From my garden Psalm 5: 12 (Amplified)   12  For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favour). Learning each day to draw closer to the Lord I have no other option but to focus my time and efforts on reading God’s Word.  My Bible is a tool I have at my hands and I study it as often as I can.  I have a lot of knowledge about this great book but I lack the revelation many times. Reading and praying is probably something second nature to me.  I have an urgent need to draw on the word of God and it grows each day.  I am really doing everything I know to become obedient when thinking about my Lord Jesus Christ.  I believe that my passion lay with the Lord, I don’t know that I have arrived as yet but am doing everything possible to get in line with my God.  Isaiah 50: 7 ‘. . . I have … determin...

Zelda Taylor When the odds are against you – you are able to get up and go.   I would like to take this time and write about my sister the pioneer in our family. Nikita Taylor Zelda Taylor, born in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.   I think a beautiful blonde woman with two beautiful children.   Her son Duane Taylor now in the USA working.   Her daughter in Grade 12 Nikita Taylor.   Just for the record the children are being raised by a single mom.   Zelda’s husband passed away a short while after they discovered that she was pregnant with Nikita and she has been taking care of these children.    Life happened and after relocating to Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape, South Africa my sister realised that it was just impossible to make any money there.   Life was difficult and she had to leave Duane behind as he was attending Grey High School and didn’t want to make a change in his schooling.  ...

Launch out into the deep. Luke 5: 4 Faith is something that we all have and if we don’t believe in something it normally won’t happen.  So this morning it is my declaration to you that God will be in our situations suddenly and if we don’t launch out into the deep and trust in Him we cannot get it to take place.  I want to launch out into this place of being able to write something that will blow your mind.  The only topic I can write about is my God and even then I feel inadequate because of my little faith.  So I believe God will appear to me suddenly and I will have inspirational words to lift you up and me.  I believe my God is awesome and in control over each and every situation in our lives.  Suddenly it will take place and I will be stretched to the maximum to give my very best at all times.

Hebrews 11: 6 ‘… he who comes to God must believe that … he is a rewarder ..’ A renewing of my mind has been taking place over the last couple of months.   It is a difficult and painful process as I have come to realise there are things in my life that wasn’t pleasing to my God.   I also had come to a place in my life which made me realise that I am unable to do anything without my God.   When times are good and we have plenty and we don’t worry about anything we seem to move away from the Lord God.   Because of my situation I have drawn closer to God and now in faith I stand on His word.   I have sinned and I realise that because of my sin I must have disappointed God and so many other people around me.   I was one of those people who suffered from a very bad sickness ‘arrogance’ and ‘no compassion for people’.   Now that is something to deal with one your own when you are alone with God and there is on one to speak to but God. Standing on God’s...

Romans 5: 8 ‘But God has shown us how much he loves us – it was while we were still sinners that Christ died for us!’ Thank You Father God for the knowledge that You love us so much that even while we were still sinners You let Jesus Christ die for our sins.   How awesome are You Lord.   Nothing in this world can compare to Your greatness and wonder.   Every one of us is undeserving of Your Love and yet You gave Your only begotten Son Jesus Christ for our salvation.    Humbly Lord I pray that I am embrace Your word and become more and more like Jesus.   Let me live the life You have ordained for me in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.   Amen

Zechariah 9: 10 ‘ Your king will make peace among the nations. ’   I asked the Lord in humble prayer to give me a word for today and this is what I received.   I   want to pray for peace in Israel and also peace in America, Europe and all over Africa and Australia. Father God, in the name of Your son Jesus Christ I want to pray the words of this scripture, Lord may you make peace among the nations.   In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
