Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. Psalm 23:4 One of the biggest questions and areas of confusion for Christians and non-Christians alike is why we go through hard things. Why did my dad pass away suddenly and without notice in 2009?...

The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (Jesus) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 The enemy’s job is to steal your hope, kill your dreams, and destroy your purpose. A Christian with no purpose is not a threat to the kingdom of darkness....

Why Are We Afraid? “The Lord is my light and my salvation – so why should I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1 Let’s be honest. How many of us do what David did in this Psalm and stop and ask ourselves why we’re afraid? Pr…

“The Lord is my light and my salvation - so why should I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1 Let’s be honest. How many of us do what David did in this Psalm and stop and ask ourselves why we’re afraid? Probably very few unless we have been trained to do it. I recently went through a class that completely changed my view of my emotions, reactions, and triggers....

This post is not meant to condemn anyone. I am guilty, too. It’s a reminder to be led by the Holy Spirit and not by our flesh. Love and hugs —Cristy

F E A R… is a liar. In the last two weeks, I’ve had a series of dreams that represent an urgency from the Lord regarding fear. We have been listening to fear and not His voice. It’s time to turn up the volu…

Ever wondered how to get rid of fear? Psalm 34:4 is pretty clear about it. Have a wonderful, fearless day! —Cristy

Seek the Lord “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 Do you remember a time when you were little, and you became afraid of something? Did you run to your mom or dad …

“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 Do you remember a time when you were little, and you became afraid of something? Did you run to your mom or dad for protection? We’re supposed to do the same with our Heavenly Father, but then we grow up. Instead of running to Him for protection we put up emotional walls, feebly attempting to protect ourselves from fear....

is a liar. In the last two weeks, I’ve had a series of dreams that represent an urgency from the Lord regarding fear. We have been listening to fear and not His voice. It’s time to turn up the volume of His Word and silence the mouth of fear. Christian, what are you afraid of? Sickness? A vaccine? Death? All of them?...

Isaiah 26:3 He will keep those in perfect peace whose mind is stayed (supported, leaned on, rested in, sustained, upheld, refreshed, revived, braced) on Him: because we trust in Him. The mind is a tricky and powerful place. Thoughts come in right and left, so fast sometimes they’re difficult to process. The Bible tells us some of our thoughts are not even our own, and we can’t trust them (2 Corinthians 10:5)....

Walk in His Ways I used to crave leadership to teach me the Lord’s ways, to speak into my life. I heard from God through my pastors only. In junior high and high school, I looked up to my youth pastors. Then they d…

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He (Jesus) was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; The more life I live, the more I truly understand that He is everything. Our lives flow externally from our internal beings. Thoughts drive our actions. I think I’m hungry, then I eat....
