"Your salvation is not a reward for good behavior! It was a grace thing from start to finish; you had no hand in it. Even the gift to believe simply reflects His faith! (Ephesians 2:8-Mirror)
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith...”

An indecisive faith and a wavering hope immobilize us on our journey to fullness of life and our daily walk in the Spirit of Jesus. If we could only believe Jesus was/is telling the truth then this world in which we live would be an exciting place! I
How is your spiritual vision? Did you know that through the “eyes” of the heart you/we can experience God-sight? This “spiritual sight” is illumined by faith and allows us to “know” that we are seated with Jesus in Father’s lap of love. Here we are a
There is nothing more secure than Christ living in our hearts. The Victor is within us! “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may stre
On a personal note: I have been reflecting on just how much mercy I receive from God every day. I mean for real; for all the things that I tend to struggle with, unfortunately, more than I want to admit publicly. Mercy is not getting what you deserve

"You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him (not working to please him by self-effort). That's right--you don't go off on your own;
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have life. I want them to have it in the fullest.” (Jn. 10:10, NIRV) Nurture is not a term we often use outside of parents nurturing their children. But, oh wow does it go w |
Can you hear God laughing? Can you see rays of sunlight as they warm your face? Can you sense affirmation and acceptance in another’s smile? Can you observe a flower growing? Can you see the notes that come from a piano being played?

There is nothing in our journey quite like being quieted in His love. Have you been? Is this a normal part of your walk with Jesus? All of hell is against this! Fear assaults us daily while stress, anxiety, nervous tension, constant worry and trauma

Historically, no outpouring of God has lasted very long apart from intentional Kingdom Synergy. What is ‘synergy’? I’m glad you asked. Synergy happens when two or more entities decide to join their visions for the purpose of an agreed upon outcome. T
The longer I walk with Jesus; my Elder Brother, Lord and Savior, the more I need strengthening from the inside out! "Out of our innermost being flows the river of life." The flow of life more abundant is always and only from the inside out. It always
“I can’t do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I’m not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders. If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an empty self-serving witness.” (J
