C. I. S.
Psalm 126:1-2 “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the nations, The Lord hath done great things for them.” (KJV, emphasis added)
As you experience The Turning Point of your destiny, you experience a Change In Direction, a Change In Atmosphere, and a Change In Focus. When something is before you, Read the rest of this entry
Why Whisper?
Job 4:12 “A word came to me in secret—a mere whisper of a word, but I heard it clearly.” (MSG)
Beginning today, we will be diving into how God began to engage with Elijah. Read the rest of this entry
Cultivate
Psalm 27:8 “When You said, “Seek My face [in prayer, require My presence as your greatest need],” my heart said to You, “Your face, O Lord, I will seek [on the authority of Your word].” (AMP)
We will kick off today’s devotional with our final thought from yesterday which is, the places you are present determine the presence you carry. If you want to carry light, the presence of God which you will carry in the Name of Jesus, you need to spend time with light. Read the rest of this entry
Secrets, II
Luke 3:21 “Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened” (KJV, emphasis added)
These things I am teaching you, by the grace of God, I did not read it in any book. I did not learn it from anyone. God sat me down and explained principles and laws to me. However, it is possible for God to tell different things to different people at different times and He is still God. Read the rest of this entry

Ps.50:23 “… giving thanks is a sacrifice that truly honours me.” (emphasis added)

Alone vs. Lonely
Luke 1:80 “John grew up and became strong in spirit. And he lived in the wilderness until he began his public ministry to Israel.”

Ps.30:11-12 “You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I’m about to burst with song; I can’t keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can’t thank you enough.” (MSG)
