May our words of faith line up with our actions. Are we walking out what we believe? People don’t just hear what we say, they see how we live our lives…
Be the Message…

TRANSFORMATION!
Okay, Church, we are just going to have to face it! We can’t stay the same. For some this will be good news…and for some it will not be what they want to hear. Change can be scary… it can be messy…but it is necessary in order to be who God desires for us to be.
Ahhh… my dear friends, kingdom living is about transformation…transformation individually and transformation corporately. I pray that each of us will embrace this transformation – not in the future, but NOW!
The Mark of an Effective Church…
I have posted the pic below before in years past…but I think it is a reminder that we need to keep ever before us.
If we truly come to church with a heart of worship and a desire to hear from Him…how can we not be changed!
We are assured in His Word that He is there with us as we gather together. May we be sensitive to His presence!
May we gather in our churches in Jesus Name and not for any other reason. It’s all about JESUS! And when we get our focus in the right place…everything else will fall into place.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20 NASB1995)
DO NOT FEAR!
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
IT’S TIME TO SHINE, CHURCH!! BE FEARLESS, BE BOLD, AND TAKE JESUS INTO ALL THE WORLD!!!!
RESET!
April 3, 2024
I heard the word “reset” in my spirit yesterday. I began seeking the Lord about the interpretation of the word. When I woke up this morning, I felt like the Lord was giving me greater insight into the word I was given:
The world is broken. The government is broken. The church is broken. The body of Christ is trying to fulfill My mandates and will for the Kingdom with a body that has broken body parts. The body is having a hard time focusing on Me and My kingdom because of the pain and disfunction of the parts that are not in alignment.
It is time for the broken bones of the body of Christ to be reset. It will be painful…but it is necessary in order to become realigned and healed. Some parts have been broken for so long that you have adapted and believe that is how it should be…that nothing is wrong. You have gotten used to the weakened functioning and think it is “normal.”
Get ready and trust Me to realign you to walk in My strength, My health, and My will as you go forward with a fully functioning body. Welcome the healing process! It’s okay to feel uncomfortable as I mold and shape you into the vessel I have called you to be. The reset must happen!!

ONWARD & UPWARD!
Waking up at 3:00am is not unusual for me…but, I usually just go back to sleep.
But this time, I woke with a dream fresh in my mind and spirit. In the dream I was worshipping and I was praying.
As soon as I awoke, I found myself continuing to worship & pray. I found myself deep in intercession for our country, our government, my church and the Body of Christ. I prayed for my family, friends who had prayer needs, and even prayed for myself and God’s calling upon my life.
I found myself declaring and decreeing boldly as the Holy Spirit led me. I don’t know how much time passed, but when I felt that I was done – I went back to sleep and slept soundly.
I want to say that I am thankful for this precious time I had with the Lord in the early morning. It definitely was not done in my own power or planned.
We are in a new season! Don’t be surprised if the Lord has you moving in ways that you perhaps haven’t moved in before. Dreams, visions, intercession, healing, and deliverance – all the ways that we see God’s people ministering in the Bible are still needed in today’s world. Now more than ever!
STAY CLOSE TO THE LORD! Tether yourself to Him and His Word! Stay connected with those that seek God’s will above their own. And do everything from His foundation of LOVE.
I am praying for you…will you pray for me? We are in this together! ❤️
ONWARD & UPWARD!!
Step Up!
We are in a New Season of time! The Lord is calling His Church to step up and be the Ekklesia He means us to be! He doesn’t want us to be satisfied with what was…but He wants us to join Him in what is to be! I am ready to step out into all He has planned! How about you?
Focus on the Eternal!
“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NIV
As time goes on, I observe my hair turning gray and wrinkles appearing deeper and more pronounced. My eyesight has dimmed and my body has changed. Yes, outwardly there is a “wasting away.” Time does indeed affect our physical bodies.
BUT, we are told to not “lose heart” – to not get discouraged. Even as our physical bodies may let us down, our spirit is not getting weaker, it is getting stronger as we are being renewed day by day! Hallelujah!!
As we go through challenges and troubles, the Lord reminds us that in and through them we are receiving an eternal glory that outweighs them all!
So, I won’t focus on the changes of getting older. I won’t focus on COVID-19. I won’t focus on all the turmoil that is raging around us. I will remind myself that all that I see is temporary.
Brothers & Sisters! May we not focus on the problems, but focus on the SOLUTIONS. When we pray, may we not bring a list of everything that is wrong to the Lord, but may we seek His vision, plan, and purpose and join Him in praying that!! God knows what we need in our lives. God knows what we need in the world. As we seek Him, and move our focus from the seen to that which is unseen – we will be focusing on the eternal!!
Oh God!! We join You in speaking Your will, plan, and vision for our lives, our church, and our world. Help us, Lord, to get our eyes off of the problems and onto YOU! We join You in the midst of it all! We want to be a part of the solution that You want to bring to a hurting world. Speak to us, Lord! We are ready to be Your hands, feet, and mouth. Pour through us and touch this world for Your glory! In Jesus’ Name. Amen! ~Tina K. Roach
PENTECOST 2020
Today is Pentecost Sunday!
“Pentecost is a Christian holy day that celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit 40 days after Easter. Some Christian denominations consider it the birthday of the Christian church and celebrate it as such. Originally, Pentecost was a Jewish holiday held 50 days after Passover.”
The Scriptures describing the day of Pentecost can be found in Acts 2:1-4.
“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.” Acts 2:1-4 NASB
LORD! We beseech You to move once again in POWER upon and in Your people! Empower us through Your Holy Spirit to be Your body upon this earth! May the FLAME of YOUR LOVE burn brightly within us!! RISE UP, most HOLY ONE, and show Yourself in all Your glory!! AMEN!!
Reflection of Glory!
