Multiple faith leaders have reminded us that, as believers, the current crisis should not surprise us. Yet many still ask why this plague has occurred. “All we have to do is read Matthew 24, and we find out that Jesus told us there would be plagues, there would be pestilences,” revivalist, prayer leader and author

We live in times when financial freedom and spending capacity have become the key determinants of the quality of life we experience daily. This has effected a dramatic change in our view of life and has caused a redirection of our goals and purposes. In the wake of a pandemic that’s sweeping the whole world,

Have you heard the African proverb that says, “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito”? Or perhaps you recall the story of Mary Mallon, nicknamed Typhoid Mary. She was documented as the individual who caused the New York typhoid fever epidemic in 1906. Then

Loneliness is simply feeling as if no one sincerely cares about you or is interested in your life beyond surface interactions. It is assuming that nobody desires to listen to your thoughts or quietly understand what is going on in the recesses of your heart. Loneliness might be identified as believing that even if you

The Jezebel spirit is something many people have heard of but don’t understand. Author and prophetic evangelist Jennifer Eivaz unpacks this evil entity in her latest podcast series. “We always look at certain kinds of women … and we presume they have a spirit of Jezebel if they’re a little too strong in their personality,

COVID-19 has impacted us all in different ways. Businesses are closing, workers are being laid off, people are home alone experiencing loneliness and depression, many are afraid and some have even lost their lives. It would be irresponsible to pretend this pandemic is in any way a “blessing in disguise.” However, one life-changing thing that

Raise your hand if you like labeled bins, if you like your children to look put together, and if you run around like a crazy person shoving clothes and toys in closets when you find out someone is unexpectedly stopping by. You can’t see my hand, but it’s high and lifted up, sister. I am

An unseen enemy has paralyzed our world. Most of us can’t see COVID-19, but we see the results. The possibilities and potential for harm. We see what the spirit of fear has done in our nations and communities. In our minds and hearts. But the reality is that most people aren’t really afraid of a

Jesus’ longest recorded conversation was with an unnamed woman at a well in Samaria. She’s any of us who has ever felt less than or left out. Marginalized or mocked. Discriminated against or deemed unworthy. When she encountered Jesus, she left her water jar and bravely shared her story so an entire community could meet

It’s in the Bible at Mark 2:12. We’ve said that phrase for a long time: “We never saw anything like this.” Each time major disasters and disruptions happen in our personal lives and in the world, the words come tumbling out of our mouths. God sent the flood, held back the Red Sea for the

This is such a unique time in which we are living. No one could have foreseen this global COVID-19 pandemic nor the ripple effect on economies and the daily life of people across the globe. The spread of the coronavirus and all of the related shutdowns have brought us to a stark dichotomy. While we

During this time where the entire world is fearful and panicky due to COVID-19, Lisa Bevere says it’s the perfect opportunity for the church to show what it is made of—the strength of the Lord. Co-founder of Messenger International Ministries along with her husband, John, Bevere says she believes God is shaking the church during

We are living in unprecedented times in our global history. With illness and economic pressures ravishing the globe, it’s easy to lose hope. Life feels like a wilderness. In Numbers 21, we find an interesting story that I feel has profound lessons for us in this hour in our history. The children of Israel had

“And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up” (1 Peter 5:10, TPT). The past week,

If fear has gripped your soul, perhaps it would be beneficial to remind yourself that you are loved completely, fully and eternally by the one who knows you the very best! “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” (Rom.
