Receiving His Gift of Peace

For many people, the holidays can be a difficult time. Loneliness, challenges with health or finances, or trouble in relationships are a few of the things that can cloud a joyful season with a blanket of sadness. We’ve all experienced those times to one degree or another.

As I sat in my living room the other evening, enjoying the colors and sparkle of Christmas décor, the Christmas angel adorning my mantle caught my eye. Seeing her reminded me of the words the angel spoke when Jesus was born, “Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and goodwill to men.”

In the midst of the many struggles we are facing today, whether on a personal, family, or cultural level, it’s comforting to remember why He came. Jesus came so that we can have peace and to give us a heart – His heart – of good will towards each other. With so much ill will spoken in politics and media, if there was ever a time we needed peace and good will it is now.

At this Christmas time my prayer for you and for this nation, is that we will experience His peace and rediscover the richness and beauty of good will towards mankind. May we each receive what He came to give us.

May the Lord bless you and keep and cause His face to shine on you and be gracious to you. May He look you full in the face and prosper you with peace. Numbers 6:24-26

Victory in Spiritual Warfare

Whether we like it or not, or even want to believe it or not, spiritual warfare is a real thing we encounter in life on earth. God is real. The devil is real. But victory over our spiritual enemy is also a reality that we can experience. 

Letting Go of the Past

The Father is calling us to look up, come up, and move forward into the radiant destiny He has for us. To move forward involves letting go of the past so we can move fully forward into His plans and purposes for us. 

Increasing In Courage & Confidence

“God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless.” – Chester W. Nimitz

Today, more than ever, the world is experiencing a great need for encouragement in the midst of fear and adversity. Our Father wants us to have courage and confidence in Him. These two qualities are important keys for succeeding in life and divine purpose.

The Builder Has Come

God’s plan for you has not stopped. The Father sent His Son, Jesus, as the great Builder and Constructor of the Father’s purposes in the Earth and with you!
