Nourishment
“A man can eat his dinner without understanding exactly how food nourishes him.” C.S. Lewis We are constantly looking for things that will satisfy us in life. As I get older, I am seeing that whatever it may be we are looking for to fulfill the desire we crave, never ends up sustaining us. God …
Words
For I am full of words; The spirit within me compels me. Job 32:18 NKJV One thing I know for sure about myself is that I am full of words. For those of you who know me, right about now you’re probably laughing and or in agreement with me. Although it is true that I love …
Our Resurrected King
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting …
Carnal Mind vs Spirit Mind
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is …
To Bow Before the Lord
I can recall at least a handful of times in my life where God has called me to bow before Him. Looking back now, I deeply regret not acting upon His desire for me. Had I respected Him in this particular call, I would not have lost what He intended to give to me at …

Lately, the Lord has shown me the importance of becoming righteous. I believe that He has purposely exposed this word to me for this time right …
Overcoming
Who is it that comes to steal, kill and destroy? The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life and have it abundantly John 10:10 (NASB). Jesus came to give us life and this scripture takes it one step further by saying: abundant life. One of the things that we …
Give Us Eyes to See
God is working in the background of our lives even when we can’t see it. The reason why I can state this is because I have been at the bottom many times throughout my life. Now, as I look back to difficult situations or transitions, I can see that He was working in me the …
Steadfast Love
Saint Augustine said, “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance, to seek Him the greatest adventure, and to find Him the greatest human achievement.” The key to the kingdom is and always has been what God has told us through His word. Love Him and love others. To love God, you have …
Igniting the Altar Within
Throughout scripture we see that the fire at the altar represented the presence of God. God started that fire (Leviticus 9:24). Today when we accept Jesus Christ, that fire at the altar begins to burn deep within our spirit. It represents the power and presence of God within us. God can calm down and consume …
