For who has known the mind of the Lord? Who will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 This concept is kinda out there. Most things in the Kingdom of God are. But, before you go I want you to fully understand what is available to you in Christ. You … Continue reading
Day Three. Before You Go…
Immeasurably More. What a concept, right? I mean, we understand “measurements”. I know how to measure a cup of water or rice. I understand how to weigh flour on a scale. I can use a ruler or a measuring tape for inches and feet. But immeasurably more? This is what God says He wants to … Continue reading
Day Two. Before You Go…
You’ve got a lot to think about these days, don’t you? Life is a constant fire hydrant of information, decisions, deadlines, and to-dos! I just want you to first know, I see you. You are doing great.

#iRevAdvent: Day 19
Martha, Martha, you are worried, bothered and anxious about so many things; but only one thing is necessary… Luke 10:41-42 AMP Disturbed. Divided. Disquieted. Take note of these definitions depicting Martha’s condition. I can’t imagine three words describing this year any better. The enemy has worked OVERTIME the past 12 months to disturb and divide us, leaving us with disquieted … Continue reading
#iRevAdvent: Day 18
But the Lord said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details…” Luke 10:41 Just sit for another moment and read Jesus’ response to Martha. Don’t miss this moment.
