If you aren’t feeling blessed today, what you need is prayer. If you cannot see yourself as highly favored today, what you need is prayer. If you cannot picture yourself as an instrument being played by the hand God for the uplifting of His people, then you need to spend some time with Him, in…
Sometimes we are so caught up in worldly things that we just can’t see the beautiful thing God is doing in the midst of it. Today I witnessed one of these beautiful moments when everything came together with perfection only God can offer, but even in the midst of it, the enemy was doing his best to beat those being blessed down and cause them to miss their blessing.

In researching his life, I discovered that in his later years of ministry there was some controversy surrounding the consistency and the validity of his personal testimony and ministry. This…
A month or so back, I stumbled upon Joshua Chapter 9 while looking for some scriptures about leadership. Since then, I have revisited that chapter over and over again, and with each visit came another layer of revelation.
