This is a post I wrote back in 2010. I would probably say a few things differently today, and I would probably add a whole lot more to it, but it’s still 100% true. I believed in generational curses for years but in 2009 I was challenged on my belief regarding them and studied it […]
We all want to flourish and do well in life, in our relationships, finances, health, joy and peace. And the good news is that it’s also God’s will for us to flourish. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God knows the plans that He’s got for us and that they are plans to prosper us and not […]
We all want to flourish in life. The dictionary defines flourish as to grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way, especially as the result of a, particularly favourable environment.

Many Christians do not flourish in life because they live under a cloud of condemnation. Many wrongly believe that the Holy Spirit is the one continually pointing out our wrongs and trying to get us to try harder and be better. But the Holy Spirit doesn’t show you how wrong you are. “Nevertheless I tell […]
We’re looking at how to live in and experience perfect peace and that doesn’t mean the absence of problems but an internal security that no matter what’s happening on the outside we have peace. Ephesians 6:15 refers to the gospel as the gospel of peace. The gospel is the good news message that unlocks peace […]

Matthew 11:28 New King James Version (NKJV)Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. If you’ve got relational stress, health issues or other problems that are causing you to worry or fear you can bring it before the Lord, right now, and He will give you […]
