Unlocking Every Door – Part 2

You are The Key, Lord.  To Every Door.  Every Time. How do we get that Truth out of our heads and into our hearts? Then out of our hearts and into our grasp? Cloudless Transparency.  (We cannot target what we cannot see). Fearless Honesty.  (We cannot change what we will not admit). Rudderless Affection.  (We cannot

Unlocking Every Door — Part 1

Real Transformation.  Lasting Change.  True Freedom. “Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My Voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him and he with Me.”  (Revelation 3:20) A Desperate Longing.  An Elusive Dream.  A Certain Hope.  A Sacred Gift. “If anyone hears My

Let The Party Never End!!!

It was an AWESOME party! It was as if the whole community had come together for a Celebration to end all celebrations!  I saw streamers and balloons… and I heard lots of cheering.  And I knew why, too.  We all did… well, almost all of us. You had moved mightily, Lord!  Throughout the whole community!

Deja Vu… All Over Again

I feel like I have been in a major time warp lately, Lord. We’ve been cleaning out old files.  Working hard to empty our off-site storage space so we can cut off that unnecessary expense. I would say we’ve made A LOT of progress so far.  There had to be at least 200 boxes!!!  By Saturday, we

What Walls Are About to Fall?

By the time it was over, I was trembling. Literally. I have trembled before, Lord.  But right after church? Our pastor’s message pierced me to the core.  It was about praying more boldly.  My note-taking could not keep up with the profound truths he was speaking. By Your Spirit, of course.  Speaking to me.

What’s In A Word???

I was soaking in Your Word this morning, Lord, as I so love to do. I was thinking about the amazing truth that Your Word — the Bible — is the most published book in the entire universe of books.  In the history of all time. Then, as if You had whispered into my ear, I

X-Rated Search

You are the ultimate Search Engine, Lord. You direct every inquiry — no matter how bizarre or even “x-rated” — to a particular place at a particular moment.  Always for Your good purposes… … and for the sake of those You love. It is impossible for us to fully understand this amazing Truth this side of Heaven…

Mining for GOLD

I know Your heart, Lord — that we will live in the freedom You bought for us at Calvary. “”The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and

The Yeast in My Loaf

I’ve never thought about You quite like that, Lord.  This is definitely “A First!” You’re more than yeast, after all… You’re the WHOLE LOAF!   🙂 “I am the Bread of Life.  Whoever comes to Me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.”  (John 6:35) I have been feeling a
