later apologized for putting so much on me. She explained I was ‘so darn big’ that she treated me like an adult when I was barely a teenager. For me as an 11 year old, having mom and dad divorce (which was not common … [Read more...] about New Testament Realities – Part 2 of 3, What Changed My Life

RUN FOREST RUN!!!
When I was a little girl my mother took me to get a small pox vaccination and they said I ran out of the office and down the hall screaming "noooo!!" But, they caught me and gave me the shot anyway.

There are many who will read this that are eagerly holding onto “hope unseen”.
As I was unpacking the last of our boxes in our new home, I came across the Bible that I used when I was in my twenties. In those days, my husband and I were going through years of infertility and it was a deep pain in my heart because we longed to have children. I would pray and stand on the Word of God, waiting eagerly for the promise to be fulfilled. Today, as I opened … [Read more...] about There are many who will read this that are eagerly holding onto “hope unseen”.
He’s God and that’s enough.
When I lost so many people who I thought loved me, it forced me to go to a place I’d never gone before. I’m not sure how to judge how well I did. My life turned dark and I got so down I wanted to die. I wasn’t able to “pray my way out” or decree what I thought should happen or tell God what to do. I didn’t feel all close to God in the secret place. I felt forsaken and forgotten … [Read more...] about He’s God and that’s enough.
Project Pearl: The 40-year legacy of smuggling a million Bibles into China
In one night on one beach, 1 million Bibles arrived—but for many years they traveled widely throughout China’s provinces. “That one group [of Christians] we gave them to shared them with other groups all over the country,” Etsabrook says. “They were able to share them, but it took five years. It took us two hours to offload them and five years to distribute all 1 million … [Read more...] about Project Pearl: The 40-year legacy of smuggling a million Bibles into China
“The Angel was sent to measure the Sound and the Frequency of the Hearts of His Sons and Daughters!”
This morning as I awakened I saw an angel from the Lord standing near me with a Tuning Fork in his hand. As soon as I saw this it surprised me, as I have never seen an angel with one of those before. When I asked the Lord what the Angel was up too, He said, "The Angel was sent to measure the Sound and the Frequency of the Hearts of His Sons and Daughters!"
