Yahweh is my revelation-light and the source of my salvation. I fear no one! I’ll never turn back and run, for you, Yahweh, surround and protect me. When evil ones come to destroy me, they will be the ones who turn back. My heart will not fear even if an army rises to attack. I […]

“Do you have a battle raging in your life? It is spiritual and is not against flesh and blood. Jesus, I ask you to raise a standard of righteousness against the enemy in this situation. (Isaiah 59:19) I pray as the enemy is resisted, he will flee, (James 4:7) and as the good fight of […]

“Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life.

“If we are to trust God in adversity, we must use our minds in those times to reason through the great truths of God’s sovereignty, wisdom, and love as they are revealed to us in the scriptures. We must not allow our emotions to hold sway over our minds. Rather, we must seek to […]
And now, what have I here?” says Yahweh. “Indeed, my people have been taken into bondage without cause while mocking rulers howl; and every day my name is continually despised!” says Yahweh. 6 “Therefore, my people will know the power of my name, and they will know in that day that I am the one […]
Psalm 124:6-8 We can praise God over and over that he never left us! God wouldn’t allow the terror of our enemies to defeat us. 7 We are free from the hunter’s trap; their snare is broken and we have escaped! 8 For the same God who made everything, our Creator and our mighty maker, […]
I love to journal; it really clarifies things for me when I write them. I guess that was the way I was shaped. I like working things out with words. Every month I keep a journal. I put everything in there from my Constant Conversation with God. This way, I can remember and have some […]
Psalm 85:6-7 Revive us again, O God! I know you will! Give us a fresh start! Then all your people will taste your joy and gladness. 7 Pour out even more of your love on us! Reveal more of your kindness and restore us back to you! We Wait In Hope Only God can give […]
