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…

Wearing Our Armor-God’s Word
My friends, I want to share with you today how I “pray on” my armor. And I do this out loud whenever possible. I know that can be awkward at times in our spiritually mismatched places, but I find bathrooms, closets and cars to be good places when needed! Lord, today I am putting on…

Under the Umbrella of Our Amor and Identity
My friends, forgive me if my last post confused you but I promise that as I wrap this up it will all make sense. As the Holy Spirit has revealed more and more of the importance and power God’s Word plays in our lives, I am undone by it. And my prayer is that by…

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…

Are You Stepping Out From Under The Umbrella of God’s Protection?

Standing Under The Umbrella- The Battle For Our Life!

Parenting Supernaturally
How is our parenting supernatural? We find the answer in a powerful passage of God’s Word…. And this paragraph was written specifically for all of us who are married to unbelievers. For the rest of you who are in mixed marriages-Christian married to non-Christian-we have no explicit command from the Master. So this is what…

Fight The Demonic
In fighting against the tide of the demonic there is nothing more powerful than our words. The tongue has the power of life and death -Proverbs 18:21a I literally believe this. So I speak two kinds of words. Words of life – faith, belief, affirmation and truth from the Word of God over my life…

The Temptation of Jesus
My friends, the Holy Spirit has me reading the book of Luke right now. Again, He seems to be pointing out particular stories and giving me deeper revelation as part of our preparation right now. These are exciting revelations and exciting times. We are hearing more and more reports of breakthroughs throughout this community and…

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…

This Time, I Prayed Differently For My Husband -Chronicles Of The Donovan Clan
I started to pray differently. My friends, in the past two weeks I’ve experienced a shaking. A shaking in my prayer life, my husband has been shaken, our marriage too. God is shaking things that have been entwined in our marriage for nearly two decades. Two weeks ago I prayed for my husband and since…

Secret Sin – A Barrier To Breakthrough
Okay, so weird. In the past two weeks I’ve heard more messages about prayer than I could have dreamed. Even today at church, the message was: Why Pray? My friends, let’s talk about this unique thing, we the religious, call prayer. In fact, right off the bat, I want to debunk all the “religiousness” off…

Worship is More Than a Song
My friends, few weeks ago I asked Abba for a better understanding of what worship means to Him. If we look at worship from a worldly perspective, we can easily attribute human needs and behaviors, like ego and self centeredness to God, which is completely opposite of His selfless and merciful character. So I asked…
