Give Respect To Get RespectWe serve a God who loves, forgives and nurtures. But in return he asks that we show proper respect. He demands our best and encourages us to have faith. He created us in his image so that his word can be magnified. God states in Isaiah 55:8, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither or your ways are my ways. 55:9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. His word does not leave his mouth to come back empty, but will accomplish what he set out to accomplish. What God has in place for you should be looked upon in reverence, so that you can receive the full effect of what God has in store for you. With Gods word we gain respect.

Searching in Prescott ArizonaMany years ago, while visiting Sedona Arizona, I had to opportunity to drive to Prescott, a city just a few miles from the magical Verde Valley. At the time I was experiencing a transformation of my spiritual beliefs and approaching a turning point in my life. I had begun to question many of my previous spiritual and religious beliefs, and I was also contemplating where to spend the rest of my life.
The Testimony Of Jesus Is The Spirit Of ProphecyThe testimony of Jesus is us ‘declaring’ what Jesus has done and get in agreement with what He said. It is a spirit of prophecy that changes our atmosphere/environment and releases the power of God.
Moose Do Exist! And So Does Unconditional Love!When you open your eyes in the morning; what is your first thought? Is it of the day ahead?

God describes his relationship to us as a Potter. We are the clay. Like clay we can be moldable, or we can become hard. The choice is ours.
