I love to meditate upon Psalm 91 especially the first verse. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. As I ask the Lord about the secret place, I write the following: It is a hiding place, a place where no one knows you are there except the Lord. Jesus is your hiding place, the place where you can run into and be safe. We are to abide in Him always. He is your safe and hidden place where the enemy cannot touch you without the Lord allowing it.
There are many ways to prove the existence of God, but let's draw our attention to the animal kingdom, of which insects are a part. There are so many species we could highlight, and all have exceptional characteristics. Many possess masterfully designed defense systems, the ability to thrive in hostile environments, precise navigation abilities and amazing complexities within their bodies. The evidence of design is overwhelming!
Imagine moving from a Christian business to a Kingdom business. The former emphasizes the good character and the do-this list to maintain the standing and standards (The conformity is not particularly inspiring). A Kingdom business isn't focused as much on what you are doing, more on what Father is doing and whether we are we doing it with him? It feels like a movement motivated by prophetic purpose, passion, and people! Somehow God is working with us, instead of just watching from Heaven, waiting for the next mistake.
Faith has always been the driving force behind extraordinary accomplishments. One of the most compelling examples of unwavering faith is Abraham, the friend of God. His journey was a testament to what it means to trust in divine promises, even when circumstances seemed impossible. However, his story demonstrates a fundamental truth at work—faith is not merely a spiritual act but a decision that requires mastery over the soul man.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players…" William Shakespeare
How fatalistic Shakespeare's statement sounds. Are we merely just players acting out on the stage of life as if we had no say–as if we had no part to play–as if life just happens to us? Don't get me wrong. Life does happen to all of us. And yet, according to John 10:10 Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 In Psalm 109, David sets an incredible example. He talks about how his enemy hates, falsely accuses, and fights him without cause, but his reaction to this is inspirational. He says, "But I give myself to prayer." In Hebrew, this phrase is translated as "But I am prayer."
In the coming year, we will experience God in ways that will transform our environment, communities, and nation. It is my belief that God is up to some great things in the body of Christ. There have been many changes in America and throughout the world, but God will be glorified in and through all of them. El Shaddai will appear in the lives of those who stay near him, walk in faith, and remain strong in the study of God's Word in this year, according to the Lord.
The Lord recently reminded me of a prophetic dream that I had several years ago which I had recorded in my journal. As we transition into this new year, and as time moves on, expect a dramatic overhaul in the natural world, as well as an unprecedented outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the supernatural realm. I don't believe that this dream was limited to its original time frame, because prophetic dreams are not bound by time zones. Just like prophetic words, some (but not all) are timeless, and continue to unfold throughout the years.
Life is a journey, filled with moments that shape us, challenge us, and remind us of God's presence. Along this path, we experience profound encounters with grace—times when we clearly see God's hand at work, receive divine direction, or undergo deep personal transformation. These moments are what we call spiritual markers—signposts that remind us of where we've been and how far we've come in our faith journey.
Leadership is about justice and justice is using that leadership (influence) for the good of others. This has been my leadership methodology for years and it has been tested in the fire! Years ago, I was grieving over being taken advantage of over and over again. I hurt because I was surrounded by takers who were self-absorbed in their own needs and never genuinely caring for me. I would trust their words of loyalty, commitment, and partnership until I was slapped in the face with sudden, heartbreaking betrayals.
