We were vacationing and on the way to see some interesting site. We came upon a small, local grocery store and stopped for snacks. As I made my purchase, I couldn’t help noticing the baby in the next check stand. The baby was so tiny and cute! It must have been less than one week old! The young parents were attempting to buy a handful of items with an expired food card. My heart . . .
Read MoreThe Language of Sonship
The nation of Israel coward in fear when God’s voice thundered from Mount Sinai. They wanted Moses to be their mediator. So throughout the whole Old Testament, instead of speaking directly, God spoke through His prophets. The nation of Israel had to piece together what God was trying to communicate to them through the prophetic acts and words of the prophets.
These days, God has a new way of communicating . . . .
Read MoreShine for Jesus
Last week’s devotion reminded me of this one that I had written three years ago. This one is an Old Testament foreshadowing of God’s desire to have us shine for Jesus. . . .

Yes, God will not share His glory with another. Yet in the book of Hebrews (2:10), it says that Jesus brings many sons and daughters to share in His glory. How can that be? . . . .

Read MoreWho Watches Over Me
November 1st, 2019, my Dad was released from his fragile, pain-ridden, earthly tent into the loving arms of his Savior. Finally, my Dad is pain-free and dancing with his Jesus. I’m happy for him! And I look forward to joining him some day.
As I prayed about a fitting tribute to publish here, the Lord reminded me of two things: 1) a touching memory and 2) a poignant poem. . . .

Read MoreSeeing Angels
Twenty or more Healing Room volunteers crowded into my front room to pray over our ministry. As we prayed, someone mentioned that they saw angels up in my loft area. I snapped my head in that direction anxious to see angels in my own house! Alas, I didn’t see them. . . .

Read MoreFall Feasts
All Christians celebrated “God’s feasts,” the feasts that God established, until about 300AD. At that time the Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion and stripped it of its Jewish roots. He gave us Christmas and Easter instead.
Until I became an avid Bible reader, I thought the feasts . . .
Read MoreJacob was Created; Israel was Formed
Jacob (Father of the 12 tribes) was created, but Israel was formed (transformed). Our patriarch, Jacob, wrestled with God by the brook called Jabbok. There God changed his name to Israel. You can review the story in Genesis 32.
I see in this a picture of our regeneration in Jesus Christ. It foreshadows the “born again” experience. Jacob was created, as we all are, . . .
