Good morning,
Have you ever asked the Lord, “Why have you sent me to this place? Honestly, I have asked that question a few times in my journey, and The Lord Lord reminds me that He has a purpose and a plan for every day of my life, even when it looks CRAZY. His gentle nudge and reminder is for me to be AVAILABLE and FAITHFUL.

We are in session 3, staff are beginning to get weary, but remind them…Not to faint, but to rest in the presence of the Lord, (prayer and praise) where there is fullness of Joy (because the joy of the Lord is their strength)

Today, The Lord reminded me why I am involved in serving and ministering to the poor, marginalized, and needy: “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord.”. (Ps 12:5).

God says He will arise because He heard the cry of His people. A momma, a dad, a grandma, or a youth worker from the city has been crying out for the souls of those who came through the gate. Even their own soul may be crying in silence to an unknown God! - We have the opportunity to make Him known.

The Lord arises on earth through earthen vessels, like you and me. This is a principle of how God advances His Kingdom.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. (Is 60:1–3).

Make Him known today be AVAILABLE, and FULL OF FAITH!

❤️🙏🏽 Doc

🚨Long Post Alert 🚨

As we honor fathers all over the world today, remember we have a Father in Heaven who is always available.
Let’s honor Him every day.

Our Father, The creator of the Universe, is seated on His throne today, seated on the praises of His people. We can give the gift of worship and praise to our Heavenly Father as we lift up His Holy name. There is none like Him. He is in a category all by himself!

This Father “patēr” is the one who nourishes, provides, and protects us all the days of our life. Our Father is the one who nourishes and cares for us like a “nursing mother”, “providing what’s needed right on time”, “a refuge and strong tower.”

“Would a nursing mother forget the child of her womb? Even they forget, but I have not forgotten you, I have inscribed you in the palms of my hand.” (Isaiah 49:15-16a)

Every time you use your hands today or see them, remember how much He loves you, and give Him praise!

“Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
(Ge 22:13–14).

Thank you, Jesus, for being the TRUE sacrifice at Calvary for each of us! As you look at the tree branches on the ground that could be used for a fire, catch a glance of the hills, or are cutting up meat for the meal, remember the Lord provided a sacrifice right on time for you, and all those we are called to serve.

Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
(Ps 61:1–3).

When you are feeling overwhelmed today, look around you. If you see a “rock,” call to the Lord in prayer at that instant. And be mindful, He is your refuge, and strong tower. A TRUE SAFE PLACE

Good morning, everyone! As we honor Flag Day in the US today, my heart is drawn to a deeper truth: we are citizens of Heaven, ambassadors of another nation, with the Kingdom of Heaven as our embassy! God's banner is raised above it!

Just like national flags represent history, values, and identity, so does our beautiful relationship with God:

His Story: We were chosen in love to be His children. Today, call on your Heavenly Father in prayer – He's ready to provide, protect, and nourish you!

His Values: He loves you with an unconditional, never-ending love. His mercies are brand new this morning. Come to the altar, His arms are open wide!

Our Identity: Whatever you do today, remember God is your banner, your "Nissi." Your identity is found in Christ His son, for you were made like Him!

Let His nature flow through you today. As you "abide" in His presence and Word, you have the capacity to bear His fruit. What will you choose today? Which "embassy" will you run to?

"The name of The Lord is like a strong tower, the righteous run in and are safe." Proverbs 18:10

Our Heavenly Father knows the ways that I take. He is intimately acquainted with every moment of my life. One day, I am at Kids Across America, and the next, sharing the ministry venue with Heather Thompson Day at a women’s conference. All the days of our lives are written in God’s book before there was even one!

Good morning!

I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me. But I’ve been writing and pouring into leaders at Kids Across America. I will be sharing some of the new books and the Bible studies. We must be shored up and built up in the word of God in the season. I pray that you joined me and diving deep in his word and encouraging the next generation to do the same. Below is a note I sent this morning after the youth at camp heard The Gospel message and were ministered to at what we call Cross Talk…

Good morning team,

The word of God tells us that the Lord sits like a mother eagle hovering over her nest. Today, my brothers and sisters, you will be perched high listening for the bell to ring for the many new babes that were born again last night or have come back to the nest to be nurtured. The next few days are critical for these babies.

A mother eagle will slightly nudge the nest so that the little ones get disturbed from their comfort and have to learn to fly. She is letting them know that they are created with everything they need to soar like she does. But... in the meantime, they are being nurtured and are watching and listening.

One day, while cooking a fish breakfast on the beach Jesus asked Peter do you love me? He said yes. And Jesus said, feed my sheep, and tend to my lambs.

There is work to do today listen, pray, feed them and lead them!

❤️🙏🏾 Doc

Take time to read the article posted by my dear friend and colleague Dr Annita D’Amico. It is good stuff. She has wisdom and insight! She’s a hidden gem!
Here it is if you do not have instagram:

As a child of God who is called to lead we must always be a “follower” of Jesus and the Guide He sent us, The Holy Spirit.

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.” John 16:13-15 ❤️ Doc

Who you were born to be is hidden in the culture of your upbringing. When you “choose” to follow the Lord and are “born again” then your Kingdom identity shines through your culture.

It’s a new season. A new day and a new year! Let’s be revived and come alive to thrive in 2025!

Merry Christmas my friends! My phone has been pinging, and my heart is full as well as my stomach😂 (Great food today!) As we celebrated Christmas, I was reminded that we are blessed to have received the greatest gift ever given!

The challenge after the festivities are over is to remember who God says we are! Surround yourself with those who believe in you and will motivate you to be who God has called you to be. This is essential! Because we are at war.

We do not fight against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities and rulers and forces of wickedness in heavenly realms. The enemy of our soul will be disguised as discouragement, frustration, alienation and exhaustion. This is why it is essential to connect with Kingdom Family to stay encouraged.

God orders our steps and knows who will cross our path moment by moment. So…As the new year begins let’s walk as God’s Kingdom Family speaking the truth to one another and encouraging each other day after day. The Book says the world will know that we are Jesus’ disciples by our love for one another!

Love is patient, love is kind, love is not selfish or rude, love is not provoked, it doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth. Love beats all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and love never fails.

Let’s walk in Love!

Has anyone ever said to you this is the "right way" to teach ________?
There is nothing new under the sun.

Jesus didn't leave us a method. He left us a message. Methods always change, but His Word remains the same!

✅ Hebrews 13:8

The whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (not our knowledge) as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
