“Download complete,” says the Lord. “I have completely downloaded every gift, every talent, and every ability you will need to navigate this life. I have downloaded My Spirit into yours, and My Spirit has imparted the whole of Heaven. Heaven (the Kingdom) is available to you!” “For we have this treasure in earthen vessels.” — 2 Corinthians 4:7 “The Kingdom of God is within you.” — Luke 17:21b I think I have the most frustrating computer on the planet! I’m not quite sure why

“Sow seed at every opportunity. If you do this, you will have what you need to sustain you through the tough seasons. Many have forgotten this approach to harvest and blessing in their lives. What you sow, you grow! Sow kindness if that is what you are asking from others. When you plant and/or water, I cause increase to take place!” “Sow your seed in the morning, and in the evening let your hands not be idle…” — Ecclesiastes 11:6 Sowing and reaping is a familiar concept for

If you are a believer in Christ, you understand that Jesus has set you free. You are free from the law of sin and death. But sometimes we place ourselves back into bondage in various areas of our lives. We may not even realize it has happened. However, if we reflect honestly, we can probably identify some area of our life that has either yet to experience the fullness of that freedom or has returned to the same bondage from which Christ freed us. That bondage can show up in o

I hear the words “fractionary cost.” The Spirit is saying, 'It will only cost you a fraction of what it cost others. Time is short, and grace abounds in order to reach a lost people, to make a deeper and lasting impact, and to change the trajectory of lives. What you desire will cost you, but it will not cost what it has cost others. This is My favor. Your business, your home, your ministry, your family—call it under the umbrella of My favor, and I will bring it to pass.” “So

The Lord says, “I go before you. I have trampled the boulders of the enemy. I have cleared the path of adversity. If you remain in My shadow, I will make your race to the finish smoother than it may have begun. I see the end from the beginning . . . you win!” “. . . the race is not given to the swift, nor the battle to the strong . . . but time and chance happen to all.” — Ecclesiastes 9:11 “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run

The Spirit of the Lord says, “When things don’t go as ‘planned,’ keep your focus! Don’t give up or give in so quickly.” Sometimes when we make plans, they simply do not go the way we had hoped. There’s a quote from Leonard Snart in The Flash that says, “Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan.” While our trust is never in human strategy alone, there is wisdom in understanding that life does not always unfold according to our e

The Lord says, "though your life may have seemed like a roller coaster, with mountain peaks and the deepest of valleys, He has given you the Spirit and is cutting through your desert and the wastelands of your life, and bringing you healing, refreshing, and direction towards your destiny where the abundance of waters await you." As I was praying, the phrase “a river runs through it” dropped into my spirit. I was reminded of the 1992 movie with the same title. I won’t go int

ARE YOU LIVING A LIFE OF “NO REGRETS?” Most people, young or old, can think of a decision they made in life that they wish they could “undo.” That’s regret. But it is difficult for the Holy Spirit to lead us into our future when we continually dwell on our past. It has taken me a long time to come to a place of “no regrets” (and sometimes the cord still tries to get kinked), but what’s done is done. Don’t make another poor decision by allowing your heart to stay trapped there
