Daily encouragement for Christians
Do you believe everything your brain tells you? Have you ever given your soul permission to call your brain out as a liar? My doctor sent me a video he wanted me to watch about fibromyalgia and afterward asked for my response. I said, “At first, I thought you were trying to tell me that […]
Woe to me! Have you ever come into God’s presence and had the reality of your sin hit you so hard that all you can do is say, “Woe is me!?” Isaiah knew that feeling well. He was given a vision of the Lord high upon his throne. “S’rafim [Seraphim] stood over him, each with […]
Are you afraid of death? If you have given your heart to Jesus you have no real reason to fear death because it will never touch you. You have eternal life–already. Your soul is bulletproof. It’s secured by the Gatekeeper–the Spirit that moved in when you said “Yes” to Christ. The Spirit is a homebody–He […]
Are you so connected to Jesus that you will blindly follow Him just by His voice? I long to be in the group He is describing when He says, “They never follow a stranger but will run away from him, because strangers’ voices are unfamiliar to them.” (John 10:5) I wish I could say that […]

Have you ever been asked to say a prayer out loud in a group? If you have are you one of the many who nervously says, “I don’t know how to pray out loud,”? I think most often it’s because we have heard others pray with words that seem to flow effortlessly, we compare ourselves […]
Do you believe that everyone who trusts in God will go to Heaven? Is it enough, can it be that simple–just believe in God? No, it isn’t enough, it isn’t that simple. Jesus said, “Don’t let yourselves be disturbed. Trust in God and trust in me.” (John 14:1) Some people stop at God, they skip […]
Have you ever felt that Satan was hindering you from completing a task for the Lord? Chances are yes if you ever put your heart into it. Many people, unfortunately, do not believe in things they cannot see or rationalize. The forces of the unseen, spiritual world cannot be overestimated. The battle is raging already […]
Do you have an addictive personality? I know many people who do but some don’t realize it. I once had a boss who told me that, “Christians just trade one addiction for another.” He preferred alcohol and another drug or two.
