Elijah prayed 7 times for the drought to end, and on the seventh time, he saw his answer appear (1 Kings 18:42-43). Since we are encouraged to pray as Elijah did (Jas 5:16,17) I have no problem praying seven times for a miracle to happen. If I still don’t have my answer, then I may move on to using another type of prayer. Here are healing Scriptures to speak over yourself daily. 

Are you in a position of leadership? Don’t be quick to respond that this category doesn’t include you. Not all leaders have recognized offices and titles and a well-defined group of followers. You are a leader in some way whether you recognize it or not. Do you think of leadership in terms of hierarchies? I turned this upside down when I taught my disciples that he who would be the greatest among you should be the servant of all. Therefore do not be discouraged if you do not have a conventional position of leadership. If you let your light shine before men that they may glorify me, I will call you a good and faithful servant leader. 

Many of you have seen our previous blog post about how you can provide a contribution to CWG Ministries on every Amazon.com order you place.

His wrinkles betrayed his age but were laced with kindness and bordered eyes that reached out to love us.  I sat on the edge of my seat held captive by the words flowing from his mouth.  “Prophecy,” he said slowly walking across the podium, “is intended to comfort, edify and exhort.”  He shook his head and held up one hand.  “We will not be giving any ‘directive’ words rather our intention will be to reflec

Do you see the world around you infused with transcendent meaning? Do you see this in the ordinary actions you take every day? Would you like to? Animals eat because hunger drives them. You eat also, and can do it for the same reason, but do you think of food only as fuel? This is a common task that you can enrich with spiritual meaning. Do you consider the goodness of my creation and my promise of harvest when you partake of its fruits? Do you do so with gratitude and an acknowledgement of your continual dependence on me?

After my initial success of feeling my digestion improve greatly within a week of starting the Apple Cider Vinegar (a fermented food), I began researching Apple Cider Vinegar in earnest, doing some muscle testing on my body, and downloading books on the topic. Then I really got excited. Here's what I discovered!

Have you ever been through an audit? Most people would not volunteer for this and those who face them involuntarily do not wish to repeat the experience. Who would want someone else to delve into the details of their finances or any other area of life to be examined for errors? Yet I invite you to examine yourself, and to come and let us reason together, so I am inviting you to come to me for an audit. This isn’t just about your finances, but includes everything in your life. You may find this painful, but I still invite you to come voluntarily. He who falls on this stone will be broken, but not crushed, and I offer redemption in areas that need correction. 

“My name is Linda, I have experienced a miracle. Several years ago, in my quiet time, the Lord started calling me Narnie. I looked up the name and it means 'Beloved'." That statement begins a 10-page amazing testimony of God’s healing power in her life. In December of 2013, Linda’s doctor diagnosed her with shingles, and then in February of 2014, she was given the additional diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Her legs no longer worked. She used a cane. She could not go up and down stairs. She was desperate for help.

Do you think of Pilgrims as the original settlers of America? Do you understand that this is a general term for those on a spiritually motivated journey? Then do you see that this term could apply to you? My word makes references to sojourners and this is not a term reserved for a select few, but applies to all who are willing to venture forth. Are you? This isn’t as much a matter of time, speed, and distance as it is a state of mind to seek and keep on seeking in a world that is not really your home, where all things are impermanent. You have my promise that if you keep seeking those things that are above you will keep finding them. 

I commended my servant Job and cited him even to the adversary as a positive example. As a result he was tried at higher level of rigor. At the end of this he was full of arguments and questions. I restored him not by answering his questions, but by asking questions of him that he could not answer. Did this seem like a harsh interrogation to you? I did it in love to restore Job to a sense of mystery and wonder. Do you think of the Christian faith primarily in terms of structured argument, precept upon precept? This is valid but so is the concept of the mystery of the faith. I want you to be filled with awe and wonder too.
