    Resentment Turns Into THIS… And it will hold you captive

    Part IPart IIToday is: Part III So the weird anger explosions transpired a few years ago. And I can state fully that I haven’t had a moment of raw anger since then. Hallelujah. That doesn’t mean I don’t get mad or angry at times. Just not to the extent of a few years ago. Jesus…

    It’s Palm Sunday – How Did You Come To Faith?

    It’s Palm Sunday! I’ll finish up the remaining few posts about my mom’s story in April. Also in April, I’m compelled to talk about weariness. In the last few months, my heart has ached for SUMites who have told me they are weary in the waiting. Man, do I ever feel a revelation of the…

    Your Mismatched Marriage Isn’t a “But” (part 2)

    My friends, on Tuesday we started talking about seeing our marriages instead of a but, to see them as a "But God…" My heart is to encourage you to walk in God's truths and to be all that His heart and love have declared and planned for you to be. The more I work in…

  • Authority – The Believer’s Responsibility

    Authority – The Believer’s Responsibility

    Last Monday we took a look at authority. The central message of this post is to clearly establish through scripture that Jesus passed His authority to His disciples, including modern day disciples. That would be us. We are commanded to follow in His teachings and to fulfil the purposes of the Kingdom of God. The…

    They Are ALWAYS Listening. Our Authority

    This is one of the most important post to read. Please take the time to make it to the bottom. Hugs, Lynn SUMites, after writing the post, Legal Permissions, that I was originally intended to post today, the Holy Spirit strongly impressed upon me that we need to first consider our authority in Jesus. That…

    The Belt of Truth

    Okay, I feel better. Let's get going….. Do you have a Buddha statue in your front yard? How about a stone idol that you worship in your front room? Ahem, NO! My friends, the enemy isn’t that obvious. Do you know how he goes about with his deceptions? He asks a question. Now the serpent…

    Back To School…. And A New Series Begins

    SUMite Nation: We are shifting gears. Following the SCOTUS Ruling last month I quickly realized that many of us were staring “Fear” straight in the face. As mamas we were grappling with questions such as. How do I handle it when little Johnny asks, “Can I go to my best friend’s house to play. Oh…

    God Restores Us Too (part 2)

    Dear friends, on Saturday I started telling you a little bit about the dark night of the soul I walked through in 2014 and what 1 Peter 5:6-10 came to mean to me. Let’s look at those verses again and I’ll finish my story. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that…

  • Our Authority to “Pass It On”

    Our Authority to “Pass It On”

    Dear friends, I feel like I'm on a treasure hunt through the Bible and the Holy Spirit keeps revealing these nuggets of wisdom and knowledge. In fact, I shared this verse on Facebook last week because it keeps showing up: In him [Christ] lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. – Colossians 2:3…

    Pray With Power

    I believe. I’ve decided that I believe the Bible. I believe the sun and moon stood still and there has never been a day like that before or since then. But I believe that if God tells me to command the sun, He will surely do it. And He will send the hailstones as well…

    Spirit of Self-hatred – Annihilated…. Hallelujah!

    There are many reasons why Dineen and I serve in ministry. There are times when it’s tough as people are broken, sick, oppressed and lost. We, the mismatched are truly on the front lines in our own homes, warring for our families.  Ministry can be tough but it’s for moments like Tiffany’s that I get…

  • It’s Demonic In Nature

    It’s Demonic In Nature

    In the past two weeks I keep hearing it.  It whispers in the car, while in the shower, especially when I’m driving. It’s a voice that’s anything but tender, loving and kind. It’s the voice of darkness and lies.  What is going on here?  It’s been years since this menacing voice of condemnation has pestered…

    The Power We Have To Sanctify Our Spouse

    SUMites.  In the last week, through scripture, other books I’m reading, and email, I’ve been continually drawn to OUR power passage. 1 Corinthians 7:12-14. (See it below.) I am coming into new revelation that this passage is even more powerful than we think. When combined with the passage from Matthew 18:19, which is also being…

    My friends, another clue arrived in my inbox last Thursday morning, a simple verse from John 1. But my spirit stirred and I knew the Holy Spirit was showing where to read next, where the next treasure hunt would begin.  I read the first five verses of the book of John several times, enamored by…

    Day Three – The Promises Fulfilled

      Yesterday we approached the Alter. We surrendered our shame, guilt, our failures, our inadequacies, pain, disappointment, devastation ….. Our brokenness.  Listening to our Father today, I hear Him say to me, “Lynn, you have stood upon my promises and have remained faithful. I cannot deny my own Word.”  There have been many years in…

    The Three Deadly Ds: Disparaging Disbelief

    Dear friends, before Thanksgiving I started a series on the Three Deadly Ds: Dubious Doubt, Debilitating Disbelief and Disparaging Disappointment. In Part One of Dubious Doubt we talked about how the enemy comes in and plants seeds of doubt, as he did with Adam and Eve, and in Part Two I shared some examples of…
