I believe the Holy Spirit comes alive and runs through us as we act on burdens placed within us. These things can be produced by an impartation or a singular Holy Spirit Moment. These “inside” moments of spiritual knowing, creates an outward expression of God at work through us when we make the feeling a …

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. Malachi 3:10 NIV God said, “Test me with the tithe.” I was …

I was recently asked by a friend “Why is it so hard to accept the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers through salvation?” As time passed, the Holy Spirit reminded me of that not-so-distant conversation. I decided that I wanted to create a blog to unpack my thoughts on this matter to help others who may …

I was reading Mark 16:11-20 the other day and began to see how similar we are to the disciples of long ago. The questions that we have today about the wondrous ways of the Father, the signs and the miracles were also things these aged ones pondered. In fact, while reading Mark16, the Holy Spirit …

I think the thing we most often forget is that everything we have been given by God is not actually for us but to be used through us. We are given spiritual gifts for the kingdom. These gifts given by God are for us to use and excel in them. I look at them as …

Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel-that will stand. Proverbs 19:20-21NKJV  As I was reading my devotional today, the words wise counsel reminded me of a time when I was in Russia. I got a …

Faith. It’s a small five-letter word packed with power, but so hard to define. There are many examples in the Bible of those who had faith, but how can we describe how it works in us? Have you ever thought about this word and tried to define it? Many times, when someone shares something with …

We are called by God to be led by the Spirit, not the world. Why is this so hard to do? For we know, that when we are led by the Spirit we are eternally fulfilled. “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14NKJV This scripture …

The connection is there but are we grounded? I like to think of my connection with God as a telephone cord. The curly part of the telephone is the Holy Spirit and how we hear God. This cord is what connects us to the phone body and establishes a connection.  The phone body is God. …

Wow! I felt a nudge from the Holy Spirit this morning to focus on the word LISTEN. For a long time, I can admit that I prayed and prayed and never understood why things remained the same. I was missing a piece of the puzzle that God intended for me to put to use. Listening. …

Unity is the key. When we work against God we break all that He intended for our destinies and we allow the enemy to defeat us. We often forget when we are in the midst of our own “stuff”, that God has already won the battle. We choose to make our lives average when we …

I have been thinking about the blog that I posted last week on “Blueprints”. I decided that this week I would share a personal experience from my life, expanding on how we may be the one getting in the way of our own destiny. The world has a way of making us see and think …

We were born into sin and recently, I have been asking myself if our hearts are good or bad. I started to wonder if part of why we are here is to learn to remove the ways of the world from our hearts and fill it with the intentions of the Lord. I have a …

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 NKJV  Genesis 2:7; God breathed His Spirit into us. This is easy to read but how is this key scripture applied to our life today? I …

I could not imagine living my life without the Holy Spirit. I wonder about the people back in the day that lived according to the law. The law, could never be followed perfectly, it was too hard. The Spirit within us makes it possible to not only be set free from the law but gives us …

I would of loved to be a part of Pentecost. Many believed the power of the Holy Spirit that day, by the acts that were revealed in plain sight. Others who did not believe, chalked it up to being drunk with wine. Can you imagine what that day looked like after reading Acts 2:1-13? What …

The older I get, I am finding that I hunger for depth with the Father more than content. When I was younger, I came to understand God in us through Jesus Christ our Savior. From that period of my life until now, I began searching for Him. I flipped through scripture after scripture to find …

I’m Michelle and I am thrilled to share with you how my blogs came about. My inspiration for creating these blogs have come from a series of downloads received from the Holy Spirit over the past year. The downloads came in a variety of ways and through messages. After journaling these thoughts for a long …
