Sometimes, I need to be refreshed in things the Lord has taught me over the years, because it seems like I leak. It’s not intentional, but it does happen. Since I know I am not alone, this month we will take a look at a revised version of the December 2005 Prayer Nuggets. May we [...]
There’s something about me you probably don’t know. I’m a wrestler. Most of the time, I wrestle powers, principalities, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places into ineffectiveness. What a Holy Spirit power surge that is! There are other times, however, that the bout doesn’t appear to be such a sure thing. At [...]
I thought I started reading Walking with God, by John Eldredge, simply because it was included with a set of CDs I ordered. However, it was another of those times I was being led by Holy Spirit without knowing it. The CD messages are helpful, but He knew I really needed this book . . [...]
It’s really difficult to remove all the sticky residue off your shoe after stepping on a discarded piece of chewing gum, even when the solid part is gone. This is especially true when that gum was softening in the heat before you stepped on it, allowing the stickiness to reach its full quality. Every lift [...]
Jesus was in the right place, doing the right thing, saying the right thing, praying the right prayer, and having the right attitude . . . always. Because He humbled Himself to live in mortal human form1, we know He lived fully as man, with the same limitations we face, not drawing on His divinity. [...]
What is it about intercessors? While we are all unique, I suspect more than a few of you share one common trait with me. I am so accustomed to receiving prayer requests from others that I hesitate to make my own needs known to others. Is it pride? Does it just go with the territory [...]
. . . and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]1 No, this is not a re-print of last month’s Prayer Nugget. I thought we were finished with that lesson when I wrote it, since it packs a powerful punch with the Word of God. Even now, the revelation of [...]
I knew by the Spirit my friend was frustrated – very frustrated. His heart’s desire was to do the Father’s will in every part of his life. Though he had invested much time, effort, and expense in making major changes according to what he thought was the Lord’s leading, it seemed as though nothing had [...]
A massive and continuing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, officials seemingly without solutions. Hurricane season in full swing, creating the potential for even greater havoc in the Gulf. The economy refusing to bounce back, regardless of how much money has been thrown at it. Reports of the return of the killer H1N1 flu. [...]
As I read a favorite passage recently, I wondered about Jesus’ thoughts as He prayed that beautiful prayer of John 17, specifically verse 23: . . . May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. When Jesus [...]
