Did you grow up with a grandma who believed in the power of the Lord? I had a grandma like this. I so enjoyed hearing her tell me of her encounters of her new-found faith in the Lord. I know she prayed for me. And like her, I pray for mine too. Today, I want […]
Ability to Overcome Disability

Create an Atmosphere of Faith for Healing
In a village called Sonjo in Tanzania, where we held a healing conference, there was a teenage girl who had been deaf since birth.

Satan Covets Your Blessings
I had the oddest experience today that got me to thinking about how the enemy covets our blessings. I was shopping in the woman’s department at a local store. I found the perfect skirt, blouse and blazer outfit needed for my next ministry trip to Tanzania. It was the right fabric for the hot and […]
