Prayer & Angels

Prayer & Angels

“For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 1 Peter 3:12 Stuff happens when we pray!  If we could draw back the spiritual veil, our jaws would drop to see God commissioning His angels to action for us! “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit...

In My Distress

In My Distress

“In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help, and you listened to my cry.” Jonah 2:2 Jesus Whispers: Your troubles are safe in My ears.  I don’t always answer the way you expect, but I answer.  When people hurt you, don’t carry the burden of judge and jury.  That’s my job.  I’m the only who sees...

Trust I Must

My Mac time capsule/wireless router overheated to an early death, so I don’t know when I’ll be able to post this.  I don’t know if I’ll get the device working again. Lord, help.  All my written words transfer through our wireless connection!  I feel disconnected from the source.
