Seeing Beyond the Seen

In our fast-paced world, Christians are urged to use spiritual vision to perceive God’s work, especially during hardship. Via stories of Hagar and Elisha, the power of faith over sight is highlighted, showing God’s faithfulness and protection. We’re reminded to seek God’s guidance through prayer, expectancy, and fasting for transformative spiritual insight.

The focal point in God’s temple should be God Himself, most times visually aided by some form of symbolic or prophetic art. But what is the focal point in today’s church? It’s Us! There we loom on larger- than- life screens, with every knee drop and contorted facial expression captured in living color.
Forgiveness Fuels Flourishing

Forgiveness is about releasing bitterness and entrusting justice to God. “Vengeance is mine; I will repay,” says the Lord (Romans 12:19). Holding onto bitterness only imprisons us, while surrendering it brings freedom.

One might push back and say that in the culture of the world, civility is often sacrificed on the altar of pragmatic busyness. So much work needs to be done that there really isn’t much time left to engage in vapid pleasantries. And as long as everyone is at their work stations performing with a spirit of excellence, that’s all that really matters, isn’t it?
A Lesson in Grace: Judah’s Inspiring Example

Judah’s response reminded me that forgiveness is not just an ideal; it’s an action that has the power to soften hearts and inspire change. His simple words, “It’s okay, Mommy,” taught me that living with grace brings peace and spreads love to everyone around us. Judah’s example has left a lasting imprint on me, one I hope to emulate every day.

This strategic collaboration between the prophetess and the head-basher is a foreshadow, I believe, of the types of women God is raising and training for war in the Last Days: women who receive strategies from heaven, and women who implement those strategies with fierce bravery.
Overcoming the Fear of Man: Reflections on Turning 40

I can’t recount all my failures in this one article, but one of my greatest struggles was fear—fear about people’s opinions, my capabilities, and even God’s ability. For a long time, I lived as an unbelieving believer. But God enabled me to overcome the fear of man, which is a real snare.
From Death to Destiny: Embracing God’s Purpose for Our Lives
by Sandy Samuel Jerome | October 13, 2024 | Scribbles and Confessions | 0 Comments
There are moments, however, when we may unknowingly drift from that purpose, getting entangled in distractions—even those we might justify in the name of Jesus—only to discover we are inadvertently serving the enemy rather than our Lord. How do we break free from this entanglement and step into the destiny God has designed for us?
That Secret Space of Sorrow
by Anna D'souza | October 12, 2024 | AnnaLogue | 0 Comments
Lament redirects God’s gaze towards a broken and contrite heart, causing Him to take pause and to listen with compassion. Lament is not accusation, and it is certainly not an expression of faithless frustration with God’s methods and motives. It actually forms a deeper bond of intimacy between the lamenter and the Listener.

God has been faithful through every season, and I wouldn’t change a thing. My prayer is that the next generation will find contentment not in worldly success, but in walking closely with God, trusting Him with all their hearts.
