Blessings Friends! Matthew 5:6: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. I was going to post more fasting info this time, but I didn’t get it done before my surgery, and I’ve now concluded my first forty-day fast, so I thought it more appropriate to talk about that. […]

Blessings Friends, Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” What an invitation! The question is, are you ready to know great and mighty things? My prayer for a deeper relationship with Christ has yielded some interesting results. Sunday evening, our […]

Blessings Friends, Today’s promise is 1 Peter 2:1-3: “Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.” I had a dream that my youngest daughter and […]

Praise The Lord! I’m FREE!!! Yes, my scans looked even better this year than last, and I was told I didn’t have to go back to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance next year unless I wanted to! The doctor said I could go back any time I experienced symptoms or just for my own peace of […]

Blessings Friends, In my last post, Under Attack: Overcoming Adversity, I talked about the fact that, while Satan seeks to destroy our faith and discourage us through physical and spiritual attacks, ultimately, it is God who is the Author of our experiences. He is our Creator, and only He knows what each of us needs […]

Blessings Friends! I’m back from the most amazing writers’ conference ever! My short story “The Uninvited Guest” won first place in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary contest! I just about passed out when they announced my name. Out of about 1,000 entries, they had narrowed each category down to eight or nine finalists. From […]

Blessings, Friends! 2 Peter 1:6: “… and to temperance patience…” So, on to Patience.—You’re going to love this. First, let’s take a look at what James and Paul had to say on the subject: James 1:2-4: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers [trials]; Knowing this, that the trying of your […]

Blessings, Friends! We have so far covered our foundation of faith, and started building on that with God’s own goodness, and knowledge. Now, we are to add temperance. This is the Greek word, “egkrateia” which simply means the strength to control your flesh. (I have added a more in-depth look at the distinctions between the […]

Blessings Friends, 2 Peter 1:5: “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue (excellence); and to virtue knowledge.” So far, we’ve established that we have received all we need to live in The Spirit, through an intimate knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit makes this possible, but, like any […]

Blessings Friends, We pick up the study in 2 Peter 1:5. “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;” We have our foundation of faith, and now we begin to build upon it with virtue. WARNING: Rough Road Ahead! If you are already perfect, stop reading here! This word “virtue” in the […]
