I don’t know where you find yourself today, but I want to encourage you to not listen to the lies of the enemy that brings condemnation, fear, shame, and doubt. Jesus took the weight of all of that on the cross when he died. God knows exactly what you are going through and He is
November 1st is a bittersweet day for my family. 6 years ago, on this day, my husband was laid off from his job. He worked from home and was notified by his boss that he needed to go in for a “meeting”. On his way back home, he called me to say that he wanted

“A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.” This was quoted by Leonard Ravenhill, an author and evangelist from the 20th century. But it could have been said by a young man over 2000 years ago. This particular young man had an experience with God
Do you remember the days when you were in school and your class was promised the reward of a pizza party for terrific behavior? (What I wouldn’t do for a slice of NY pizza!) Maybe you were the lucky teenager whose parents said they would buy the latest video game if you earned great grades.
