Often, we think that we can just coast through life and say, “What will be, will be. I’ve been good enough and I go to church. So, I’m good.” This is one of the biggest lies the enemy has fed us. The rich young ruler’s encounter with Jesus is an eye-opening one. Jesus offered him the opportunity to be […]
The melody of the song, “Hail to the Chief” filled the air as I watched former President George H.W. Bush’s casket near the Capitol rotunda, where he will lay in state for a time. There are several steps at the entrance of the rotunda. How do they successfully get the casket to where it needs […]
What does it mean to rest? Does it mean that we don’t have to do anything and we can expect God to do it all? Not exactly…but we do have to sit down and take our seat! Take Your Seat As we are occupying the earth and taking territory for the kingdom of God in […]
He’s calling you deeper! The strain, stretching, and tugging on your heart is your Beloved calling you deeper! Being called deeper sometimes feels like you are hitting a wall. It can feel exactly the opposite of blissful romance. The searching Song of Solomon 6:1 shows this search of desperation. That moment of anxiety when the […]
The Worship of a Burning Heart
It is the presence of God that changes people—not our services.
“One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple,” (Psalm 27:4 NASB).

Is Your Heart Burning? And no, I am not talking about the kind of heart-burn that is caused by what you ate for dinner! That’s acid reflux. 🤣 The kind of burning I’m talking about causes true pleasure in knowing the Lord personally and knowing that He knows you inside and out! The kind of burning that […]
My heart’s desire is to see the body of Christ functioning in unity! David writes of a promise of the Lord about this in Psalm, “For from this realm of sweet harmony, God will release His eternal blessing, the promise of life forever!” (133: 3 TPT). Below is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Permission […]
I believe several in the body of Christ are currently going through a purification process, burning the compromise out of our lifestyles. However, purification requires fire, and this fire offends. Many years ago, I recall the time I went through a similar experience. Below is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Permission to Burn, describing […]
I hear a sound coming from the depths of the souls of a company of people! They are beautifully adorned with the glory of the Father! They are His daughters—His radiant ones! They were born to blow the trumpet and birth a movement! Daughters, you were born for such a time as this! You were […]
DESPERATE Often when we are desperate and weak, we call on someone whom we consider a prayer warrior to say ” I need you to pray for me!” Then we pour out our frustration and aching hearts before them. Desperation is beautiful to the Lord and He loves when we are vulnerable enough […]
