Yesterday, I stood on my back deck and looked out into the woods, pausing for a moment to speak with God. As a gentle breeze moved through the trees, I asked Him this question: “God, how can people see evil as good and good as evil? If they were to spend one minute with you—just …
“Look for the answers within” is a vague statement… Looking within yourself when the Holy Spirit is NOT present in you means you’re going to find more of you— So, things like pain, guilt, anger, trauma, fear, and confusion. What great answers will you find in all that? Looking within yourself when the Holy Spirit …
Discernment is not a human ability, rather a supernatural power that is carried out through us and for us by the Holy Spirit. “𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 …
I sat at my writing desk looking out the open window, allowing the bustle of a rainy springtime dusk to enchant my senses… Birds excitedly played and prepared for summer sun, while little tree buds drank the water droplets that would soon transform them into a painting of greenery. I was simply still; enjoying the …
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” —John 8:36 When we accept Jesus into our hearts and believe that His finished work on the cross was the greatest demonstration of His love for us, we change… • We become aware of how deeply moving sacrificial love is. • We become …
It’s so easy to forget that the enemy knows us pretty well. He knows our fears and weaknesses… our passions and strengths. Yes, he will twist the very gifts that God blessed us with into some dark version of the light they were meant to radiate… but don’t worry! God will always lovingly redirect us …
The Biblical description of divination is revealed through understanding Deuteronomy 18:10-13, which most people have either never read, or have misinterpreted. Personally, I’m exhausted of Christians leaning on these verses to label almost everything they see as “witchcraft” in today’s world. It’s a weird trend that’s giving Salem witch trial vibes, and I’m not into …
The sisterhood of women in today’s world is not being forged through strength, healing, or fearlessness… but through trauma bonding. Why? Because somehow, we have accepted crumbs of escapism as “happiness,” instead of seeing that we are worth having the whole darn bakery… The reality is that many women are pouring their energy into “self-love” …
Many of us know this well… Those difficult phases of our life when hardship slams into us like a shipwreck. The remnants of our peace and happiness scatter like splinters over sharp rocks of uncertainty. When every day we wander the caverns of our life, picking up the treasures that still remain— little pockets of …
(I wrote and posted this on Facebook on 11/10/24, but I wanted to post it on SOTF for copyright reasons. Sorry that it’s out of order date-wise.) If God created a woman to be a man’s perfect helpmate and purpose partner in order to achieve his greatest potential… that means, as God is creating her …
The term “Christ consciousness” was coined by a psychic/clairvoyant in the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. In recent years, it has been gaining popularity among some spiritual communities and used as a generalized concept to describe a “state of being.” The idea is to model our lives after a collection of well-known spiritual/religious figures throughout history—who …
