    What Would a Warrior Do?

    January 2, 2021 /

    All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them down. They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them down. They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them down. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the LORD helped me. The LORD is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Psalm 118:10-14 The melodies of a popular song weaved through the fog in my brain, as I struggled to get out of bed. Familiar aches and…

    How To Set Up A War Binder For Your Time With God, Using My Free Printable

    May 1, 2020 /

    WHAT IS A WAR BINDER? & HOW DO I GET STARTED? A War Binder, Prayer Journal, or Prayer Binder, is a resource for you to use in your prayer life. It is a way to organize, visualize, and departmentalize, your thoughts, prayers, and resources. The term ‘war binder” may have come from the movie “The War Room,” where Ms. Clara guides a struggling wife in creating her own “war room” as a place to pray, reflect on scripture and give thanks. A war binder is like having an entire war room in one convenient location. Today we are going to cover how to make your own War Binder, using my…

    Living the Relinquished Life

    April 26, 2020 /

    Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. Luke 22:42 This past month, we have had to relinquish many things we did not expect to have to give up. The Senior class of 2020 has lost their graduation ceremonies, weddings were canceled, birthday parties have been rescheduled or held virtually. Not only were our plans changed without warning, but our sense of security was shaken. What did you have to give up this Spring? It took a pandemic for me to find freedom from the fear of losing a loved one. My husband not only contracted the COVID virus but…

    How To Pray The Scriptures

    January 19, 2020 /

    So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 Being in the Word and praying are the primary methods we use to develop a personal relationship with God. So how powerful do you think it will be when you combine the two practices? What do we mean when we say to “pray Scripture?” It simply means to order your prayer around a particular passage in the Bible. Praying Scripture uses the words of a Bible verse or passage to guide your prayer. It’s a powerful…

    The Prayers of Nehemiah – Part Four; Prayers of Remembrance

    November 17, 2019 /

    “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’ Nehemiah 1:8-9 As we wrap up our series on the prayers of Nehemiah, we are going to look at seven prayers Nehemiah often repeated throughout his story: the prayers of remembrance. Nehemiah used the word remember frequently in prayer (1:8, 5:19, 6:14, 13:14, 22, 29, 31). In his opening prayer, we see…

    The Prayers of Nehemiah – Part Three; Trusting Prayers

    November 10, 2019 /

    They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet the threat. Nehemiah 4:8-9 Here’s the situation. Nehemiah has arrived in Jerusalem to help the people rebuild the city walls to protect themselves. Not everybody is happy about this. Sanballat, the governor of Samaria, was much incensed over this. Sanballat may have had his eye on the position of governor of Judea, where Jerusalem was located, but Nehemiah’s arrival has ruined his plans, putting him in a terrible mood! Sanballat and Tobiah ridiculed those rebuilding the wall in an…

    The Prayers of Nehemiah – Part Two; Arrow Prayers

    November 2, 2019 /

    The king said to me, “What is it you want?” Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king. “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.” Nehemiah 2:4-5 The Situation at Hand Read Nehemiah 2:1-10 HERE. Last week we left off with Nehemiah in prayer as he prepares to ask King Artaxerxes to let him go to Jerusalem and help his people. The opportunity has arisen for Nehemiah to ask the king for his favor. Nehemiah was nervous…

    5 Prayers for Your Home

    October 5, 2019 /

    My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. Isaiah 32:18 Welcome Home! This simple phrase holds so much hope and promise. Praying over our homes is one of the greatest acts we can perform for our houses and families. As we walk around and through our homes, we welcome the Holy Spirit to surround our spaces and our people with the love and protection of our Savior. Our homes should inspire us to go out into the world to do great things and then welcome us back for refreshment. – Unknown A Prayer Walk Today I am giving you some simple prayers…
