Study To Be Quiet

Sometime ago I felt impressed that I needed to do a wordless fast. In other words, take a vow of silence for a season.  I went to my husband with the idea and, surprisingly, he was not on board with the idea at all... so I waited.  I didn't say anything else about it but in my early morning prayer time I would get these inklings that I was going to be required to give up words for a time. Then, out of the blue, about a month later, my husband came to me and said "Shelly, you know that vow of silence thing you were talking about doing, tell me about it."  I really didn't know what to tell him other than I felt like I was suppose to do one.  I have never done this nor have I ever talked to anyone that has.  I did, however, feel like the Lord wanted to teach me something through the process and I shared those feelings with my husband.  After our conversation he felt comfortable enough to agree that when I felt like it was time, he would support...

How Can A Christian Deal With Besetting Sins?

I was awakened this morning very early with the Mount of Olives on my mind. Strange huh?  I thought so.  I don't normally think in these terms, this is my husband's department!  A friend of mine used to say, "you become like the company you keep".  Anyway... Olivet is made up of four peaks, Mount of Galilee, Mount of Ascension, Mount of the Prophets, and Mount of Corruption (Solomon's groves)  and is situated on the east side of Jerusalem outside of the Eastern Gate just beyond the Kidron Valley.  Now when Jesus returns to this earth the Bible says He is going to descend onto the Mt. of Olives and that when His feet touch that mountain, it will give way and split in two.  (Zechariah 14:4) Can you just imagine that Mount of Corruption giving way beneath the almighty weight of His glory!  Oh My!  Lift up ye heads oh ye gates, and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory will come in!.  But listen to this!  Remem...

Blessed Are The #Unoffended !

Have you noticed that we live in an offended world? People are defensive and constantly offended. Suing each other at the drop of a hat. Not speaking for years at a time. I lived an offended life for a long time. Over the years different things in my life and in the ministry had caused great offense to build up in my life. One day the Lord said to me... your bo dy is breaking down because of offense! What? I'm not offended Lord! I had lived with my offense for so long it had become part of my being and it was eating away at my spirit, my mind and my body. Slowly killing me and I was totally unaware that it had gotten "that bad". I guess I had become the proverbial frog in boiling water and had it not been for His great mercy and compassion I would have eventually died a bitter, unhappy, offended "Christian". He said to me. Shelly, your body was not made to hold offense. You were created in my image and I didn't create a place...

That I May Know Him

That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,... Philippians 3:10  And when He brings out His own sheep, He goes before them; and the sheep follow Him, for they  know   His voice.  John 10:4 But if, from there, you seek the LORD your God, you will find him, if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.   Deut. 4:29 As I was praying about this first blog the Holy Spirit whispered the word    impervious     to me.  He was letting me know that as I write this blog, to pray for those of you that will read these words, that the enemy will not cause you to be impervious to what He is saying to you today.    Our God, the Ancient of Days, is a right now God.  Right now He knows where you are.   Right now He knows what you are going through and Right now He cares about you!  Isaiah 55:2b says, ...let your ...
