The prayer list at Expectant Prayers is getting longer and longer. Everywhere we look we see the battles raging. Does anyone else see that we are living in the end times - the period of time right before the return of Christ? The devil knows his time is short so he is seeking out whomever he can …

Let GO!
Do you remember this old Spiritual? LET MY PEOPLE GO: When Israel was in Egypt’s land, Let My people go! Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Let My people go! Refrain: Go down, Moses, Way down in Egypt’s land; Tell old Pharaoh To let My people go! No more shall they in…
Opinions of Cleanliness
Different people have different opinions of what cleanliness is! For my little boys - they think if they have the dirty underwear and clothes off the floor and most of their things put away, then the room is clean. Never mind the waded up used tissues lying beside the trashcan, the matchbox car…
The "Go To"
I caught a few minutes of a television show the other night where a Hollywood star was being interviewed. He was in the middle of discussing the long battle he and his wife had with infertility and how the long journey toward parenthood changed him and his wife. After realizing there was a problem…
Going for the Gold
With all the talk of the Olympics lately, one can't help but think of this verse: "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14 My question today is, "Are we (Christians) living like champions?" …
The Sabbatical is Over
For my dear readers, thank you for your patience as we have been away for some time on what I would like to classify as a sabbatical. Hopefully now we can return to some normal blogs rather than ONLY our mini devotions that I have been posting, which can also be found on Facebook. If you hav…
Prayer Request
I am asking all that would to pray for my dad today. He is having his right leg bypass this morning. His left leg is still healing from a bypass just a month ago. It's been a lot for him to handle. We are praying for strength and endurance and against infection and complications - also for a spe…
All....
"And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:8Aren't we glad that He is Lord of all? Just reading this verse brings confidence and peace to everything in our li…
Paul and the Riot
In prayer this morning, the Lord lead me to Acts chapter 19, which gives account of the riot at Ephesus. Let's read starting with verse 23:
"About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in no little busines…
Are You One Who Serves?
"For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves." Luke 22:27There are some people who live life as if they are owed something - wishing to be served and treated as royalty. Jesus, …
Be Thankful for Gifts
"Receiving a gift is like getting a rare gemstone; any way you look at it, you see beauty refracted." Proverbs 17:8The Word says it's better to give than to receive, but there are many times when we are gifted things (not just material either) from others. Will we reflect the Lor…
Wise Words...
"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunities and freshness - in other pursuits than seeking God - will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and effor…
Don't Throw Away Your Confidence!
"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,"He who is coming will come and will not delay." Hebrews 10:35-37 Have you ever heard Go…

Father's Day 2009
"The living, the living—they praise You, as I am doing today; fathers tell their children about Your faithfulness." (Isaiah 38:19) Fathers have such an important role in society and in establishing the spiritual condition of their families- so why do so many feel insignificant? The enemy att…
Set Us Ablaze, Lord
"And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness." (Malachi 3:1-3) Feel like you're in the fire today? Allow the refiner to purify your heart and life…
Enemies and Toxic Relationships -(Part 5 - Final)
I am concerned for the lack of sensitivity toward the Spirit and failure to recognize when something could lead to our demise. This can be said for our personal lives as well as the church as a whole. We have become Laodicean in our nature and caterers to the flesh. Certain topics mi…
Enemies and Toxic Relationships (Part 4)
Yesterday we talked about the enemy of our souls and how he is the source and root of contention in our lives. We battle against his effects in the world daily. Now let’s bring this topic down a little closer to our personal lives. ENEMIES IN THE WORLD: There are pe…
Enemies and Toxic Relationships (3)
Let’s talk more about having enemies on a spiritual level. Many Symptoms, but One Underlying Cause: If you had a sickness or disease, you wouldn’t just want to treat the symptoms. You would want to find out the cause and be able to apply a remedy. You would wan…
