GLORIOUS IMPACT: Biblical encouragement & edification

Encouragement, edification, and empowerment from a biblical perspective for true transformation.

  • God Answers Prayer

    Psalm 66:16-20 16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what he did for me. 17 For I cried out to him for help, praising him as I spoke. 18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. 19 But God…

  • Choices

    There is so much going on today regarding leadership in the church. Not to be critical or judgmental, we all need Jesus in such a way as never before. Our shepherds need prayer. The Scripture I would like to reference is John 21:16 from the NLT – “Jesus repeated the question: ‘Simon, son of John,…

  • Moving out of the Chaos

    Change and Self-Control What is control? The definition of the verb is “restraint or direction over; dominate”. The definition of the noun is “to hold in check”. The reason for both here is that the noun directly relates to yourself and the verb relates to others. Why do I want to talk about control? Just…

  • Draw Near to God

    2nd Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their their sin and heal their land.” This Scripture is one of my favorites. There are four steps…

  • A Precious Ponder

  • Avid

    Avid What are you avid about? What do you have enthusiasm for? What are you zealous for? Keen about and devoted to or dedicated to? The antonym is indifferent. Today I speak on faith. I am zealous about my faith. I am not indifferent to what pertains to eternal life. I am an avid reader…

  • Jesus’ Sacrifice

      Jesus’ sacrifice was necessary so I could call on His name today! Ephesians 6:14-17 – “14) So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness (an upright heart), 15) and having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation [to face the enemy with firm-footed…

  • The Spirit is Willing but The Flesh is Weak

    The Resurrection of Jesus is truly the reason the Spirit overcomes the flesh. Power over the flesh is definitely possible because all things are possible through God to him who believes.

  • “On the Edge” Book Review by E. Parker Hudson

    In the grand scheme of things, when we think of demonic activity, we picture the red devil with the pitchfork. In my absence from posting, I have been reading quite a bit and praying. I hadn’t realized that I was under such a great attack. This post is about the victory of knowing that we…

  • August 20th Thoughts

    I would like to say hello. I have been temporarily out of pocket dealing with the things that have been coming my way. Spiritually, it has been challenging as I work on complete surrender to the Lord and His plans and purpose for my life.  A couple weeks ago, ready to write what the Lord…

  • The Focus is Prayer

    THE FOCUS IS PRAYER.

  • Today’s Thoughts_Sunday, May 15th

    Today was a good day. I didn’t have to work and took the time to just relax in going about my day. I did plan to go to church but didn’t. I worked late last night and needed the rest. However, I have been listening to the spirit and understand more about living in the…

  • Book Review_Saved By Angels

    This review is on Saved by Angels, written by Bruce Van Atta. This is an excellent book to read about the testimony of another believer and be inspired by his journey. Most important though is how it is relative to us all in this spiritual journey. He relates quite effectively because he is very honest…

  • Again and Again

    Second Time Around In response to the Daily Post prompt, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti are two books that I have read not only once or twice but several times over the years. It has been on my heart to read them again and this prompt comes up. I had to…
