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.

Star of Wonder

The Heavens Declare His Glory and So Will Your Life!

Stand Firm! Your Victory Comes From the Lord
Kathi Pelton “Be very strong; be careful to obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, without turning aside to the right or to the left.” Joshua 23:6 Do not turn aside to the left or the right… The instructions of the Lord are a narrow road but one…

You Are the Apple of God’s Eye
Kathi Pelton As I prayed I heard the Lord speak these words, “Like a father protects his children or a man protects the bride of his youth, so I watch over my children and bride with a fierce and jealous love. You are the apple of my eye!” I could hear the cries of many…

The God of Second Chances
Kathi Pelton To be saved is to be given a second chance. When Jesus paid the price for the penalty that sin had brought against mankind it created a way for every man and every woman to receive a second chance through a full pardon. As I’ve been studying the third chapter of Zechariah I…
