“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who sang to the Lord and those who praised in holy attire, as they went out before the army and said, ‘Give thanks to the Lord, for His lovingkindness is everlasting.’  And when they began singing and praising, the Lord set ambushes against the…

The Walls of Jericho

A portion of the wall of Jericho

Lately I’ve been fascinated with the idea of walls and masks.  Not because I want them, but because I’m ready to break them down and tear them off.  I came across this post about breaking down the walls of Jericho after praying through some prayers by Dr. Olukoya about breaking down the walls of Jericho….

Struggle

I have to admit that it’s been a huge struggle to have quiet time lately.  I don’t know if it’s basically working two jobs, or if it’s a reflection of the spiritual warfare we’re dealing with, or if it’s something mundane, a part of life’s ebb and flow.  I feel like I’m wandering aimlessly through…

Showdown

There’s a showdown at high noon; It’s all over town. The enemy’s shaking; He’s gonna go down! 1 Chro 29:11  ”Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O LORD, and You exalt…

Yes, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This…

Opposition & Victory

Romans 16:20The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. The church where our children attend daycare has a sign that changes each week. The second week we took them there it said, “If God has called you to do a great…

The Front and The Rear

Isaiah 52: 12bFor the Lord will go ahead of you, and the God of Israel will protect you from behind. John and I have been going through this seemingly endless cycle of spiritual battle – mainly with the illnesses that have been hitting so frequently. John has always been extremely healthy, but this past year…

Be Glad, Be Patient, Be Prayerful

Romans 12: 12Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. The Message version puts it this way: “Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder.” That’s actually vs. 11…
