“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6 A few years ago, while I was praying, I felt God speak to my spirit: “It is time for you to walk in your apostolic authority.” At first, I did not fully understand what He meant, so I began to ask God for instruction and to study His Word. Through that process, I learned that walking in apostolic authority does not mean relying on my…
Joshua 10:12, Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Joshua was not satisfied with a partial victory —…

“But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.” 1 Kings 19:4 Elijah prayed this desperate prayer after one of the greatest victories of his life. He had called fire down from heaven to consume a water-soaked sacrifice. He had witnessed God publicly prove His power before an entire nation. He had defeated hundreds of false prophets and prophesied the end…
“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.” Exodus 3:1 Have you ever found yourself in a “backside of the desert” kind of season? The kind where nothing seems to be growing, your strength feels like it’s running on fumes, and even your prayers sound a little dry? The desert can feel barren — a place of disapproval, health struggles, or heartbreak. That’s the kind of place Moses found himself in. Gone…
The very first thing the enemy speaks in scripture is, “Hath God said?” (Genesis 3:1). Phrasing is critical in this verse. Satan positioned his words in such a way that made Eve question the voice of God in her life and to devise distrust with God’s motives. He wanted her to question God’s word and authority. When we have a altered concept of God’s character, then we will most certainly have a skewed understanding of our own identity. We are created in the image of God, giving us His divine nature through distinction; therefore, our identity is in Him. The…
“A time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away.” (Ecclesiastes 3:6, NKJV) It’s often said that “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” I always assumed it referred to thrift shopping like garage sales and second-hand stores. However, variations of this saying go back hundreds of years. Because I am of a certain age, I have too many “treasures.” I don’t have space for them. Most have little dollar value, but I find it difficult to let go. Decluttering is difficult because memories are attached to so many items. These…
