Ephesians 3:17-19
Being a prodigal has mostly become a narrative applied to the wayward children of parents. I have heard many parents speak about their children being in a prodigal state, however parents can sometimes be prodigal children as well, because GOD is the Father of us all. The word Prodigal refers to a wasteful person. When... Continue Reading →
I am so thankful for the counsel of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes it is hard to make sense of your experiences, however if you are really open to truth, then the light of the Lord can eliminate the gray by dividing the light from the darkness to help you discern what is really going on....

Together, we can burn as this wonder that Moses witnessed, with the glory of GOD. All we need bring is the Fire-would. If we would… bring soft hearts that receive... Continue Reading →
Christ didn’t come to win friends; He came to save friends. Christ came calling sinners to repentance. Sin is rebellion against GOD, and rebellion against GOD is lethal both physically and spiritually. You can’t consider yourself someone’s friend if you are unwilling to warn them of danger. We shouldn’t mistake gaining the favor of someone... Continue Reading →

The same word is used in reference to... Continue Reading →
