“For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.” (Habakkuk 2:3 AMPC) An appointment is a fixed time of meeting or occasion where something was previously planned to occur at that particular time, date, and place. We know from the Bible that God is beyond time…..seeing as He created it, (Genesis 1:31, Psalm 90:2, Psalm 93:2, Psalm 102:24-27, Isaiah 57:15) yet He appoints times in the lifespan of humanity and faithfully keeps His appointments (Leviticus 23:1, Ephesians 1:4, 1 Peter 1:20, 2 Timothy 1:9). Often, we do not understand the “how,” “what,” “when,” or “where” in which these appointments are brought to fruition, but they come all the same. Case in point: I came home this past Tuesday to a wonderful surprise in my backyard. One of my rose bushes had produced a full ...

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2) Let’s talk insects. Specifically, butterflies. Most insects go through a transformation in their life cycle called METAMORPHOSIS. Metamorphosis is defined as: -           the process of transformation from an immature form to an adult form. -           a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means. This process is how you get a butterfly from a caterpillar. You go from having a creature that spends its life crawling on the ground to having a creature that ...

During a recent bout of anemia, I received a revelation from the Lord about the time leading up to and the time during His crucifixion. As my body became very weak, I began to envision the suffering of Jesus Christ as He lost tremendous amounts of blood during His beating and crucifixion. I began to think about what He would have felt in His body and in His mind. Could you imagine the physical weakness, the mental and psychological impairment He must have endured as blood poured out of His body without ceasing? There was no time to heal from the wounds. They came one after another, after another, after another….. His body endured trauma on an extreme scale. His heart rate would have been erratic as it tried to keep His body alive. His vision and thoughts would have been blurry as His brain lacked the necessary oxygen required to function properly. His muscles would have ached and burned as they screamed out for sustenance. God Himself said that the life of the flesh is in t...

About a week ago, the Bradford Pear trees in our city began blooming. It is one of my favorite sights after a long harsh winter. It reminds me that though things can look dead on the surface, there is still life in them. But that is another message for another day! We have a Bradford Pear tree in front of our house and it is the centerpiece of the yard. As a matter of fact, this tree was one of the reasons why we bought our house. What I did not know when we bought the house was that our tree is a little different than the many other Bradford Pear trees in the neighborhood. Our tree is a late bloomer. It is always the last to bloom in spring and the last to change its leaves in the fall. To some people this may seem frustrating or even undesirable, but I love it. To me it is just perfect and so fits with me and my daughter. I, myself am a late bloomer, only just now coming into my own in my 30’s. I believe my daughter is very similar in this regard as well. ...

“…but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength].” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 AMP) This morning as I came before the LORD, I came in a whole new level of brokenness. Not a brokenness due to current circumstances or even due to the attacks of the enemy (though there have been many of both lately). Rather, it’s a brokenness born out of a deeper revelation that I am totally reliant on ...

“My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away! “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.”” (Song of Songs 2:10-14) For many years I could not read the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) without feeling totally awkward and uncomfortable. The intimate language and scenery was just too much for me to handle and I for sure could not accept its symbolism of the love between Jesus (the Beloved – the Bridegroom) and His Church (the Shulamite – the Bride). But oh, what can happen in a year’s time! For me, 2017 will...
