  • You have conquered what Napoleon could not.

    “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. Isaiah 43:2

    One of the brightest stars in my life recently told me that I conquered what Napoleon could not. As I layed awake through the night thinking about what I have conquered my thoughts immediately came to the conclusion that I had not ever conquered anything.

    As I pondered these thoughts in my heart the question arose within me asking “Why I felt like I had never conquered anything?” The very next thing my mind began to do was recall everytime I failed, every battle that left me scarred. Everytime my flesh cried out for relief instead of being strong and unwavering. These things leave us feeling so much less than conquerors.

    My son came to me once in a very difficult time in my life and sobered my soul up instantly when the wisdom of God came forth from his sweet little mouth. ( he was 4 years old at the time). “Mommy I saw the Lord today and He said that from where you are that you can’t see what is around the other side of the house next door, but he said Mommy, the Lord said He sees everything from where He is and everything is going to be ok.

    You can imagine my shock and immediately surrender to tenderness. We see through clouded glass, broken mirrors and limited vision. It distorts the truth of who we are in Christ because we still have eyes of flesh. The truth is, we are conquerors. Yes, even more than conquerors through Him that loves us! Every victory is the Lords. Every battle ends in victory for the born again believer. Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? His banner of LOVE rides high above us in BATTLE. Assuring us of victory everytime. Until next time sweet friends. Jenny

  • Word Of God

    A living sword that divides the soul and spirit; discerning thoughts and hearts.

    Received by faith, out of the mouth of babes is perfected praise.

    Inspired by the Spirit and written by a select Chosen people

    cannot be contained in houses with steeples.

    Etched with the finger of God’s right hand into the minds of His Sons and Daughters.

    Hidden in their hearts so as not to sin or falter

    powerful when spoken creates light.

    The mere letter kills but the spirit of the truth – life.

    Raises dead men out of graves.

    Delivers addicts from themselves – The Word of God saves.

    Heals every disease and wins every battle.

    Even stops the wagging of busybody’s tattles.

    Restores relationships and homes.

    The Word still lives on – in even dead men’s bones.

    Debatable by skeptics and religion’s white-washed tombs.

    Misused by ignorant, preaching gloom and doom.

    Into the entire world and preach the GOOD NEWS.

    “What is that?” Having never heard it confused.

    What is good news to a blind man? “You can see again.”

    What is good news to a liar? “You don’t have to be a liar anymore.”

    What is good news to the poverty stricken? “You don’t have to be poor.”

    What is good new to the prostitute? “You can be born again anew.”

    What is the good news to prisoners and slaves? “You can be rescued, redeemed, saved.”

    What is good news to abused or dreamless little boys and girls?

     “You are Gods most precious and greatest treasure, priceless pearls.”

    Not egotistical or prejudice in any sense.

    The Word of God is relevant NOW, not past-tense.

    It’s not the watered down religious emptiness that scoffers and hirelings have portrayed.

    But is the same Word that created the universe and is sitting in your house today.

    I hope you are curious.

    Begin a relationship with The Promise – Go see what’s inside.

    Read it with expectation and watch it come alive.

  • Writer’s Pen

    Writers sit with pen in hand or poised solemnly at the keys

    waiting for an inspiration or a great epiphany.

    The preacher opens the Word of God in search of divine revelation,

    pondering the response of the hopeful congregation.

    A musician rises every morning with just one thing on the brain,

    to play the song he hears in his head repeating over and over again.

    The prophet bows his will and bends to the Holy Spirit’s prodding

    and hears His words clearly in his heart, not soon forgotten.

    Artists stand before the empty canvas, though not empty in their minds.

    For a vision of complete perfection who can find?

    The gentle Shepherd with staff in hand guides

    his sheep to grasses green.
