Vignettes Imitate The Father Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. Ephesians 5:1 In a dream I had many years ago, God the Holy Spirit gave me insight into Ephesians 5:1   that taught me the important Kingdom Principle of Imitating the Father . In the dream I saw many children, sons and daughters, with their fathers. My attention was drawn specifically to a father and his son. The father led his son by the hand. The father was constantly aware of the fact that wherever he went and whatever he did, his son was watching him, imitating his every move, learning from him,  and doing his best to be just like his father.  The son, clinging tightly to his father's hand, looked often at his dad with admiration and love in his eyes as they talked, walked and worked together. Whatever the father did, the son did, too. When the father respectfully greeted another father and his child, the son did so, too. The mannerisms, style, attitude and body movements the father employe...

Vignettes Sounds In The Night Psalm 139:11-12 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You; but the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Vignettes It’s Amazing What Faith Can Do! It’s Amazing What Faith can Make. James 5:15 And the Prayer of Faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

The pain the people, the beloved of God, are enduring makes me appreciate the fact that we have more than medicine to turn to in our time of need. Medicine is necessary, a blessing from God, I believe. But so is the Prayer of Faith. Holy Spirit teaches us through James, the brother of Jesus, that the Prayer of Faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him or her up. But God does not limit the Prayer of Faith to healing only. It can be prayed, and results seen, under any circumstance. Holy Spirit spoke these words to me when He gave me the prophecy for this month, the month of Adar1, 5782 , in 2021: It’s amazing what faith can do. It’s amazing what faith can make! Mark 11:...
