Belonging
Belonging can’t be your boss, or you will end up in circles where you’ll have to compromise who you are in Christ just to “belong.”
Permission Granted
Not everyone will understand what is in you. Some simply don’t know how to use what Jesus placed in you, and some frankly would rather keep you under their heel with an authority that is nothing more than a spirit of control.
Dare to Risk
What is it that we dumb down the God in us? That we understand we have the power of God residing in us yet keep all our requests shallow and manageable?
Following Jesus Only
When following Jesus, you mustn’t be moved by the opinions of others. You can’t fall to expectations or requests, and you certainly can’t do things based on how everyone else does them.
New Direction
While in prayer this morning I felt a strong unction that this holiday season is one to be deeply pondering “direction” with Jesus.
It’s Decision Time
I had a dream last night where I leaned into some hearts with one loving but piercing comment, “You need to decide if you’re really serious about ministry.”
Lost at Sea
Some of you feel lost in a vast ocean of fish. You’ve been swimming upstream, it seems like, and you feel like something’s missing. You’re still trying to find your kingdom space and place.
Foolish
I talk a lot about the kindness of God. I hope you never tire of it. He still amazes me daily.
Poetry and Ponderings by Shelly
Following Men
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
(John 10:27)
When Everyone Is Looking For You
When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
But He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth.”
