If there is a fire building within let it be of the Holy Spirit and not rage. If the fire is consuming, be consumed with holiness. If the fire burns deep, allow Jesus to mold it and not this world. If the fire pulls you toward the enemies tactics, choose to reach out to God …
Is there anything standing between you and God? Until you resolve it with God, it will keep you separated from Holy. Trying harder won’t help. You will still feel a distance, a certain disconnect, or a lull with God even though you seek worship, sing praises, and pray diligently. There was a time in my …
I am always thankful that God’s way prevails over my way. I would venture to say that I do not realize that in the moment, though. It is when I reflect on how things turned out in every season of my life that I truly see how God’s ways, plans, provisions, and protections are so …
