Sooner or later, you are going to come face-to-face with a challenge in your life: the man in the mirror. I have personally spent some significant time considering weighty questions while this face was staring back at me. I hear from other guys that it's very natural for them to have exchanges with this 'guy.' He is a some[...]
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 ESV I remember the first time I laid eyes on this scripture. It was a moment I felt the Lord speak into my sp[...]
"But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…" (Acts 1:8 AMP) I have always struggled with tempering my enthusiasm when I move a rock in my life and discover a treasure beneath it. We are still early in the HEARTstrong journey, but I am getting the sense that there is an awakening that seems to[...]
Imagine if people were able to recognize you simply by your bold behaviour. Imagine if your behaviour became your reputation, not only out in public but even more so at home.

His only outstanding concern i[...]
Hebrews 4:3 at the end talks about entering God's rest. When I first read it, it immediately struck me that this rest is synonymous with the peace that surpasses all understanding referred to in Philippians 4:6-7. "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has d[...]
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV I once heard that the Enemy shouts, but God whispers because the one who whispers is always closer than the one who needs to shout. The Bible tell[...]
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10 NIV Beautiful Younger Soul, Wait! I know that you think about what you will do next week, that you are looking forward to the next step, that you are often thinking about when… When you will finish school when you will have a boyfriend when this situation will be over… But whi[...]
The question “who am I” in and of itself infers that I am always the same. It assumes that there is no growth in my life. The truth is that we are all different now than who we were when we were 12, 18, 30 … you catch my drift. In 5 minutes from now, you could have a revelation that can literally change your life. For mos[...]
We honour and celebrate our fathers today - spiritual fathers, fathers by birth or fathers by behaviour. God celebrates you as a male. (He created them male and female and blessed them. Gen 5: 2a NKJV) God blessed Adam and gave him a position (Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden Gen 2: 15a NKJV). In the sa[...]
