Meeting today with my dear spiritual sister, Patti Mariano, to finalize our arrangements for our upcoming trip to Israel in November. This time last year we were on our way to minister in Russia. It was quite an experience to share! Now we are wondering what the Lord has in store for us in Israel!
Are We Diluting Our Faith?
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth
Have We Lost the Fear of God?
Dear Child,
If you truly fear Me it will set you free! not punish you, because that fear will give you the courage to let go, the motivation to walk away from that which holds you in bondage. It is sin that is the slave master, not the fear of my presence and facing me as you come to fellowship with me.
As you reverently fear me, child, you will walk uprightly and have no reason to lack boldness and confidence to come into my presence.
Thus saith Papa
Surely the fear of God is the motivation to cause us to change our ways, not only for our own good but for the good of our children!
Jer 32:39-40 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.
2 Corinthians 7:1 Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
Where we find a lack of the fear of God we also find a lack of holiness.
CHALLENGE: Have we lost a reverent fear and respect for God’s holiness in our lives and churches? Has society lost respect and fear of all earthly authority because the church has lost respect and fear for God’s authority? If the church is God’s light in the world surely we lead the way for the world!

You Are A Unique Creation Of Almighty God!
As the mother of identical twin daughters I am amazed that even they, although created identical as you can see from the photo, have different finger prints. You are so rare and precious in His sight you are the only one like you that He made. Your finger prints are the Artist’s stamp and signature to prove that you are the only one. When only one of a work of art is created it makes it so much more special and valuable. You are a limited edition of only one of you!
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
His Presence
My presence is not found in a place but rather My presence is displayed in an attitude of love that flows from the throne room of the heart
