When you hear the word “calling,” what comes to mind? I wrote a poem five years ago with my own understanding of that word at that time in my life. The good Lord has a unique way of fine-tuning our thinking. I invite you to come along and see how He tweaked me to “see” what “calling” means through His eyes!

What difference would it make to you personally if your favorite all-time hero, an international dignitary or world leader, a famous celebrity, or your prized superstar athlete walked into your presence? Greater still – What if Jesus walked into the room?

We all get discouraged because life’s circumstances have a way of pulling us down. The secret is to know how to not stay down but to get back up and continue fighting the good fight of faith. Even then, we need to stir up ourselves or those around us who need to be encouraged by the Word of God.

As a writer, I love words. It wasn’t until Jesus became my Lord and Savior that I realized the true significance and power of words. As God designed it to be, words are seeds we sow and they will always bear a harvest. We reap what we sow. God’s greatest gift and legacy to the world was His living Word Jesus, who showed us the Father’s heart of love lived out so we could know and follow Him.

Fasting and praying isn’t always the easiest thing to do. nonetheless, when we do it as unto the Lord, He is always so faithful to reward and bless our obedience and commitment to Him. The beginning of a New Year is a popular time many churches choose to go on a 21 day fast. Read the Word of the Lord I received on the last day of our corporate fast.

God has so much in store He wants for all of His children to have. In order to receive His blessings we must be in the right position. We do that by seeking His face and coming into alignment with His will and desires. He leads us by His Spirit to be in that state of union so we can experience the fullness of a relationship with Him.

Is there something in your life that you have been believing God for but has not yet manifested? There are some things that will not happen except by prayer and fasting. Allow God to speak to you concerning these things through an intimate time of unity when you fast and pray as He has commanded His people to do.

I can only imagine the reverential fear that filled the shepherds hearts when the angel appeared to announce the birth of Jesus. How wonderful it must have been to be an eye witness to the glorious appearing of the Savior of the world! The good news is that we can also be a witness to the reality of Jesus when we accept Him in our heart. Come let us adore Him!

Who is the most powerful person on the planet you know or know about? How would your life be different if you intimately knew and walked with this person on a regular basis? What would you do if you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was entirely possible? What would you do if you had the amazing opportunity to be part of their inner circle of influential friends! Would you take it? Read on…

On the Day of Pentecost those waiting in the Upper Room, as Jesus told them to do, experienced the explosive dunamis power of the Holy Spirit. That kind of power is still available to followers of Christ today because it is the same Holy Spirit and the same holy fire God desires for believers to carry wherever they go in order to transform this earth and restore His Kingdom order.
