Breakthrough Praying for Breakthrough Living-
Believing Prayer!It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray; but we must patiently, believingly continue in prayer, until we obtain an answer; and further, we have not only to continue in prayer unto the end, but we have also to believe

Thankful Thursday –
The Privilege of Prayer and FastingI am overwhelmed by the power of prayer. It is a mystery that mere mortals can talk directly to our perfect and holy Father. I am astonished He listens. Further still, He goes about answering prayer sometime in such incredible ways there can be no doubt God is moving in our midst. Today, Thursday, February

Breakthrough Praying for Breakthrough Living
“One day George Mueller began praying for five of his friends. After many months, one of them came to the Lord. Ten years later, two others were converted. It took 25 years before the fourth man was saved. Mueller persevered in prayer until his death for the fifth friend, and throughout those 52 years he

A Final Word on Thankfulness
I know, I know. You’re most likely tired of the subject by now. Thanksgiving is over. We’ve seen plenty of posts about it, but I want to bring one more dish to the table before it’s cleared. Thankfulness for our unbelieving spouses. Sometimes this is incredibly difficult, or nearly impossible, but I do believe it

A Fine Linen Belt
In Jeremiah 13, God tells Jeremiah to purchase a linen belt and tie it around his waist. Jeremiah does as God instructs him. Then God speaks a second time, telling Jeremiah to bury the belt in a crevice. Many days later, Jeremiah unearths the belt at God’s direction and finds it ruined and completely useless.

So Be It
I stood in a circle of anticipation. All week long I’d secretly hoped to hear another word from God. I’d asked him to speak to me, if that was his will. Now the last day of the Christian writer’s conference I’d attended all week had come, and my anticipation had peeked to bursting. Would God

Prayer of Petition
Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being

The Great Hope Maker
Last week, I posted about enduring hope. At the end of the article, I included this verse as part of a prayer. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

Aaron and Hur
Exodus 17:12 (New International Version) 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up-one on one side, one on the other-so that his hands remained steady till sunset. Do you remember this story? I was reading this

The Valley

Praying Scripture for your Spouse
We have all done it. We each have prayed and prayed and prayed thinking this is THE TIME that God will move in my spouse’s life. This time my spouse will change. We have prayed, certain God would answer us this time. Yeah, blah, blah, blah, I have heard all about the woman who prayed

Spiritual Battle for the Soul
Recently my friends at 1Peter3Living were discussing the fact that our spouses would lash out at us verbally. Many of us have endured a personal attack on our beliefs or character or a number of things. I believe it is important to remember that our unsaved spouses are susceptible to the enemy attacks. Our spouses

Pray Like Crazy
Ephesians 6:12 (New International Version)12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Raising Kids Christian – Part III
It’s up early, make lunches, organize the backpacks, dressing then driving kids to school. We are busy parents of busy children. We often miss many teachable moments in our rushed day. I see teachable moments as a divine appointment with God when our child is open to practical, Biblical teaching. I have found a very

Raising Kids Christian – Part II
After is was quiet and the children were in bed, Linda retrieved her Bible, took it into the kitchen, and left it on view for a week before taping it back together. Children who grow up in homes where they witness this kind of response to Christianity need all the prayer covering they can get.
