Soon after my wife and I purchased our first home, I tilled the entire backyard. It was a pretty good size. “You tilled the ENTIRE backyard,” my wife asked. “Well, yeah,” I said, “Now I won’t have to mow it.” “But you’ll have to weed it,” she quipped right back. And so amidst a lot of weeding over the years, I come to find there are quite a few parallels to taking care of a garden and life with God. When I was really young my dad had kept a garden, mostly to keep the grocery

With lovely flowers strown, But one straight, narrow pathway That was not overgrown. And to this beauteous garden He brought mankind to live, And said: ‘To you, my children, These lovely flowers I give. Prune ye my vines and fig trees, With care my flowerets tend, But keep the pathway open Your home is at the end.’ Then came another master, Who did not love mankind , And planted on the pathway Gold flowers for them to find. And mankind saw the bright flowers, That, glitt’ri

On January 20, 1961, in his inaugural address, our 35th president, John F. Kennedy, delivered this unforgettable charge: "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." The president's speech reminds us that we are to live as contributors to society, not just consumers. As Believers, one of the greatest things we can do for our country is to pray. Paul wrote to his spiritual son, Timothy: "I urge, then, first of al

This Fourth of July, America commemorates its “Supercentennial” anniversary—marking 250 years of being one nation under God. Throughout Scripture, the Lord often instructs His people to remember His acts of salvation, faithfulness, and provision (see Deuteronomy 4:9; Psalm 77:11). As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I believe it is only fitting for us to reflect on the blessings of America’s legacy and the sacrifices that made those blessings possible. Two and a half ce

The Black Robed Regiment The Black Robed Regiment was the name that the British placed on the courageous and patriotic American clergy during the Founding Era (a backhanded reference to the black robes they wore).1 Significantly, the British blamed the Black Regiment for American Independence,2 and rightfully so, for modern historians have documented that: There is not a right asserted in the Declaration of Independence which had not been discussed by the New England clergy b

This morning I heard the Lord thundering over many, 'RECLAIM YOUR SPACE.' As I heard the Lord speaking these words, I heard the Lord say: 'You must REMAIN and RECLAIM. You will NOT be chased out of your land.' As the Lord spoke these words, I felt such a strong sense from the Lord's heart again of the word 'ADVANCE.' This IS the time where the Lord is speaking and declaring 'ADVANCEMENT' over His people. I could feel so much pressure against so many right now to RUN. I have b

I was engaged in prayer, seeking guidance on how I could be a blessing to those around me, when suddenly, the Lord spoke to me in a profound and unmistakable way. He said, "Theresa, My garden is growing." This statement resonated within me, igniting a sense of hope and purpose. As seelings emerge in my own garden I am ignited by this word. It became clear that the Lord was revealing a divine truth about the current spiritual climate here in the states. People are awakening

There’s a deception storm heating up right now & this is what you need to know… UFOs, aliens, and a new kind of virus? Hmmm… get ready because that’s just the warm up to what we are going to see between now and the end of the year. For the last few months the Lord has been giving me dream after dream, warning me about a coming propaganda storm of distraction, one that was going to come in many different ways on a global scale in the world and in the church.

Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." John 12:24 NIV In the Spirit, I am hearing a sound I have never heard before. It's a sound coming from seeds that God has planted in and through us that have died inside rebellious hearts. There has been a long season when these seeds produced nothing visible. These seeds were silenced by death. But in spite of death, these seed
