“I am sending you.” The message penetrated my heart in the middle of worship on Saturday afternoon during our annual women’s conference. An image of my friend who is battling end stage colon cancer flooded my mind. My lips stopped moving as everything faded, the presence of the Spirit commanding my attention. I knew without […]
Welcome back! I pray you are beginning to discover that Jesus longs to fill you with Himself. He wants more than simply to dwell within your heart; He wants to take it over. This week we will try to gain some understanding of how that takes place. Although this video is the longest session, its […]
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16 It was one of those frustrating days. I […]
