As Christians, we can find opportunities to preach the Gospel and pray for fellow brothers and sisters in need everywhere! All you need is a little discernment – mixed with some boldness. The secret ingredient to both is practice!

I don’t get it right 100% of the time… but I give 100% every time God opens a door for me to walk through and minister to someone. My aim is to make the most of every opportunity He presents to me. People are more open to being ministered to more than you would think… especially at the moment in history in which we find ourselves.

Recently, at one of my son’s wrestling matches, I found myself sitting amongst the “opposition”. Would you believe that God opened a door for me to talk to the parent sitting next to me? After some good discussion back and forth, this mother asked me to talk to her 18-year-old son. I thought, “What do I have to say to an 18-year-old young man?” As he walked over, I heard Holy Spirit clearly say to me, “Be interested in him and what he wants to do.”

Well, being obedient to the Holy Spirit’s leading culminated in me laying hands on him along with his Mom and Dad! Yes, right there in the middle of a Middle School wrestling match I was able to pray and prophesy over this precious, young man!

Over the years of living a life of ministry, I have only encountered one person who refused my offer to pray for them! I have seen the Lord meet people right where their faith was and it has caused my own faith to grow at the same time.

I have nothing “more” or “greater” than you… I am simply willing to take that “step of faith”. So, if you are reading this, I want to challenge you to step out in faith and allow God to use you. Over time you will also stand in amazement in just how much He uses you – just the way you are!!!

More Than Equals – Women on Paul’s Team

Let’s examine an important issue in many parts of the Body of Christ. Biblically, “What is the role of women in the church?” As a prophetic reformer, I have an assignment. I’m trying to *write my vision and make it plain* so *leaders can run with it*! I’m for church growth, evangelism, and the Great Commission!

It’s Personal With Jesus

Recently, one morning, I asked the Lord, “What do you want to show me today?” I heard words quoted to me that Jesus had spoken to Mary Magdalene outside the tomb. “Stop clinging to Me for I have not yet ascended to My Father.”

Strange! What could that possibly mean?

Fathering Into Maturity

For the past 11 years, I have been fixated on the idea of deep, healthy discipleship. My life’s mission has been to bring a systematic approach to growth and spiritual maturity to the nations. I remember one day when I was running in the sweltering Texas heat, how the Lord spoke very clearly to me about my future. While He may not have given me all the nitty-gritty details, He did make a few things very clear to me.
