Mercy Because of Covenant

  At the end of a recent class, the instructor (Ap. Barbara Wentroble) had a us spend a period of time praying and decreeing. Something I believe Holy Spirit showed me during that time was that the children of Israel didn’t really deserve for God to free them from Egyptian bondage. What I felt like He said to me was that the children of Israel were not righteous. God did not deliver them because of their righteousness. He delivered them because they were His covenant people and they were crying out to Him because of the oppression. At the time I heard that, I was thinking about the covenants that were made with God at the founding of this country. I was thinking about the one made at Cape Henry in 1607. And then the first thing George Washington did when he was sworn in as the first president was to pray and dedicate this nation to God. When the first Congress opened their first session the very first thing they did was the same. People can try to rewrite history, but God d...

Intentional, Focused, Fearless

  I first heard Holy Spirit speak these three words to me sometime mid-January.   I knew they were specific direction for 2023.   Initially, I assumed they were just for me, personally.   That changed on the final afternoon of January (1/31/23).   As Holy Spirit gave me an almost instant download to their application, I realized this was something I needed to share. Intentional First, I want to say that I have heard others mention this word with respect to our actions this year.   However, it was not just this one word that I heard.   It was the first of a 3-part directive.   That said, we need to understand what this word means.   Per Merriam Webster’s online Unabridged Dictionary, the word “intentional” means to be “done by intention or design.” [1]   It is not extremely helpful when the definition of a word contains a different form of the same word.   So, I dug further.   “Intention” is defined as “an action of intend...
