Just Wanna Share This Message with you, My Friend…
I'm halfway done with my continuation of Crisis Praying. I just read this email, and my soul trembled at this simple story... There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her boyfriend. He was always there for...
Crisis Praying
Faith begins when man’s power ends. Faith only comes by hearing the Word of God. How blessed we are to be able to open up our Bibles and read the Word! I believe God’s Spirit gives us complete instructions in the Word on how to pray when we find ourselves stuck in the...
Serenity Prayer for the Chronically Ill
Here is something I'd like to share with you. I didn't write this, but they could've been my words. I'm not going to post the entire article here because it's longer than one of my usual posts, but it's definitely worth the read... especially if you or someone you...
"Go Your Way…"
"Go your way and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." Matthew 8: 13 Do you remember these words Jesus spoke to the centurion? This is a scripture I constantly stand on. This picture is framed, and hanging on my bathroom wall. I claim these words...
God's Opinion is what Counts!
“It’s falling on deaf ears!” “Stop wasting your time.” "Your efforts are meaningless.” "Why bother?” Do these statements sound at all familiar? Many times these thoughts creep up on me. These are nothing but lies from the pit! The enemy wants nothing more than to...
Habakkuk… Struggle, Doubt AND Hope!
Habakkuk was a man who sought answers. He asked tough questions because what he saw going on was very troubling to him. Habakkuk saw a dying world, and it broke his heart. That brings up a good question... as a follower of Christ, are you grieved over the things that...
How God Shapes and Refines Us for His Use…
When God wants to drill a man, And thrill a man, And skill a man; When God wants to mold a man To play the noblest part, When He yearns with all His heart To create so great and bold a man That all the world shall be amazed, Watch His methods, watch His ways- How He...
How 'Bout It… Another Fulfilled Prophecy!
"Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman. And I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him, rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.” (NKJV) “I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in...
Hear This… Really Hear This!

Nahum… Continuing to Walk with the Minor Prophets
Nahum September 25, 2009 Wisdom, again is shouting! Are you listening? I beg you… don’t insist on learning from personal experience; instead, learn the lessons history has already taught. I’m talking about humility. Above everything, surrender and put your trust in...
Finishing the Book of Micah
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel will come from you, one whose origins are from the distant past. And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength, in the majesty of the name of...
Visions… Micah
I said, “Listen, you leaders of Israel! You are supposed to know right from wrong, but you are the very ones who hate good and love evil. You skin my people alive and tear the flesh from their bones. Yes, you eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin, and break...
"Selling" your Soul
Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give you if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For...
Micah… a Love/Hate Relationship?
God is so good! We are starting the book of Micah today… WooHoo! Think about how the words “Love” and “Hate” have become so casual in today’s world. The relaxed, laid-back use of these two words has more or less emptied them of their true meaning. I don’t think it’s...
Are You "Locked Up?"
“Before this faith came, we were held prisoners, locked up until faith should be revealed.” Galatians 3: 23 KJV The Bible tells us that God gave people His law in the Old Testament so they could see how utterly hopeless it was to live up to God’s holy standards. Not...
A Few Posts About Jonah…
In our walk with the minor prophets, we've come to Jonah. A great story! Here are three posts written about Jonah from the PERSEVERE archives... http://www.lorilaws.com/2008/09/jonah.html http://www.lorilaws.com/2008/09/more-jonah-taking-god-for-granted.html...
Obadiah
Obadiah is a great book because it gives us a glimpse of the way God protects His children. God judges those who harm His people. In the shortest book of the Old Testament, Obadiah gives God’s message to the Edomites – the descendants of Esau. Just like their founding...
