From the Muck to the Mighty; My Journey with Jesus

I heard the Lord say “It’s time to build”. Many of us across the body of Christ have had the same stirring in the spirit. Some are building ministries, some building kingdom business, some are building kingdom families and all are building foundations for Christ centered lives.  Then I heard the Lord warn sternly that unless He builds the house we Labor in vain.  Imagine building a new house. You scope out the property, you hire custom builders, and subcontractors and you watch them get to work.  Now imagine as soon as that first brick is laid for the foundation some jerk coming and kicking it out of the way. Imagine as soon as you try to frame up those 2x4’s for the walls and you’re pulling the trigger on the nail gun that someone slaps it clean out of your hands.  Imagine putting in a window and as your leveling it up, someone coming along and pushing it out of the frame sending it crashing to the ground below.  That’s how much the enemy doesn’t want you to bu...

What was I reaching for? My arms were frantically reaching out in every direction, grasping for security. Grasping for the world, grasping for safety.

  Praise Report!!! Most of you that have been following my blog for years, know how I am. You see what the Lord is doing in my life and how He interacts with me. You now that I am extremely transparent and I get excited sharing the details of this journey with you, no holds barred. If you read my blog yesterday, you know what I was dealing with. The heaviness, the stuff in the house etc. Yesterday, I had enough. I left the house for work and left Regis with some oil, some house cleansing prayers and let him go through the house.  When I got home we prayed together but before we prayed, I had asked the Lord to reveal anything to us that may need dealt with. Regis starts to tell me how the Lord brought to his mind this girl he dated a while back. I guess she was into witchcraft and had all kinds of dark things around her home. One day she asked him if he would be willing to cut himself while she cut herself and do a blood ritual together. He declined her offer praise the Lord, b...
