• Grace To Move Mountains

    January 7, 2019

    Grace is not a word I would have ever used to describe my life in the past, and until recently grace has been more of a concept or idea. According to the dictionary, grace is unmerited approval or favor, freely given. That means you don’t have to work for it or do something in particular to receive it. For most of us, I think grace is a foreign concept, especially if it’s coming from God. In Christianese, grace is used often and easily to describe the Christian life, but how many of us actually can apply that same grace to…

    New Creation In Christ

    January 1, 2019

    We are new creations in Christ and our life belongs to Christ. When we chose Jesus we chose to walk away from our identity as Pharaoh’s child and Egypt’s treasures. We chose instead to suffer with God’s people because we knew we were looking towards a greater reward: the rewards of eternal life in heaven. For now, we are here on assignment as heavens ambassadors; called to be set apart for the sake of the gospel message. Our lives are consecrated and dedicated unto the Lord; a pleasing aroma to Him. He does not see us for our faults or…

    The Cost Of Following Christ

    April 9, 2018

    Following Jesus has never been easy. If we look back to ancient times we have seen that the cost of following Christ can be one’s own life. Even in modern times we have seen Christians being slain in other countries for their beliefs. Here in the United States where I live, we don’t see a lot of death and persecution for following Jesus. I honestly have never thought a lot about the cost to me personally for following Christ. I’m the type of person that once I commit something, I am all in. Making the decision to commit is a…

  • How To Live The Good Life In Christ

    January 29, 2018

    Having a good life is something we all want. No one wants to experience, fear, pain or struggles in this world. Often times when we come into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we believe that those are things that we should be able to leave behind. Being a Christian should raise us to a new way of living that is free from sin and it’s effects. Unfortunately, that is not the way life works. Since the beginning of time, life has been a struggle. Ever since the moment when Adam and Eve chose to partner with Lucifer in the Garden…

    How To Know God’s Will For Your Life?

    January 22, 2018

    How many times have you wondered, ‘What is God’s will for me?’ or ‘How can I find God’s will in this matter?’ I think we all at some point in time come to a place where we want to know if we are doing God’s will or following God’s plan for our lives. It might be because we want to please Him, or it might be out of fear. Whatever our motive is, anyone who loves God at some point wants to know His will. Yet so many of us struggle with how we can know God’s will. It seems…

    Identity In Christ

    October 16, 2017

    How many times have you looked around the world and wondered why a good God would allow so much evil? Or how terrible things happen to good people? Surely a God of love would never allow these things. This is a common thought that many people have, which leads them away from Christ and into a pit of lies created in hell. If God is Sovereign, but the world is evil, then it looks like God is either evil Himself, or completely impotent to change it. What we don’t understand is that we are not looking at the world from…

  • Finding Peace In The Midst Of A Chaotic World

    October 2, 2017

    Recently I have really been striving to understand the truth about peace. As I go through my inner healing process and gain more and more freedom from the bondage of the occult, I find myself more and more on the receiving end of attack. As the attack came, I found myself overwhelmed by the scope of it. In the midst of the war, I found it hard to make Christ my dwelling place and home. Yet as I cried out for peace from God one morning, I heard Him say “I am your peace.” When we think of the word…

  • How To Forgive: Steps To Freedom From Pain And Shame

    September 18, 2017

    Last week I wrote a post about forgiveness, and I would like to follow it up with a post on how to forgive. Learning to forgive can be quite difficult for some people. It can seem as though forgiving someone is excusing every bad thing they have done to you. However, that is not how the Lord sees forgiveness. Jesus came to set us free from oppression and death, and when we hold on to unforgiveness, we are holding on to the very things that strive to keep us in bondage. For I consider that the sufferings of this present…

    The Power of Forgiveness

    September 11, 2017

    Forgiveness has been something that I have struggled with all of my life. From the time I was born, I was being physically and sexually abused by my family and at the Mormon Church. I grew up feeling worthless and abandoned; constantly lied to and betrayed. I was beaten down for having gifts from God to see and talk to Him, and was taught that I was generally stupid and altogether evil. All these things shaped the core of who I was. Instead of growing into a tender young girl who loved the Lord, and wanted to help and serve…

    Armor Of God: How It Protects You, Piece By Piece

    May 22, 2017

    The Armor of God is an important part in the Christian walk of faith. It is described not only as a valuable asset against the schemes of the enemy, but also for faith, truth, righteousness, peace and prayer. When we put on the full Armor of God, we are putting on the strength and might of the Lord Himself. In this world we are up against rulers and authorities of the Second Heaven, and only through the power of God are we able to fight against them. Each piece of the armor correlates with areas of weakness and where we…
