Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Stirring Up Your Spiritual Gifts
You have a gift, and God expects you to use it. With Mary and Karen along side me this morning, we prayed that God would help you identify, activate and stir up your spiritual gifts. I believe many eyes opened. Click the headline to access the recording.

5 Ways God Speaks to His People
God is almost always speaking to us. If we aren't hearing His voice it's usually either because we haven't obeyed His last instruction and He's waiting patiently for us to get in line with His prophetic prompting or because we haven't done the four things I discussed in the first article of this series.
If you've positioned your heart to hear from God and you still aren't hearing—and you are walking in obedience—it's possible that you just don't recognize His mode of communication. There are many, many ways God communicates with His people. In Part 1 of this series, we'll look at five common ways God speaks. (Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can get Part 2 in your email inbox.)

Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Healing for Your Body and Soul

2015: The Year of New Beginnings
Every year we set our hearts on a new beginning of some sort—but 2015 is different than 2014, 2013, 2012 and the years before. That's because 2015, as the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, is the year of new beginnings.
The most significant new beginning of my life happened in a jail cell about 15 years ago. I was falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit. After losing my husband the year before, I lost just about everything else I had during the 40 days it took to see my vindication. I lost my apartment, my job, my savings, my dog—it sort of sounds like one of those sad country songs. (You can read my entire testimony here.) But I gained Christ and I consider everything else worthless compared with the value of knowing Him (Phil. 3:8).
Nothing can top my salvation experience, but I do believe 2015 will prove to be a year of new beginnings—notice the Holy Spirit told me beginnings (plural) and not beginning (singular). In 2014, many in the body of Christ sensed they were being prepared for something—something they couldn't articulate. Many felt like they were being stretched beyond their natural limits. Many thought felt they were pregnant with something big and felt the pain and frustration of being past due.
Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Restoring Families and Interceding for Prodigals

WATCH: 2015: The Year of New Beginnings
Every year we set out hearts for a new beginning of some sort—but 2015 is different than 2014, 2013, 2012 and the years before. That’s because 2015, as the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, is the year of new beginnings. Let this video encourage you. I'll release an article in a few days that expounds on this.
Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Pressing Through Transition
Many of you are in a transition, in between where you are and where God wants to take you. In this morning prayer call, we prayed for those going through transition. We came against delays, hindrances, and obstacles that are preventing God's people from entering into God's perfect will. People emailed me saying they experienced deliverance on this call!

Did 2014’s Prophetic Words Ring True?
In the days and weeks ahead, prophetic voices around the world will release prophecies for 2015. You'll read a handful of them on the “Prophetic Insight” section of charismamag.com.
But before we charge ahead to weigh prophetic mandates, directives and warnings for 2015, let's take a minute to look back at the prophetic words declared over 2014. After all, you can't always limit God's words to a 12-month timeline.
As I've said before, it's possible that some 2014 prophecies won't be relevant for years and others will remain relevant for years to come. So, again, before we move on to the next new prophetic word, let's review what prophetic voices declared last year and respond according to His Spirit.
Why Are So Many Christians Turning Into Atheists?
Pastor Ryan Bell made a strange New Year's resolution in 2014—he aimed to live a godless year.
Bell, no relation to universalist Rob Bell, kept a blog to chronicle his yearlong journey without God and even had a documentary crew on hand to film what turned out to be his transformation from a Seventh-Day Adventist pastor to a full-blown atheist.
“I've looked at the majority of the arguments that I've been able to find for the existence of God, and on the question of God's existence or not, I have to say I don't find there to be a convincing case, in my view,” Bell told NPR's Arun Rath.
Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Rejecting the Spirit of Weariness
We all get weary sometimes, and this morning I was led to pray against the weariness that tempts us to quit pressing into to God's promises.
Join me for these Mornings With the Holy Spirit prayer calls Monday through Friday and check out my new devotional. I read a devotion for the day, and launch into prayer with you and for you.

4 Things to Do if You Can’t Hear God’s Voice
I started hearing God speak to me as soon as I got saved—and I needed to. It would be an understatement to describe my situation as desperate.
See, I got saved in a county jail. I was falsely accused of a crime I did not commit and the state wanted to send me to prison for five years. (You can read my entire testimony here.) God had a different idea and sent a group of evangelists to the jail to offer testimonies of Jesus' saving grace.
I was sold on the gospel—and sold out to Jesus—but I was still facing five years in prison on a false charge. I didn't know what to do, so I just started reading the paperback Bible they gave me after the jailhouse crusade, praying and attending any sort of quasi-church service I could find behind those cold hard walls.
Mornings With the Holy Spirit: Overcoming the Battle in the Mind and the Accuser of the Brethren
I've been amazed at the testimonies around these prayer calls.
For the launch of my new prophetic devotional, Mornings With the Holy Spirit, I've launched Monday through Friday prayer calls. I read a devotion for the day, and launch into prayer with you and for you.
In today's call, we focused on the battle in the mind and the accuser of the brethren. Click the headline to access the link to the prayer call.
