I was asked on numerous occasions and i myself have asked this of the Lord: IF God is so good, how come He allows evil in the world? Why didn't He just destroy the devil from the get-go? If He saw from beginning to end, surely He wouldn't have let this all happen? The Answer i got was given only...

This is for when you tell your husband, children or good friend... "love you", for when you thank God for the food that is about to go into your mouth, when you thank God for the job you have, when you thank God for a peaceful day....... Now, this isn't meant to send any guilt in an easy,restful...

I watch in excitement of our children growing into adults. In their graduating, getting married and having babies, i STILL hear The Lord's Word challenging me to hold on loosely to this world and always ready to go home with Him. Someone in church once said to me.. "Cheryl, you think of death...

Stressed out and worried are clear indications to ourselves that we are not trusting God. Jesus never said, "worry, stress out, lean on your understanding *or the understanding of others* and try to figure out everything going on in your life." No, instead He said, "trust God." Impossible...

A few days after i watched the newest Cinderella movie. The Lord gently spoke: "This World is like lizards and pumpkins." In one hour it will all be gone. But she did get time and a glimpse of what the Prince was like..... Then my mind was taken to a place that Jesus has prepared for those who...

Our rededication to the Lord needs to be done Every Day. Our baptism of the Holy Spirit needs to be asked for Every Day. We are to communicate to Him everyday thankful and found abiding in His Words. Why? Because Jesus said Today IS the day that He could come for us. We need to be ready. We...

The Gospel is the Word of God born *manifested* in flesh. So He, Jesus, told the truth. Do you believe His Words bring life ? Do you really study and follow the WHOLE gospel? Our natural mind does not understand them, but they bring power, the power of God and the manifestation of His love. So...

Before Christ there is NO help in our succumbing to trials. But After Christ we can overcome them and must to be saved during them. Jesus overcame to the biggest of trial in the power He was born with so likewise we can over come. Besides He said we were more than conquerors. wow. You know...

If you do not Stand on The Rock, you will find yourself throwing one. Amen. Be blessed.

How much do you think that Jesus planted in His mind studying The Word for 30 years? We see the Tree and fruit that came out of Him. If He had planted any worldly seed or kept any that the enemy tried to plant, He might have failed at some point. And if it took a while for Him to plant and wait...

In my walk with the Lord, sometimes without reason, i would find myself crying, feeling a certain heaviness surpassing my understanding. Please understand that I felt fine with no trials going on, but i would go into "the closet" with it anyway. And well, His Word declares that He knows what...

I have been having the symptom of tennis elbow in my left arm lately. I can still function with it, of course, it does not affect the rest of my body, nor does it affect me in what i need to get done. It only aches with pain sometimes (way more when stretched or worked) and is very aggravating...

Like the Psalmist said; Even if I went to the depths of Sheol there He would be... Psalm 139:8 Jesus has the keys to heaven and hell now. Rev 1:18 Paul said at point of anguish for his Jewish brethren that he would be willing to be cursed for them (or jail) that they would know Christ. Romans...

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath...

I am so, so thankful to the Lord that i am no longer part of a dying family tree, but grafted into a LIVING tree. Hallelujah. I was once unknowingly sitting in Sheol (outside the gate of His Kingdom in the City of David) blind, naked, deaf, lame and yes, a begger. No, i didn't know much of...
