    How Remembering God Opens the Door for a Fresh Move

    Psalm 78:40-43 burns in my heart! “How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, and grieved Him in the desert! Yes, again and again they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember His power: the day when He redeemed them from the enemy, when He worked His signs in

    Soul Food Imparts Faith to Your Spirit and Health to Your Body

    “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers” (3 John 2, NKJV). To be successful in this life, in any area, we must have soul food, according to this Scripture. John is praying that we prosper in all things and be in health just

  • How Religion Twists the Role of Women in Ministry

    How Religion Twists the Role of Women in Ministry

    I’m always amazed as I travel and minister that I still have women coming to me saying they are not accepted because they are a woman! “My church won’t let me preach or teach or pray for people. They only let me serve in the kitchen or clean the church.” I always say, “You need

    How Do We Fight the Battle of the Bulge?

    It is obvious, looking around and seeing all the news about obesity, that there is something missing in the battle of the bulge. In today’s world we are bombarded in the news, books and billboards about obesity and its effects on our body and the high medical costs due to obesity. Diet books are a

  • How Your Desperation Moves God’s Heart

    How Your Desperation Moves God’s Heart

    Do you really understand the great love that God has for you? “And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience), and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us…” (1 John 4:16 amp). Do you have faith in His Love?  He has promised

  • Why Are You Slowly Killing Yourself?

    Why Are You Slowly Killing Yourself?

    I have spent many of my years fighting the battle of the bulge and trying every “new” quick-fix diet that came along! I was in total bondage to food and thinking about food all the time, going up and down the scale. My finances also felt the effect as I bought a new size trying

  • Learning to Live From the Inside Out

    Learning to Live From the Inside Out

    Change begins within. As a child of God we live from the inside out. We must become healthy on the inside before we are truly healthy on the outside. Phil. 2:12-13 says, “…Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do

  • Are You Suffering From the Cinderella Syndrome?

    Are You Suffering From the Cinderella Syndrome?

    I think we all know the story of Cinderella.  She was a beautiful woman with great potential, but she was bound by an environment that constantly put her down and tried to reduce her to nothing!  But one day she met her Prince.  One day the Prince knocked on her door. We know about the Ball,

  • Hebrews 11:23—The Key to Deliverance

    Hebrews 11:23—The Key to Deliverance

    She is mentioned by name only twice in the Bible, in Exodus 6:20 and Numbers 26:59. Most Bible readers don’t even know her name! The testimony of her life tells us it is not so much who you are but what you do with your life, how you meet life’s crises and responsibilities, that matter! Jochebed

  • How Peace Can Create a Miracle

    How Peace Can Create a Miracle

    “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). These are some of Jesus’ last words to His disciples. He knew what they were going to face in the world. You, as a child of God, can live in peace

  • Yes, Unforgiveness Can Literally Make You Sick

    Yes, Unforgiveness Can Literally Make You Sick

    Our bodies are truly amazing. Artists have tried to capture the beauty of the human body for years. The human body puzzles doctors and scientists, and every day they discover more truth about the human body. The human brain designed by God and placed in our head is far beyond medical comprehension. God designed a

    Denying the Flesh: Break the Habit of Reckless Eating

    “Break the Habit.” This was the word the Lord spoke to my heart as I earnestly sought Him for direction in my weight battle. I had a bad habit of eating the wrong food at the wrong time. I did not “think” about what I was eating or when I was eating. I ate to

    How Looking Back Can Stop God’s Will

    Fifteen words in the Old Testament share the story of Lot’s wife. This brief record of her life has placed her in the history of well-known women in the world. “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt” (Genesis 19:26 nkjv). In the New Testament we find three

    There Is a Power Greater Than Your Taste Buds

    Body image and weight issues are two of the most overwhelming issues a person deals with on a daily basis. We have a constant reminder on billboards, radio, TV and in the news that obesity is an epidemic in the United States. For those struggling with weight problems, much of this information just adds to

    How to Glorify God With Your Body as Well as Your Spirit

    Your body is unique. You were created by God, and you are not an accident. Your heavenly Father chose the day and the time your life would begin.  Psalm 139:13-16 tells us, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
