When I was commissioned by the Lord to start the women’s prayer group in 2016, I had little idea what I was supposed to do and what corporate prayer was all about. I also know why God didn’t allow me to have a co-leader despite my asking for the first two years. He knew that I would try to push the leadership responsibilities to my co-leader. He also knew that I wouldn’t take this work seriously during stressful times since it was a volunteer position after-all, from an earthly point of view. And I was still seeing many things from an earthly point of view and was very immature in my faith.

Hello friends. I was talking with a friend about Max Lucado and how much we love his books and teachings. He wrote many, many books. He just wrote a new book about the end times. As I was listening to his interview inCarey Nieuwhof’s podcast I was very surprised how open he was about his life, ministry challenges and his wife’s battle with depression. He also transitioned out of being the lead pastor of his mega church and talked about that challenge too. 

Hello friends. I am led to share with you Joyce Meyer’s book, Battlefield of the Mind. I have learned a lot from her. Growing up, her family was messed up BIG TIME. Her father was not only verbally abusive but he even sexually molested her regularly once she turned 13 years old. Her mom was so controlled by her husband that she turned the blind eye all through the years of abuse. Joyce Meyer was able to stop her father’s sick abuse once she left her parents’ home at age 18. She grew up at a time when people kept these kinds of family secrets within themselves. 

Hello friends. As news around the world are becoming more violent and dangerous, it reminds me of the book of Judges in the Bible. If you have never read this book, please read it. It’ll give you a heads up about humanity since history repeats itself. Here is an overview summary of the book of Judges: https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/judges/

Hello friends. When I was commissioned by the Lord to set up an intercessory prayer group at my church in 2016, I had very little idea of what that entailed. One key thing that I learned about intercession is that my heart has to be clear of unforgiveness and offense. Unforgiveness is a believer’s “kryptonite” (like in the movie Superman).

Hello friends. Recently I’ve been listening to Keith Green songs again. His lyrics and melodies never get old for me. If you never heard his songs before please check them out. I wrote a short piece about him in 2022 – https://livinglifewithjesus.com/2022/03/12/documentary-on-the-revivals-of-the-greater-uk-ukraine-russia-news-pray-point-to-consider-on-putin-prayer-for-ukrainian-families-all-hands-on-deck-🙏/

Hello friends. Since 2016, I seek the Lord about my new “word of the year” with a Bible verse attached to my word. Since I follow the academic year, I seek my word during the summer months. 

I’ve read through the Holy Bible about 4 or 5 times in the last 13 years. Everytime I come to the book of Leviticus, I quietly groan because it’s really boring to me. It’s about rules and regulations. Since I’m not being tested on it, I generally skim through the rules. My brain would literally say “blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…” as I’m skimming through. 

Hello everyone. This is an awesome teaching video that Francis Chan’s ministry produced about Israel. It’s an hour long and so worth watching so that you can understand the lateness of the hour that we are living in today.

I’ve learned a lot from Pastor Francis Chan last 13 years. You cannot go wrong with his teachings. I especially was impacted by this visual demonstration on the brevity of our lives on earth compared to eternity. Please watch this short 5 minute video clip:
