John 17:1 says, “These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:” This particular Scripture hit me at a time when I was struggling with praying for two particular people in my life. Yes, you heard me…. I WAS STRUGGLING WITH PRAYING. I usually had no problem with praying for them as they called on me to do so on a regular basis. But this particular time in my life, in my walk, I just found myself ...
A few weeks before the New Year begun God dropped in my spirit, “Come closer to Me… TRY to love Me like I love you.” And like with most of the things God tells me, it has to marinate in my spirit before I finally catch the revelation.

I had never realized what the song was saying. You know how you can hear things and just not listen to it. And it’s strange because I actually ...
Genesis 11:5 reads, “But the Lord came down to see the city and tower which the sons of men had built.” This Scripture and a few others have been speaking to my heart recently. Specifically, ‘the Lord came down.’ There is nothing that God does not know but yet in His omniscience (all embracing knowledge) He makes it a point to come down and see what is going on.
