Chocolate Surrender  Chocolate Surrender??? Yes, you read right. Several years back, God used chocolate to teach me, again, the concept of surrender. I’m going to subtitle this lesson as: Whatever It Takes! A few years ago, I was totally addicted to chocolate. It was really bad! I HAD to have a dark chocolate bar every day or I got really cranky!!!! I was getting really cranky too as I knew this was getting expensive and it just needed to stop! I finally couldn’t take it anymore and went to the Lord sincerely in prayer, “Lord, whatever it takes, take the desire for chocolate away!” IRead More →

Change Where It Is Needed  I’ve heard over and over that we are either entering into, in the midst of, or coming out of tribulations and troubles, and the Scriptures concur: When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: Isaiah 43:2-3a Yes, we are going to go through hard times. God said, “When”, not “If”. So this being the case, thereRead More →

Clearing Our Vision Here are some general points that I hope will help each one of us to keep our focus right and seeing what we should. 1. Keep your sin confessed– daily – more if you need to! If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Psalms 66:18 2. Keep on your Spiritual knees Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Keep studying and meditating on the Word of God – Simply reading it is not sufficient! We are commanded to study, memorized, hide inRead More →

Are You Willing? Are you or I really willing to do whatever God wants us to do? Really willing …. whatever …. anything …? If He called you to be a missionary (or wife to one), an evangelist’s wife, Pastor’s wife, etc….Would you answer the call? If He called your child to the wilds of India, would you tell him/her – “If it’s God’s will for you, then you’d better do it”, supporting them every step of the way? Are we REALLY willing to do God’s will? Then why didn’t we hand a Gospel tract to that cashier the other day? Why did we ignoreRead More →

Content in God’s Will Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11 Are you content in God’s will? I mean, are you really content in God’s will? After many years as of listening to many brothers and sister in Christ, I was surprised (though I should not have been) that very few are truly, consistently, content. Truth be told, I must also count myself among this discontented number. This is nothing new. God’ Word clearly says: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that whichRead More →

Do We Really Want Our Own Way? Anyone that has taken a true look at themselves has to admit that humans are a self-centered and selfish lot. I have even had individuals whom I consider completely selfless to readily admit this truth. Still, let us look at the Word of God: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 It’s a sad thing when God lets us have our own way. (1 Samuel 8:9) He even gives us a run down of the consequences (8:11-18), yet we still want our own way. Read all of 1 SamuelRead More →

My Prayer For His Will Sometimes trials come and we truly want to question why, but for the child of God there is no need. God knows what is best for each one of us, and He uses our trials and tribulations to not only mold but refine us. He is making us into His image: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try themRead More →
