Prayer
God, I thank You for all the things that are going right in my life right now. I thank You for Your Son and I thank You for Your Salvation. My prayer is that You will help me to trust You to seek out Your will for my life and to do those things that help me come closer to You.

Think deep when it comes to prayer.
God wants us to pray without ceasing, but what do we pray about? And how do we pray correctly? We often pray for what we see, instead of digging deeper and praying for the root of an issue. God wants us to dig deeper. For instance, I was recently praying for someone to accomplish something that I knew they needed to do, but God showed me that I needed to pray for them to develop discipline because...

The Influence of Demons
A great article from SimplyHeavenlyFood about the demons and their influence on humans:
The Bible gives some examples of people possessed or influenced by demons. From these examples we can find some symptoms of demonic influence and gain insight as to how a demon possesses someone. Here are some of the biblical passages: Matthew 9:32-33; 12:22; 17:18; Mark 5:1-20; 7:26-30; Luke 4:33-36; Luke...

Do Demons Exist?
A great article from SimplyHeavenlyFood about the existence of demons:
Is there such a thing as ghosts? The answer to this question depends on what precisely is meant by the term “ghosts.” If the term means “spirit beings,” the answer is a qualified “yes.” If the term means “spirits of people who have died,” the answer is “no.” The Bible makes it abundantly clear that there are spirit beings,...

Stand still before the Lord
Often in our lives, we take action naturally and do little or nothing spiritually. I struggle with this constantly. I get so focused on my control and what I can do about a difficult situation, that as a result, I don’t give it up to God like He asks us to. When I do this, I find that I end up struggling longer and harder than I would have if I would have just been patient and waited for God...

Listen for Peace.
If you lose peace when you do or say something, God is speaking to you. One of the ways He lets us know how He feels about what we are doing is by either giving peace as approval or withdrawing it as disapproval. Anytime we lose our peace, we must stop and be sensitive to what God is saying to us.
Peace serves as a compass in our hearts, pointing us in the right direction.
We must follow peace.

Turn to God first.
Many times, instead of turning to Him in prayer, we turn to other people, mistakenly thinking that telling them all about what happened will comfort us, but it doesn’t.
Talking about something that hurts us only stirs up the pain in our emotions and makes it more difficult to overcome. This is one of my personal struggles: I tend to do everything I can think of before turning to God, and...

God Speaks Through Promptings
Little nudges or promptings from the Holy Spirit are one of the ways God speaks to us.
Sometimes God’s promptings are very faint and menial, like picking up a piece of trash on the side of the road, or helping someone gather up their coins that just dropped on the floor. Other times, His promptings can be powerful and intense.
There was a point in my life where I was recently prompted by the...
