Do Not Fret…Trust Him
Kathi Pelton For any of you who follow my writings, you are aware of the 40-day time of “Yielding” that God has been leading us in. When I saw that today is day 37 I immediately thought of one of our life verses, Psalm 37: “Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the…

God is Purifying All That the Enemy Has Defiled
Kathi Pelton As I’ve taken the past two months to meditate on Zechariah 3–a story that is marked by God’s miraculous grace to save a man defiled by his own iniquities—I have become keenly aware of this continual work of grace happening in the lives of God’s sons and daughters even now. As believers we…

The Miracles that Happened Before Will Happen Again
Kathi Pelton For a couple of months now I’ve been hearing the Spirit speak the words, “What has happened before will happen again.” I wasn’t sure specifically what this meant and didn’t want to assume a meaning, but today I heard these words again.

It takes but one lit match to bring light. I recently had…

He Gives Us Pure Oil
Jeffrey Pelton This evening begins the celebration of Hanukkah with the lighting of the first of eight candles. The miracle that occurred over 2200 years ago is a picture of the light that has illuminated our hearts—a light of purity and a light of the miraculous. We pray as Paul did in Ephesians 1:18; that…

He Gives True Wisdom
Jeffrey Pelton Wise children heed their father’s instructions. When we were young, if we chose to not obey our parents or guardians, we could be easily misled, deceived, and manipulated. Even as adults, we are not always able to keep ourselves from being coerced and seduced by the enticing and flattering treasures of the world.…

Your Debts Have Been Paid
Kathi Pelton I woke up this morning with a line from the worship song, “One Thing Remains” playing over and over again in my mind, “My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can separate my heart from Your great love.” We were born into a world that already had victory, jubilee, and eternal life provided…

You Are Being Handed a Blank Check
Kathi Pelton Yesterday God moved powerfully at our church in Portland, Oregon (USA). It was a time where God was blessing the generations to walk as one together. First the fathers and mothers laid hands on those between ages 20 to 30; releasing the blessing of what we carry and the fire of God upon…
