June 3, 2017 - 3:04 pm June 3, 2017

My heart is so touched this afternoon, by the words from the song ‘You Came’ by Jonathan David Helser– “You turned my fear into faith”. What a powerful expression of worship and spontaneous outbursts of praise and proclamation to the Master of all Masters. As I viewed this video, I broke in tears not only because of the faithfulness of my…

Exhortation to Overcome

September 30, 2016 - 9:51 am September 30, 2016

As believers in Messiah Yahushua, we are all called to overcome and to let our lights shine in the darkness. That means we stand out from the darkness.

What Do You Believe?

July 29, 2016 - 4:12 pm July 29, 2016

While talking to Father today, this ‘truth’ began to form within me… When truth comes, healing comes. When Messiah Yahushua showed up, healing came for people.

Shabbat thoughts recorded two weeks ago – “As I was praying for direction and His leading, the facing of the Red Sea by the children of Israel came to me.
