In These Moments






 Proverbs 30:5

Ephesians 6:11

Psalms 18:2


In my Prayer time one  night  I started to pray for my sister. The Lord stopped me  though before I could  get started  and said “she’s covered” I thought “was that just me?” So I tried again and the Lord said yet again   “she’s covered” He wouldn't let me pray for her.  Sounds strange right? He was making a point  So I told my sister the next day or so what  the Lord had told me. I  was thinking God meant that she was covered in prayer because she goes to a good  loving  church that  does pray for her. However, a few days after that she called me and said “remember the Lord told you I was covered?” She then began to tell me that a need had showed up but in that moment God had already covered it.  “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” Proverbs 30:5 KJV

 Things change from moment to moment so that’s why the Word of God tells us to be covered by  the full armour of God.  “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Ephesians 6:11 WEBUS

In these moments  when you need to be reminded that you are a child of God make sure you are wearing the  helmet of Salvation. 

In these  moments when you are trying to keep your heart pure stay behind that breastplate of Righteousness. 

In these  moments when  the enemies lies are hurling at you like darts towards a dartboard Secure the  belt of truth. 

In these moments when doubt tries to sneak in hide away behind your Shield of Faith 

In these moments  when you just need something to hang onto keep a firm grip on the Sword of the Spirit. That’s right use those Sugar Sticks!! 

In these moments when you are trying walk in the Light of Christ and not veer off Into the dark keep your feet dressed in the Readiness of the Gospel. After all the Gospel is the Good News that we are Covered by the blood of Jesus at the moment of Salvation and each time we call on His name. The armour of God is one of the ways that God protects and covers us. It’s not just a covering when we  have needs to be met it’s warfare! “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18:2 KJV

Don’t be moved by what you see put on God’s armour and wait on Him.  In faith believing call out to Him. Lord cover me… In these Moments

The Lion Tamer

                                    The Lion Tamer  James 4:7  1Peter 5:8   Luke 10:19   How many of you enjoy a fun trip to the zoo? They have all kinds of animals, big to small, docile to wild and all in between. Ever been at the Lion section and they roared and it made you jump back?! Sounds like something I’d do. Daniel had his own experience with the Big Cats but his were real life lions. You know… the eat you for dinner kind of Lions and they were not tamed or contained. Daniel was made governor over the King’s officials. Deep within the heart of these men was evilness. They plotted and schemed to get rid of him by creating a law that anyone who prayed to any god or person other than the King would be thrown in a den of lions. Although He knew this law was put into place, our friend Daniel continued to pray 3 times a day. It was his commitment to pray that gave h...

Box of Joy

Psalms 150:6 Psalm 147:1 John 16:24 Philippians 4:4 Chirp Chirp Chirp sings the sweet little bird in the tree. Each note of her lovely  song wafting in the breeze. She sings with Joy to God her creator. As Psalms 150 verse 6 proclaims  “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” Worship brings Joy. Singing alone isn’t worship by any means but the song that is recanting the soul’s love and longing for God  is music in His ears. As a pianist, keyboard player and songwriter I love this part of worship. “Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful.” Psalms 147:1 NKJV When we  open our mouth with sincere heart felt songs and adoration Joy leaps back to life.  Gratitude also  brings Joy. There is always something to be thankful for! doing dishes one night I found myself irritated at the amount of  dishes that I had to do but then I remembered to be thankful that I ...

Jesus and Coffee

Image
  Psalms 23:6 Psalms 23:1  Hebrews 6:19 Romans 5:5 Let’s talk about coffee for a second.  When I was a kid I  decided to try coffee because I wanted to drink it with my dad. Eww it was bitter! The majority of my adult life I just enjoyed the smell of  coffee but wanted no part of drinking it. My son, however, changed All of that a few years ago when he treated me to a  Frappe.  Now, I am part of the coffee loving world! Commenting to a family member about how much coffee goodness I had missed out on, I learned that my dad drank his with no sugar or creamer. No wonder it was bitter! I missed  out because I didn’t realize that coffee didn’t have to be bitter.  I want to share with you today that life doesn’t have to be bitter The 23rd Psalm speaks of God’s   faithfulness. It ends with verse 6 which says  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.” Notice thou...
