What Are You Standing on?
God’s Word
TRUTH!
May we walk in the Truth of your word, O LORD!!! May we allow Your Truth to define our lives and not the lies of the enemy!!!!!!!
The Light of the World!
“I didn’t realize I was in the dark until the light was turned on!”
Years ago as I was visiting family in South Florida over Christmas, I was looking up a church to visit that Sunday. I said the words above as my sister-in-law turned on the overhead light where I was sitting.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized the spiritual significance of the words. How many people don’t realize they are in the dark spiritually until the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ is turned on in their hearts and spirits?
My heart aches when I think of those that walk around battling life’s problems in their own strength, not realizing that there is One who wants to take all of their burdens and pain upon Himself.
But, those who are living in darkness don’t realize they are in darkness! They don’t realize that there is a Light that is waiting to dispel the darkness in their lives. The Holy Spirit desires to turn on the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ within our hearts and spirits.
I pray that we can be the “bearers of Light” to all those that we come into contact with. May we allow Jesus to shine in and through us! May we be the Light Bearers to a world that needs THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! May Your glory shine through us, Lord Jesus!
“…for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them…”. Ephesians 5:8-11. NASB1995
*Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Would you like Him to be? It isn’t hard….
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”. JOHN 3:1618
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” ACTS 16:31
“If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. ROMANS 10:9-10
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…”. ACTS 3:19
Sin has consequences – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin. The physical consequences may still need to be faced (jail, financial responsibility, etc). But, if we repent of our sin… turn away from it…and place our faith in Jesus…we will know that we will have life after we die – a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!! HALLELUJAH!! Precious ones, now is THE DAY OF SALVATION! Are you ready to take that step?
IT IS WRITTEN!
We feed our bodies to stay strong and healthy. Don’t forget to feed our spirits with the Word of God! And as we do, we will discover that our bodies, emotions, and minds will all be strengthened along with our spirits. HALLELUJAH!! ❤️💥💥❤️
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
“…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”Ephesians 6:17 NASB1995
I had a vision on June 8 as I attended a day with Daughters on the Frontline. In the vision I saw a woman clothed in the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18). But, I saw the sword of the Spirit laying at her feet. I received understanding that the sword was not being held because it was thought, “I will pick it up when I need it.”
I heard the Lord say in my spirit, “IT’S TIME TO PICK UP THE SWORD!! MY WORD TRUMPS THE WORD OF THE WORLD!”
Even though I saw a woman in my vision, I believe that the woman represents the “bride of Christ.” This vision and word is for all – men and women alike.
Brothers & Sisters, the main weapon of our warfare is in our mouths! God’s Word spoken, declared, and decreed in and over our circumstances and in and over world circumstances is one of the most powerful weapons we have. We need to realize the importance and necessity of having our “sword” constantly ready.
Read God’s Word…Pray God’s Word…Speak God’s Word
May God’s Word continually be in our hearts and in our mouths! RISE UP BROTHERS & SISTERS! PICK UP THE SWORD AND BE READY TO DO BATTLE!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:12 NASB1995
Don’t let what is happening in your life put you in a position of defeat. Rise up from that position and remember you are “seated with Christ in heavenly places.” (Ephesians 2:6). That is your position!
RISE UP! ARMOR UP! SPEAK UP!
You are not defeated! You are not a failure! You are not powerless! SPEAK God’s truth over yourself and over your circumstances and keep speaking it until you see the victory!
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4)
Praying for you, mighty, victorious men and women of God!!

ARMOR UP!!
*Ephesians 6:10-18*
Fast Food or Feast?
A week ago, I was praying for my upcoming Adult Sunday School Class. I was trying to figure out how I could stay “on schedule” with my self-imposed timeline for our study.
I’m not very good at staying on a schedule…mainly because I let the Lord take over and I find myself talking about things I had not planned to talk about. And hearing the praises and prayer needs of the group and taking time to pray.
I had been praying about this for a few days and I found myself continuing to pray on the way to church. I was almost at church and I heard the Lord say, “My Word is not fast food!”
I immediately had a vision of grabbing something to eat on the way out of the door…instead of sitting down at the table and having my attention on what I was eating.
It is very difficult to digest food on the run. Meat especially needs to be chewed and digested fully. Brothers and Sisters, if we want the “meat” of the Word, we need to take the time to chew thoroughly and let it digest!
Oh Lord, I don’t want to grab your Word on the run! I want to take time to meditate on it; to hear what You desire me to hear; to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal greater understanding so I may walk in Your Word! Help me, Lord, to not rush ahead or lag behind in my teaching of Your Word. I desire to be in step with You! Thank You, Lord, for Your Word! May we never take it for granted, but treasure the truths contained within it. Your Word is a feast that will fill us and strengthen us and guide us in the days ahead. Help us to move on from milk to partaking of solid food. (Hebrews 5:13). Amen!
Our Identity
You are who God says you are! You can do what God says you can do! God is actively working in and through you! Be bold and walk in HIS TRUTH!!
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!!
Reflection of Glory!
